I literally wept reading the recent blog by Rahulvai. I am very much amazed with his accomplishment given the adversity he faced in those years. He is a true fighter and I salute his spirit and devotion for the cause he holds as dear. I wish him success in all his future endeavors. Rahulvai, Keep walking and do not give up until you find what you were seeking from the beginningl.

Rahulvai,
My hats-off to your very inspiring and touching story!

You are the perfect role model for many young inspiring and talented kids back home who are struggling to balance their family struggle for daily needs and educational opportunity to explore hidden talents.

On the side note, I and my brother sponsor scholarship awards through our grandmothers educational foundation to 12 underprivileged students per year back in our district.

It touched my nerve when I was reading your story lines...."त्यो सुन को तक्मा पनि परिश्रम कै फल थियो, खुशी लाग्यो नै। मैले अर्जेको त्यो चौथो पदक् थियो।
साथमा महिना को ५० रुपैया को दर् ले छात्रब्रित्ती पनि दिए।
ठुलो राहत् थियो, त्यो सुरो को ६०० रुपैया पनि। केहि नपुग पुस्तक र मसलन्द किनियो। बाकि रहेको पैसा ले एक् जोर् जुत्ता किनियो। घर् मा आर्थिक् बोझ सके सम्म न परोस् , मेरो चाह त्यहि थियो।...... " about scholarship and how valuable it was!

You as a great role model may want to think about opening an EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATIOIN which will inspire, support and help bright and talented underprivileged students in Nepal. So that Nepal will have more future stars like yourself RAHULVAI! Anytime you decides, I am ready to pitch in to your Foundation!!

At last, I should dmire and congratulate your achievement!!!

Corection to my previous posting... It should been "At last, I should admire..." instead of "At last, I should dmire.."

Proposing to declare Rahulvai the Sajha Person of the Year 2064
=======================================
It is clear to me that Rahulvai is an embodiment of struggle, hopes and achievement of an ordinary person and that's why it is an extraordinary story which is beyond alll jeolousy, condescence and snobbery. While one may argue that his goals and achievements are entirely personal and therefore do not deserve to be applauded from a societal perspective, I still believe that he is a role model to so many people who have potential and dreams but not no hopes. Like Nilkantha, he drank poison to live and not die. Ashu appropriately acknowledged, his is a story of "raw authenticity". So, my suggestion is to declare him officially "The Sajha Person of the Year 2064" due to the following reasons:
(1) He is an ordinary person with extraordianry struggle, achievements and hopes.
(2) He believes in sharing his story to others to inspire them.
(3) He does not complain but tries to make the best of what he has. He shows there are choices in life and we can always choose the better ones.

Let us honor him so that he knows he is not alone in his fight and struggle. However, this is just a proposal and you may ignore or laugh at it.

(N.B.: Please be informed that I have no vested interest in proposing this. I do not even know his real name. I have no personal communication with him other than what I have posted here about him).

I agree with xanthipee.

His blog is the most read in Sajha in shortest period.

Rahulvai,
You are truly a very inspiring person. Thanks for sharing your story with us, and I'll pray for many more medals for you in the days to come. Even though it was very disheartening that you were not able to get your baba's medal back, you were able to make him proud of your continued achievements, and for him, I'm sure that was much more pleasant.
I wish your lifestory could be published in some national publications so others can learn to keep the faith just like you did all your life. I look forward to seeing more posts from you.
Best Regards.

balla kathaa padhne mauka milyo, jindagi ke ho rahul dai sanga sodhnu parne hunchha aba. Salaam mero pani.

The most striking moment is when jubiliant Rahule arrives home after winning Quiz contest for ASCOL, he finds darkness at home.. What a contrast in his external and internal environments:

"बा लाई हस्पिटल् लगेको छ, दाइ र मामा त्यतै छन्, भर्ना गर्नु पर्छ रे।" भाइ ले एक् सास बाट् सारंश बताए। कहिले लगेको अस्प्ताल्, के भएको? भनेर जिज्ञासा राखें, भाइ लाई नि के थाहा, थाह् छैन भने। अनि के भनेको छ हामी लाई भन्दा, बिहान को तरकारि छ र चिउरा छ त्यहि खानु र अस्पताल् अौनु पर्दैन भनेको छ ।
त्यहि चिउरा र तर्कारि खाएं।

Rahule, I read your story for second time. It was equally touching.. I would like to know where are you now? (In nederlands?).. what about your brother? ..

Connection Failure

very touching one from Rahulbhai... salute to you. I wish you all the best. I am sure you will achieve many more things in life. Good luck.

मेरो नि स्यालुट जोड्नुस् हजुरलाई । अनि यो धागो शुरु गरेर धेरैजसो माझ राहुलदाइको कथा पुर्‍याउन मद्दत गर्नुभाको Xanthipee लाई नि धन्यवाद । फेरि पढें, फेरि आँखो रसायो

Rahulbhai is indian who wants to spread bad message among us about Terai's people.

Rahulbhai is brother of Jwala Singh and cousion of Lalu prasad.

Tarai people were fighting for their rights, but rahulbhai claimed that they were fighting for the seperate country.

Rahul bhai gaya bhand men.....
