Minu Jirel with Suyasha Shakya Kathmandu

(Part 4/4) “She treats me like her own elder sister. It was her idea to teach me English. That day, when she showed me the sun and the stars on her laptop, I could not believe what I was seeing. She showed me the earth and I could not believe that is where we are. It made me think that there must be other planets like the one we live in. I then realised that we all are very small compared to the stars and the sun. I asked her many questions, some of which she had no answers to. That day, I felt there is a lot more for me to know. Maybe I will find out, maybe I will not. Sometimes, I fear the future, and other times I am hopeful.”
