"Is it true? Am I really the winner or
are you playing some pranks with me?" Seventeen years
old Pema Sherpa showered me with her anxious queries as soon
as I broke the news that she was our lucky winner to date
with the very handsome and talented Suraj Singh Thakuri. "I'll
be there exactly on time. Have I really won..?" I could
clearly feel her excitement and nervousness as her voice touched
my ears.
Next day, at around 11 am, we (Suraj, Pema
and CyberSansar crew) met at Nanglo Bakery Cafe (our official
sponsor for the date venue).After some introductory chitchats,
I requested Pema to tell me some reasons she adored Suraj
so much. "He is very good looking and I love watching
his show, Call Kantipur. He makes the program very interesting
with his informal style of presentation. I also like the social
topics that he raises in the show." she answered slowly.
Before I could forward another question to her, Suraj got
up, took out a photo frame with his picture inside it from
his bag and respectfully gifted Pema his special gift. "Did
you like my gift? You can hang it in a wall." said Suraj.
Wow! That was very sweet of you, Suraj.
Overwhelmed Pema hastily accepted the gift,
took out her diary and inscribed her date's autograph on it.
Not wanting to disturb the date, we moved towards another
table until the date ended after an hour. "So how was
the date?" I shot a last question to our lucky girl.
"It was great. I found him very frank just as he in his
show. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity."
What about Suraj? "I had never experienced a blind date
so this was a learning experience for me. She is very sweet
and cute."
Pema told me some interesting queries that
she had asked her celebrity date which I have mentioned here-
1.Do you have a pet animal?
-I have a dog but I am very angry with him
because one day as I was bathing him, he got so terrified
with the soap and bit me.
2. Do you help your mom in the kitchen?
-Sometimes. I mostly help her in cleaning the
utensils.
3. Being a part of the
media world, you are friends to many popular singers, how
do you feel?
-It feels good. Some of them are very good friends of mine.
4. What are your hobbies?
-Sleeping. Because of my hectic schedule, I
hardly get enough time to sleep and I always dream that I
will be able to sleep like a log one day.
5. As a child, did you aim of becoming a media
person?
-No, stepping into this field was an accident.
While visiting my aunt who worked in Divyadhristi, she offered
me to anchor a television show and I accepted it. As a child,
I wanted to become an army.
6. Any interesting incident related to your
female fans?
-One day, a girl told me on air that she fasted
for me and in the process she had fainted and was admitted
to the hospital.
