I do not see anything wrong being money saving minded. Just the ways of being frugal. Most of them are true. Does not apply all to everyone. We have to work hard to make little, it's always better to think for tomorrow.

Those lines stated by punditji sound strange. I hardly follow 10-20 % of those statements. But I think those statements rather applied to deshi bhai.But this doesnt mean I am so smart and different than Nepali. I love to be Nepali.

Hey guys, reality bites. But I did not mean to offend anyone. We all know life is hard in this alien land,so we have to be penny wise and also not pound foolish. One of my friends mailed me the stuffs, I found them funny and posted it. And I can frankly say that I relate to most of the statements above, it does not hurt me. I am sorry if it hurts anybody.
