So much frustration and complaints going around regarding ANA cultural program. Why are participants from other states not being welcomed to perform, while some people are performing repeatedly? Many phone calls are not being responded by the cultural prog main coordinator..it's disrespectful and irresponsible of the coordinator. ANA is for ALL Nepalese.

This year it is only for Gurungs my friend,... no offense to my gurung daju bhai didi bahini,, I am not blaming all of you but those few who are organizing, only their relatives and people they know can participate rey.... forget phone calls, they dont' reply emails either...

I have heard this from many many people.... thanks for posting this

that's why I don't want to know anything about ANA. Nothing but AKA ANUS.

First of, ANA or GBNC for that matter is not for Gurungs only although it seems like it this year. I heard the cultural coordinator is taking part in many dances himself while ignoring others even when they're calling and offering to help by taking part. Being in a position as himself, he can't be unfair and biased (towards Grgs)...for that he should stick to Tamu Samaj. Again, no offense to some Grg bros and sis.

In one of the previous ANAs concerts, all the local artists and artists of Baltimore are suppose to sing not more than 2 songs each person kyare. But once they got hold of mic, naam nai lidaina chodne. haha. Aru ko geet gaune turn aisakyo tara pani gayeko cha gayeko cha. hahaha. Not more than 2 songs hai organizer le bhanda pani k ho atteri artists haru yaar. Bujhnu parcha ni. Yetro barsa America basera siknu parcha ki pardaina. Nepal hoina ni yo. Hall limited time ko lagi book gareko huncha organizer haru le. May be not all artists are like this. Bichara Nepal dekhi bolayeko artist le gaunai payena. Organizer haru pani mic sike khosera linu parcha ni atteri bhayera basepachi.
