7 September 2026 Nepal
Right now, in Nepal, we are facing something I have never faced before.
Not one rescue — but multiple potential rescues, unfolding at the same time, in different places, each with its own dangers, uncertainties and lives that may still be saved.
It has made me think about Silkyara.
There, 41 men were underground and we had one seemingly impossible task: bring them home alive.
We passed that test together.
But perhaps passing one great test does not mean the testing is over.
Perhaps sometimes it means we are being entrusted with a greater one.
Western traditions might call this duty: we do what is right because it is our responsibility, even when success is uncertain.
Asian traditions offer another powerful idea: dharma. The test is not simply whether we succeed. It is whether we continue to do what is right when the path becomes harder, the responsibilities multiply, and the outcome cannot be known.
Silkyara taught me never to confuse unlikely with impossible.
Nepal is teaching me something more: when several lives may depend upon us at once, hope must become discipline, compassion must become action, and duty cannot depend upon certainty of success.
East or West, the principle feels the same.
We are measured not only by the lives we save, but by the lives we refuse to abandon.
This is for some Nepali people from Nepal who felt my last tweet was harsh.
I didn’t point fingers at everyone. But a few people really need to understand and be educated.
I know how badly trolling happens.
As an Indian Nepali, I have huge respect for Nepal. We share culture, food, and language. I hope Nepal understands this too.
East or West, India is the best 🇮🇳

1) Understandably many are confused where so much water came from with no lakes. We need to understand the scale of this. 🧵

@Kyangs_Thang@JngBahadurRegmi The north face has been climbed many times sir !!! Surprising that people from the land of the Holy Sagarmatha are ignorant about it !
26 July 1999,
The Day,
even the mountains bowed before the sheer determination of those who climbed through fire, ice and impossible odds to raise the Tricolour once again.
Forever Victorious 🇮🇳
@Kyangs_Thang Everyone on this post, I HOPE you have seen Mt Kongchen Chu in person ! His majesty in reality can be captured by no photograph, however enchanting. Still, a stunning photograph sir 🙏
