would like to ask permission to leave...nameste! (thank u)
thats one point of view, another point of view is that whenever we get the opportunity to
bring people like you in front of media...we also learn a great deal of things.
we learn so much from people like you
looking back my life, i may have done many interviews from different sectors but
people who do less for themselves yet give to others..meeting people like you, we also
feel we learn and i feel richer as a human being..so thank you for that.
how old is pushpa right now?
29, dai(brother)!
first interview you were 26, right?
yes!
i used to feel surprised at the age of 26 when people go to disco, durbar marg..
pushpa goes to jail, helping innocent kids in jail ....
Seeing the varieties in life, i used to get fascinated.
now, that time and now...in between, public exposure has increased greatly, isnt it?..
cnn also made a film about you, right?
yes
how do you feel?
i feel good.
looking at life, how do feel about life right now
looking back in my life, i feel like this life is the best life i have.
because i am not alone, i have my kids, i have my work, many things.
But, in somethings i feel bad also.
But, when i am around the children... thats my most beautiful life.
some people dont get this life. but i am very fortunate i got this life.
people say your life is comfortable..looking at that, it looks comfortable...
people say you are in cnn and media but i feel .. yes, its very good right now
but in many things there are difficulties as well
like?
i cannot stay with my family.. i have big commitment for my organization.
Also, you never know there is risk always. today i am here, doing interview with you, right..
there anything can happen i feel life is uncertain but there is slight worry in heart
what do you mean anything can happen?
like i am here, those kids might injure themselves, i feel anything can happen..
because i have this organization, those kids are everything.
it took 8 years to come to this stage but it doesnt even take 8 sec for this to fall down.
so i have that fear..i have many fears in this work
Once Sir Edmund Hillary told me, when i was just starting in television i got the opportunity
to interview him - he being the first person to climb mount everest.
i asked him "what is the most difficult thing about Mount Everest?"
he said climbing mount everest in itself isnt that difficult thing but staying in the peak
is very difficult because there is very little space and very little oxygen.
and he used to say in english "climbing everest is no big deal my boy, staying on the top is
because there is so little space and so little oxygen"
and he also used to say "it applies for mountaineering and it applies for any other walk of life"
you feel that, dont you?
yes
and what did you see as the benefits of being famous in young age?
umm..regarding beneifts, right now getting appreciated by nepali people, people say
everywhere politics is not working, things are not working out but in someway
things are working out for those who are working.
you know that we cant change everything but at least from our small efforts, we can bring change.
but, after being famous, there are more helping hands. Both positive and negative you have.
Right now, When we read newspaper, watch news about the country, we see negative news all around.
But, Once in a while here and there news of people doing good deeds those people who are sacrificing to change other
peoples' lives like you also come out.
do you feel if there was political stability in the country people doing positive
things like this will get more help or get more inspired. do you feel like that or not?
yes, i do feel that dai(brother) because even when i come from abroad there are so many
nepali who are abroad, even those who dont even know how to write....i feel really bad
because the political situation is like that. but i feel for young youth like us, there is more
opportutnity in our country. what i feel is that there are many opporutnities in my country
you dont get this opportunity by staying abroad.
but if you stay here, of course you will need hardwork
but you shouldnt feel disappointed...yes, there is no petrol, not many things...but this is what
life is, isnt it? you dont get everything..if there is no petrol, then you should walk. stop complaining
we dont have this, we dont have that! do it! even in our case, manytimes we didnt have gas to cook food
we have to search...whether to burn wood to make briket..we have to search for alternatives.
by saying i dont have gas, i shoudnt go in front of shop and demonstrate. you have to find alternative.
here, what i want to find out is that the youth we have, especially from cities, or village
they keep saying there are no opportunities in Nepal. what is your thought on that?
no, thats a mistake. here you have more opportunities. There is no where more opportunity than in your country.
even in my case, if i had gone to US 8-9 years ago, what would have happended?
but staying in own country, you need to look for opportunity but in that opportunity you have to
move ahead.. it doesnt have to be big...even by starting from something small , keep faith..it will happen
we say there are opportunities, is that in some sector or every sector?
its in every sector dai!(brother) even in poultry farming, vegetable, mushroom, every sector there is opportunity
before, when we did program, parents complained my daughter is spoiled, started doing this type of work, isnt it?
now, how is the situation?
Now, daddy is happy. But, he has fear as well..but now since people have started appreciating, this work is good. when they
say this work is good, your daughter is doing a good job, dad is very happy. mom is definately happy but
dad is happy now.
that time they were sad werent they?
yes, you shouldnt be doing this work..you should have done some personal business..they had this thought
anyway, this has been good for Pushpa.
yes!
so in this sector of social work, there might be educated famous people, like people like you who have come in CNN or
people who are doing work quietly in some far corner in village..at one point puspha was also a girl in the latter category, isnt it?
yes!
