Starting up new business with big investment is a big No No at this time becuz of all the unnecessary attractions it will bring to the thugs and contortion mafias ( who knows if they are genuine maoist or not!). however, if u have made up yr mind to return consider some creative ways to set up yr business...for example you could set up small scale training centers all over the town...say 2 each in KTM, BKT and Patan...so that you diversify the risk and maintain low profile. You could then extend across other major towns of Nepal later on if you succeed in the valley...or u could start from outside the KTM valley and make your way in (even better idea). If any maoist sense your operation and come behind you for money tell them you wil instead take some of their cadres and train them free or at a discount (but you have to first convince the ring leader that such education will help them in the long run....)... There are thousands of people doing such type of business and surviving the current political turmoil...if they can do it surely you could. Some of must like yourself must return otherwise how would the country rely on those cowboys to run it..go man..go back and give back to your country...ama nepal will be proud of you!!! jai Nepal
