Regardless of the plethora of items on a menu, a true Nepali would always go for momos when given a chance. It’s this thought that fueled Niven Amatya’s idea for Bota.There must be hardly any place in Kathmandu where momo shops are not present. But despite of the many other options for good momos, people tend to throng to Bota. Within a year of establishment, Amatya has already set up three outlets inside the Kathmandu valley that are all doing equally well.

One eventful morning, I was getting ready to go to the hospital for regular my check-up. It wasn’t until I reached the hospital, that I found out that my doctor would be arriving an hour late. I couldn’t go home because I would be late for my work if I did, so I decided to roam around Patan Durbar Square. Although I had been to the place several times before, this day managed to change my perspective entirely. I first went to Krishna Mandir and worshipped the god of love and discipline: Krishna. Then I roamed around a little more and rested at a nearby temple. While sitting at the temple steps, my thoughts managed to break the serenity that I was in.

My problems seemed to weigh me down, and the worst part was I would often let it.

11 years ago, the Cricket Association of the Blind Nepal (CAB Nepal) formed the first National Men’s Blind Cricket team in 2006. People had seen blind men play in tournaments but not women. This all changed in 2009 when the CAB Nepal established the first ever Women’s Blind Cricket Team in the world. Despite this achievement, there hasn’t been much advancement in the field of blind cricket. While the condition of this sport is still poor, women have it worse because a gender bias still exists.
