Parsuram shares with me, “Sir, i have to work but there is now nepal banda. I had to walk 10 kilometers today to collect a payment. I am just wondering for how long i should stay in Nepal. My wife is a staff nurse and she got a job offer in Denmark. We could go but…
The formula for Nepals’ success is in the Gita
Will Nepal ever be emancipated from the grip of bad leadership, inaction and great divide between communities? Actually the root cause may be somewhere else. How about ‘the corruption theory of Nepal’s doom’ ?

Forced strike:roots and ending
Today a political party suddenly called for a banda or a forced strike to close all shops and not allowing any vehicles on the road. My cousin was supposed to go back to the Europe today, but he had to find his way like a thief through bypasses. Myself, i had to postpone a training. …

Lose-lose-lose scenarios: a sad reality of Nepal

Love of family over love of nation
How can we deny that the problem in Nepal is that we have been putting our families first before our nation. It is nothing bad. Except when you look at this way: Suddenly you become a minister. In front of you are two paths. One is thankless, without commissions but the nation will get a…
