Communicate your message through social media (Journalists)

Based on a recent talk I gave trying to convince journalists to use social media positively, effectively and immediately in Nepal.

“I use social media to communicate my message to the world. I am not a journalist in a traditional sense. I am a provoker. I provoke people to change themselves. And when I started this process, I was confused on where to start, and how to reach so many Nepali people all around the world. I did not have any resource, any reputation to begin with nor had I any clue how to do this.

Luckily when I was starting off, along came the social media revolution with its tools, Facebook, Twitter, bit.ly, stumbleupon, Linkedin and various other technology came into existance to help me take my message across at a speed and size I had never imagined .

If you ever wanted to communicate to the masses, you will know how hard is it to get a meaningful response or to measure actions people will take based on what you show, write or talk about.  With Social media, it was finally possible to not only communicate your message across, but  actually to build it into campaigns, measure the

Don’t want to see Nepalis dying of cold in winter?

(This article is based on a chiya pasal talk with Anil Chitrakar dai, who inspires many!)

Don’t want to see Nepalis in Terai dying of cold in winter again? 2 things.
First, lets agree that people don’t die because of cold. People die because they didn’t have enough to wear or eat. [Otherwise we would have no Sherpas living in the mountains, right? 🙂 ]

Second, how to get enough to eat and wear. Build 2 railway links 🙂

1) Build a railway link between Ayodhya in India and Janakpur in Nepal ( link birthplace of Ram’ with Sita)

&
2) Build a railway link between Lumbini in Nepal and Kushinagar in India (link Gautam Buddha’s birthplace with his death)?

Why? how?
1) Build Railway link between Janakpur in Nepal and Ayodhya in India
Connect popular Hindu god Ram’s Birthplace, Ayodhya with his wife Goddess Sita’s Birthplace, Janakpur and you have a perfect holy pilgrimage destination. People from the newly affluent India (and even Bihar now because of its double-digit growth) will visit and create opportunities for locals in Eastern Terai.

2)  Build Railway link between Lumbini in Nepal and Kushinagar in India
Connect Lord Buddha’s birthplace to the place he

Good people

10 crazy reasons to start your business in Nepal now

You have a choice right now: Either make your own dreams come true or “you will be hired to make some-one else’s dream come true.”

Here are my 10 reasons for you to start a business in Nepal now.

  1. Overwhelming majority of educated people opt for a non-profit or government or private sector ‘jobs’, leaving the race wide open for you. Go and start a company and attract all those smart people  to actually work for you.
  2. There is crisis all around (electricity, water, fuel, communication, inflation, food quality, air-quality, construction to name a few). Remember crisis is an opportunity for an entrepreneur, and for you to become a multi-millionaire while serving fellow Nepali and Nepal.
  3. High unemployment rates means you can build a team around motivated youths who are desperately looking to stay employed. Plus, you get their goodwill and hopefully loyalty to build a sustainable company in the long run.
  4. Rest of Nepal is still beautiful and now awaits you, thanks to everyone flocking to big cities like Kathmandu. Go outside Kathmandu, and build an opportunity in the forgotten rural areas while also making an impact
