Exotic-nepal.Com has been online since what could count as time eternity. I started this website as a hobby. Back then, the aimless, counter-productive kid that I was, I was more interested in the design and deployment of this website than in offering viewers good, worth-reading content. Now that I have grown up into a man (pretty much), I realise how much I could achieve through this website. Notwithstading the fact that there are thousands, maybe even tens of thousands of websites out there in this vast expanse of the internet, I have yet again set about to promote my beautiful, exotic country to foreigners and locals alike. While such and such sites definitely exist, at their cores lie biased, partial information. Most are online to advertise their own travel agency, or hotel, or product in the veiled guise of nationalist spirit. While it is indeed true that the first primal desire of humans is to survive, by doing what’s best for themselves, and only them, I have set about on a noble mission to present impartial facts about Nepal to viewers. Why the renewed interest in something as stagnant as Exotic-Nepal.Com, you might ask. The basic reason why I stopped working in, and for, the website is because I did not have enough time in my hands. School-work, academics and extra-curriculars consumed almost all of my energy and left me with nothing but tiredness. Eventually I indulged in new interests, newer hobbies, and larger, material ideas. And now, I have not only graduated from high school, but after a gap year, have ended up in perhaps the most prestigious small New England school. Time is still very sparse, but if there is anything my freshman year has taught me, it is that one must balance the intense college workload with what one loves doing. And this is what I love doing: promoting my nation. Perhaps because it was an outlet for the nationalist sentiments lurking inside me(or any other Nepalese for that matter, I can assure you), or perhaps it was the sheer number of New Englanders I have met who have not even heard of my beautiful country, I found myself thinking about my old website quite so often. And now I have returned to a project which I probably started in Grade 8, and since left to be remembered as extant by some (read me) while defunct by others. All I wish to do, is to provide viewers with better and better sources of information about Nepal. Time is definitely more than scarce, so I plan to seek out help from others, with their respective permissions of course.
So much for this wild, pointless rant. All I want to say is that through this blog, I seek to compile good, and perhaps the very best, unbiased, impartial views on tourism in Nepal. At times, if time permits, I also do intend to spill out my own thoughts. So, until the first (or second, depending on your relative frame of reference), au revoir, my friend.
