01 / My little corner of the world
I keep coming back
to “why?”
I’m Shaswot. I live in Kathmandu, follow questions across disciplines, and find myself between journeys.
My bookshelfWhat I’m exploring
A curiosity I inherited
I think it started
before me.
Even at 90, my grandfather kept asking questions. He encouraged me to read, look deeper, and make a difference.
I think some of that curiosity became mine.
Still asking. Still learning.02 / On my shelf
I like books that leave
me with more questions.
Pick one up. Follow an idea.
03 / A question to play with
I wonder how a few
become a crowd.
I keep returning to the space between an individual choice and a collective one.
Blue: waiting · orange: joined. A simplified threshold model, not a reconstruction of the protests. Each person joins when enough connected neighbours have joined.
04 / September 2025
Then the questions
became real.
I helped create the Discord server and started discussions from the beginning. I tried to stay neutral, make room for different voices, and do what I could as events unfolded.

Interviews & research ↗05 / The chapter I’m in
I’m exploring what it means
to be human in the age of AI.
At Tools for Humanity, I work on technology that brings that question into everyday life.
I want to understand what comes next—and help make it better.
