Questions about the media in Kathmandu and difficult questions for my fellow Nepalese...at this difficult time.
‘This company doesn’t consider a human being a human being’
The music video of a Nepalese song featuring the interview of a migrant worker brought back memories of my trip to Janakpur with my mate Pete, a journalist for the Guardian. The video was produced by Pete and I had been involved in the interview. The reason so many Madhesis go abroad and are protesting is partly because they have very few opportunities.

Kathmandu: Driving and Parking Nepal
Could it be because we, Kathmandu drivers, are so bad, hilarious and sad at driving and parking and honking that we are so bad at driving issues, and parking on sides of issues, that matter to us and we are as bad calling out those who should be called out? I think so.
It's time that we held our leaders, our government, driving our country backwards and parking our country where they personally benefit from, accountable to us. Kathmanduites, side with the the rest of the population and honk at the leaders prodding them to steer the country in the direction that benefits us all, not just them.
