I finally found someone talking about parenting and and how lightly we take it...absolutely loved it because i too believe GOOD PARENTING HEALS THE MOTHER EARTH AND EVERYTHING LITERALLY EVERYTHING STARTS WITH IT and schooling as well, in todays context as we are sending children school after 3,4 years...its really a serious issue. Would love to see if you make podcast on the topic of PARENTING...please......and it would be injustice to the word TEACHER to call most of the so called "teacher" a teacher...WORST WORST WORST...

[@nirajankhadka0123]

Ajay sir is very passionate about improving school education!

[@rajendra-2023]

Whoever has reached the higher level of Maslow's Hierarchy he says that "Money does not matter, it's about society who need to be served." But why politician cannot do that? It's because he is surrounded by his Allys, members, family, friends who do not let him reach the level and they lack "gyan" or enlightenment and not knowledge. And the value system is ingrained in the Nepalese society to give respect the elite group who have power and disrespecting who works and struggles.

It's all about power and money
