One of the happiest days of my life was a Spring day in 1990. At the time, I was wrapping up my second year at UWC of the Adriatic and waiting to hear from American colleges and universities I had applied to. A letter from Grinnell College would make my day then!
All about following ones dreams to make life meaningful. In my case, the dream was to get advanced degree in the US and then return to Nepal to help the next generation of children from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which is what I have done.
What matters the most? And with matters of the heart, sometimes tough decisions have to be made as difficult as it might be for it to accept.
The power and privilege of education, the power of compassion & humanity, and how what I am doing now is in line with the UWC mission and values of international understanding and world peace.
How and why I achieved academic, personal and professional success in spite of the circumstances and context of my birth, lessons I have learned, why I do what I do back in Nepal, and what I hope students like them do with, and in, their lives.

About life, following dreams, the beauty and power of humanity, and what I am doing with my life to make it meaningful.
I return to the vibrant Dragon city for the first time since the last time I lived there 18 years ago. While the city--some images of which were formulated by martial art movies I had grown up with--did not disappoint in the mid-nineties, I am curious to see what it is like now.
