Entrepreneurship I

This time I am asking a very difficult and an important question to myself. Being an Electronic Engineer, I have a strong inclination to technology and innovation. But when I look around, in my country(Nepal), I get disappointed. I rarely see innovations happening.

Then a very important question arises- Where are we all heading towards? What are our priorities and how are we planning to achieve them, not as an individual but as a country.

Since my childhood, I have been told that the strength of our country lies in its Agriculture, Water Resources and Tourism. But are we the leaders in the above field? Do we dominate the world in those fields and the answer is NO. Am I asking for these changes too early? I fear that these may be our illusions to keep the hope around. I also use to hear, "Nepal ko dhan Hariyo Ban", which means "Green Forests are the riches of Nepal". But its been ages, that I have not heard it being said. Some how, those riches are lost. Are we sure that these few left strengths will not disappear in the similar fashion.

Every year, thousands of engineers, scientists and doctors graduate from colleges. Where do all of them land in their life? I myself cannot justify my position. Are we all only the job seekers? Are we all machines, waiting to serve? I assume not, so why is there less innovations, and if there are any that I am not aware of it then, where are they? I have myself ,struggled to find one. In a bigger picture, we are lagging in the field of innovations. We do not own any ideas or innovations of which we can be proud of. I was shocked to find out that, we even don't have any rights over some particular vegetation which is so truly ours. I must say but we are losing the right of claiming our identity. Is this where we are heading?

I want to say, some how disappointingly, that I am not proud of The Everest or The Buddha as, these are not our creation. We are just merely lucky to have them. I do not enjoy these jewels of ours, which is put on us so proudly. I want to be proud of what we can create, what we can deliver. I want to own a technology which is so rightfully ours and not others. We need to be proud of what we are doing and not of what we have, nor of what our ancestors did. Do we have the credentials of achieving this. I want to believe that we have ? Call me a dreamer or stupid child, if you can but I want to believe that we can be leaders in technology and innovation.

Good Ad Versus Bad Ad

At InRev , for past few days we have been working on our new project. The project is about collaborative blogging, from the blogger around the world. As Bhupendra and I have been blogging for long time, with his immense experience, our team has been working to revamp the globalthoughtz and create a new blogging experience. In this site, we are planning to add a section where people can add their advertisement. We thought lets start by our own :), with already so many products on the line, it was obvious. So there goes an effort to create a small 128 px by 128 px logo. If you are a designer, you know that designing is a very time consuming process. For hours, you just test around with colors. Remember there are 256 X 256 X 256 combination of colors!! Its hard job selecting one. Lets start with F-Cube : In short F-cube is a Free Economic Reporting Site. Let me exhibit some Ad made for it and its pros and cons. (Please don't click on the image. Wait till the end. Thank You) OK, h...

Bruce Lee

Yes. Bruce Lee . Remember all the punches and kicks in his all time hits movies. But why am I talking about him. Am I going to talk about his movies? No, I am not. I am going to say about his philosophies which have been so many times projected in his fighting styles. By the way, he also wrote a book. Many may not know but he had a unique way of thinking about the life and his art of fighting. Let me put forwards his thinking, in my own words. He believed in efficiency and rejected any amount of redundancy that affected the performance. He believed that there is no one style which is correct. Everyone has their own unique way and must harness those skills rather waste their time in doing something that is not efficient at all. There are many fighting styles carrying their own norms and values. Every style starts by assuming something. But slowly those assumption are taken as a Gospel truth, and people make them into rules which cannot be broken. But, without understanding the key me...

Being an Artist and Being an Entrepreneur is almost similar

Most people flock to big cities to pursue their dreams and struggle for years. Some people succeed but many still find themselves waiting for the opportunities. They consider that opportunity is the biggest thing that can actually leverage their talent or skill. But I believe that it is not always so. There are couple of examples that proves that opportunity along is not everything. Moreover in today’s media hyped world, opportunities are everywhere from a reality TV shows to your own youtube channel, twitter account or facebook profile. If you look around in youtube, there are lots of artists doing great with their skills and scaling them to offline. This gives a lot of encouragement to all those people who want to pursue their passion. But there is a reality beyond pursuing your dreams that everyone considers once in a while. It’s how far you can take yourself with what you have. Most people get stuck on it and lose their passion in mid way, and some people simply cannot go beyon...
