I was born and brought up in Kathmandu. As a kid, I was timid and barely talked to new people. Although I was shy, I had a big dream of becoming a lawyer. I liked how lawyers argued in movies, and the best part was when the victims would get justice. I wanted to do something to help people in need. Singlehandedly, I was able to begin a campaign called ‘Wall of Kindness’ where homeless kids could come and get their choice of clothes – this I consider to be the biggest achievement in my life.

My parents used to get continuously criticised for having a single child and that too a girl. But they fought for me and came out of the joint family only for my better future.

I realised how hard life is when I moved to India for my further studies. I had to go to unknown cities for internships, find a roof, manage everyday life and live alone. I had my parents to support me, but one thing that bothered me was the thought of many others who were living a life harder than mine.

I joined TFN because I have the ability and motivation to make a difference in someone’s life. I have the responsibility to use my privileges to lift others who are equally capable but had lesser opportunities than I did. Along with that, I also want to be a social entrepreneur to make a significant effort in leading our country and our people forward.
