“Recently, during a guest lecture on professional skills for undergraduate students, I dropped the F-bomb.”
What happened?
“It gets to me when I see uninspired youth. And I can’t teach professional skills in 1.5 hours. Ok, this is what I said, “You have no idea how lucky you are to be born in such a beautiful country. You don’t have to start working when you are 16. You still have your parents to take care of your needs. You are so lucky that you get to sit here and just study, not having to worry about what you gonna eat or how you gonna pay your rent, about moving out, finding a place to stay.” I get very passionate when talking about my beliefs so maybe I started being really expressive. And then I don’t know how it happened. I had said, ‘You are so fucking lucky so don’t fucking blame it on the country. Get up and do something.’ and it was already too late. I just wanted to wake them up.” (Pranayna KC, Met her in Lazimpat, Kathmandu)
