Management is often viewed as a modern discipline—an outcome of industrialization and the rise of global corporations. Yet, the roots of effective management can be traced back thousands of years to ancient spiritual and philosophical texts. Among them, the Bhagavad Gita stands as a timeless guide not only to spiritual enlightenment but also to leadership, decision-making, and organizational success. Composed more than 5,000 years ago, the Gita provides profound insights into human behavior, motivation, and the art of performing one’s duties with wisdom and detachment. The Bhagavad Gita is a dialogue between Lord Krishna and Prince Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra.

Political Instability and Corruption in Nepal: Challenges and the Path Toward Good Governance

In recent years, Nepal’s political landscape has been characterized by persistent instability and rapid change. The adoption of the Constitution of Nepal (2015) marked a major milestone, establishing the country as a federal democratic republic . However, the implementation of this new system has faced numerous challenges due to political disagreements, constitutional ambiguities, and weak institutional coordination.

Yet, internal disputes led to the party’s split in 2020 , resulting in another shift in leadership. The 2021 local elections were considered a key step in strengthening federalism, but allegations of irregularities and political tensions persisted.

My One Year in New Air India

  When I first joined Air India in March 2024, I was optimistic about the changes that Tata Group's acquisition could bring. The shift from legacy Air India to a new, revamped airline seemed promising, and I believed it would be a great opportunity to be part of this transformation. However, as I settled into my role, I began to observe a few realities that were different from my initial expectations. One of the first things I noticed was the effort Tata was making to modernize the airline. New IT portals and systems were introduced to help staff become more tech-savvy and align with the airline's broader vision of growth.

Many staff members were still adjusting to the new systems, and in stations like Kathmandu, where there is self-handling, it was even more challenging to address the needs of over 70 staff members. This created a sense of confusion among the team, as the rapid changes le...
