Six years as a software engineer. Then I turned 28, worked out what the next forty years looked like, and left.
I moved out of Kathmandu and back to my village. This is the whole story, including the part I do not usually lead with: my father died when I was 25, after a lifetime of working, and never got the time he was saving up for.
That is the actual reason. Everything else is arithmetic.

This is not advice and it is not a template. My family had already built the house, living in a Nepali village is cheap, and I have engineering to go back to if this goes nowhere. That is why I could afford the risk, and your situation is not mine.
Prayogsala is the Nepali word for laboratory. I use it for mine — everything I try over the next two years gets filmed, written up, and counted, including the parts that do not work.

I am not an expert. I am the experiment.
