Guys, I don't see why it is a problem that

(1) A man is doing his business rather than doing a Nokari.
Now if this journalist has reported that in his business, there are tons of business related problems, I would think there is a problem. But the journalist is implying that doing a business somehow is a demeaning thing. I have a few friends who used to sell khasa stuff 20 years ago, and now they are making more than what I make here, and in fact, one is investing his money in a factory near my home. It takes time to be rich, but he can use his analytical power to be successful in business.
(2) That he didn't get Lok Sewa job.
There are tons of problems in Nepal, but Lok Sewa is supposed to be fair and is probably as fair as it gets. So, if he had managed his time properly when studying MA, he could have prepared for Lok Sewa while studying MA. But he obviously didn't do so.

He erroneously assumed that he would automatically get a job if he is ranked among topper in the class. I don't know much about political science education in Nepal, but he should have known better about his prospect when he was in the department.

Since cream always rises to the top, if he is smart, he will do well in his business. 

I have problem with this poster , however, because he thinks he is ashamed of being a Nepali because this man is selling stuff in footpath. I don't see why the poster should be ashamed of being a Nepali. I can feel bad that our employment situation is not as good as I hope it would be, but on the other hand, I am glad that there seems to be very few trade restrictions in starting small business in Nepal. Have you tried selling something in USA? Even to sell a pumpkin roadside, a man has to get a license from municipality and pay some money upfront.
