USYC 2014: Two Days of Lifetime Momento

So, You’re Anisha Pokharel?’

‘Yess’- I replied with a sigh.

‘Why are you so late?’

‘Umm, I was busy searching wild cats in the Himalayas’

Seriously?? (They make faces; some with surprise and some with disbelief)

Welcome to US Embassy Youth Council Nepal 2014

That’s how it started…..

53 cool people from nook and corner of the nation

Were interwoven into a single chain of change

Engineers, doctors, journalists, artists, environmentalists, lawyer

Entrepreneurs to many talented youths from diverse fields.

Driven by the motive to rebuild the society

Breaking all the boundaries, injustices and discrimination

We vowed to make a difference and lead

And accomplish our mission of global good.

Despite being late, I was welcomed heartily

Introduction, chitchats, gossips and all those midnight mastiz

Things can’t be better when we all got on the dance floor

And go wild as if there’s no tomorrow.

Inspirational figures and encouraging works

Reminds us of our roles that we gotta do

It’s high time to dream Big and SMART

So, guyz lets make it happen without much ado.

We won’t believe in the saying’ Youth is wasted on young’

Coz we’re intelligent, smart, vibrant, active and powerful

Most importantly, we make fun out of everything

That’s what makes us special from the rest.

I do agree that road ahead is tough

We’ll be swarmed by the bugs of hurdles

But we refuse to stop fearing the unseens

We may lose our sight but not our vision.

We’ll rise from the ashes like a phoenix

To convert our hopes into realities

To create the world we wish to see

To bring the best out of ourselves……
