Born into a lower middle-class family in Nepal, Kaushal Niroula (AKA
Kylie Monali) always had big dreams. Many of his class mates teased and
bullied him for being effeminate but he never let that bother him. He
knew that one day he had to get out of a society where gays were
treated like second class citizens. His classmate Nabin (last name
withheld) from Xaviers School batch of 1998 in Kathmandu says, "people
in our school used to bully him and gave him the feminine name
'Kaulie.' I also remember he was very preppy and flamboyant. He was
interested in acting and theater but often got into trouble for making
up his own lines while acting on stage!" Another classmate Subodh (last
name withheld) from The Kathmandu Academy remembers him as someone who
seemed to be “a sharp person and always very confident, even though
many kids made fun of him behind his back. He told people in our school
stories like he had powerful and rich family in America but no one
believed him. No one with such a rich and powerful family background
would send their kids to The Kathmandu Academy. The academy is
basically an alternative for kids that cannot get into decent colleges”
After graduating his O-Levels from Kathmandu, Kaushal applied to
schools in the United States and was able to convince the US Embassy
that he was a disciplined student who would come back to Nepal after
college. His classmates were shocked to hear that Kaushal got a US
Visa. Subodh said “most of us thought he was lying until he had left
Nepal! We could not believe that someone who failed 10th grade and had
such little resources could make it to the US. It must be because of
his confidence in talking to the counselor.” Since he was a child,
Kaushal always watched American TV channels like MTV, CNN etc. and
tried hard to maintain an American accent. It was as if he always knew
that he wasn’t meant to live in Nepal. His life was waiting for him in
the gay capital of the world – San Francisco, USA!

Niroula
arrived as an F1 student at the New College of California in San
Francisco in 2002. Unfortunately, bad habits die hard and Niroula
started lying and scamming people soon after his arrived. He avoided
associating with Nepalese students probably because they would know his
background and uncover his lies. He started making a lot of American
friends, pretending to be from the “royal family of Nepal with over
$3.5 million net worth.” He quickly became very popular and even got
the attention of his college president, Martin Hamilton. Several staff
members believe that Niroula provided sexual favors to Martin in
exchange for good grades and waiving tuition. Some staff also believed
that Niroula might have led Hamilton to believe that he would be
providing a million dollar donation to the school – money he never had!
Soon the college's auditors placed the school on probation and launched
an investigation which led Hamilton to resign. Niroula claimed that he
never received any favors from Hamilton and said he was "used as a
tool" by faculty members “to bring Martin Hamilton down."
