Scene I of V · The Zone
"The allotted function of art is not, as is often assumed,
to put across ideas, to propagate thoughts, to serve as example.
The aim of art is to prepare a person for death."

About

About

I grew up in a mountain village in Nepal. The kind of place where
time moves differently — not slowly, but sideways.

I build tools where labor economics, climate risk, and causal inference meet.
I write about the Himalayas — what it means to come from a place the world only visits.
