This is the journey that transformed doubt into action, and one wild idea into the seed of a political revolution.
Politics wove itself into my soul early on, back in my school days in Dang—the good, the bad, the ugly, all of it. I can still see the victory rally when my grandfather won ward chair, his quiet pride as he poured himself into our little corner of Nepal. That memory glows, sharp and warm.
Chapter II: Shadows and Scars
But then there’s the other side: the bloodbath of the Maoist insurgency, the endless political scams, leaders stumbling over their own promises time and again. It left me wondering—is politics even worth it?
Chapter III: Sparks from the Set
Then came Ko Banchha Crorepati… Rabi Lamichhane stepped onto the set. That episode cracked something open. We got wild with it, dreaming up a reality show that could birth leaders who actually give a damn.
Chapter IV: The Leader That Almost Was
The plan? Two seasons of that madness, then launch a political party. The Leader was born—a show with an ex-prime minister, an ex-chief justice, and more as judges, ready to soar. But then COVID hit, and the whole thing ground to a halt.
Chapter V: The Leap
Years later, on Asar 7, 2079, a few of us dared to dream again. We laid the first stone of the Rastriya Swatantra Party… Me—a biotech engineer turned management geek, turned reality show maker, turned creative director—now one of the minds behind a political shift in this country? It’s insane, and I wouldn’t trade it.
