Nepal's Prime Minister Delivers a Stark Climate Warning to the World

Nepal's Prime Minister Delivers a Stark Climate Warning to the World Global Affairs · Climate Nepal's Prime Minister Delivers a Stark Climate Warning to the World When a Himalayan nation speaks at the UN, the world should listen. At the United Nations General Assembly this year, Nepal's Prime Minister Balendra "Balen" Shah did something few world leaders manage to do at that podium: he made the abstract concrete. Instead of reciting diplomatic talking points about sustainable development goals and multilateral cooperation, he opened with an admission that stopped the room — he wished he could talk about progress, democracy, and peace, but instead he had come to talk about death and destruction on an epic scale. It was not rhetorical flourish. Four weeks before he stepped up to that podium, flash floods tore through Nepal's mountain communities in an event many Nepalis have started calling the "Himalayan tsunami." Families a...

The Bhagavad Gita: Ancient Words That Can Heal a Modern, Anxious Mind

The Bhagavad Gita: Ancient Words That Can Heal a Modern, Anxious Mind The Bhagavad Gita: Ancient Words That Can Heal a Modern, Anxious Mind Why a 5,000-year-old conversation on a battlefield still helps people cope with today's chaos Picture this: you're standing at the edge of the biggest decision of your life. Your hands are shaking. Everything you know is on the line. And instead of running, instead of freezing, you sit down and have an honest conversation about fear, duty, purpose, and peace. That's the setting of the Bhagavad Gita — one of the most quietly powerful texts ever written. It's not a distant religious lecture. It's a real-time emotional breakdown followed by real-time healing. A warrior named Arjuna, moments before a massive battle, suddenly can't move. His body goes numb. His mind spirals. He tells his charioteer, Krishna, that he simply cannot go through with it. Sound familiar? Swap "battlefield" for "job inter...

What Is the "Secondary Market"?

Once a company lists, its shares move between investors every trading day, and prices go up or down based on demand.

NEPSE in 2026 — A Rollercoaster Year, and What the Numbers Are Really Saying

How Global Oil Tensions Are Quietly Hitting Your Wallet (And Nepal's Stock Market) If you've been following the news lately, you've probably heard about the tension between Iran and the US. It might seem like something happening far away that doesn't touch Nepal at all. But here's the truth: when oil-producing regions get unstable, the effects travel all the way to your local petrol pump — and even to the NEPSE trading floor. Let's break this down in simple terms. Why Does Iran Affect Nepal's Fuel Prices? Nepal doesn't produce its own oil. Every drop of petrol, diesel, and kerosene used in the country is imported — mainly through the Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), which supplies the Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC). Because Nepal buys fuel from India, and India buys crude oil from the global market, any shock in global oil prices eventually shows up in NOC's pricing sheet. Iran is one of the world's biggest oil producers and sits right next to ...
