Can LNG gas change Nepal's energy future? What does it take to bring liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Nepal, and could it create new opportunities for industries and businesses? In this episode, we sit down with Sugam Ghimire, entrepreneur, Director at SG Group, and President of the Confederation of Nepalese Industries Youth Entrepreneurs Forum (CNIYEF), to discuss LNG gas in Nepal, energy security, business opportunities, and the challenges of building and scaling a business in the country. Sugam explains what LNG gas is, how it is brought to Nepal, and how its efficiency, cost, and potential applications compare with other energy sources. We explore the risks of LNG, the cost of switching to gas, whether LNG can be used in vehicles, and which industries may or may not benefit from it. We also discuss Nepal's dependence on electricity, the role of government policy, and whether natural gas in Dailekh could become commercially profitable. Beyond energy, Sugam shares his entrepreneurial journey and insights into investing in LNG, running a business, and navigating Nepal's business environment. We discuss the challenges of scaling a company in Nepal, entering a family business as a second-generation entrepreneur, and the lessons aspiring entrepreneurs should understand before starting their own ventures. Can LNG become an important part of Nepal's energy mix? What needs to change for businesses to grow in Nepal?

Is Nepal ready for the next crisis? In this episode, Prem Singh Basnyat, military historian, researcher, and retired Brigadier General, breaks down Nepal's national security, national interests, and the challenges that shape the country's security priorities. What does national security actually mean, and what falls under it? How is national security different from national interest? We explore how Nepal has approached national security over the years, the country's security priorities during the Maoist insurgency, and the national security issues Nepal faces today. The conversation also examines foreign interference in Nepal, the protection of national interests, and whether national security policies are drafted by considering every aspect of the country's security. What should Nepal prioritize to protect its sovereignty, stability, and long-term strategic interests? And what lessons from history can help Nepal prepare for future challenges? Drawing on his experience and knowledge of Nepal's military history, Prem Singh Basnyat offers insights into national security policy, Nepal's geopolitical position, security threats, and the importance of understanding both internal and external challenges. This discussion is relevant to anyone interested in Nepal's defence policy, government priorities, political history, and current affairs. Watch the full conversation to better understand Nepal's national security framework, the legacy of the Maoist insurgency, foreign influence, and the difficult questions surrounding the country's future security.

Is astrology real, or is there a psychological reason horoscope predictions feel so accurate? In this thought-provoking conversation, Bishal Ghimire, an iOS developer and astrologer, joins Dr. Anjela Regmi, a consultant psychiatrist, to explore the fascinating intersection of astrology, psychology, science, and mental health. Bishal shares his perspective on astrology from the unusual position of being an astrologer himself. The discussion explores what real astrology means, how astrological predictions are made, why horoscope readings often feel personally accurate, and whether horoscopes can genuinely predict the future. The conversation also examines why educated people are drawn to astrology and how beliefs about predictions can influence the way people understand their lives. Dr. Anjela Regmi brings a psychiatric perspective to discussions about astrology and mental health, handling patients with mental health conditions, and educating traditional healers. The conversation also touches on autism and the importance of understanding mental health responsibly. How can people protect themselves from fake astrologers and misleading predictions? What makes certain predictions feel convincing, and where should people draw the line between personal belief and professional mental health care? The guests explore these questions while discussing the risks of misinformation and the importance of responsible guidance. The episode also explores AI hallucinations and the challenges of relying on artificial intelligence for information. If you are interested in astrology, horoscope accuracy, astrology versus science, the psychology of belief, autism awareness, psychiatric care, or mental health in Nepal, this conversation offers several perspectives worth considering. Watch the full discussion and share your thoughts: Can astrology explain the future, or does psychology help explain why we believe in it?

The conversation explores how journalism in Nepal has evolved over the years and what it was like reporting during the insurgency period. Kunda discusses press freedom, censorship, journalistic neutrality, and how social media and AI are beginning to influence both politics and journalism. The discussion also moves into climate change in Nepal and whether the climate change narrative can sometimes be misunderstood or misused. Kunda examines the Rasuwa flood, environmental risks, air pollution and its effect on the mountains, deforestation, afforestation, and the growing challenges surrounding sustainable development in Nepal. Can Nepal pursue fast development while still protecting the environment? Has “दिगो विकास” become more of a slogan than an actual development strategy? And how should journalists adapt as AI increasingly changes information, politics, and the media industry? Kunda also shares lessons from his experience in journalism, reflects on Nepal's development priorities, and offers advice to the next generation of journalists.
