How are you, my dear?

I'm a bit weak,

but it's okay.

And you?

I'm also okay.

And how is our daughter doing?

Can't you ask for time off from work?

When are you coming to see her?

It may not be possible right now.

We have a big deadline for the World Cup.

Also, I started working here only seven-eight months ago.

Let's see.

Why is she crying?

Maybe she is hungry.

My dear,

what should we name our daughter?

Asha.

Please name her Asha.

And...

is the priest coming over for the naming ceremony?

Since you are working abroad,

he has agreed to come.

Hello, hello!

Hello!

-A pack of cigarettes, please. -A cup of tea too?

Yes, please.

The Lord took the man and

put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and care for it.

And the Lord commanded the man

You are free to eat

from any tree in the garden

but you must not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil

for when you eat from it

you will certainly die.

The Lord said...

Hello.

Okay, I'm coming.

I don't even get to enjoy a cup of tea.

A sign of prosperity?

I'm off.

Passengers travelling from TIA to Doha

with the Nepal Airlines, Flight No. 773

please proceed to Gate No. 2.

How you're doing?

Your cargo arrived on the first flight from Qatar.

-Hold on a second. I'll be back. -Okay.

This suitcase came with the cargo.

I'll put it in the back.

-Okay. -Have a safe trip!

Ten litres, please.

-Thank you. -Bye!

Welcome back to the show. After the timeless song by Jhalakman

we still have a few mysterious true stories left to share.

I think we have someone on the line.

Hello, who is this? Where are you from?

Namaste, I'm Kumar from Nagarkot.

-Welcome to the show, Kumar. -Thank you.

Kumar, you have a strange true story to share?

Yes, I have a small incident to share.

While I was on my way to the office this morning

I was stuck in the traffic near the airport so I was looking around.

I saw a strange-looking man at the bus stop.

He was dressed like a worker in Qatar

and was dragging a small suitcase.

His suitcase hit a bump and popped open.

He rushed to pick his stuff up and put it back.

He was looking around as he closed his suitcase.

Just at that moment our eyes met.

I didn't see exactly what he picked and put back.

But caught a peek inside before he closed it.

To my surprise the suitcase was empty.

When our eyes met, I had a strange feeling.

I felt cold inside.

His eyes looked tired

and his face was lifeless.

Kumar, when did this happen? Did you say today?

Yes, this is from today.

As I drove past I turned to look at him again

but he was not there

he had vanished.

But I'm...

AUTO REGISTRATION: BA. 8 CHA. 4125

Time for a short commercial break, please stay tuned.

We still have more interesting true stories to share.

Dhe village is almost empty as locals continue to migrate.

Desertification is rampant due to climate change

which is displacing locals from their roots.

Many settlements in Upper Mustang share a similar fate as Dhe.

So, locals from other villages are also leaving en masse.

Due to political, financial and environmental restraints,

thousands of Nepalese youth are forced to emigrate.

At the moment, more than a million Nepalese

are working in the Middle East alone.

Where are you headed?

Far?

If you need some help,

let me know.

My house is nearby.

Do pass by.

How far is Beyul village?

It's far

around

4 to 5 hours for sure.

Why don't you rest here tonight?

How is the road?

Terrible.

Typical Nepali road.

It's even worse at night.

If you agree with me.

Stay here.

If you leave very early tomorrow

it will be easier for you.

Is it possible to get something to eat?

I don't have much to offer.

I have some leftover momos.

Some leftover momos.

Should I bring them?

Thank you.

I feel bad

serving cold momos.

I could not warm them for you.

I'm not that hungry anyway.

It's alright.

If you are done, can I have the rest?

Okay.

Momo is very good.

It can't be wasted.

Why are you in such a rush?

Why don't you bring your vehicle and park it close by?

It's okay. I don't want to be a bother.

Don't worry.

Feel free.

Just move your vehicle and park it close by.

Okay.

Do you drink?

A bit?

Sure, just a bit.

I'll drink then.

Please do.

I think

I'm really ill fated.

I should have died there in the war.

You were badly betrayed.

I should have died in the forest of Jammu-Kashmir.

At least I would have escaped this ill fate.

What a sad story.

If it's alright

why don't you share your story as well?

But only if you want to.

What can I say?

Am I fortunate or unfortunate?

Maoists dragged our teacher from the classroom and took him away.

They tied him to a nearby tree with his own muffler

then

stabbed him repeatedly.

As if that was not enough for those scumbags, they shot him in the head.

I fled the village that day.

You must all study well.

I remember those parting words of our teacher.

But, who knew

that was to be my last day in the school.

January 17th 2003.

After that

I came to Kathmandu and went through a lot of hardship.

You can't imagine what I didn't do just to survive.

You are really fortunate then.

Fortunate

and me?

At least you are physically intact.

Not all are that lucky you know.

Maybe you are right.

Sometimes having no luck at all can also turn out to be good luck.

Then I started transporting the boxes.

I think, I tried everything just to survive.

I think you are brave.

All the way from Kathmandu

transporting the box.

Alone.

You are really brave.

No matter how hard it may be

someone has to do it.

So many people...

How did they all die?

I don't know.

All I can see is a wooden box.

All I know is where the boxes came from.

It's written on the box.

And that's all I know.

Our government is responsible for the death of all these young people.

Where is the government?

Where is it?

Do we even have a government for the poor and the oppressed in this country?

What we have to face in this line of work?

Let's not recall it now.

But, one thing is for certain.

Since I started transporting the boxes

I just hope that no Nepali has to die on foreign soil.

But what can we do?

What should we do?

These scumbag politicians are never going to change.

This country is not for the young.

In this country,

young people have no future.

It's really sad.

If it goes on like this

there will be no youth left in Nepal.

Can you imagine

4 to 5 companies are transporting the boxes every day.

Nonstop.

When I return after one delivery, another box is waiting for me.

This month

including this one

I have already transported 21 boxes.

If it goes on like this

this country will be totally empty.

Nepal won't exist anymore.

A bit more?

No, no, it's enough for me for today.

I have to leave early tomorrow.

It's okay.

I will drink some more.

I don't have a present or a future.

Please accept it.

No. Put it back.

Take it please.

No, just put it back.

Where I'm today

I don't have use for it anymore.

I thank you for your good deed.

I salute you.

This is the least I can do for you.

You can sleep inside.

-No, no. -Your vehicle is safe here.

No, thank you, I must follow protocol.

It's a regular thing for me. I will sleep in the vehicle.

I will leave early tomorrow.

I may not see you

but I will stop by again on my way back to Kathmandu.

Thank you. Bye.

Who is it?

It's me. Please open the door.

Dhane?

Yes, my dear.

Our daughter.

Asha...

Asha...

Let me prepare some food for you.

No, it's okay.

I'm not hungry.

I'm very thirsty, just give me some water.

You really don't want to eat anything?

I'm not hungry.

I'm very tired.

I want to rest now.

Beyul - 30 KM

-Excuse me! -Yes?

How do you get to Dhan Bahadur BK's house?

Just go straight, turn left, it's just behind.

-Just up there? -Yes.

Is this the house of Dhan Bahadur BK?

Yes. I'm his wife.

Didn't you get a call from Kathmandu?

No, I didn't get any call.

Why?

Are there other people at home?

Just a moment.

Are there other people at home?

I need a signature. Her signature.

-Excuse me! -Yes?

Wasn't there a tea shop at this location before?

Yes, it used to be a tea shop.

But the owner hanged himself a few months ago, on that tree over there.
