In the time of darkness…
February 15th, 2009
In the time of darkness and gloom in Nepal, this entrepreneur is slowly turning to poetry as an escape.
“when the way the society is functioning defies common sense, when the way we live here in kathmandu baffles even us who live in it (you who live away, will be in awe at how things work here), I have found myself in loss to express myself in logical ways, in a common sensical way.”
Business and entrepreneurship mostly assumes a fair degree of stability as a pre-requisite (or semi-stability at worst). Here I am at a loss to explain how business run and how entrepreneurs fare in a (potentially) imploding scenario.
The only thing that makes sense to me amidst Kathmandu’s anarchy /chaos is raw poetry. Lately been doing that more and more. Maybe it is the only place i can escape to.
enjoy,

entrepreneur is a zen master in nepal ?
December 23rd, 2008
if you are an entrepreneur in Nepal right now, then you are also a zen master too. Yes a monk ! because amidst great upheavals you have to keep your mind in focus, calm and empty of distracting thoughts. The trials and tabulations here is hostile to even seasoned entrepreneurs.
The only entrepreneurs who will come out of the present situation in nepal un-scarred are ones with monk like traits, who can stay eternally positive, be at dead present, yet drive passionately on and on, enough to ensure there is no lax in the speed of his/her entrepreneurial effort.
Keep going bunny.. keep going…
you have what it takes to be “a Zen master entrepreneur” ?
new workplace.
December 3rd, 2008
My company’s new IT workplace will have to be:
mostly empty
occasionally full
most employees at home rather than in office at any given time
conversations mostly through phone, chat and skype/gtalk
decisions made miles apart from each other.
clients thousands of miles apart
solutions: same (quality, quality, quality)
solves myriad of problems (random closures, rampant hours long traffic jams, pollution ….) and invites a few 
new age of collaboration.
what is your average productivity per week ?
September 9th, 2008
everyone says we have to work 6 days a week in Nepal.
I seriously doubt if our productivity is more than 2 days.
It just means most of us think work not as a passion but as a job.
not as a learning, but as a requirement.
Time to change your job or find something in your job that translates into passion and purse that.
otherwise you are not really helping yourself or others.
