…and the wait continues to start on the new job (the actual wait is for the permit to travel to the country where the job is!).
In the meantime I’m working in Nepal – couldn’t get SPSS for my number-crunching job so got and learnt STATA (still learning actually), and becoming fairly comfortable with it! Yet to write of the crunched numbers 
Most importantly got time to read (still too lazy to write much though!) and have finished a few good books 
Just finished Michel Peissel’s Tiger for Breakfast, and currently reading Solo by Rana Dasgupta (pic below).
Oh, did I mention I got married recently?!? Life’s well so far
Not many people know I’m back in Nepal, and I doubt this post will add more than a couple to that number. I think of lots of things to write every day as I come back from my day out in Kathmandu but I find myself too tired to do so. Plus hours of loadshedding (power cuts) every day doesn’t help as we need to be awake at very odd hours to use internet most of the time! Anyway, I just wanted to let know those few who follow me
through this blog what I’m up to here in my hometown.
1. I’m here because I’m in between jobs.
2. I plan to start my work remotely to begin with from here, hopefully from next week (after Nepali New Year)
3. In the meantime, I’m keeping low profile by going to quite high-profile football matches (see an evidence below – a lot more of the pictures here)
4. I’m also spending my time while I’m in the village (village only in name really – it has changed beyond recognition in recent years, definitely not the village I first left in 1999) by taking some macro snaps in the backyard – almost my favourite passtime – at least keeps me occupied when I’m not in the mood to read or write! (another evidence below – much more here)
…and that’s pretty much it thus far. Even if I don’t write here, I’ll be tweeting HERE. And will be uploading pictures whenever I can HERE.
So long…
note: just as I was ready to publish this post power cut struck again, so I’m finishing this from my mobile. hope this comes through fine.
This is my first post here using Wordmobi, a wordpress blogging tool for symbian mobiles. Actually I might have published a few posts before but that must have been a long while ago. Anyway the main purpose of this post is just to show @nahsrad that this actually works :p

After spending years since leaving Nepal more than 11 years ago not really celebrating dashain, the Nepali festival that celebrates the victory of good over evil, now I’ve started looking forward to it every year. It gives me a very good excuse to visit my sister, and my two little neices. Despite being only a few hours away, the nature and pace of life in these parts of the world means I hardly get the time to see them much. Even the daily phonecalls can’t really make up for being with them in person. This year’s added bonus was that the main day of dashain fell on Sunday, so I had a great family weekend without having to worry about work, emails to respond to or deadlines to meet or to avoid missing.
Now on the Monday morning I’m hurrying back to home, and to work, experiencing my first ever “commute”, which I’m not liking at all. Living at a walking distance to work is certainly the best thing, sometimes I even go home for lunch from work
Finding it hard now to write much from a phone on a moving train so I’ll stop here. The image above is the ‘nelson’s ship in a bottle’ on the Trafalgar square’s fourth plinth.
Well, I’m planning to write a review/user experience of sorts a bit later on my first ever Android phone, HTC desire but for the moment I thought I should try out the WordPress app on my phone. It’s a bit of a pain typing anything long on the phone but I must say I’m finding my HTC desire much eas
ier than my ipod touch. The suggestion feature works well too. Besides I’m not going to make it much longer. Also I couldn’t be bothered to go to length to get a screenshot (needs you to install sdk on a computer and get screenshot from there!), so this post is now done
So here it is, my first blog post from an Android phone. Just to put an image on the post, I’m uploading a picture taken using the phone
