KATHMANDU: Bidyut Timalsina is just 17 years old, and has been residing in Kathmandu for four months now. He joined the Kathmandu University School of Management as a security guard only 10 days ago. He passed his SLC (now SEE) in the year 2073 and says he has no plans to continue his study as of now. He has four siblings.

He is staying here with his elder sister in Pepsicola, while his younger sisters live with his parents in Kavrepalanchok. Bidyut works 12 hours a day and says he doesn’t get much time to socialize.

He adds, “I want to learn driving as I have a dream to own a car someday. I will take my parents out for a ride in that car and buy them a home here.” For him, happiness is about seeing his loved ones smile and he wishes to live a happy life.
