The words Research and Researcher were totally new for me at
beginning of 2005/06. Because I was new in town, new in ktm, new in TU J, I was unknown about
it because of lack of information and being far from town because I was born
and grownup in Dhankuta. When I heard I was
being like “huh? What the hell is that? Actually I was in bindaas girl when I was
in Dhaknuta and I didn’t get the opportunity and environment to know all about
it there. Also I never tried to go in a environment like that, I loved to go to
visit, hanging out with friend, watching tv serials specially hindi series ‘Kasauti
jindagiki, kyu ki sas vi kavi bahu thi, kahani ghar ghar ki and all, and wanted
to be like prerana, tulasi, prerana and etc.
When I came to Kathmandu, I met some elites and elders who
wanted to be academist and they pulled me towards their way. And again I got
the chances to sit with them who were activist in Ethnic movements and well
known in Academic sector.
Then I got chance to do Research too. It has interesting
part, I still remember one day one of my friend came to me and asked “ hey,
would you like to do the research in your own caste? SNV Nepal is giving the
grands for it And was being dump J my eyes wide opened
and asked to her “what is that? “ then I started to know about it, lots of
elders supported to me to know the meaning of that and also I got the training to
write a proposal to do the research from one organization (forgot the name),
being as a student’s of population I was not informed about proposal till the
date J .
After having lots of classes finally I was selected on SNV Apprentice
researcher.
