An excerpt:
...
It’s great to be able to catch up with family. I am hoping to go back to Nepal. I am hoping to be able to take my daughter with me, who is only 15 months now, so when she is a little bit older she can have some memories as well like I did. Because the first time I went after I was born was when I was 7 and I still vividly remember Nepal. When I went back when I was 13, it was so different. And I am sure now when I go back it is going to be even more changed.

Kiran! you go girl!

Kiran! I would say, with due respect to your opinion but Peter Jennings is a big time lier. He is one of the persons who has been, in recent memory, been involved in the cover up and in broadcasting of misleading information on the Kennedy Assassination. As a journalist, he should not have been involved in the most bizarre conspiracy in the entire history of the United States.

Diane Sawyer? Yes, what a elegant lady she is/appears.

Hi Mr Hyde -

Thanks for posting the link. I found the interview to be very informative about Kiran the person. Found this bit to be very interesting about how she sees herself.

Best regards.

And this is about being a “South Asian.” Because you don’t really seem like a South Asian unless somebody does some research on you! There are very few South Asians actually doing major shows on cable television in the US. What does being a “South Asian” mean to you?

I define it in a more narrow term. I feel that being half-Nepalese is my heritage, something I have always grown up being proud of and living with. It’s never been something that I dwell on a lot; I think that it’s just my life, it’s who my family is, it’s who my father is. My cousins, many of them that are my age, are here in the US, either studying or now have jobs here. And that is just a part of our culture. And I have lived straddling both.

But you are right, when people look at me they don’t necessarily say, “Wow, Kiran must be Asian” or “Kiran must be from Nepal.” But I think that when you get to really know me and you spend any time with my family, you see what an influence it is. Since my father is from Nepal and that is what I grew up around. It’s just me.
