Youth Forum ANA Convention 2005 Dallas, Texas Co-organizers: Abha Bhattarai, Pukar Malla Panelists: Yubraj Acharya, Aditya Bhattarai, Nayantara Kakshapati, Rakshita Koirala, Sameer Maskey, Sagar Onta, Bhupendra Pant, Nirjan Rai, Mridula Shrestha, Neeta Shrestha, Zoubein Vision The Nepali youth in the North America face many pressing issues ? cultural identity, relationships, career choices, Nepali politics, personal and community development, freedom, social adaptation, professional guidance, returning to Nepal (and many more). Day in, day out ? these topics are sometimes discussed, sometimes ignored, and sometimes left at the hands of the frail or non-existent leadership; the issues remain largely unattended in due propriety. Let?s identify and dissect some of these issues. Let?s ask the right questions. Let?s be inspired and inspire the rest of the to foster discussion that may lead to answers. Method The Forum is a 2-day event. We want to keep the ambience for discussion fairly informal and particularly avoid the traditional panel format. Saturday (July 2nd) 2-3PM The audience members and the panelists will seat themselves in tables spread around the room. Two or more panelists at each table will guide the discussion. Each table will identify and briefly present five youth issues. The organizers and the panelists will decide on the final five topics of discussion based on the topics that all tables present. At the end, Andazification, a Nepali hip-hop band, will open the floor for social mingling and light snacks. Sunday (July 3rd) 3-4PM Tables will be set for the five different topics. Audience can choose one of them. Two or more panelists at each table will present their views on the topic-on-the-table and guide the discussion. Each table will present a summary of their discussion. Future The Youth Forum discussion will expand beyond the premises of ANA Dallas. All of the panelists and the organizers are eager to work with each other and the rest of the Nepali (and friends of Nepal) community in continuing the discussion on the 5 topics and more at other venues (online, other conventions, magazines and more). Furthermore, we are keen on implementing some of the ideas that germinate at this convention or at other venues.

YOU BUGGERS HAVE THIS EVERY YEAR. HAVE ANY OF THE RESOLUTIONS, IDEAS OR POLICIES YOU GUYS DISCUSS BEEN IMPLEMENTED TOWARDS ANYTHING ? OR AS USUAL THIS IS JUST A NAMES SAKE FORUM THAT DOES NOTHING FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR EXCEPT TO SHOW OFF IN THIS GATHERING. I THINK YOU GUYS SHOULD STOP BOOKING HALLS, WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME AND MONEY.

bath ....., i have never been in one of these so I would not know i am sure your reasoning are valid.. I WISH THEY ARE NOT.. but based on the background of people involved I do not think that they need to SHOW OFF. Their achievements and credentials speaks for themselves.. and I do not think SHOWING OFF at a NEPALESE COVENTION is going to do any good to them for their own reputation.. just my thoughts. BUT WHAT DO I KNOW??? I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I AM A PERSON WITH VERY LIMITED KNOWLEDGE SO....

thapap, I dun care what their background is. You know very well that these discussions are not going anywhere. So if they are not showing off parading with their BIODATA(like saying I ahve done this 'n that, i own this 'n that) then what the fug are they doing. And Ana parading them around like they are some sorta trophy. heh heh Matrix, You do not know me.. so DO NOT PASS JUDGEMENT ON PEOPLE BASED UPON THEIR POSTS. It just bugs me when I see all this red tape bullshit that happens in these gatherings. WHAT has ANA done beside these gatherings ? NADA... I rest my case. Cripto, Maybe I should just srush you and put in my coffee...maybe I will gain some super power...heh heh

I agree with BathroomCoffee. ANA and their stupid so called forums are totally irrelevant to our daily lives. Forums in ANA are nothing but a HORSE & PONY show.PUKAR, if you want to experience a real Youth Forum, come to SAJHA CHATROOM. We talk about all kinds of thing there and it is totally free and happens daily 24/7. Kura garcha $@#@%&* !! And, yes you can convery thatl to your ANA President too. Tell him NATTU said that. BAAT KARTA HAI !!!

bath...., its like any convention. I HOPE. Say if you wrote a paper and sent it for publication in an IEEE. you got selected and You get invited to present it. That is because the "contemporary panel of the board" thought that the paper is worth something right? I am sure same in this regard. Does it go beyond the presentation? Then it is the responsibility of the presentor and participants to take it beyond. It all depends how truly is one dedicated to the particular Issue. At least people presenting should be appreciated for their work because they are putting forward an idea. JUST BECAUSE IT DOES NOT GO FORWARD MEANS ITS ANA's FAULT? NOPE ITS YOUR/MINE/ALL INDIVIDUAL'S FAULT BECAUSE WE ARE NOT CONTRIBUTING. ANA is doing its job by presenting an idea. Its you/me/individual who have to carry it beyond ANA.. ONCE AGAIN ITS MY THOUGHT>> BUT WHAT DO I KNOW??? I HAVE BEEN TOLD OF BEING A PSYCO, WEIRDO, AMONG MANY OTHER ADJ. SO ......

NATTU, one thing you donot know about me is I HAVE NEVER ATTENDED ANA conventions as I said before. Its my choice coz I have better offers than attending ANA on long july 4th weekends. Another thing is i believe in HARD WORK. so NO ASSKISSING. If i had that QUALITY.. then I would be like you.. quick in making judgement when people do not agree with your view. and when you do not even know about them (o: in support of ur alliances. ONCE AGAIN ITS MY THOUGHT BUT WHAT DO I KNOW??? I HAVE BEEN TOLD OF BEING AN INSANE AMONG OTHER ADJ. SO ......
