My Reflections

Why This Project Matters:

This project is a dream that came to life. I’ve always felt a deep urge to capture the unspoken history carried by our elders. Katha Hijo Ko gives me a purpose—to record these voices before they fade, and to honor the people who built the world we live in today.

Favorite Memory:

Riding across eastern Nepal on a scooter, stopping wherever a story called us, and the day we interviewed an elder who once helped build the East-West Highway—none of it planned, but absolutely unforgettable.

What I’ve Learned:

I’ve learned that stories don’t need to be dramatic to be powerful. Sometimes, a quiet sentence from an 87-year-old says more than a whole film ever could.

Who Inspired Me:

My inspiration came from many places—my grandmother’s stories, my love for cinema, and a longing to preserve something meaningful before it's gone forever.

Favorite Elder Story:

Each story is unique, and I find them all fascinating. I love this project because every elder’s tale carries something special—each one is meaningful, moving, and worth remembering.
