"My Aim in my life" is the most common topic for essay writing during school. "What you want to become in the future ", the most common question a child would get. I tried writing such essays with lots of professions. On someday the essay would say I want to become a teacher, someday prime minister, someday a designer, someday a painter, someday a businesswoman...

But inside me I was never sure, I would write on each profession, with a motive to observe two things. First, which is that topic where I can write maximum paragraphs and impress my teacher. Second, which profession resonates with me. The 1st was too short term and I achieved it. The second was tricky to achieve. I still struggle with it. To really find that profession or title which I can term as ''my dream job" or 'my aim in life".

With time I have been enlightened with few realizations on what is it that really resonates with me, what is it that I could do with my full energy and compassion. But as always nothing is crystal clear and I am okay with that. When things are not clear you put more effort. You explore, you get perspectives, and that exploration helps discover something that you never thought of.

In a country where thousands of youths go out for foreign employment and the rest move from company to company to get a job that would pay them enough to make a living. I dream to be different; I dream to create jobs not just for me but for others. I dream do enough to have the liberty to stay in my own land and earn a decent living. The way to achieve this is through Entrepreneurship. I aim to create a venture that is made in Nepal for the people of Nepal.

My exploration journey made me realize my love for art, crafts, and personalized handmade products. Moreover, my second internship gave me opportunity to know the handicraft industry and the artisans behind such creations. And this led me to start my Instagram account where I document my journey with crafts. Soon I realized that my crafts are worthy of monetary value as I would get orders. Besides the monetary gain, it is the happiness in the face of the customers when they received the crafts, I have made for them.

Nepal is filled with artisans who made amazingly beautiful handmade products but not all artisans are able to make a living from it. I want to help those people through my initiatives. I want to become a medium for those artisans whose art is yet to be recognized.

I aim to combine my love for art and my desire to help society and create a brand that resonates with Nepali culture, and also has a modern appeal. My dream job is to create a Nepali hand crafted brand. ~ Laxmi Bhatta
