This article was written by me for Saathi Sanga Manka Kura which is the centerpiece of UNICEF’s communication initiative for young people which is the first radio program produced by the young people for the young people in Nepal. You can also listen online here!
My writing and what I have projected may differ from your encounters and experience. This is written from my personal point of view.
Letter – is a film by Samten Bhutia and this movie has Uttam Pradhan making a sort of come back to Nepali silverscreen. The trailer hits the spot perfectly, it leaves you wanting more – or atleast wanting to watch the movie. I was very impressed, even previous Nepali movies; those that have been made well have kinda failed to deliver in trailers but Letter similarly to Batch No 16 builds the pace up quickly yet leaving the audience wanting more. I likes! Hope you likes too.

O and the picture below is sent in by a friend. Impresssive! haa
In 2010, being crowned Miss Nepal First Runner Up brought in more opportunites to learn more experiences, live my crown and interact with prominent personalities. (I was one of the very few people who got an opportunity to meet The NASA Administrator, Charles F. Bolden 🙂
The Crown keeps unfolding interesting events my way and I really dont know what I have yet to experience. 🙂

| Miss Nepal Trio – Sadichha, Sahana and Sanyukta |
Coming back to Miss Nepal, even before the pageant you were already a familiar face in the media circuit. Do you feel as if you had an unfair advantage in comparison to the other contestants?Being a familiar face in the media has nothing much to do with the competition. As we enter our training hall, we are all treated the same. We get the same grooming and the equal training. But outside the training hall, to the audience and the media, to be honest, I suppose I did. I might have got a little more preferance and coverage but again, at the end of the day, it was “ME”, all by myself, who had to fight the competition. Being a familiar face is actually a burden as you have more hopes on you and it kind of builds a pressure, which isn’t an advantage but definitely unfair, to the person.

More than being a media personality, my work experience was a bonus point. I was a host for a talk show, Yugantar, on Image Channel, where I interviewed, women from all fields from politicians to activists, which definitely broadened by knowledge,boosted my confidence on screen and built up my personality.
You’ve completed the main duty by going to Miss Earth, is there anything left for you to do?Yes, my main duty, that came along the crown, representation in Miss Earth 2010 is complete but my reponsibility towards the society will never end, even after I crown the next Miss Nepal Earth.
This title is a benefit to my name and I will make the best out of it. I am already working on my first documentary on Chhaupadi- A custom of forced isolation for women menstruating in West Nepal. Every year, number of girls and women lose their lives due to low hygiene and snake bites due to the isolation. This is so far the most challenging project so far in my life as I myself will be experiencing the tradition and village life. I will start shooting in February 2011.

| Sahana long-before Miss Nepal |
Miss Nepal is a represenation of all the women of Nepal and most importantly, our country. So read a lot, make yourself aware on issues, it helps you grow and build interesting conversations with people.
Learn about your country and countrymen and feel pride in being a Nepali because you will get a life time opportunity to represent your nation to the world in international beauty pageants. Please do start working out atleast 3 months before you enter the pageant. If you want to look good, you will have to go through a little hardship. And most important of all, start building a positive attitude and be comfortable in the person you are!

What would you like to achieve in 2011?I have actually sorted out my To-Do list for the year 2011. It will be all about chasing my dreams of making documentaries and working for underprivilidged women and children. Also, melting of Himalayas due to climate change has also caught my interest, so definitely something in the field of environment too. And a little for myself, more makeups and hopefully some Choo’s :).
Finally, thank you for your time. Any last words for lexlimbu.com surfers?If you could finish reading my interview, then WOW you guys have great patience. Thankyou for supporting me and liking my work so far. Much love !!!
