I am just an ordinary person with lots of dreams as any other ordinary person. I never aimed too high, but I believed one day I should do something to make my existence in this world fruitful. After careful consideration, I have realized that a carrier as a Pharmacist will allow me to work toward this goal.
I completed high school from Nepal with Science as my major. I was very receptive and always eager to learn new things.

When I was in Nepal, I visited Hari Thapa, one of my uncles. He was suffering from an ordinary disease, but was prescribed medicines unnecessarily. As a result he had Left-sided Hemiplegia. I was very disheartened by this tragic story, and I wanted to know how the medicines act on the body and if they had any side effects how those side effects could be minimized.
