म सूचना तथा सञ्चार प्रविधिको अध्ययन, अनुसन्धान तथा अध्यापन पेशामा गत दुई दशकदेखि संलग्न छु। यहाँ क्लिक वा ट्याप गरेर मेरो बारेमा नेपालीमा बिस्तारमा जानकारी पाउन सक्नु हुने छ। साथै मेरो शिक्षा, अनुभव तथा व्यवसायिक संघसंस्थासँगको आवद्धताका बारेमा तलका पेज तथा माथिको Menu बटन भित्रका पेजहरूबाट अंग्रेजीमा थप जानकारी पाउन सकिन्छ।

नोटः यो वेबसाइटमा प्रयोग गरिएका प्राकृतिक दृश्यका फोटाहरू मैले आफै खिचेका हुन्। धान खेत हाम्रो नेपालको घर (इनरुवा, सुनसरी) को हो भने हरियो चौर, रुखहरू, सेतो चेरी फूल फुलेको बेलामा भूईँभरि सेतो हिउँ ढाकेको ठाउँ जापानको हाम्रो घर छेउको टोकियो कोगानेइ पार्क हो।

मेरो अनुभवका बारेमा यो लिङ्कमा पढ्न सकिन्छः “२६ वटा देश घुमिसकें, नेपाल नै राम्रो लाग्छ“।
