Know Thyself First

Yesterday evening while I was flipping TV channels and I got switched to Image Channel (Nepali TV Channel) which was broadcasting Pooja Gurung's program 'Katha Kathmandu' (Story of Kathmandu). She was saying that, "We Kathmanduties know which bar in Thamel (Famous tourist hub in Kathmandu) serve the best cocktails, and at which nook we can delicious Italian Pizzas, and what Maya Pub famous for but are shamelessly clueless about many landmark of Thamel that have very historic significances of Nepal." I agree that we know so much about other country and people around the globe but not NEPAL. TV program's theme 'Know yourself and your place before you visit others and their places' struck me immensely.
