How ISO Consultancy Services are Revolutionizing Business Organizations in Nepal

Introduction

As Nepal's economy has been developing at a very rapid rate and increasing its position in foreign trade, organizations look for ways through which they could improve their effectiveness, quality, and reputation. ISO certification was an excellent impetus in this context where organizations have wished to obtain that competitive edge. However, ISO certification requires preparation, planning, and conformity commitment too. The ISO consultancy service bridges this gap, enabling the organizations to obtain certification at affordable cost.

What is ISO Certification?

ISO certification is a globally accepted standard that helps organizations ensure that they are functioning in line with high-quality working and management methods. The most relevant ISO certifications for Nepali organizations are:

ISO 9001 (Quality Management System): Focuses on continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.

ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System): Helps companies incorporate environmental safe working practices.

ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System): Guarantees a safe workplace.

ISO 27001 (Information Security Management System): Enhances the data security process.

ISO 22000 (Food Safety Management System): To make food businesses a clean and safe process.

Benefits of ISO Certification to Nepali Enterprises

There are some benefits of ISO certification, which are mentioned below:

Improved Business Image: It generates confidence and trust among clients and business partners.

Smooth Operations: Smooth processes lead to high productivity and lower cost.

More Business: Foreign customers are willing to deal with ISO-certified companies.

Regulatory Compliance: Meets national and global regulations.

Better Risk Control: Helps in detection and avoidance of possible risks.

Increased Customer Satisfaction: Ensures quality services and product delivery.

ISO Consultancy Service Function in Nepal

ISO consultants are professional experts who guide companies to secure certification. Their functions include:

First Review: Detection of prevailing business processes and areas for improvement.

Documentation Support: Enabling companies to prepare required policies, manuals, and compliance documents.

Training Workshops: Training the personnel on ISO standards and their implementation.

Internal Audits: Pre-certification audits to detect and correct non-conformities.

Certification Assistance: Help in the selection of the appropriate certification body and coordination with auditors.

Post-Certification Assistance: Ensuring ongoing compliance and improvement through regular monitoring.

Selecting the Appropriate ISO Consultancy in Nepal

Appointment of a right ISO consultant can be a make-or-break deal in having a trouble-free certification process. Organizations must never overlook the following-discussed parameters while appointing an ISO consultancy company:

Experience & Expertise: The consultant must have experience in the concerned industry.

Client Testimonials: Authenticity check of testimonials and feedback can give some idea of service standards.

Tailoring: The consultancy company must have tailored solutions as per individual business needs.

Training & Support: Prompt consultant provides comprehensive employee training together with ongoing support.

Affordability & Competence: The consultancy has to ensure that it is providing economically feasible solutions at the expense of not diluting the service.

The Future of ISO Consultancy in Nepal

Even though the Nepalese business market is becoming competitive at a fast pace, ISO certification will also become more significant. More companies will opt for ISO certification so that they will be able to gain more credibility and enter international business. ISO consultancy companies will thus become of greater significance as companies will adhere to international standards and become successful in the long term.

Conclusion

ISO consultancy services are now an essential tool through which Nepalese companies attempt to enhance quality, enhance operations, and become internationally accredited. With the help of consultancy services, companies can be ISO certified and gain long-term development opportunities. As the need for certified companies keeps increasing, ISO consultancy services will be a part of Nepal's future economic vision.

What makes the finest meals of the day so amazing, and where can I get them?

The customer requests that their language be rewritten to be clear and concise without adding any further details. Would you want to eat at a restaurant to try something new or to commemorate a significant occasion? It is crucial to carefully assess the restaurant you select since it will have a significant influence on your evening's overall experience, either making or breaking it.

My essay needs some assistance. I'm having a lot of trouble with it, and tomorrow is the deadline. There are several things to think about while selecting the ideal hotel or restaurant. It is no longer enough to just have a varied and excellent menu in the cutthroat restaurant market of today. It also has to do with the excellence of intangible services and more upscale aspects of the environment. The ultimate choice of the client about where to eat is impacted by a number of things. We thoroughly classify them, taking into account both physical and intangible factors. Customer happiness and loyalty may be influenced by a variety of factors, including service quality, employee attitudes, and consumer comfort. You can be sure that every dish you order will be of the highest quality when you decide to eat at a fantastic restaurant. The best Nepalese food is served at that Best Nepalese Restaurant in Adelaide. It is crucial to choose the top Nepalese restaurant in Adelaide with caution.

A great chef for a dinner service is someone who works closely with the rest of the kitchen staff to satisfy the preferences of your clients and is well-versed in those preferences. It's crucial to take both online and offline information into account when making a decision. Smartphone apps and online reviews have dramatically streamlined the process of picking a restaurant to eat at. Regular diners at well-known restaurants offered both good and unfavourable comments. You may learn a lot about the kind of experience you might anticipate at a restaurant by reading reviews left by previous visitors. Reviews that customers read, whether online or off, may have a big impact on their final decisions. The food is the main subject: A restaurant's menu and the food it serves are important considerations when eating out. It would be advisable to look for a Chinese restaurant or a restaurant that has Chinese food available if you have a strong urge to consume Chinese food. When eating out with your family, it is best to choose a place that offers a variety of menu options. Selecting eateries that provide meals created with materials acquired locally or in your vicinity is one method to focus your restaurant search. You may choose Fine Dining Restaurant as your prefered option when picking the Fine Dining Restaurant in Brighton.

It is important to consider proximity. Make sure the Function hall in Brighton location meets your demands before you go there. It is a waste of time and money to go great distances for dinners that only cost a few hundred rupees apiece. Look for a restaurant that is conveniently close by or that can be reached quickly. It's crucial to take the restaurant's location and surroundings into account while choosing. It is recommended to eat in a restaurant close to a natural feature, such as a mountain, lake, or the ocean, when you are hungry. At such places, spending money on lunch or supper could be worthwhile.

Post Visit Evaluation and Analysis on Annapurna Circuit

Annapurna Base Camp that has been known as the lodges' small cluster on the opposite side of the glacier named Annapurna in Nepal. The Annapurna Base Camp's trek is considered an outstanding journey among a few of the highest peak treks in the world. The concept of tourism is determined as the specific activities shortlisted by own desire or choice as well as executed outer-side of the environment of the home. It is also known as the functions of travelling or visiting as well as exploring outside places to spend leisure time (Camilleri, 2018). With the same concept, I decided to visit Annapurna Base Camp destination to have an incredible and outstanding experience of exploring and going through the challenging treks. My expectations from the trip have been that I wished to view and enjoy the beautiful valley, explore the attractions of the mountain and stay in a tent at the location from where the sun-set point could be visible effectively. I encountered similar experiences as the trip trail took me through a beautiful valley surrounded by vegetation's variety.

While performing trekking to Chomrung from Ghandruk, there have been fern, rhododendron as well as bamboos. Once after crossing the point Sinuwa, I reached Annapurna sanctuary where the forest got highly dense that was although frightening to some extent but beautiful at the same time. Maslow's need theory guides that the motivation for travel gets generated among individuals in case they have a feeling of satisfaction with their needs about psychological expectations (Adiele and Abraham, 2013). Thus, I evaluated that my expectations have been fulfilled with this trip to Annapurna Base Camp to a significant extent. However, as the Annapurna Base Camp had a trek of length 67km, I failed in finding out sun-set point to place my tent for stay.

On the online platform, while visiting the web-source and articles, I found that for covering a total track of 67km length, 9 days have been essential (IndiaHikes, 2021). However, after my experience, I wanted to share that it is good for future visitors to keep a spare day with consideration of the risk of unfavourable weather. My online experience of visualising the attractions of Annapurna Base Camp has been highly significant as I found plenty of information regarding customer services. For example, I analysed that this location follows Nepali culture and the food provided at the majority of tea houses tends to be in Nepalese trend. I further identified online that in the treasure of mountain, Machapuchare i.e. a fish-tailed attractive mountain has been known for the incredible beauty of it and it was regarded as one of the places where Lord Shiva stays. Such types of information found from an online platform remained highly supportive for me as I enjoyed experiencing Nepali culture and food of their local style. Self-categorisation theory in the field of tourism explains the above aspect more clearly that the individuals themselves define the group identity or category of them in the geographical locations with their cognitive dimensions (Jostad et al., 2015). Thus, due to the Nepalese food style and language, I evaluated the prevalence of Nepali culture across the Annapurna Base Camp.  I also explored Machapuchare that offered me a divine environment and provide peace to my soul with the utmost beauty. Further, multiple customer services were observed on online platforms like booking confirmation service, cancellation policy, refund mechanism, three-day meals, items to carry like sunglasses, trekking suit and oximeters etc (Thrillophilia, 2021). In this way, a suitable advisory was obtained from an online platform to make the trip effective.

Furthermore, I also observed online that the local community-based in the Annapurna Base Camp has been Nepali; although due to the prevalence of migrants, English was the common language for making interactions that proved to be convenient for the trip. Moreover, the local culture was noted as highly welcoming as people were interactive and supportive to guide the travellers and share their life-styles to assist the stay for visitors in Annapurna Base Camp (IndiaHikes, 2021). Thus, it is evaluated that host-tourist relation has been observed to be highly strong in this location. As per the theory of planned behaviour, the individuals used to form decisions based on logical plans and reasonable aspects (Ajzen, 2011). Similarly, by visualising effective local culture, welcoming attitude of people and common language for interaction in Annapurna Base Camp, I planned to visit this location while having positive feelings after making an online search.

Apart from this, it is identified that the government of Nepal for boosting tourism, has been constantly funding the development of proper roads in the treks so as to provide a comfortable and convenient experience to the visitors. For evidence, till the year 2017 to 2018, feeder roads and highways have been developed to greater than estimated 6,700 extra miles by government funding (Shapiro, 2020). I further found that organisations like the Himalayan Glacier Adventure Travel organisation host variety of events to enhance the trip experience at Annapurna Base Camp. This organisation conducts events like trekking and hiking, cultural and historical tours, climbing and expedition, heli tours and religious tours for attracting tourists (Himalayan Glacier, 2021). However, I did not refer the local organisations to host my event as I used management of my trip by myself through exploring the place and services on Google through the internet.  

Further, I did not find adequate provision for corporate meetings as well as incentive-based travel for this location of Annapurna Base Camp. On the other side, the environmental factor was also observed that might hamper the trip due to the changing atmosphere or weather in this location.  Black swan theory guides that the events generate suddenly or surprisingly might pose a major or adverse impact (Ponkin, 2019). Similarly, I also encountered difficulty because of sudden winds and rain on my trip to this camp; so I would like to suggest future visitors take care of this aspect. Additionally, it is also noted that there has been strong physical infrastructure funded by the government and facilities of vehicles to travel in the region (Shapiro, 2020).

           Apart from it, I also evaluated that the tourism's impact gets minimised in Annapurna Base Camp protecting the environment, encouraging the use of renewable energy and raising funds or donations to fulfil basic requirements of water (NP.UNDP, 2017). In addition, for visitors' management, there are multiple factors like the staff of tea shops, porters and guides to effectively interact and welcome visitors to Annapurna Base Camp for attracting and influencing them. It is analysed by my experience that beautiful mountains, effective local food and common English language for communication help in managing visitors’ attraction to this location (IndiaHikes, 2021).

           However, while critically analysing my experience of this trip, I also wanted to convey that a sustainability issue might occur during the travelling to Annapurna Base Camp. In this essence, I wanted to share evidence that multiple other visitors throwing waste, using excessive natural resources like water and making the environment polluted contribute towards environmental destruction to some extent. The triple-bottom-line model of sustainability emphasises the need for managing social and environmental wellbeing maintenance with human actions along with the financial benefits (Ahi and Searcy, 2015). Thus, it is analysed that sustainability planning needs to be strong in this region for enhancing travellers’ experience level while also managing environmental wellbeing. On the distinct side, visitors' information was noted to be effective in Annapurna Base Camp; for example, guides for a tour provided significant knowledge of routes, destinations and attractions in this location that enhanced my experience of this trip and it would also be beneficial for future travellers to this location (IndiaHikes, 2021). Further, I preferred to stay in tents as I wanted to explore the natural beauty during my trip-period; however, there have been distinct types of accommodations in the Annapurna Base Camp region such as Himalaya Hotel and Dwarika’s Hotel. These hotels offer luxury facilities like deluxe bed, comfort-based world-class accommodation and effective ambience for travellers’ experience enhancement (Hotel Himalaya, 2021; Remote Lands, 2021). Thus, it is advisable for future travellers to go for luxury hotels in case they want effective comfort, a high-class accommodation experience and a relaxing trip.

Finally, the future challenge identified for the selected destination was related to sustainability and environmental problems because of increasing wastage, rising pollution and depletion of natural resources due to excessive consumption. The concept of the model of environmentally responsible behaviour supports the aspect of showing a positive attitude towards the management of environmental wellbeing and sustainability through perceiving values for nature and society (Chenget al.,2019). Thus, the Nepal government and tourist management agencies require taking care of managing environmental sustainability for boosting tourism and trips at Annapurna Base Camp.

How long does it take to climb Mount Everest

People on their way into an Everest hiking vacation will pass through Kathmandu. It is an atmospheric town while you're there waiting for your plane to Lukla to research.

Everest is definitely not a short trek so it’s better to look for How long does it take to climb Mount Everest. This is infact one of the most asked questions by trekkers.

 During your trek, you'll have a chance to explore local traditions and cultures. But mostly, you will be getting taste of various delicious cuisines.

 You may like Aaloo Dum (fried potato, Nepali style) or Momo (dumplings). Kwati is a soup mixed from nine different beans, also Badam Sadeko is a dish of peanuts with chillies and garlic. For dessert you may prefer a sweet yoghurt named Dahi or a Nepali'wine' called rakshi which is made from millet. It is.

 It's decorated with messages and memorabilia with notes written on paper yeti ft, which hung in the rafters and are glued to the walls, from Everest trekking celebrations at the Khumbu. It is an enjoyable place to see before and after your trek and functions both western and Nepali food washed down with yummy'Everest Beer'.

 Eating on the trek

 The huge majority will be offered by the tea homes. These rest stops that are welcome are still an important infrastructure for the Everest Base Camp Trek, providing a foundation for acclimatisation rest days and lodging. Some tea homes are simple whilst

others have a higher degree of comfort, but they are all places of personality.

 You could be amazed by the amount of food on offer; chips, potatoes, rice and soup are found on most tea home menus. They're high in carbohydrates - the food collection - therefore these are best for keeping you going in an Everest Base Camp Trek. You'll also be introduced into some Sherpa food. In particular, you will understand a Nepalese dish called Dhal Bhat, which is rice topped with a soup-like sauce made from vegetables and lentils. Dhal Bhat is the staple diet of the Sherpa people and they spice it up with vegetables that are hot. In your Everest Base Camp Trek you will see as it comprises all of the energy that they 30, your

hiking team eat Dhal Bhat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

 The majority of meals will be prepared 'from scratch' and cooked over a wood-burning or yak dung stove. In terms of drinks, you need to be careful on your Everest trekking holiday to drink water that's been sufficiently purified. Trekking is work that is sexy and it's vital to stay hydrated, so you will drink plenty. Besides the water there is always a tea in addition to a fantastic source of tea that is black.

 Trekkers are encouraged to take snack meals during the day to keep up energy levels which means that you may feel warranted enjoying convenient treats like energy bars, nuts, dried fruit, granola bars, beef jerky and chocolate bars. Most tea houses sell snacks such as some old favourites from home like Mars bars and Hob Nob snacks.

 Everest Summit Bids

 The requirements on the body are greater when trekking to Everest's summit. Eating may be hard during the climb because desire affects, but climbers must attempt to keep up their energy levels.

 The record-breaking Appa Sherpa, who has climbed Mount Everest (8,848 m) thirteen occasions, for example four occasions without supplemental oxygen, has noticed the way the Sherpas and the climbers from western civilizations eat very differently over the mountain. Appa advocates a potato and chilli soup with garlic and timmur were called by a spice. It could be the fuel you need to your Everest trekking vacation.

Facts Unknown About Momos

Indian food's main dish is the momo, which is widely available. They taste great, are beneficial to your health, and won't break the bank. How familiar are you with momos, though? Ever given it any thought?

Do not fret! Here are some of the most fascinating information about your favourite food, and it will only increase your love for momos.

So let's get started without further ado.

All for Momos, Momos for all

Everyone should at least once try momo, regardless of whether it is their first or a hundredth time. They also have a great price and come in plenty of delectable kinds!

Momo comes from Tibet, where it is known as mog mog. With the flood of Tibetan refugees into the nation, it expanded to Nepal and subsequently India. The Indians refer to their version of momo by various names depending on what region they are from, whereas the Nepalese refer to it as mochi.

Momo certainly conjures up a slightly different image in your mind than what it actually is. In Tibetan, the word "momo" really refers to a pie, therefore this meal is not what you might think it is.

Ever Evolving Momos

Momo, which was originally made from yak meat, has changed throughout time to incorporate more vegetable ingredients to appeal to vegetarians and vegans. They are still predominantly made of meat, but chicken is used instead of yak because it is more affordable and simpler to prepare.

In Eastern India, momos are incredibly popular. Assam, West Bengal, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh all have unique regional variants. They are frequently prepared at home in addition to being a regular street food. The variant of momo in Ladakh and Dharamshala, which are home to a sizable population of Tibetan descent, is also well recognized.

Nutritional Benefits of Momos

Ever tried to think of the nutritional benefits behind these delicious and pocket-friendly momos? If not, then let's get to know how many calories one consumes through momos.

Veg/ Paneer Momos- If you are a vegetarian the veg paneer momos are your staple food to eat. Digestive health, improved metabolism, and improved blood sugar levels are vital points to watch out for.

Digestive Health- Digestive Health: It is obvious to all of us that increasing your intake of vegetables will provide your body with more fibre. It functions in this way to assist you in enhancing your digestive system. Momos can improve your intestinal bowel movement, same as salad provides health benefits. Momo consumption will also help you prevent digestive problems.

Improved Metabolism-In addition to being delicious, the food also speeds up your body's metabolism. The metabolic system of the body gains from the same momos health advantages. It might consequently provide you with more energy.

Improved Blood Sugar Levels: Consuming momos has the added benefit of lowering blood sugar levels. Its high vegetable content will reduce your blood sugar levels. 

Chicken Momos

Protein-Filled- If you are a non-vegetarian, chicken momos have high protein content. This protein level will benefit various aspects of the body, allowing it to remain healthy and better. This also aids in muscle development.

Momos in Nepal

As we all know, steamed momos are the most popular. The term "mucktoo" refers to the conventional momo steamer. It's a piece of metal with holes at the bottom. To make your momo even more tasty and fresh, bamboo steamers are frequently utilized. Additionally, you can obtain plain, unfilled steamed bread known as "tingo" in some regions of Nepal, Sikkim, and the north Bengal. To improve aesthetic appeal, tingos are frequently shaped like lotuses.

Another variety of momo is known as Kothey momo, often known as pot stickers. In order to add a little crispiness, kothe momos are first cooked in meat broth before being fried.

Wrapping Up

Momos are not only delightful to eat, but they also have a number of health benefits for everyone who enjoys this cuisine. This is not surprising, given that dumplings have long been considered a healthy food. This is due to the fact that the food is steaming and the contents can be ordered to our liking. Then, if you want to stay healthy, picking veggies as a source of nutrition is the greatest and most appropriate option. That’s all about the small facts unknown about momos.

The Spicy Goodness of Nepalese Cuisine

What makes it stand out from the rest is the spicy goodness of Nepali cuisine. Though spices not only add flavour to the food, they also provide us with health benefits. Some of the special herbs and spices used in Nepalese cuisine and their secret advantages are listed in the following list. In Indian, East Asian, and Middle Eastern grocery stores, or in some health food stores and larger supermarkets, most spices are available. Here are a couple of the spices in our Nepali homes that are widely used, and their benefits. 

Turmeric

Turmeric (besar) produces a compound called Circumin, the basis of most Nepali cuisine. Research is now catching up with Circumin's excellent health benefits. It is known as a medicinal herb that cures. Fighting cancer and brain degenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's has been confirmed.

Cumin 

Scientific research has shown that cumin (jeera) is able to stimulate pancreatic enzyme development and assist digestion. Studies have also shown that cumin protects the body from memory loss and the adverse effects of stress. Cumin also has a very high antioxidant content and is a good source of vitamins and minerals, such as iron and manganese.

Cilantro

Coriander (dhaniya) seeds also assist in food digestion. These seeds have antibacterial properties, shielding us from diseases caused by food. This helps detoxify our bodies and is also a healthy source of iron. Studies have shown that these seeds help regulate blood sugar levels, help prevent colon cancer, and protect against damage to our nervous system.

Cinnamon 

Cinnamon (dalchini) is yet another spice that improves mental alertness and brain activity. Cinnamon is good for lowering triglycerides and maintaining a steady level of sugar in the blood. If you're still in a bad mood, all you need to do is smell some cinnamon, according to Dr Bryan Raudenbush, Associate Professor of Psychology and Director of Undergraduate Study at Wheeling Jesuit University in Wheeling.

Pepper cayenne

This red hot chilli (khorsani) spice is also used with anti-inflammatory properties as a natural fat burner and painkiller. In reality, cayenne is used to cure and prevent ulcers, improves circulation, boosts the immune system and helps digestion as well.

Wrapping Up

We use a range of spices in our cooking. Please read our website for some recipes and how we use spices here at Nirankar Restaurant, your Neapalese cuisine.

Goat distribution

ASHA’S GOAT PROJECT IN NEPAL

What does a goat mean to women and communities in Nepal?

 Empowering Nepalese women and feeding families are important missions within the ASHA Project.

The women assisted via our goat project tell us that keeping goats increases their earnings, provides pediatric nutrition via milk and enables them to save for their children’s health and education. From feelings of marginalization and despair, these women are shaping their own destinies.  They come together in new ways, discussing husbandry and feeding matters, behaviors and signs of goat health and well-being.  Any feelings of despair fade away and are replacement by hope, togetherness, female-empowerment and influence.

Since 2013, The Friends of Nepal –New Jersey (now the Asha Project) has been helping women in Nepal.  Our first project was launched in 2013 with a special orientation session on how to raise goats. This was held in the Godamchaur (district of Lalitpur, Nepal) and thirty-five women participated. From those 35, 25 were selected who were able to demonstrate the skills required to raise animals.

Since 2011 we have been distributing goats in many other villages and districts.

HOW DO WE FEED 9.7 Billion PEOPLE?

By the year 2050, there will be 9.7 billion people on planet Earth. Currently, we’re failing to feed just over 7 billion.

To meet the ever-growing need for food while preserving the ecosystems we depend upon, humanity will need to innovate. Livestock systems must be available to impoverished communities, to decrease their environmental footprint, and to make products accessible to those who need them most.

 The NEPAL Goat PROJECT is the brainchild of the Asha Project. We aim to achieve food security through environmentally sustainable interventions. We prioritize animal welfare and act on community-defined need as we work to solve one of the world’s toughest problems.

ASHA invites contributions, comments, ideas that will assist our pursuit of a fundamental human right – receiving food.

Next Step: Rotary Global Grant Project: 

Goat farming is a profitable business with a low investment because of its multi-functional utility like meat and milk production. Goats are widely used livestock in Nepal. Goat farming will help to generate income in rural Nepal. Every year Nepal important more than 50,000 bucks from India and China so there is a very good market for the goal project.

SCOPE: 1000 WOMEN IN 10 DISTRICTS IN 5 YEARS

From those first 25 women going out to change their own lives and those of their communities via the Goat Project, 500 women are now engaged in making a positive sustainable difference.

Within the Goat Project, participants receive goats, plants for forage and fodder, group savings and micro credit loans, access to literacy and gender equity training.

Yet, although we are happy about our progress to date, we will not rest.  Change is on the horizon. Your support helps the Asha Project train and equips Nepali women across 10 districts to dramatically increase family income, well-being and self-empowerment through the production and sale of goats and goat products.

Our goal is help Nepalese women’s groups, support women-led farmer cooperatives and women-led self-help groups that provide literacy, gender equity, group savings and other opportunities.  ASHA wants women to flourish, and, in time, be completely self-directed and independent.

We know – because we have been told this – that this aim is shared by women worldwide. Therefore, once again, please consider becoming involved.

Portfolio Interview

To get better insight and to really explore my personal motivation and thought process. I wanted to ask myself questions about those topics. I thought it would therapeutic yet informative. I have made some sets of questions for myself which can been seen as ways to talk more about the work and talk about things that I have been doing unconsciously, this is where I confront these topics and answer genuinely.

Artistic Practice

I'm a fine art, documentary photographer. In my work, I explore the notions of isolation, identity & sense of belonging. I’m fuelled by my own curiosity to people and the world. My images are manifestations of my own view of the world. As I grew up in both Nepal and UK, I’m fuelled by my own experience of seeing which is in this peculiar mix of both eastern and western culture.

Photography is ultimately personal, I have this diaristic approach towards photography to the point where it becomes biographical of my life.

-Who are you? (Website Introductions)

John Gurung is a photographic artist based in South-East, UK. He's currently studying Photography at the University of Hertfordshire.

John searches for the ordinary in the extraordinary, exploring his fascination of photographing his curiosity in the world and it's people.

-Descriptions of your commercial practice

I don’t like to differentiate my commercial and main practice too separate. I like to make it as cohesive as I can with just minor tweaks as I explore different medium. For example, in my recent fashion editorial work. From major influence from my recent personal body of work that explores my Nepalese identity.  I embodied this idea onto the fashion editorial piece where I wanted the images to be more story board and less look book. As I grew up in both Nepal and UK, I’m fuelled by my own experience of seeing which is in this peculiar mix of both eastern and western culture. I think that this really informed the selection of images and also how they were photographed. Each image tells their own story, they even work well as a group. The nods towards Nepalese street style, such as the girl wearing traditional Nepalese kurtha with a more eastern makeup-- it’s a nostalgic update on that classic clash of east/west I grew up with.

I like this cohesiveness in my work that I try to pursue as the theme opens to new medium and challenges. I don't think there should be a fine line between the commercial and personal work, merging the two helps you to grow and to create a cohesive body of work.

Photo Projects

-just passing through…

It's an exploration of a relatively "ignored" and small town, home of University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield which is a popular destination for commuters as it's a passing town. It's a place that you always see but yet explore. It's a "temporary home". In the series, you are greeted by gentrification's by-products, tension, alienation and absence. The casual eye of the stroller reflects the purposeful gaze of the detective. The emptiness of the space in the photographs are related to what Walter Benjamin described as the scene of the crime. The process of strolling seeks out traces and excavating clues that embody a past, present and future which attempts to affirm the physical and psychological condition of Hatfield, a city ripe with history, texture and mystery. 

 -Food is Life

Photography is full of narrative possibilities. Despite not showing people in it, the notion of people is ever so present which speaks of their character and who they are. Food is Life are the choices and certain characteristics that students make based on their unstable finance. Student life is poverty. In a post-financial crash landscape of austerity, university students have been deeply affected by this through the result of initiation of fees and little amount of money that is left over for students to live, the Polaroids that you see are a strong signifier of this. It also challenges this so called perfect “foodie” photographs of expensive gourmet of food that you see in social media. Showing you the hidden truth of modern student lives.

 -Mero Pahichaan

This project focuses on my fading Nepalese identity. I'm a British Citizen who has lived in the UK for nearly 14 years now. Despite having lived in the UK more than I have in Nepal, I still feel a strong sense of belonging in Nepal. This underlying theme urges me to rekindle my relationship with Nepal and it’s rich culture. Using my camera as a tool that functions as part anthropological enquiry and part personal story from my depleting Nepalese identity to explore intimacy, distance and often tensions be­tween my torn identity. The project attempts to manifest a sense of attachment to my Nepalese identity but also comprehends my separation from it.

 -Nostalgia

Nostalgia is potent and intoxicating. It’s one of my running themes in my practice. Through this portfolio, I’ve worked on series of images that seem as documentary photography but with a subtle fashion element to it. Fashion has always been a huge influence on me, it forms us of who we are and how we are portrayed. The images are less look book, more storyboard. I’m fuelled by my own curiosity to people and their culture. The images are manifestations of my own view of the world. As I grew up in both Nepal and UK, I’m fuelled by my own experience of seeing which is in this peculiar mix of both eastern and western culture. I think that this really informed the selection of images and also how they were photographed. Each images tell their own story, they even work well as a group. The nods towards Nepalese street style, such as the girl wearing traditional Nepalese kurtha with a more eastern makeup-- it’s a nostalgic update on that classic clash of east/west I grew up with. The images evokes a kind of playful nostalgia.

A little foolishness mixed in with a little thought.

 -Biya (Stepping Stope in Life) – A photo essay (Working project)

2020, that means I'm 22. I have entered the 'glamourized' decade of my life where I am expected to achieve certain goals or accomplishments in life. As I grow older, I am expected to check off certain things in society's checklist for 20+ year olds. This essay voices my opinions and thoughts of this preconceived golden years of one's life.

 -What inspires you?

My own experiences as I experience life. Life inspires me all the time. I am also inspired by other creative fields such as fashion, music, movies, paintings, sculptures, etc. It drives and influences me to experience other people's work as they use the mentioned creative fields to fulfil their creative vision.

 In my work, I am more interested in taking series and evolving the into different manifestations as they grow. I have learnt more about my position as an estranged "tourist" in my work where I'm an outsider. I let these spontaneous, mishaps in photographs influence my work in some way. Being a stranger and almost alien like is great critical position to be in. Everything is new to the eye, it's a good meditative state of mind for strong work. As things become more familiar, it becomes increasingly difficult to look at things with a critical eye. Therefore, in my projects, I'm exploring ideas and my responses to these ideas whilst being quite receptive & neutral in my work. It's this driving curiosity that pushes me to pursue my personal projects.

 -What does your portfolio consist of?

My portfolio consists of themes ranging from identity, separation and intimacy. The various projects and photographs in my portfolio embody the mentioned themes. In most of my projects, I'm nearly always an outsider trying to look in or understand different ideals, photography simply becomes a social tool for me to engage in that exploration.

In addition to my projects, I have work from weddings, travel, holidays and events that I try to separate between my main work and commercial work. My 'main work' consists of my personal projects that I have managed to create and compile over the last couple of years which 'brands' me as a documentary, fine art photographer. For a commercial approach, I tend use work that's from commissions, fashion, weddings and events where I use photography in a professional commercial working environment. Even in my commercial side, I attempt to have a similar feel in the photographs as I do in my personal work. I don't like this idea of having a personal body of work and a commercial work that is so completely different from each other. I see it as both influencing each other.

 -Your approach to your practice what makes you and your work different

Everyone is different and unique, me being me is enough but to survive in the creative industry, it's hard and challenging. I guess what makes my approach to my work different is that it's diaristic and it comes straight from my own personal experiences. I tend to specific tool such as film cameras, various print types, retouching methods that's known to be of my style. In which, I have managed to accumulate over the last years. In my practice, I also tend to use writing to reflect my ideas and experiences to the photographs, both of which are distinctive of me.

-What do you want to tell your audience?

For me, more than telling, sharing is key for me. In my projects, I aim to evoke a sense of understanding and vulnerability, in which I hope my audience can understand and experience. Photography helps us to share our experiences through life, through hardships, through failures, through success. It helps us to feel close to our life, we feel connected to it. We understand a historical document intellectually, but we understand a human document emotionally. I recently read an interview with Todd Hido (American photographer) where he read one of his favourite comments he has ever received about his work from a stranger: “Todd Hido’s photographs do something to me. Like he remembers my memories, except he hasn’t met me, and I haven’t met him…”. This is similar to what I want to achieve in my work, somehow by implementing my own narrative and personality in his photographs, so much so that the personal photograph becomes personal to someone else. I would love to get that from my viewers, the image becoming so powerful that it makes your viewers relate to the scene, it almost touches them personally.

 -Who are your audience?

My audience are people who enjoy art and photography. I like to think that my work covers not just photography but everything in between. Photography like many other visual arts is a medium where it seems to summarise an idea but it rather re-creates and compiles ideas onto a singular frame. Photography is a way to inform and share experiences.

 -What are you interested in?

Overall, I am interested in the way we look at things, and particularly the way in which our perceptions shape the way we view our everyday surroundings. As humans we inherit our way of thinking from the past and tend to have trouble looking beyond what is in front of us. I'm merely trying to refocus our feelings and emotions to the everyday. Photography for me is this journey of finding sense of the world through my personal experiences and feelings. I like to think and see myself as a stranger, an outsider to all of my projects. Almost like an alien, which I think it's a great critical position to be in. Everything is new to the eye, it's a good starting point to be in as you're in this meditative state of mind where you are open to see more and new things. As things become more familiar, it becomes increasingly difficult to look at things with a critical eye. In most of my projects, I'm nearly always an outsider trying to look in or understand different ideals, photography simply becomes a social tool for me to engage in that exploration. Photography is my response to my life.

Career Interests

1. What areas of professional photography are currently of interest to you?

The area that I am interested has always been the documentary side with fine art elements to it. However, I have also been interested in the commercial/editorial genre of photography. In the long end, I would love to shoot editorial documentary photographs for a magazine or a company.

2. What careers are open to you given these interests?

In the commercial industry, there are lots of career options that are of interest to me, such as editorial work, fashion, portrait or of a product (still life). My main interest currently is of towards fashion and portraiture. I would like to do an internship/assist other photographers/photography agencies in order to get more experience. As I lack experience. 

3. Which careers interests you most and why?

The documentary fashion interests me the most as I have always had interests in clothes and art. I regularly visit websites and articles that discuss both fashion and photography, this has fuelled my inspirations throughout the years. I have always admired the brilliant work of Nadev Kander, Mario Sorrenti, Bruce Davidson and Juergen Teller and more recently works of Jamie Hawskworth and Francesca Jane Allen.

Practitioners

1. Identify 3-5 professional practitioners that you admire?

I admire lots of professional practitioners, it’s hard for me to pick but when I do think, three photographers stands out me.I have always admired the works of Tom Wood, Joel Meyerowitz and William Eggleston, their works stands out to me the most. Their strong, unique views on the medium of photography to depict their surroundings have always astonished me. Their works seem so much to me, they have been the source of inspiration from me. Their views and depiction of daily life in their home town has always stuck to me, to the point where I can see their work in everyday life. All three of them had this method of, a democratic approach to the banality of everyday life and they depicted in a certain way that the viewers feels attached to the photograph, you always feel something in their photograph.

2. What are your 5 key strengths?

My 5 keys are strengths are-

-Organisation

-Dependable (There when you need me)

-Hard worker

-Team Player

-Always keen to learn

3. What are your 5 key areas to consider?

-Procrastination

-Not reading enough (books, articles)

-Update on development of work (Tend to forget)

-Don’t have much photographic experience within the industry

-Research on photography

4. What are your biggest worries/concerns about working in the industry? And how do you feel you can overcome these challenges? What are you doing about this currently?

My biggest concern is that I will not get a job within the industry as it is tough out there with lots of competitions. My worry is what if I leave Uni with just a paper which proves that I am qualified?, I would need to work on contacting the industry and getting the right job for me to secure even after leaving Uni. What I’m doing currently to reduce the chance of that happening is to contact people within the photographic industry, whether they are small time photographers or photography agencies. This could possibly help me to land a job in the industry.

5. What are your targets to improve your photography this year? 

My targets to improve are to reach out to the industry, which can be a good way to secure a job there. Organising and getting my portfolio ready. Just focusing on getting myself out there.

Experience

1. Do you have any other interests that might influence your career choice?

I do other have interests such as being a documentary photographer for a particular magazine or a company, being requests to go to certain places and get specific photographs the client demands. This may be, working for a particular newspaper or a magazine. Or perhaps as an photo editor. Anything that’s creative.

Future plans

1. What are your immediate plans when you graduate?

My immediate plans is to get a job within the photographic industry, I want to be able to work in the industry. I don’t further plans to study, I want to focus on working finally within the industry that I have dreamed about working in whether  if it’s an internship or a full time job, if it’s released to photography then I will be very happy.

2. Where do you see yourself professionally in two year’s time?

In two-year’s time, I see myself settle in control of my life fully, a person who seems like an artist and think likes one. I see myself as an artist with a good wide scope of portfolio which helps me to land jobs at different places within the photographic industry. I see myself as a professional photographer who works full time for a editorial type company, taking photographs for them.

3. What are your long-term professional aims (next 5 years)?

Long-term wise, I want to see myself working within the photographic industry. Hopefully with few years of experience, my networking in the industry increases, and my knowledge of the industry also increases, with this in mind, thoughts may rise up such as starting up a business of my own. Hopefully, I will be then a full time professional photographer working for a company or a magazine, with several personal projects going on at the side.

4. Why do you want to be in the photographic industries?

To be a part of the photographic industry, it's a great deal of power and responsibility to show the world your own perspective, your own story. Photography helps us to feel close to our life, we feel connected to it. We understand a historical document intellectually, but we understand a human document emotionally. It's this drive that makes me want to be photographer.

Answering these questions have been rather challenging, yet it was therapeutic to write. I realised that I wrote some things that I genuinely wouldn’t known if I haven’t asked myself those questions. It’s a great way to get your reasoning behind your work and your motivating behind it. It feels diaristic in the sense that I become quite open and revealing in my answers. I want to explore more of this in the future as this is quite convenient and informative to some people who might not ‘get’ my photographs, the writing can help shape them an understanding of the project and the reasoning behind it. In the future, I wish to use this alongside my photographs to share amongst my peers and tutors to further introduce them to my project as well as to communicate my own personal insight to my thought process. Writing this has certainly helped me to feel closer and connected to my goals.

Mini Interview

To get better insight and to really explore the project through the means of asking myself questions and my motivation towards the project can be therapeutic yet informative. I have made some sets of questions for myself which can been seen as ways to talk more about the work and talk about things that I have been doing unconsciously, this is where I confront these topics and answer genuinely. 

Background of ‘Mero Pahichaan’ Project

I want to explore my personal experience in relation to my Nepalese identity. My work is quite personal as I explore various themes of identity, isolation and belonging, my wok is simple a response to that. I re-examine this notion of  having an Asian identity and the feeling of being distant in terms of linking to your heritage.

 Photography is a universal language to me that I want to access and to talk back to the world.

-Title of the project, what does it mean?

‘Mero Pahichaan’

It translates to ‘my identity’, the title is Nepalse which is romanized in English, this is something that I play around with my captions as well. I wanted the title to be informative yet informative. The title hints at a familiarity yet is not English, it refers to completely different language and meaning which is a representative theme of my project.

Also in the captions and the work, not only the photographs are autobiographical in the sense of interpreting a sense of own experiences in the pictorial narrative sense but they are also accompanied by autobiographical titles and paratexts by myself.

-What is the project about? / Project synopsis

This project focuses on my fading Nepalese identity. I'm a British Citizen who has lived in the UK for nearly 14 years now. Despite having lived in the UK more than I have in Nepal, I still feel a strong sense of belonging in Nepal. This underlying theme urges me to rekindle my relationship with Nepal and it’s rich culture. Using my camera as a tool that functions as part anthropological enquiry and part personal story from my depleting Nepalese identity to explore intimacy, distance and often tensions between my torn identity. The project attempts to manifest a sense of attachment to my Nepalese identity but also comprehends my separation from it.

-What do you want to say?

I simply explore my family and how our relationship, memories and bodies are intertwined. The project is very intimate, in which it underscores the closeness and the bond of my family as well as my vulnerable identity. Although deeply personal, the work welcomes you into it's confused world, evoking a sense of understanding and vulnerability. This is fuelled by my own experience of seeing which is in this peculiar mix of both eastern and western culture.

- Why do I want to tell this story?

This project is a very personal story, it's my journey so far as I confront my identity and heritage. The overarching feeling is of an outsider yet an insider, who's a queer mixture of the east and the west, out of place everywhere. Photography for me, contributes to a collective space that creates conditions of citizenship and participation. Through this, an ongoing dialogue opens between the project and the audience where their own experiences of growing up and dwelling within the region are introduced. Although, it's a personal story, there are some universal themes of having a sense of belonging and questioning of identity that resonates with everyone.

 - What is my emotional connection to this project?

At the core, the photographs are my recollection of my memories regarding my childhood experiences and my sense of attachment to a place, to Nepal and UK. In a way, the project is much about nostalgia. The photographs within the project don't document the way things really were but instead, they communicate my selective, romantic memories of growing up in a specific place and time, coloured by my present circumstances. The images are felt as warm and familiar by many, because they stimulate embodied memories of some common experiences of place. The work evokes a kind of playful nostalgia.

 -Project promotional PDF & industry audience

UK is home to one of the largest Nepalese diasporic communities in the world which is supported by the past ongoing relationship between the two countries. This project reflects this movement as I attempt to tell a story about a sense of place. The images express my personal nostalgia for a period of my life and the places of my childhood. Thus, 'Mero Pahichaan' are my experiences of a deeply felt identity of a place. I believe that they also inspire feelings of nostalgia in many of the people who view them.

It's an ode to my childhood, our Nepalese British childhood and personal experiences.

 -What will your colour schemes/tones be? How will you create a unifying visual consistency to your images?

The project embraces an experimental approach with it's uses of experimental medium such as polaroid and film to investigate the personal and cultural topics around memories, migration and displacement within my Nepalese identity. The variety of the medium and the different look of the images represent the diversity of people and the differences. The photographs are imperfect, they're not always well composed or properly exposed. A wonderful analogy is created of me and my memory. We understand a historical document intellectually, but we understand a human document emotionally.

The photographs in the project has an underlying warm tone, it welcomes you with the soft of pastel colours which evoke a feeling of warmth and understanding.

Identity, exploration, lost, confusion, intimacy, vulnerability, relationship, isolation, nostalgia, attachment, separation, culture, citizen, sentimental, memory, heritage,

A little foolishness mixed with an introspective thought.

 -Talk about your technical mishaps in the project / Stylistic choices

 There are some 'technical mishaps' such as colour cast, wonky film borders, inaccurate exposures, crop factor, etc. All of these 'mishaps' works with the project. You are reminded almost every time that you are looking at a photograph, each photograph has their own character. You are looking at an experience, my experience. Those experiences might be hazy, unclear or inaccurate, but they embody my fading identity.

 - Fragments of Nepal in UK

 Initially, I photographed remnants of the Nepalese culture in my home at UK. Personally, I don’t have much personal objects that links to my cultural heritage, but my parents do. My house at UK has lots of personal objects and strong attachment to Nepal such as the cultural clothing, food, religion, etc. Coming back to my family's house almost feels like I'm in Nepal where I am surrounded by the Nepalese culture and people constantly. With this surrounding, I explore the environment, using my camera as a tool that functions as part anthropological enquiry and part personal story from my depleting Nepalese identity.

 As well as with objects, I photographed lots of my close family members here in the UK. Some of them are staged and some were in the heat of the moment. The photographs was a result of conversations that I would normally have with my parents regarding my fading Nepalese identity. Sometimes, I photographed my parents in a cultural attire or sometimes, I photographed them in everyday situations in order to get this contrast between their own British & Nepalese identity as they differ to create a strong juxtaposition.

 -You feature your family a lot in this project. Was this a conscious decision?

 Photographing my family became a way of confronting my confusion about being identity. My parents has always guided and supported me throughout my life, they made me who I am. It made sense to trace back my idea of my identity back to my parents. In this project, I focus on my family and how our relationship, memories and bodies are intertwined.

 -Your photographs vary from still life, portraiture and landscapes. What was the reason behind it?

 The photographs vary from still life, portraits & landscapes, the series of them are interconnected in terms of their subject matter, a deeper layer of meaning is created in their being set in relation to one another. The work represents the whole experience, the ideas of my Nepalese identity. It's this strong urge to preserve my Nepalese identity that drives me as I attempt to rekindle my relationship. The whole project has been a way of creating a sense of attachment to my Nepalese identity but also my separation from them.

Personal Intake

Answering these questions have been rather challenging, yet it was therapeutic to write. I realised that I wrote some things that I genuinely wouldn’t known if I haven’t asked myself those questions. It’s a great way to get your reasoning behind your work and your motivating behind it. It feels diaristic in the sense that I become quite open and revealing in my answers. I want to explore more of this in the future as this is quite convenient and informative to some people who might not ‘get’ my photographs, the writing can help shape them an understanding of the project and the reasoning behind it. In the future, I wish to use this alongside my photographs to share amongst my peers and tutors to further introduce them to my project as well as to communicate my own personal insight to the project. Writing this has certainly helped me to feel closer and connected to the project.
