Phutung, Kathmandu, Monday, October 5th, 2015
On the long walk back from Baundeshwor waterfall, I saw Samira sitting in front of a shop and we joked back and forth.
“Mah teemro photo kitchu?” I ask her.
[Would you like your photo taken?]
She smiles widely and nods.
After taking the photo, I squat down with my notebook and ask
“Tapai ko naam ke ho?”
[What is your name?]
As I start writing it down, I confirm with her
“Sarmila?”
“Samira!” she corrects me, and then spells it out for me as I write it down. I laugh.
You tell 'em, Samira!
