Juggy, apparently you're the one who's hell bent on turning this into a riddle, not I (or many others). The interviewer didn't use a slang. It was a straight forward question to which, the Nepali chap would've been able to answer properly if he had a solid command on English. I'm not ganging up against him (as most people seem to have done on FB) because of his poor English, and I have no problems with him or many others representing Nepal in International conferences for the lack of solid command on Englsih. I just don't like it when people go above and beyond and trying to muster some words to make themselves understood. Just speak in Nepali and fluently. Speaking outside your comfort zone is a big no-no for me. And yes, it's my personal opinion. I'm not gonna burn a tire or bang my head against the wall in shame because of the incident.

गिज्याउने हो? ल गिज्याउनुस् तर वास्तविकता पनि बुझ्नुस् By Salokya, on October 2nd, 2013     अमेरिकाको फ्याउरे खबर (Fox News) को जसलाई पनि उडाउने कार्यक्रममा एक जना नेपाली पनि परेछन्। Fox News का Jesse Watters ले पाए तपाईँलाई पनि उडाउँथे। हामी चैँ के विधि सिरियस भा’का। सरकारदेखि लिएर सरकारी कर्मचारीसम्मलाई गाली गर्दैछौँ। सुदर्शन सुवेदी कुनै सरकारी कर्मचारी थिएनन्, डिप्लोम्याट थिएनन्। सरकारी पैसामा घुम्न गएका पनि थिएनन्। उनीराष्ट्रिय अपाङ्ग महासंघ का अध्यक्ष हुन्। UN को महासभामा NGO को प्रतिनिधिका रुपमा UN Guest भएर गएका हुन्। UN मा अङ्ग्रेजी जान्ने नजान्ने हेरेर पाहुना बोलाइँदैन, उसले सम्बन्धित क्षेत्रमा गरेको कामको मूल्याङ्कन गरेर बोलाइन्छ। पर्वतको विपन्न परिवारमा जन्मिएर पोलियोपीडित भई दाहिने पाटो बेकारजस्तै छ उनको। सानोमा उनलाई कक्षाका सहपाठीहरुले अपाङ्ग भनेर गिज्याउँथे, आज तपाईँहरु अङ्ग्रेजी जानेन भनेर खुब गिज्याइरहनुभएको छ। तर तपाईँ जस्तो अरुलाई होच्याएरमात्र बसेनन् उनी। अघि बढे अपाङ्ग हकहितका लागि। अशोका फेलो बने सन् २००४ मा। अपाङ्ग भएकामा गर्व छ उनलाई। अपाङ्कका मुक्तिदाता हुन् उनी।  अपाङ्गका मुक्तिदाता पर्वतको एउटा विपन्न परविारमा जन्मेका उनलाई दुई छाकको जोहो नै जीवनको सबैभन्दा ठूलो समस्या थियो। पुरेत्याइँबाट बाबुले जोहो गरेको चामल र दक्षिणाले कुनै छाक पेटभर िखान पाउँदा उनीहरू दसैँ आएको अनुभूति गर्थे। त्यही बेला बर्दियामा पुनर्बास आयोजना खुल्यो। उनका बाबु परविारको दुई छाक टार्ने सपना बोकेर मधेसतिर झरे। त्यहाँ परविारको भोको पेटले अन्न त पायो तर उनी लामो ज्वरोबाट सिकिस्त भए र पोलियोको सिकार हुन पुगे। उनको दाहिने खुट्टा अशक्त भयो । यसपछि उनको जीवनले सयौँ हन्डर खायो, अनेकौँ प्रतिकूलताको सामना गर्‍यो। बर्दिया सरेपछि सुदर्शन सुवेदी, ३९, ले आफ्नो जीवनलाई एउटा चुनौतीपूर्ण मोडमा उभिएको पाए। उनको विगत त संघर्षपूर्ण र निरस थियो नै, भविष्य पनि तरनिसक्नुको जँघारमा हेलिँदै गएको अनुभव गरे। आर्थिक विपन्नता र शारीरकि अपाङ्गतासँग लडेर कसरी आममानिससरह सम्मानित जीवन जिउने भन्नेमा उनको मस्तिष्कले खूब कसरत गर्‍यो। उनी टुंगोमा पुगे, नपढी सुखै छैन। पढ्नु पनि सजिलो थिएन। विद्यालय पुग्न ठ्याक्कै एक घन्टा लाग्थ्यो। उनका लागि यो पनि सहज हुन सकेन। तर, सामाजिक काममा अत्यन्तै रुचि राख्ने उनका बुबा अरू व्यक्तिहरूसँगको सहकार्यमा गाउँमै विद्यालय स्थापित गर्न सफल भए। यसबाट सुदर्शनले शिक्षार्जन गर्ने अवसर पाए। यो विद्यालय साँच्चिकै उनको जीवनको वरदान हुनपुग्यो। उनले विद्यालय सके र त्यहीँबाट कानुनमा प्रवीणता प्रमाण-पत्र उत्तीर्ण गरी राजधानी आए। कानुनको स्नातक तेस्रो वर्षको शोधपत्र -थेसिस) लेख्ने क्रममा उनको जीवनले अर्को मोड लियो। आफू अपाङ्ग भएकाले उनले यसै विषयमा थेसिस लेख्ने निर्णय गरे। सामग्री तयार गर्दा अपाङ्ग संरक्षण तथा कल्याण ऐन, २०३९ को अध्ययन गरे। त्यस ऐनको एउटा दफामा अपाङ्ग व्यक्तिलाई जुनसुकै सरकारी शिक्षण संस्थामा निःशुल्क अध्ययन गर्न पाउने प्रावधान छ। उनले ऐनको त्यही प्रावधान देखाउँदै आफूले निःशुल्क अध्ययनको अवसर नपाएका बारे प्रश्न गरे, क्याम्पस प्रमुखलाई। तर, क्याम्पस प्रमुखले टेरपुच्छर लगाएनन्। बरू उनलाई अदालततिर जान सुझाए। उनले बीएल उत्तीर्ण गरेका थिएनन् तसर्थ अदालतमा बहस गर्न उनीसँग अधिवक्ताको लाइसेन्स थिएन। सार्वजनिक सरोकारको रटि दायर गरेरै भए पनि उनले आफैँ बहस गर्ने निश्चय गरे। अर्का दृष्टिहीन बाबुकृष्ण महर्जनसँग मिलेर उनले सर्वोच्चमा बहस गरे। सर्वोच्चले उनीहरूको पक्षमा फैसला गर्दै जुनसुकै किसिमको अपाङ्गता भएको व्यक्तिले सरकारी शिक्षण संस्थामा निःशुल्क अध्ययन गर्न पाउने निर्णय सुनायो। यसबाट सुवेदी अत्यन्तै उत्साहित भए। त्यही बेला राष्ट्रिय मानव अधिकार आयोगको स्थापनाका लागि आन्दोलन चलिरहेको थियो। अपाङ्गहरू पनि काँधमा काँध मिलाएर त्यस आन्दोलनमा ओर्लिए। कैयौँपल्ट तत्कालीन महेन्द्र प्रहरी क्लबको थुनामा जाकिए। बल्लतल्ल आयोगको स्थापना भयो। तर, त्यसपछि आन्दोलनका अगुवाहरूले अपाङ्गहरूलाई दूधबाट झिँगा झिकेर मिल्काएजस्तै व्यवहार गरे। त्यस आयोगमा उनीहरूको एउटा डेस्कसम्म बनाइएन। अनि, सुवेदीले सारा अपाङ्गहरूलाई गोलबद्ध गरी ‘हाम्रा लागि हामी नै’ भन्ने नारामा आन्दोलन थाले। लडाइँका लागि एउटा मोर्चा नै बनाए। अपाङ्गको शिक्षाका लागि सुवेदीले पहिल्यै अधिकार प्राप्त गरसिकेका थिए। अब उनले अपाङ्गको अधिकारका लागि निःशुल्क बहस गर्न थाले। पछिल्लो समय उनी अपाङ्गहरूको शिक्षा मात्र होइन, पहुँचयुक्त शिक्षा अर्थात् हरेक शिक्षण संस्थामा ह्वीलचेयर जानसक्ने भिरालो बाटो बनाइनुपर्ने र अरू व्यक्तिसरहको व्यवहार गरनिुपर्ने भन्नेजस्ता अवधारणाको रेखाङ्कन गर्न सफल भए। उनले थाहा पाउँदा २८ जना मानसिक बिरामीलाई धुलिखेलको जेलमा थुनिएको थियो। उनले यसका विरुद्ध पनि मुद्दा लडे र जिते। यसले सुवेदीको मनोवल झन् उकासियो। सरकारले ०५३ सालमै विदेशी संस्थालाई देखाउन मानसिक स्वास्थ्यसम्बन्धी नीति बनाएर फाइलमै थन्काएर राखेको थियो। उनले यसका पानाहरू पल्टाए र लागू गर्न दबाब दिन थाले। “यसैको फलस्वरूप अब स्वास्थ्य मन्त्रालय अपाङ्ग-स्वास्थ्यसम्बन्धी ऐन तर्जुमा गर्ने तयारीमा छ,” सुवेदी भन्छन्, “हामीले मानसिक अपाङ्ग -बौद्धिक अपाङ्ग) र अशक्तहरूको अधिकार प्राप्तिका लागि सर्वोच्चमा रटि हालिसकेका छौँ।” उनी अपाङ्गहरूका लागि अनुकरणीय हुनपुगेका छन्। त्यसैले उनलाई अपाङ्ग भएकामा गर्व छ। अपाङ्ग नभएका भए सायद उनले यस पाटोमा ध्यान दिने थिएनन्। उनी आफैँ अशक्त छन् तर अपाङ्ग-शोषणको प्रसङ्ग उठ्यो भने उनीभित्र सवलाङ्गको भन्दा दोब्बर स्फूर्ति र जाँगर पलाउँछ। “मेरो जीवनको एउटै उद्देश्य अपाङ्गहरूको अधिकार दिलाउनु हो,” भन्छन्, “मेरो दाहिने पाटो बेकारजस्तै भएको छ तर आत्मबलले मलाई कहिल्यै अपाङ्ग हुन दिने छैन।” साभारः रमण घिमिरे/नेपाल साप्ताहिक अझै गिज्याउने हो भिडियो हेरेर ? ल गिज्याउनुस्। तपाईँको स्वतन्त्रता हो। यसरी गिज्याउँदैमा हरेश खाने भएको भए दाहिने खुट्टा बेकम्मा भए पनि उनी युएन पुग्ने थिएनन्। गिज्याउनुस्, वास्तविक अपाङ्ग को हो प्रष्ट देख्नेछ संसारले।

Let's create a commission on finding more proof to support claims on Mr. Subedi, so that Vhotee will backoff and finally say he believes it now. How easily the burden of proof is upon Mr. Subedi, not the person who is slandering him. The point is, you don't need to know any of his credential to give him a benefit of doubt. I think Juggy printed the scenario eloquently. Fact is, the clip might be funny but we don't need to be ridiculing the gentleman or calling him a disgrace. whether he has done good deeds or not.

Kiddo · Oct 2, 2013 5:10 PM

The purpose of the program was to make mockery of UN delegates. Do you guys think is that all what he said to the interviewer? Many things might have been edited and just that funny part was exposed. And we all find that is too funny but not a bad or embarrassing thing. Common guys why cant we digest just a simple humor? Americans who are watching this thread might be revolving their eyes not necessarily because of this video but because of the way we are discussing here. At the end it does not matter how a person speak or how a person think, but how the whole community think. And here we are again. Now let us all say Buddha was born in Nepal, and Mt. Everest is in Nepal and feel utmost proud at these. ~ sarcasm.

Khairey · Oct 2, 2013 5:14 PM

Riddle dont take me wrong bro but do you really think we shouldnt  do anything that we dont know? Like speaking english was beyond his comfort zone does that means he should have  never tried speaking it.. By now we all know his ability to speak english and i think man makes mistakes  not to make mistakes again. He now know how much he can speak and may be he will try doing better next time but theres nothing so serious to laugh or make fun and big deal out of it ( I can see on FB people talking shit about him). Vhootee: Couple of question for you if you dont mind answering 1. So You think who come to america should/ must have a prior knowledge of english?(Mandatory)? 2. What if that person was appointed for his work (if it is real what it says on blog) and was asked to join the comitee and had no enough timeframe to start learning english? He should have said "No because i dont know how to respond people in english"?. 3. Aaba Nepal ma bhayeko manche le sabaile ekdin ma america janu parchha hola bato ma bheteko manche sanga english bolnu parcha hola bhanera english padna thalnu? What if  they dont have the same oppurtunities  that we had.? 4. If anyone approches with the camera, he might have thought its ok to face it than to run away. Whats wrong with it? PS : tyo manche na mero bau pati ko na aama pati ko and i  am not defending him for any reason. I just couldnt understand some points made on comments.

mikel · Oct 2, 2013 5:26 PM

Kiddo You don't get the point. How is this incident about a person who could not say a word other than "Rice" became his resume warfare. It is irrelevent. He could be God for I care. The thing we are discussing there is "Did he make a fun of himself".  So what he is a good person, should be be excused for everything beacuse he has done some good deed, atleast according to your blog. I'm sorry I'm a Nepali and was brought up with doubts. Last time I checked that back in Nepal, people usually don't reach to that level with honesty and hard work. Maybe I grew up in the wrong part of Nepal. See, the Nepal I was born usually have diplomats that are relatives of leaders with no experience. Nepal I was born was all "source and force", nothing was honest. Maybe not the part of Nepal you were born. Go ahead, say I'm a lier and these things don't happen, go ahead if that makes you happy. For some people to believe a blog (my sansar kinda crap) and insist on the credibility to shove it up on our face, probably meand something bigger. You dragged his resume on this matter, not us. So now you're upset if I saw I don't buy it? Are you sure you are not related to this chap? Family? Friends? Let me guess, you come from a diplomatic family? Last edited: 02-Oct-13 05:49 PM

So any one can wear a dhaka topi and embarrass themselves in public and bring down the whole Nepalese community in Sajha and facebook down to their knee. I wonder what would American or Russian or even Indian would have done over someone embarrassing themselves in public. Well, no need to tell. I know the answer. If I were that Subedi dai, I would have shown a big middle finger here and said mind your own business sucker. Ps: I, myself, not minding my own business. But sometimes it is fun trolling.

Khairey · Oct 2, 2013 6:11 PM

Leave Mr subedi alone,    I might have hint of what happened in his head. He was brainstorming words to describe how awesome Nepali food is and then slowly images of food started floating in his head and all he could muster was "Rice", "Rice","Rice".  He might have not understood what cuisine means but he definitely understood what food meant. It is just that he was thinking to put it more eloquently. If you think about it, he was perfectly right, Nepali cuisine typically means "Rice","Rice","Rice" as an average Nepali consumes it twice a day.

vasudev · Oct 2, 2013 6:50 PM

 why can't we nepalese take humor as humor. why do we always make big deal out of nothing?? Its just a gag. Move on..it ain't the end of the world. 

nayapidi · Oct 2, 2013 8:38 PM

nayapidi · Oct 2, 2013 8:42 PM

Pretty soon, this guy will have an online blog saying he has a Noble Peace Prize. Keep it rolling folks, even more enticing. I'm out. Peace.

Vhootee · Oct 2, 2013 11:28 PM

With his genuine identity and pictures in the website and news about him, I believe Mr. Subedi more than this anonymous and just a troll Vhoote.

Khairey · Oct 2, 2013 11:56 PM

 @Vooteee !  It sounds like you think he can't get Noble peace prize coz he can't speak english .wHat a lame mindset u've dude..seriously ,a person who's named anonymous (votteee) thinks he's better than anyone else from Nepal coz he can speak better english .Yeah u better be out from here than just trolling over sajha.get some life btw.

I think he has come very far; I made my comment thinking of a corrupted diplomat or a NGO worker. I was wrong on this. I applaud for his achievements, wish him the best and support for his noble cause. We need more people like him than the ones who can speak only good english. I hope his agenda and cause can get more support and publicity.
