I remember that year—it was 2009 when I first signed up for Facebook. Then, making random posts, comments, and tags, to having around 10 social profiles, didn't just happen overnight. It was fun to learn and grow with time.
In the last 19 years, I have used 3 feature phones ☎️ and 5 smartphones 📱, and created emails in Yahoo, Hotmail, and Gmail, which was an unexpected shift for me.
Now, I am lecturing on social media analytics, learning a lot about search engines and their algorithms, sharing insights on social media, and also pinpointing the importance of such platforms for small-to-multi-national companies to create brand value and expand their market presence.
Now that AI is embedded in their algorithms, the issue of #data_governance stands at the top of any country’s laws. DATA has become more popular, powerful, and influential for everyone involved in local-to-national-to-regional-to-global platforms.
I am overwhelmed with the scale of its existence and expansion. I feel like I am living in history. With my grandkids, I can share these stories non-stop for hours and hours, and they will listen to us with jaw-dropping amazement 🥳.
It's loud and clear that the new scope of opportunity is being a Social Media Analyst. However, what I enjoy most in the job is taking selfies with my students. They are future social media analysts 🎉.

Note: There is T+2 settlement. This occurs on the second business day after the trade takes place. Need to make sure, there is fund by the day of the settlement in CDIA
Remark: I am not a stock adviser. I am sharing all these infomration based on what I have learnt so far.

| Democracy & Trust | Authoritarian | Open democracy | India |
| Infrastructure | Mega projects | Catching up | China |
China will likely remain ahead in total GDP, military power, and industrial scale
India will be younger, more democratic, globally trusted, and a dynamic innovation partner
By 2050, the world may see:
China as a strong industrial & tech superpower
India as a trusted democratic counterbalance, especially in the Global South
🔹 China will remain more powerful in numbers and scale.
🔹 India will be more influential in ideas, values, and human capital.
As of now (2025), the USA is the world's #1 superpower.
However, China is rising rapidly and challenging America.Let’s break down future projections across key areas to see who will likely lead the world by 2050.
| Metric | China (2050) | USA (2050) |
|---|---|---|
| Projected Pop. | ~1.3 billion (↓) | ~380 million (↑) |
| Median Age | ~50 years | ~42 years |
China's population will decline due to low birth rate and aging crisis.
USA’s population will grow, fueled by immigration and higher birth rates.
A younger population means more labor supply, innovation, and consumer activity.
✅ Advantage: USA
| Metric | China (2050) | USA (2050) |
|---|---|---|
| Projected GDP | $40–50 trillion (PPP-based) | $35–45 trillion |
| Global Rank | Likely #1 in PPP | Likely #2 in nominal GDP |
China may surpass the USA in size (PPP terms) but not in per capita income.
USA will remain wealthier per person, and dominate financial systems (USD, Wall Street).
🟰 Tied: China in size, USA in wealth & stability
China is investing aggressively in:
AI, quantum computing, semiconductors, 5G/6G
Tech giants (Huawei, Tencent, BYD) are going global.
USA still leads in:
Software, semiconductors, space tech, R&D culture
Companies like Google, Apple, Tesla, NVIDIA dominate.
🎯 Key: China will catch up in hardware & AI, but USA may retain software + creative edge

|---|---|---|
| Spending | ~$700B+ (est.) | ~$1 trillion (est.) |
| Global Bases | Dozens (future expansion) | 750+ worldwide |
| Nuclear Arsenal | Catching up | Still largest & modernized |
USA will likely retain global dominance in power projection.
China will become the #1 power in Asia-Pacific, but still behind in global reach.
✅ Advantage: USA
USA leads NATO, G7, QUAD, AUKUS, and has strong allies (Europe, Japan, India, Australia).
China is leading BRICS, SCO, and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), influencing Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
🟰 Tie in spheres of influence — West vs Global South
China has:
Own space station (Tiangong), Mars rover, Moon base plans
USA leads with:
NASA, SpaceX, private space economy, deep-space missions
✅ Advantage: USA, unless China overtakes in Moon/Mars race
USA controls:
USD (world’s reserve currency), SWIFT, IMF, World Bank
China promotes alternatives:
Digital Yuan, BRICS Bank, yuan-based trade
Unless there is a major global shift, USD dominance is likely to remain.
✅ Advantage: USA
USA exports culture: Hollywood, NBA, music, fashion, universities (Harvard, Stanford).
China struggles with global image due to censorship, authoritarianism, and propaganda perceptions.
✅ Advantage: USA

Madhav Kumar Nepal was formally charged by the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) in June 2025 for his role in the Patanjali land scam. During his premiership, the government transferred over 100 ropanis of land to Patanjali Yogpeeth in Bara district, which was later resold, causing a state loss of over Rs. 185 million. The CIAA stated the cabinet decision violated Article 66 of the Corruption Prevention Act.
Additionally, Nepal has been implicated in the Lalita Niwas land grab case, where government land was fraudulently transferred to private hands. The Supreme Court ordered prosecution against both Madhav Nepal and Baburam Bhattarai.
Sources: Kathmandu Post, June 5, 2025, The Diplomat, June 2025 and Ekantipur, February 14, 2025 (Nepali)
Bhattarai has been named in the same Lalita Niwas land scam. His cabinet, during his premiership, approved decisions that facilitated illegal land transfers to powerful individuals in Baluwatar. Though he has maintained the decisions were legal and collective, the Supreme Court in 2024 found grounds for further investigation and prosecution.
In 2005, the Royal Commission for Control of Corruption (RCCC) convicted Sher Bahadur Deuba for abuse of authority and financial irregularities in the Melamchi Water Supply Project, sentencing him to jail. However, the RCCC was later declared unconstitutional, and the conviction was annulled. He has also been accused of mismanagement in aircraft procurement, cooperative funds, and favoring close allies in fuel import deals, though formal charges were never pursued.
K.P. Oli’s cabinet was involved in the controversial Giri Bandhu Tea Estate land swap. The cabinet changed land-use policy to allow private individuals to claim state land that had been under public trust. The Supreme Court in July 2024 invalidated this decision, calling it a misuse of power for private gain.
After the 2006 Comprehensive Peace Accord, roughly 19,602 Maoist combatants were housed in cantonments with monthly allowances of NPR 5,000 until integration or retirement. Allegations arose that Maoist leaders—including Prachanda—inflated fighter numbers (e.g., stating 35,000 instead of 7,000, later “verifying” 20,000) and thus siphoned off funds through non-existent or ghost combatant. This led to the misuse of billions of rupees through fake fighters. A complaint was filed in 2024, but no strong investigation has taken place yet. Prachanda denied the charges and said he is ready to go to jail if proven guilty. The case shows how corruption and lack of accountability remain big problems in Nepal’s politics..
नेपालका भीडभाड भएका शहरहरू जहाँ हरेक कुनामा साना–साना व्यवसायहरू देखिन्छन् र अस्ट्रेलियाका शहरहरू जहाँ ठूलो मात्रामा सीमित पसलहरू छन्, यस्ता भिन्नता देख्दा हामी सोच्न सक्छौं — आखिर किन अस्ट्रेलिया विकसित देश हो भने नेपाल विकासोन्मुख? दुबै देशमा जनसंख्या र बजारको फरक अवस्था के हो? यी कुराहरू बुझ्नका लागि हामीले धेरै आयामहरूमा चर्चा गर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ।
नेपालका शहरहरू विशेष गरेर काठमाडौं, पोखरा, भरतपुर जस्ता शहरहरू निकै भीडभाड छन्। यहाँ जताततै साना पसल, चिया पसल, मोबाइल रिफ्युलिङ पसल, लुगा स–साना व्यापारीहरू छन्। एउटा गलीमा १० भन्दा बढी पसल पाउन सकिन्छ। साना व्यवसायहरूले थुप्रै मानिसलाई रोजगारी दिन्छन्। तर यी व्यवसायहरू प्रायः पारिवारिक वा साना स्तरका हुन्छन्। उदाहरणको लागि, काठमाडौंको भोटाहिटी, इन्द्रचोक, नयाँ बजार क्षेत्रहरूमा विभिन्न साना साना पसलहरू छन् जहाँ ग्राहकहरू दैनिक उपभोग्य वस्तु किन्छन्।
तर, यी साना व्यवसायहरूको समन्वय र व्यवस्थित योजना नहुँदा, सडकमा अव्यवस्था बढ्छ। यातायात जाम, ढिलाइ, र सेवा स्तरमा कमी आउँछ। धेरै पसलहरूले प्रतिस्पर्धा गर्दा मूल्य नियन्त्रण गाह्रो हुन्छ र व्यवसायिक प्रविधिको कमीका कारण विस्तार र समृद्धिमा बाधा पुग्छ।
अस्ट्रेलियामा भने सहरहरूमा साना पसलहरू त सीमित छन्, तर ठूलो स्तरमा व्यवस्थित शपिङ सेन्टर, सुपरमार्केट र ब्राण्डेड पसलहरू छन्। उदाहरणका लागि, सिड्नी वा मेलबर्नमा ‘Westfield’ जस्ता विशाल शपिङ सेन्टरहरू छन् जहाँ सबै किसिमका सामानहरू एकै स्थानमा उपलब्ध हुन्छन्। यहाँ एउटा सुपरमार्केटमा हजारौं सामानहरू सजिलै पाइन्छन्, र ग्राहकलाई सामान खोज्न सजिलो हुन्छ।
यसले बजारलाई व्यवस्थित बनाउँछ, यातायात सहज हुन्छ र व्यवसायले ठूलो उत्पादनशक्ति र सेवा गुणस्तर कायम गर्न सक्छ। साथै, अस्ट्रेलियाका साना व्यवसायहरूलाई शपिङ सेन्टरहरूले सहकार्यका लागि स्थान दिन्छन् जसले उनीहरूलाई व्यापक ग्राहकसम्म पुग्न मद्दत गर्दछ।
अस्ट्रेलियाले आफ्नो शहर र बजार व्यवस्थापनमा लामो समयदेखि ठूलो लगानी गरेको छ। सडक, यातायात, बिजुली, इन्टरनेट जस्ता पूर्वाधारहरू दिगो र गुणस्तरीय छन्। उदाहरणका लागि, मेलबर्नको ‘City Loop’ ट्रेन प्रणाली र ‘Myki’ स्मार्ट कार्डले सार्वजनिक यातायातलाई सहज बनाएको छ।
नेपालमा भने पूर्वाधार कमजोर छ। सडक सञ्जाल अव्यवस्थित, ट्राफिक जाम र विजुली संकट प्रायः हुन्छ। उदाहरणका लागि, काठमाडौंको बालाजु क्षेत्रका व्यवसायहरूमा बिजुलीको अनियमितता र सडक अवरुद्ध हुने समस्याले व्यापारमा असर पुर्याउँछ।
अस्ट्रेलियाका व्यवसायहरूमा प्रविधिको व्यापक प्रयोग छ। स्वचालित क्यासियर, अनलाइन अर्डरिङ र वितरण प्रणालीले ग्राहक अनुभव सुधार गरेको छ। साना व्यवसायहरू पनि डिजिटल मार्केटिङ र अनलाइन भुक्तानी प्रयोग गर्छन्।
नेपालमा भने धेरै व्यवसाय अझै पारम्परिक तरिकाले सञ्चालन हुन्छन्। डिजिटल भुक्तानीको पहुँच कम छ र व्यवसाय विस्तारमा कठिनाइ छ। उदाहरणका लागि, काठमाडौंको बजारमा मोबाइल भुक्तानी गर्दै गर्दा प्रायः नेटवर्क समस्या आउँछ जसले ग्राहक असन्तुष्ट बनाउँछ।
अस्ट्रेलियामा उच्च शिक्षित जनशक्ति व्यवसायमा लाग्छन्। तिनले नयाँ सोच, व्यवस्थापन र प्रविधि अपनाउँछन्। नेपालमा भने शिक्षा प्रणाली अझै सुधारको प्रक्रियामा छ। दक्ष जनशक्तिको अभावले व्यवसायलाई प्रवर्धन र प्रतिस्पर्धामा बाधा पुर्याउँछ।
अस्ट्रेलियामा बैंक र वित्तीय संस्थाहरू व्यवस्थित छन् जसले साना व्यवसायलाई सजिलो ऋण सुविधा दिन्छ। यसले व्यवसाय विस्तार र नवप्रवर्तनमा मद्दत गर्छ। नेपालमा भने बैंकिङ प्रणालीमा कठिनाइ छ। साना व्यवसायहरूलाई ऋण उपलब्ध गराउन धेरै प्रक्रिया र ब्याजदर उच्च हुन्छ।
नेपालको चिया पसल व्यवसाय: काठमाडौंका विभिन्न स्थानहरूमा साना चिया पसलहरू छन्। यी व्यवसायले स्थानीय स्तरमा रोजगारी दिन्छन् तर ती व्यवसायहरूमा प्रतिस्पर्धा अत्यधिक छ र मार्केटिङ वा प्रविधिको अभावले विस्तार गर्न गाह्रो हुन्छ।
अस्ट्रेलियाको ‘Coles’ सुपरमार्केट: Coles जस्ता ठूलो सुपरमार्केटहरूले सम्पूर्ण क्याम्पस र उपत्यकालाई सेवा दिन्छन्। तिनीहरूले आपूर्तिकर्तासँग सहकार्य गरी सबै वस्तुहरू उचित मूल्यमा उपलब्ध गराउँछन् र ग्राहकलाई सुविधा दिन्छन्।
नेपालको मोबाइल रिफ्युलिङ पसलहरू: साना साना मोबाइल रिफ्युलिङ पसलहरू शहरभरि छन्, तर तिनको व्यवस्थापन असंरचित छ। ग्राहकले बारम्बार ‘नेटवर्क समस्या’ वा ‘रिचार्जमा छुट नपाउनु’ जस्ता समस्या भोग्छन्।
अस्ट्रेलियाको डिजिटल भुक्तानी प्रणाली: अस्ट्रेलियामा साना क्याफे र पसलहरूले ‘Apple Pay’, ‘Google Pay’ जस्ता डिजिटल भुक्तानी सहज रूपमा स्वीकार्छन्, जसले ग्राहकलाई सहजता र व्यवसायलाई छिटो कारोबार गर्न मद्दत गर्दछ।
शहर योजना र पूर्वाधार सुधार: व्यवस्थित सडक, बिजुली र यातायात व्यवस्थापनले व्यवसायलाई सहज बनाउँछ।
प्रविधिको उपयोग र डिजिटलकरण: साना व्यवसायहरूलाई अनलाइन भुक्तानी, डिजिटल मार्केटिङ र डाटा व्यवस्थापनमा लगानी गर्न प्रोत्साहित गर्नुपर्छ।
शिक्षा र तालिम: दक्ष जनशक्ति उत्पादन गर्न व्यावसायिक शिक्षा र तालिममा जोड दिनुपर्छ।
वित्तीय पहुँच सुधार: साना व्यवसायहरूलाई सजिलो ऋण र वित्तीय सेवा दिन बैंक र वित्तीय संस्थाहरूलाई सक्षम बनाउनुपर्छ।
नेपालका भीडभाड भएका साना व्यवसायहरू देशको आर्थिक आधार हुन्। तर तिनीहरूलाई व्यवस्थित, प्रविधिमैत्री र सक्षम बनाउनु आवश्यक छ। अस्ट्रेलियाको विकसित अर्थतन्त्रले देखाउँछ कि व्यवस्थित बजार संरचना, प्रविधिको उपयोग, दक्ष जनशक्ति र राम्रो पूर्वाधार विकासमा मुख्य भूमिका खेल्छन्।
नेपालले यी पक्षहरू सुधार्दा आफ्नो विकासलाई छिटो गति दिन सक्छ। यसका लागि सरकार, निजी क्षेत्र र नागरिक समाजबीच समन्वय आवश्यक छ। सफल व्यवसायहरू निर्माण गर्न डिजिटल प्रविधि अपनाउने, बजार व्यवस्थापन गर्ने र लगानीलाई प्रोत्साहित गर्ने दिशा खुल्ला राख्नुपर्छ।
नेपालका व्यापारी र नीति निर्माता सबै मिलेर यस्तो वातावरण सिर्जना गर्न सक्ने विश्वासका साथ — सफल र समृद्ध नेपाल हाम्रो साझा सपना हो।
