I recently had a conversation with local entrepreneur. I was very impressed by his patriotism and his sense of responsibility towards his community. He is a very successful businessman and own several businesses. And he is very aware of his responsibilities towards his community. He always prefers to employ people from his community, so that families from his community can prosper. He has invested quite a lot of money for the benefit of community.

And then I compared myself to him. I am here in US and trying to get better degree, to get good job and to settle here. I don't have concern towards my community and country where I grew up. All I care is money, my career and my family. I had never thought about the difference I can make if I go back to Nepal. Although I can send thousands of dollars to family if I get decent job here. But that's not what Nepal need right now. Nepal needs talents and entrepreneurs who will help to establish strong foundation.

Nepal is facing serious brain drain and lack of youth force. Top talents never think about going back to Nepal. Those who are in Nepal are not aware of the globalization and technological advancement, and they don't have the edge to the graduates from America or other countries. It’s time for all of us, who are studying abroad, to think about how we can contribute to our community and the country.
