Alright got to finally watch the interview and it was not bad. Anita, I do realise that you have a good nepali vocabulary. But I still do not understand why you choose to use english phrases. If only the 7% of your communication could be done in our national language that has been neglected for too long....
Anyway, my point is, if someone is aspiring to be a public figure, he/she should know very well who his/her public is. Majority of nepalese do not go to RatoBangala, nor St.Xavier, nor Little Angles', nor Galaxy. Majority of nepalese do not live in the inner circles of kathmandu. So trying to get your message across to the nepalese public while using many english phrases just comes across as elitist and bourgeois, confined within the safe haven of four 6ft walls in an expensive quarter of kathmandu, driven around by chauffeurs, and who love to shop in Durbar Marg.
This is a general trend in Nepal and very much so in nepalese media. Almost all of the interview programs conducted in nepali, on Nepalese channels have english names. I just don't get it. The 6 questions part in this program could have been (ko, kina, kaha, kahiley, kasari and kay ) instead of Who, Why, What, When, How and Where.
It is my personal opinion. I tend to have more respect and interest in those Nepalese who despite having a very good command of english language choose to speak in pure nepali. At least they are proud of their language and they speak to everyone in the country, to the drivers, to the conductors, to the sellers at the side of the streets, to the farmers, to the porters, instead of just to those who were lucky enough to have parents who had money to send them to an english-medium private school.
