All this happened despite the fact that all outstanding projects promised by Modi-1 and Modi-2 are pending or badly behind schedule, and despite no relief forthcoming to Nepal on many Nepal-India issues including border inundation, demonetization loot and harassment of travelers.

What is disheartening is the sharp rise in the number of kidney failure cases. Many require dialysis for life or even kidney transplants. Many such Nepalis have worked in the Gulf. Perhaps a number of them, fortunate not to die there in work or traffic accidents, come back with kidney damage as a result of the extreme heat and very limited daily water intake in the extreme hot conditions of the Middle East.

As the male god may get jealous of these woman being involved with another man, the religion itself justifies Mati work for them. This kind of religious explanation is also important as it is an alternative to the hegemonic western definition of homosexuality that we assume is absolute.

The use of the Kosi canal for navigation instead of the natural river course would allow Nepal to develop this very important waterway on a par with the waterways that exist in Europe and America that would be suitable for operation of river/sea vessels.

A mid-way involving concession from both sides will have to be worked out if the idea is to save the party from further degradation. Deuba will have to appreciate the demand of the changing time, while those wishing to see him out at the earliest should not forget that he is the strongman of the party till date and can afford to take negative remarks about him as nothing more than tantrums of the disgruntled leaders.

Your reputation as an inclusive, women-friendly employer won’t go far these days without offering a highly sought-after benefit of flexibility. For women, flexibility has proven to correlate to higher levels of ambition, and flexibility helps employers, too. Studies have shown that flexible workers are happier, more productive, and less likely to burn out, leading to lower turnover rates.

The Government led the LAPA formulation process with support from DFID in generating ideas, conceptualising and piloting the LAPA framework. Implementation of the NCCSP in 14 districts with support from DFID and EU proved that LAPA works well.

It would not be practical to use the channel of our main rivers for the development of large scale navigation because of steep gradient and heavy withdrawal of water for irrigation throughout the lengthy non-monsoon season rendering a long stretch of the river downstream already built barrages virtually dry. However, we can follow the example of the Switzerland, where a multi-purpose canal has been built to develop inland navigation in upper reach of the Rheine river, which is not suitable for the development of commercially viable large scale navigation.

The perfectionism I know makes me believe I’ll never be ‘good enough’. It makes me believe that there’s always something more. More I should be doing. More I should be thinking. More I should be saying and more I should be achieving.
