Shrestha, Nishan; Bucket List

I have been thinking a lot about all the things that I have accomplished in my life. I am even more concerned about the things I haven’t yet accomplished. I have so many places that I want to visit, so many things I would like to do, and so many achievements I have yet to achieve. Hence, I have a bucket list of things that I would love to do, see and accomplish before I die.


I would like to establish an engineering school in my country. There are very few engineering schools in my country. There is one school, the Institute of engineering (IOE), reputedly one of the top Engineering schools in Asia. However, they only recruit 300 students per year. Hence, I believe Nepal needs more Engineering schools so that other students can also get the opportunity to study in a good school. Because Nepal developing country it needs more engineers.


I would like to go to England and watch Liverpool play against Chelsea. I am a big fan of the Liverpool soccer team. They play in English Premier League. I have been playing soccer since I was five yers old. I was inspired by my dad who used to play soccer professionally. He wanted me to be a soccer player and to play for the national team but I chose Engineering instead. Still, I love to watch and play soccer.


I want to go on a world tour. I love visiting new places and meeting new people. There are many countries which differ in culture, religion, and lifestyle. Hence, I want to be familiar with various types of cultures and learn about them. So far, I have been to India, Thailand, and China. I look forward to visiting more countries in future.
