hi to everyone
               the “NAMASTA” the symbol and sign that we here in Nepal use in our day to day activities.NAMASTA is regarded as salutation to show the regards to our frens and elders.
 its a very good approach to show respect.
                          we have different kinds of language  for showing respect to elders ,very different then english language.
