Hello everyone, my name is Bishal Gyawali. You may know me as a medical oncologist, but I also like to think of myself as a philosopher. This website is the place for my philosophical thoughts. For my oncology work, refer to my oncology website.

But I have also decided to share other inspirational essays in this website under the Library of Inspiration page, and my spiritual thoughts under the Spiritual Journey page. Check them out. I hope you will find your subscription to this site meaningful. Cheers!
