GariKhanaDeu - Yeah I used to do all that and get happy. If you are lucky, you may keep doing that and keep your friends. I've seen some people do that. But life comes fast on you. You have to change jobs, location, etc due to other priorities. You can't expect life to remain the same forever. For all you know you need to move to a different neighborhood or city for your kids education. Work colleagues are just temporary. Friends and family, especially the friends that you make early on in life in school and college stick with u for the rest of your life. Everything else is transient.
Like Meraj put it : "But again all these seem to be helping because it keeps one busy. But at the end of the it doesn’t create right balance what we all need" - Completely agree with u Meraj.
I think most people go through the same thing. Go to college, get a job, buy fancy cars and spend like crazy, but at some point all that changes. Since experience changes you. Makes you a different person.
One thing I keep hearing from a lot of people (and I used to think the same way) is that there aren't enough opportunities in Nepal to go back. But now I want to think in a different way. How can I create opportunity in Nepal. What can I do to employ 5-10-50 people. Can I invest in agriculture, energy, education? Can I help train people with the knowledge that I have here? I mean how can I improve the lives of fellow Nepalese? What are they missing and how can I help them find that. I think that's the question all of us should be asking.
I've seen a couple of friends who have established companies and businesses in Nepal. Some have succeeded and some have failed. But I do commend all of them for trying.
It's not easy in Nepal, especially with politics the way it is and bureaucracy. But it's not easy anywhere. But we can't give up hope. We need to keep trying.
I encourage some of you who are considering to go back to think about the current challenges and how you can solve them. Because once we get the momentum going, many others will follow.
