A day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and you'll know the debt is paid.

About Me

Born on 30th of August of 1996 in the Himalayan Country Nepal , I dreamt to Climb Mount Everest but, that was in third grade when my teacher asked,” What would you like to do in your life?” It was silly of me to say that I would conquer the highest peak of the Earth, as I was afraid of heights and I still am. But, that was only the quickest answer I thought. 

Apart from my silly childhood dreams, I was born and raised in Biratnagar, one of the sub metropolitan cities of Nepal. Being the eldest grandson to the family, all of the family members loved me a little more. Esp. my grandfather and grandmother loved me a bit more than other grandchildren. I went to Everest Secondary English Boarding School, from class Nursery to Tenth grade. I was popular in the school and everyone loved me there too maybe because I studied the same school for twelve years. Not that good in studies but I always managed to get above average marks. 

After finishing my tenth grade, I moved to the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu to finish my last two years of high school. I was not alone my mother and my brother moved too. Dad couldn't because we had our business in Biratnagar but, he would visit us occasionally like once in a month. I started my GCE- A Levels in Kings College. The two years of high school was fun but the result was not too good. However I managed to graduate with an overall of C grade. Friends said me that was good as most of my class mates could not get good grade and neither did I. 

After finishing my high school in the summer of 2013 I took a gap year did some interns and volunteering and said myself that 2014 would be awesome. But, it didn't. I always wanted to be an engineer, so I joined engineering preparation classes to the crack the toughest engineering examination in the country. If I didn't passed it I would not be able to study in any engineering colleges affiliated to Institute of Engineering (IOE). Likewise Three months passed and it was the time for the entrance exam. But, a notice regarding entrance was circulated by IOE that there would be two phases of the examination. First the Computer based test and second the paper based test. Those who didn't passed the computer based test would not be able to sit for the paper based test and would not able to study in any engineering colleges affiliated to IOE. I knew I would not crack the exam. There were two reasons- First the engineering entrance course was different from the A levels course I studied and second was The Random Stalker . Finally the result day came and I failed. Half of the students appearing the exam failed too. But it didn't matter to me that what others did; the main thing was I failed. 

“Half a dozen in correct Multiple Choice Questions ruined my life”, I murmured to myself. What am I going to do? I was tensed. Pink Floyd said,” We don’t need no education”, but that was in late 60’s or 70’s. I want to be an engineer and whatever happens I am going to get into a damn engineering college and get my degree. But how, I said to myself. 

And thanks to god’s grace there was another engineering college affiliated to Pokhara University (It is a government university too) but instead it was affiliated to Pokhara University not Institute of Engineering (IOE). I filled up the form and studied, studied hard. I knew the questions would not be related to my A levels Syllabus. So I studied, studied hard. I studied every book from that HSEB or Nepal Government prescribed syllabus. In a month I finished studying Physics, Chemistry, Math’s and English. I surfacely read all the books, I mean how could I finish studying the course of two years in a month. I was afraid. If I failed this one too, my life was ruined I said to myself. 

At the exam day, I did all the questions but I was not sure if all of them were correct especially Chemistry. I result came and I passed. I was more than happy. Everyone was happy my friends, parents everyone. But that moment of happiness turned into a moment of sadness when I knew the students would get admitted on the basis of their entrance exam score. I slightly got above average marks but still I was afraid that I could not make into the college. I filled up for Electrical and Electronics Engineering. The first merit list got published. I didn't make it. I was devastated, I mean all those hard work, was going in vain. 

The second merit list would get published after a week and if the seats were empty for my faculty, I would be able to join. But what If the seats weren't empty? What If everyone on the first merit list got admitted? Seven days passed like Seven months. Finally the day was here, the merit list got published and I made it to the top of the second merit list. I don’t remember what was the happiest moment of my life since childhood, but if anyone asked me, this day was one of the happiest moments I would reckon. The next day I and my dad went to the college and I got admitted. I felt like the happiest person in the world. Why wouldn't I? I mean my life was going nowhere and suddenly I've got a path. Life is beautiful again, I murmured.

And here I am waiting for my college to start on the third of November, 2014. 

A little piece of advice for you guys out there (not that I am good at it)

Whatever happens in your life remember, there's always a bright sunshine after a storm.
