CEO, it's always been a pleasure reading your analysis. You have a very analytical mind and I enjoy reading your views on various topics. Some of your suggestions are noteworthy and I will be looking into the feasibility of implementing those or some other measures suggested by others here in sajha.

I just wanted to address the issue about public news that you have rightfully brought up. Normally most people or organizations will do a lot to get into media mainstream because it is thier goal to be recognized and they desire to be in that position. As far as sajha is concerned, let's say that sajha is media shy. Well, around 6 years ago, it's really been that long, that I was asked for an interview on Nepal Television. I have a hard time saying no to people because it can be construed negatively, but I think I graciously said no I'm not interested in this publicity. About a year later, another major publication offered an interview which I graciously declined as well.

The reason for me staying away from these interviews is because I don't want sajha to be about me. I want sajha to be about the common Nepalis who find time to come to sajha. I want sajha to be a medium to benefit those Nepalis who need help, or those who need company to pass time when they are bored. I did not intend for sajha to become a vehicle through which I become rich and famous. I'm not after those. If sajha ends up helping me financially then it's all fine and good. If it doesn't then also it's all fine and good. If sajha has helped someone somehow and they pass along that info through words of mouth, I would find that rewarding more than having my interview on some national newspaper or TV.
