EP18-Happy Valentine's Day - पहिलो प्रेमको सम्झना

In this episode, we fully expose our Nepali school “first love” era — where one 2-second eye contact during assembly meant bihey fixed internally 😂💍. From passing notebook l to writing our crush ko naam on walls and rocks, hami nai romantic film ko main protaganist. Yo episode ma hami dai-bahini milera tyo innocent crush moments, overthinking level 1000, class ko fake excuse, ani adult bhayepachi ko funny realizations sab discuss gareko chau. Turns out it wasn’t deep love… it was just hormones + imagination + no communication skills 😭. If you studied in Nepal, yo episode timro pani story ho. Get ready for nostalgia, chaos, and pure delulu energy. 💘📚

EP17-RAI in the house! what it means to be a आधिबासी in modern day Nepal

Sanjai Rai, a dear and near brother, shares his experience as an indigenous person brought up in rural Nepal, how that transcribes to the modern world.

EP16-Life in a MetroCanada - जिन्दगानी दर्पनछाया

Was it wrong to leave Nepal or is it wrong that we somehow survive as international students in a foreign land? What is wrong, the system that sets people up for failure or not trying too hard? जिन्दगीमा धेरै मानिसहरु भेट्टीछन् , कोही बताश जस्तै आउछन अनि जान्छन् कोही धेरै मिठो साथ र स्मृति दिएर जान्छन्। जो कोही पनि आएका छन् , केहि न केहि सिकाएरनै जान्छन्।  आज को सिख र नैतिकताचै अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय विद्यार्थीको पाठ !

EP15-Why ain't Stability=Happiness? - सम्बोधन तिमीलाई गर्दै छु

Growing up Nepali meant SLC posters screaming ‘Padhne le khane,’ 6 AM tuition before school, and Aama’s daily mantra: ‘Thulo manche bannu parcha! …Happy? K happy?’ Now we’re adults—traumatized by Excel sheets, soothed by podcasts, and stuck between ‘manche le k bhancha’ and ‘what even is my purpose?’ This show is for every kid who got the tiger parenting glow-up (and the therapy bills to match). We’re dissecting the ‘stable job vs. sanity’ debate, surviving cultural whiplash, and remixing our roots without guilt. Because let’s be real: if we don’t laugh about ‘kina 95%? 100% kaha gayo?’, we’ll cry into our momo plate. 🎙️ #TigerParentSurvivors #NepaliAndConfused #storyoflamalife

EP14- c'est la vie - जिन्दगी येस्तै हो मुलासाग !

Nepali by genes, Canadian by citizenship, confused by life. Welcome to season 2 of Wise and Wild, where I fight with the sheer crisis and try to win the weekly battles of what makes our lives the way we are. Nepali culture ma ‘समाजले के भन्चन’, Canada ma ‘therapy is self-care’. My life? A messy remix. Podcast ma sabai kura ‘huss ra thik cha’. A spreadsheet of emotions, a dash of cultural chaos, and 15-20 minutes of ‘WTF am I doing?’—all served with a side of momo and poutine together. For anyone who’s ever Googled ‘Is my life just an unresolved trauma?’ during their lunch break, this podcast is 100% for you. (We’ll get through this. One day. Maybe)
