On our Facebook page, Tenzing Sangmu Tamang puts it bluntly, “No one. It’s not like we got this life just to throw it away.”
However, Pravin Bhusal gives it a serious thought. He says, “My mother. I may be a coward but when it comes to my mom, I can stand up to a bazooka.” [break]
It will take more than serious imagining for most of us.
Samikshya Bashishtha says she is unsure about it. “Honestly speaking, I want to be that kind of hero by sacrificing my life for somebody else, but I don’t think I’m that courageous. Maybe I will or maybe I won’t: I’ll only know for sure when I have to face that kind of situation,” she states.
Prasim Gurung says, “Once upon a time, martyrs gladly sacrificed their lives for their country. In films, there are instances where a lover takes a bullet for his loved one. For me, there are my parents, friends, my girlfriend and I’m sure the number will increase in the coming days. But it’s easy to say this now and I’m not sure what I would really do.”
Believing that it’s pointless to just sacrifice your life, Pujan Rijal says, “Courage lies in living your life and doing every possible thing for the sake of the happiness of your beloved ones rather than sacrificing your life for them. Well, I’ve always been good at seeking alternatives. So, instead of being stupid enough to take a bullet, I’m pretty sure that I would find some other way out and help my loved one to make a narrow escape.”
