Hello Everyone! How are you all doing? I am fine here and hope everything is good there. The temperature here is not that cold now and starting to get hot. I am regularly attending my college. I am giving my unit test, and tomorrow is the last test. This is just a test to review what our performance is and how well we are studying.
Yesterday, I went to Baudhanath and Pashupatinath, a religious temple of Nepal, with one of the Canadian volunteers, and her name is Katie. She is a sweet person, and it is good knowing her. I gave a tour of our historical knowledge about this temple. She wanted to visit this temple before going to Dang,
and Dinesh uncle gave me a chance to take her there. It is always a fun time when the new volunteers come here, and we get to listen to their experiences. I am so glad that we have the opportunity to meet new people and get the exposure.
In my leisure time, I am knitting a muffler and helping in Khushi Ghar. I am also preparing for the upcoming pre-board exam which will probably be after a month.
Thank you for helping and supporting us. Lots of Love from Nepal!
Finally the day arrived and we had to arrive at the venue by 3. We rushed to the models and did the final fittings. By that time, Dinesh Uncle, Hira Aunt and Bruce Uncle had arrived. As my sequence was on the 4th we had a huge rush backstage that let me meet them only for a brief minute and we couldn’t even click a picture together. Show started at 7. After the third sequence we had the models change into our designs. Finally, our design was on the runway, and we walked at the end of the sequence with our showstopper, Simpal Kharel. While walking on the runway, there were a huge number of audiences, included; designers, press media, journalists, photographers, ambassadors, etc. After our sequence, we went backstage and we really had a roller coaster of emotions. All those sleepless nights, stresses, no meal days and all the difficulties we went through were finally over. It was worth everything. This concludes my three years of learning and we had the chance to showcase it to the crowd and people. After our sequence we finally had the time to breather. All along these past three months it felt as if somebody had put on something in our neck as we were suffocating but now it felt as if it had been let go. We could breathe in peace.
After the runway we had a huge feast and that tasted like the best meal that I had for the entire life.
