For @Himalistan , I wrote about our trek to remote, beautiful, and fascinating Makalu-Barun basecamp last autumn--and the burgeoning phenomenon of "Trekking While Nepali." You have to sign in/make an account to read it, but it's free to read.

Being a popular singer doesn’t mean you know urban planning. Being a good scientist doesn’t mean you grasp political science. Being a beloved TV commentator doesn’t mean you understand governance. A bit of humility—and a willingness to consult experts—would really help.🇳🇵

Apropos of nothing: I’m so proud of not being married. Not to brag or anything, but it’s a rare South Asian woman who manages that. I’ve worked very hard not to get married. Of course I’m happy for others who get married if they want to. I’m just so glad I never have. 💃🏽

As a non-white teenager growing up in a racially divided Washington DC, I learned early to recognize white supremacy as a founding principle of the US. It took me years, however, to recognize caste supremacy as one of the founding principles of my own country, Nepal.

Oh lord. Yuck. Nepal brought in this law earlier too, in the late 1990s, I think—it was swiftly challenged, and didn’t last. But its revival shows that the governing class has never stopped fantasising about exerting total control over women.

Nepal hates women. (Not the country, or all of its citizens, but the state). The state hates women. I’ve never regretted burning the 2015 constitution’s unequal citizenship provisions and giving up my citizenship. I encourage other women to do so if it’s an option. Be free.

The 1st woman President of Nepal has refused to fulfil her constitutional duty to endorse a twice-tabled bill on citizenship rights. Her objection is not that it grants too few rights to women as compared to men—which it does—but because it grants women too many rights.

Hello, when someone accuses a friend or family member of sexual misconduct, please don't set out to destroy the accuser's reputation. It takes immense courage to speak out. No one does it casually. Listen respectfully, and if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

“It all began with bears and whores.” — @bbhrikuti & @itisha on the origins of their rocking feminist podcast, @BojuBajai . 30-odd episodes in, they’ve critiqued the Nepali media, society, & The Nepali Man, including the “Jadyaaha Rastrabaadi”—the drunkard nationalist. 💃🏽💃🏽

Nepali society tends to be homosocial: men socialise with men and women with women, the former with 1,000 times more mobility. I genuinely think that male organisers of panels don’t know women well enough to realise they’re just as or more intelligent than men. No excuses, but...

All of Us in Our Own Lives is my first novel to be translated into Nepali—I can’t wait to read Ujjwal Prasai’s translation! (Thank you to Mani Sharma and the team at Sangrila Books.) 🙏🏼

Today I'm deciding on the names of all of the characters in my novel-in-progress. All suggestions are welcome. :-)

Every now and then I come up with a list of seven or eight younger friends whom I'm convinced are @tirimiridai , then I remember that there are lots of witty, astute people in Nepal I don't know at all.
