Blogosphere rules but envy rules more

Namastey and welcome to Dandyland!

The desired name of my blog was ‘The Poser’ but to my utter disappointment, there was another wannabe out there who beat me to it.

This blog is my attempt to do something worthwhile over the weekends as my weekdays are cosumed by my full time job!

This blog is a result of pure envy. Having been away from Nepal for the past seven years which also were perhaps the most definitive years in Nepal´s modern history, I have very often found myself experiencing sudden pangs of anxiety that probably stem from the fact that I am guilt ridden for not having contributed in any way towards the most important debates taking place in these formative years of a young republic. Specially when I read some great pieces of writing by people I went to primary school with such as the columnist Prashant Jha who writes regular column for Nepali Times, a weekly publication and reports mostly on the Terai Region of Nepal.

Therefore, I have decided to use the blogosphere to be part of the public sphere and of course to appease the green monster.

Anyhow, let the ramblings begin…
