In this episode, i’ve invited Tony Prajapati Dae. He is 37 years old and from Kathmandu. He is a CrossFit trainer at The Pump gym and also a part owner at the same gym.

He is a cool guy. Having that level of coolness at that age comes with a lot of humility and it shows how much he enjoys living his life.

But he thought he had it best when he was in Australia and when he came back to Nepal after 10 years, he went through the lowest point of his life. And The Pump was the way out for him and he found something which gave him a purpose and a daily routine.

Looking back he says, he is just where he wants to be in his life. He has a loving wife and a little boy and he wants his boy to be kind and have fun and as long as he can do that two thing he believes life will go nicely for him.

He has no regrets and no if’s and he believes age is just a number and nobody should tell you what to do and what not to.

As most of film makers have a dream of being one from their childhood, it was different for Rajeela. Her dream as a child was to earn a lot of money and build a beautiful home and give her parents all that they have sacrificed for her and her sister’s education and bring her best friend [ her father ] back home from abroad and in pursuit of that dream she thought of pursuing CA career which she heard could get her one lakh per month salary and make her rich.

But fortunately just before she was about to start her CA career, she realized that is not what she was destined to be and film making fascinated her and with the support of her family and friends she got enrolled into film making college and then started her film making career.

Now she is a full time film maker and she aspires to create more context and value in Nepali Film Industry with everything she learns and she loves her life, lives humbly and full of gratitude.

LET’S HEAR HIS STORY!

In this episode i’v invited Reeyz Nepal. She is 17 years old which makes her the youngest guest of our podcast so far. She is in 12ᵗʰ standard studying science and her aim has always been to be a doctor since childhood and she is also interested in public speaking.

I really admire her audacity to reach me out and willing to be on a podcast like this because she has always been interested in public speaking since school from participating in school programs to hosting a show as well.

I tried to put her in a situation that almost all of us go through which is deciding what is it you really want to peruse and start questioning about our own aims and dreams and asking - “Is my aim really mine? or Was I influenced to think that way?” - and she gave a really good answer to that.

Having that clarity and awareness at 17 years old was really awesome and we also talked about teenagers’ stress and anxieties from her perspective and just had a really good conversation overall.

I am just happy that I was able to give her a place to put her voice and I am waiting to see where she will be 5 years from now.

LET GO AND HEAR HER OUT !

In this episode i’ve invited Ankit Poudel. He is originally from Butwal but he's staying in Kathmandu pursuing his studies and his passion of being a musician.

He is Eighteen years old. He has just finished his 12ᵗʰ examinations.

Talking about his passion of singing, he has just released his first debut song “Jhari Ki Inderini” which has done pretty good on YouTube reaching 140k+ views and counting and he is also working on his next song.

But the inspiring part is, he’s has done pretty good on singing despite being tone deaf. And that’s one of the worst nightmare for an aspiring singer who has always mumbled songs since his childhood.

After he realized he’s got that disability - he felt like quitting like any normal kid would feel - but he turned out to persevere that and started practicing more and trying to figure an alternative way.

And he did find an alternative way - now he defies his disability by trying to match pitches through vibration of his throat and chest.

I don’t know how he does that but it sounds pretty amazing.

LET'S HEAR HIS STORY.

In this episode I’ve invited Nature [ Prakriti ] Shrestha. She is from Dharan. She is doing her bachelors. She has also started her own podcast @nurturingwith.nature where is talks about self-love & self-improvement while she herself is in the journey of loving herself.

She said she has always hated herself and always focused on the negative side of everything but after 7-8 years of hating herself, she is in her journey of loving herself and that’s what we’re talking about today.

But things didn’t went well because we - Nature and I had high expectations from this talk but the result didn’t made us satisfied and Nature said she would understand if I don’t post it because it wasn’t good.

And something clicked and I decided, I’ll share exactly what is happening - not being able to do good but still trying and this is one of our learning.

& people will like the purest form of us rather than trying to make up things which we don’t know clearly.

So, this podcast is all about trying and being real.
