Procrastination For Self-styled Progress : May 2012
Procrastination for Self-styled Progress Nepal not only has contests for Miss Nepal or Miss Teen but also contests on such unique themes as ‘procrastination for progress’. Government gives so many holidays, employees enjoy taking more leaves than working days in a year and people of different hues incessantly organize innumerable bandhs and blockades not sparing a single nook of the country. These all are indeed the tactics of procrastination and sure sign of ensuring our progress. The race is apparently on to become Nepal's biggest procrastinator.

Singing The Corporate Tune : April 2012
The corporates speak differently, thus they are the corporates. The corporate world, both in and out of Nepal loves to use words and phrases that any common man is likely to perceive the meaning completely different than intended. This “paradigm shift” in communication surely creates a true corporate environment. Nowadays you don’t “use” something. You “leverage” it. If you need anything, don’t “request,” “ask for” or “order” it,,just go for “requisition”. And don’t address the buyers of your product or services as “consumers, customers”, “clients” or “users”. Call them “stakeholders” or “partners”.

Enroute To Economic Revival : March 2012
There is a never-ending stream of news in Nepali media that unequivocally establish that Nepali Economy is indeed on the fast track of betterment. The best among all these is:”Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai is going on a month-long vacation.” Reason? The economy perhaps can’t bear so much of “good ‘n’ good”. “The government recently announced that the bad time for the economy ended as soon as Baburam became the Prime Minister!” The past six months of job layoffs, corporate lockouts and declining stocks, are no doubts good times for the government. Nepali media is full of other similar good news. Please find them with my friendly notes. News: “Bhattarai government’s recently announced policy and programs will create 2.5 million new jobs.”
