How wonderful of a conversation is this… a must if you want to learn the process of being Fareed Zakaria.

[David Perell @david_perell]

Fareed Zakaria is one of the world's leading journalists. Maybe you've seen him on CNN. Maybe you've read his books. Or maybe you've read his articles in the Washington Post.

This conversation is a university-level seminar in the craft of writing, which builds upon the thousands of articles Fareed's written over his career. It's a guidepost for anybody who wants to write non-fiction. How do you develop expertise? How should you structure your days? What kinds of deadlines should you set?

We also talked about how The Great Gatsby shaped his perspective on America, when to rely on anecdotes vs. data, and the skills that'll remain scarce as AI breaks through the Turing Test and becomes a hyper-competent writer.

The through-line of Fareed's work is a philosophy of purposeful practice: watching all his TV performances to see how he can improve, reading great writing to absorb what excellence looks like, and using the deadlines of TV and newspaper columns to write consistently.

Upon assuming the office, Hon. Bala Nanda Sharma decided to create an official social media handle of @MofaNepal for public diplomacy.

This handle serves as a digital window, projecting Nepal’s image & promoting its rich natural, cultural, historical & civilisational heritage.

Do not just buy your children what you never had, teach them what you never knew.

One cannot go ahead without the other. It’s time we take responsibility from our respective side.

Hat’s off to @GopalHamal7 for his delivery, followed by his request for responsibility sharing.

[arjun adhikari @arjunadhikarii]

Development demands equal responsibility and ownership sharing between government and people. Reiterating Acemoglu and Robinson, the path to development is a ‘Narrow Corridor’, and disequilibrium between the two results into a slippery slope.
