I was able to connect with my good old friend Sagar Satyal and discuss about his life choices. We have touched upon topics around understanding different choices, being self aware and accountable about those choices along with discussions around expectations, agreements, empathy... We have also talked about Sagar's different life experiences that have influenced his unconventional life decisions. Hope you will enjoy our conversation.

PS. It looks like N'Golo Kante will have to wait another 4 years to get hold of the Euros!

This episode was recorded back in June 2020 where we have tried to discuss aspects of moving to a different city with my friend Aastha and my brother Ankit. We discuss their journey of moving to the US and discuss Ankit's song 'Anaginti Aatma' which he has described as "largely been influenced by beautifully chaotic city, New York".

The music video of the song is available in Youtube.

After a short break from podcasting, I am back. I have connected with Mannsi Agrawal in this episode. We explore her recent travel around Nepal, talk about how toastmaster saved her, her childhood journey of growing up in Calcutta and move to Kathmandu.

PS: This episode is in English (well around 95%).

A news was published recently in one of the digital media platform about a discriminatory proposal which required family consent and recommendation from the ward office for female under 40 travelling abroad. This was followed up by an audio clip published by another media house interviewing the director of department of immigration confirming the proposal. 

I have invited Nishma Choudhary, a prominent media-person, and Rastra Timalsena, Advocate/Lecturer/Youtuber, in this episode of 'Mero Sero Fero' to get their thought on this news and reflect on how this depicts the mindset of our society. We discuss their initial reaction to the news, what led to the thinking behind this proposal and what can we do as a member of the same society.

Continuing the discussion around business from last episode, I have been able to invite two business owners into the show. I am discussing things that we need to keep in mind while running business at different phases with Bipin Thapa (Director of ME10) and Samartha Suwal (Investor in Layaku Durbar Restaurant & Heritage Home). We also touch upon the societal and family support while we go the business route rather than a traditional corporate job route. Hope you all will enjoy this episode with two of my fellow ACCA.

'Business' has been a very exciting topic for me as I have always loved the concept of creating values, solving problems and helping community through 'trade not aid'. I connected with Bidhyabaridhi Sigdel dai (Managing Director, Dolma Impact Fund) to discuss about concept around business. We have talked about Bidhya dai's recent travel, history of business and how it has moulded the thinking of society and state in this episode. As every episode, I have also been able to ask for his advice to the younger generation towards the end of the episode. Hope you will enjoy our discussion.

Continuing the discussion around education, I reconnected with my 8th grade social studies teacher, R. P. Basyal sir, in this new episode! This was such a refreshing discussion where we discuss about our memories from almost two decades ago & comparing private education in Nepal now vs. then along with discussion around our society. 

Yo listeners! We are back with Episode 3. I have connected with another high school friend, Amir Joshi, Communication Manager at Teach for Nepal. We talk about education in public community schools in Nepal, what Teach for Nepal does and how we can be part of this movement. 

I have invited my dear friend, Bishal Kafle, to remember all the fun things about Dashain and our experiences about celebrating Dashain outside Nepal. We talk about Syanja, Chitwan, buying new clothes and specially having 'khasi'...

In our first episode, I have invited two of my very good high school friends to discuss about patriarchy in Nepali society. We are discussing a hindi movie - "Thappad" and trying to look at it from a Nepali society perspective, sharing our stories and our perspective.
