I feel a great regret of having ANA fashion show in ANA Baltimore 2008. Whats wrong with the organizers, don't they have anything better to promote regarding our Nepalese Heritage then a wacky Fashion show? And let me tell the organizers.... we weren't happy to wait freaking 2 hours plus in the line just to get in for the live concert which we paid for and yet was not able to enjoy because of the good daam time the Fashion show took ... Do you guys even did a poll on the out come of the event....how many people liked the Fashion Show thing?? I guess you all need to do a better job in establishing a reputation of the programms that you organize then just have people fly cross country and yet at parties can't provide SECURITY...2007 ANA was a shame so as 2008...are we making any progress? And please folks if you really wanna fight get the FUZZ out and do it... if you bring along yor shitty attitude and or planning to visit this coming ANA 2009 at SFO and start a fight just be where u are and don't even show up...retarded bastards...


Please provide extra security at this ANA 2009 !!so we can enjoy the time we are gonna be there for... and not attending such stupid Fashion Shows of worth less value and with no morals...and which for good God reason dosen't reflect nothing about our culture... stupid wanna be Niggas walking the ramp...come on folks...have you lost your freaking mind?? And please have some good speakers and sound system too! if not some back up speakers too... and yes even if there is a Fight Please kick the ones who are involved in it and let the show go on.

Please!! I urge the organizers to come up with some good ideas to preserve the culture and heritage of a place where we come from and something our kids are going to be looking forward to and we be proud of. And yes the retention of people going to ANA has declined in the years we followed and probably will fade in coming years...Watch out!


People if you don't want the fashion show please pour your thoughts... I just thought it was a wacky show!!

AAmen!

I agree with you FREAK


Adding something wacky to whats already in a wack is this thread all about. And besides dance parties and casual dancing is considered as social hangout which I bet every culture does. Fashion show is good thing but...there ain't ani Nepalipan involved in it. So what kind of a crap is that show all about?


ANA stands for All Nepalese Association


Has ANA consulted with any Nepalese association around North America to involve things like Fashion Shows? Its nothing like the sports matchups we have...regardless those matches are the root causes of the fights 90% of the time. Lets do musical, performance and talent search throughout the Nepalese community. There are so many hidden talents among our people who needs recognition and spot light such as in the fields of Art, Studies, Community service, and the list is on? I don't see that at all. Fun is needed...but there are more FIGHTS than FUN which ruins the whole Nepali image and most ANA goers are dissapointed year after year...

Or how about an idea... if a major team starts up a fight then I think there should be a fine system for messing up things to the state/city representing the team.


AAmen!

ANA fashion show last year was a waste of money and joke. We went three people for only this event. It cost us $25 for registeration in addition to another $15 for fashion show. $40 per person, total of $40 x 3 = $120. The quality of the show was bad. I have been to other fashion shows both in Nepal and also in US but none of these girls knew how to do catwalk properly except for one girl. My suggestion is, if you want to bring amateurs and do fashion show, it is great attempt & positive participation but please make it free. If you want to charge money like this then please make sure you bring trained models who really know what they are doing. And make sure they are wearing nice clothes not the ordinary clothes everyone is wearing at the event. Also I was surprised to hear that Mr. Pukar & Ms.Puja have no experience in professional fashion or modeling. They themselves are amateurs. My question to ANA organizers is how can you let amateurs run a fashion show in ANA and charge us $40? If you are doing some testing like to a guinea pig or justing having fun or you want to become famous in ANA by making name for yourself, please don't make a fool out of yourself. People are not dumb. I don't mind paying for quality event but I am sorry to say last year fashion show was a joke & I don't think this year is going to be anything better since I hear same people are running it this year also. I am  not making persoanl attacks at anyone. If you want to charge people money, then you need to give them their money's worth otherwise you are a faker trying to loot someone and also make name of ANA bad for future.

Since the ANA is in SF this year, the organizers need to get the Singh family to help set up the Fashion show.  A few weeks ago Chandani organized a party in SF and the models there were the real deal.  Dude, if we're gonna shell out dough outta our pockets at least let the show be worth it rather than a damn joke like last year where peeps paid to see models but got to see worse than regular-Joes/Janes walk the ramp (2 females were alrite but the males, looking at them made me feel like "I" was a supermodel too).  LOLs  In all relaity, Could we Neps all just end up seeking quality instead of quantity??

I felt the same way regarding the last 2008 ANA. It was just a waste of my money for attending the Fashion Show and the DJ party after that.

Nepali Theto wrote: "ANA fashion show last year was a waste of money and joke."   By my experience on 2008 ANA, I think the whole ANA is a waste of time, money and a joke.  They charged $25 as registration fee and promised there will be easy access if you buy online, didn’t happen.  My college frat parties were much better than the DJ night.  And the concert, what concert?  It was over before it started because of some ‘technical difficulty’ they got.

ok then let me put my two cents; My first question is for the organizers, why you are doing ANA, if you guys are very clear about what you are doing  and why you are doing, then it will be easy for you to decide what programs you need to include. If you guys think nepali fashion show will satisfy your purpose then it's ok. But still there is one thing, whether you are going to organize programs in your own way whatever you like or you want to select them by popular demand of participants. If you want to include participants' opinion then as mangalam has referred you need to develop feedback system so that you can adjust the programs next time you organized. I don't know whether there was any during 2007 or 2008 ANA because I was not there; Now the same question for participants, why you are participating at ANA? What are you expectations? You guys also need to find out whether there wil be  programs of you interest or not. At least you can use your past experiences or ask the experienced one. I am not sure whether I will be able to participate 2009 or not but if I do then I will be there to see beautiful girls and I know that there will be lots of beauties, FOR SURE.............,


Astu!

I went to ANA thinking that it would be a nepali cultural program and it was like 50% high school prom nights.. Does anyone know where the money collected at ANA go? People go there to drink and dance and show off their body. People spend more than $ 1000 including airfare, car rental and hotel. I will donate that money to charity or go to a nice vacation place. 


 Not to forget that crazy and caotic environment OMG. Nobody knows whats going on there. Annual fighting day for some nepalis.


Should have a dress code for ANA like some formal bar and restaurant. Only Saris and Kurthas, else bouncers stop from entering.

It's time to hold Parallel ANAs that are completely student and budget-oriented in which every penny is accounted for by the organizing committee.

What Nepalese must have in ANA convention or gathering?


(1) Awareness about - suggestion what should have in New Nepali constitution, What Republic & Federal political structure of Nepal, United Nepal or Federal ethnic Nepal? What will be dangerous in ethnic federal Nepal? Why federal political structure in too volatile or dangerous to Nepal and Nepalese?


(2) Information and Awareness about - problem in boundaries of Nepal - Kalapani, Susta and Pashupati nagar east etc.


(3) Problem and possibility of solution of ethnic disputes, dalit, backward communities and indigenous people of Nepal. Why they need special upliftment support, facility, quota systems and rights, but not ethnic federal systems in Nepal.


(4) Root causes problem and possible solution to eliminate Nepali girls trafficking to Bombay (Mumbai) India.


(5) Establish a project to help Nepal - border police posts to make stable law-order, security, toilet in village town centers, mail post in village, school in villages, community drinking water in villages, community library in villages etc. Need some loving, caring and can do positive good example for Nepal.
