This is the activity where I grow my mo solo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Returning to Nepal in 2013, I tried to get my Xaverian classmates involved. But far from getting any takers, <a href=\"https:\/\/dorjegurung.com\/blog\/2014\/11\/movember-2014-growing-solo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">not a single friend even responded<\/a> to the PM I sent out about the idea. So, from 2014, I have been growing solo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If interested in a short history of Movember (or Grovember as it might be called in some places)&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/us.movember.com\/about\/history\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click here<\/a>.

And at the end of the month, the idea is that you donate some funds to a charity, which I was not able to do that <a href=\"https:\/\/dorjegurung.com\/blog\/2017\/11\/movember-2017-growing-solo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">last year<\/a>. (Yes, there&#8217;s a story and you&#8217;ll have to follow the link to read it. \ud83d\ude00 \ud83d\ude00 ) I&#8217;m just going to wait and see how it pans out this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you doing Movember?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">November 18 update<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>What the mo looks like now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/dorjegurung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/movember-2018-II.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dorjegurung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/movember-2018-II.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.dorjegurung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/movember-2018-II-500x303.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.dorjegurung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/movember-2018-II-150x91.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About November, mo, men\u2019s health and possibly charity.
