How are people doing it?

Marriage is a sacred thing.  But every day i am getting deeper into marriage in terms of years and events (good news, bad news, unexpected, unprecedented, unplanned) well, the more i am wondering how people have been doing it?  What do i mean by it?  1.  Staying together: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually 2.  Loving…

Managing a bad day

It could have been a worse day.  Everything went wrong.  Still i realize that with a bit of mental strength, powerful self-talk, powerful decision making system, it is possible to turn a bad day into a good day.  The key is not to believe a bad day can happen and that it is only a…

Presentation Vs Exams

If you are a student you must have given over 100 exams in your lifetime.  But how many presentations have you given?  Not as many.  However in order to succeed in life, you will need to give presentations.  By now you must know how to score high in exams, but not so can be said…

Karmic perspective to Nepal bandas

In the past if someone died, no one would care.  Now also not many would care.  But if you happened to join a political party then your death will stop the nation, leading to a riot, a banda, and eventually a curfew.  That is if you are shot or wounded.  No such perks if you…

First is best? Think again.

I think being the second shop is a good place to be. My mother asked the price of bananas at the first shop. He said Rs.20. She said,” So expensive”. She went to next shop. He said also 20. She bought.

Changing the reality of Nepal

What if we could change the reality of  Nepal.  It would require a person with infinite mental power whose thought could change many generations old models of dealing with problems, economic growth and living, mass psychological disorders (rioting, corruption, strikes, bandas, impunity), and falling morale of the people.  He or she would delve into the…

Why I became what I am: a Management Consultant

Is the world different or am I  ? After a whole week of one of the most challenging management consulting work at the particular Bank, two articles, two morning classes, I feel restful today.  I realize that I made the best of the imperfect human being I was with weakenes and liabilities that would make…

Whoever you are are, you can live with dignity

In whatever profession you are do it with passion, as a devotion to god. There is no difference in universal terms between the work of a CEO and a bus conductor. A bus conductor ushers people in a bus and makes them sit and takes their ticket fare. Similarly the CEO leads his staff by…
