MY ALMA MATER(S)

I completed BA from Prithivi Narayan Campus, Pokhara in 2001 and MA from Central Department of English, Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur in 2004.

COURSE STUDIED

I studied English.

COLLEGE LIFE

College life was merrymaking as well as a learning period for me which cannot be regained.

BEST OF COLLEGE LIFE

Time spent with friends.

LASTING MEMORIES

My friends would request me to paint their girlfriends’ portraits for them.

LESSON LEARNT

I learned morality and ways to live my life to make it meaningful.

WORDS TO HEED

Students these days lack morality and ethics. Students should be honest and become good citizens. One should have fun with friends as well as bear the responsibility to make life meaningful.

HOW TO ACE IN COLLEGE

Be creative and participate in various activities along with working hard on studies.
