Engineer by training. Lifelong student of the world.

I am Rahul Poudel, an electrical engineer with a deep interest in geopolitics. I started this platform because accessible, engaging conversations about international affairs should be easier to find in Nepal.

My goal is simple: help young Nepalis understand the forces shaping their lives and feel ready to contribute to the country's future.

Why an engineer writes about power

Engineering teaches you to look for the system beneath the surface—the constraints, the feedback loops, the failure modes. International politics rewards exactly the same habit of mind. I write to apply that habit to the questions that matter most for Nepal, in language anyone can pick up and use.

What you can expect here

Essays, explainers, and field notes—researched carefully, written plainly, and always open to challenge. If you disagree with something I've written, that's the beginning of the conversation, not the end of it.
