Back to Teaching…But Teachers This Time
I am back..into teaching. This time teaching teachers in Nepal instead of international students abroad.

UWC Scholarships: Stories of Hopes and Dreams Realized
From the late nineties, I have always wished that Nepal UWC committee would be able to send children from poor and/or marginalized backgrounds.

How I Dealt With My Little Nephew’s Temper Tantrums
When a baby or toddler throws a temper tantrum, the easiest way to deal with it is to divert their attention to something else by talking to the child. It could be about something you see in the sky or nearby or it could be about the music you just started playing etc. The very very short attention span of such children means that they will readily and easily refocus their attention to a new stimulus from what they are fixated on when they are throwing the tantrum.

Succeeding in doing so and spending most of my adult life abroad, I practically ensured I would have even less social capital when I finally returned home! #LifeEh!
