अमेरिकामा पनि सफल

प्रसन्न मुद्रा, फरासिलो स्वभाव, सादा जीवन र उच्च विचार अन्सना श्रेष्ठ, २४, का विशेषता हुन् । यति मात्रै होइन, व्यावसायिक रूपमा पनि उनी अब्बल ठहरएिकी छन् । हालै मात्र अमेरकिाको बोस्टन युनिभर्सिटीबाट दन्त विज्ञानको अध्ययनमा भएको खुला प्रतियोगिताको परीक्षामा सफलता पाउने पहिलो नेपाली महिला बनिन् उनी ।

बाल्यकालदेखि पढ्ने-लेख्ने कुरामा निकै अगाडि रहेकी श्रेष्ठको नेपाली विद्यार्थीहरूका माझ पनि अब्बल दर्जामा गणना हुन्छ । महेन्द्र विद्या भूषणलाई लक्षित गरी आफ्नो अध्ययनलाई अघि बढाएकी श्रेष्ठले सन् '०४ को त्रिभुवन युनिभर्सिटी परीक्षामा गोल्ड मेडल प्राप्त गरेकी थिइन् । उनी भन्छिन्, "गोल्ड मेडल प्राप्त गर्नु मात्र केही होइन, आफूमा भएको क्षमतालाई प्रस्तुत गर्न सक्नु ठूलो कुरा हो ।"

अन्सना जीवनमा अझ धेरै गर्न बा“की छ भन्छिन् । उनी अमेरिकाको डेन्टल विद्यालयमा पढ्ने अवसर पाउने पहिलो नेपाली महिला पनि बनेकी छन् । नेपालको शैक्षिक स्तर अमेरिकाको स्तरभन्दा केही फरक पाउ“दिनन् उनी । विश्वमा दन्त विशेषज्ञहरूको मात्रा पनि त्यही हाराहारीमा बढ्न थालेको उनको धारणा छ । बिनाकुनै लक्ष्य यस क्षेत्रमा हात हालेकी श्रेष्ठ यसबारे आफूले नसोचेको बताउ“छिन् । भन्छिन्, "अध्ययन सकेपछि नेपाल नै आएर दुःखी र गरीबहरूको सेवामा समर्पित रहने सोच बनाएकी छु ।"

Let's see her going back to Nepal promise!!!!!!

Congrats!! That surely is a marvelous achievement. But I know of at least 3 Nepalese girls that went to or that are in dental schools; thus I doubt the claim that she is the first nepali girl to go to a dental school in US. Is the implication here that she is the first to join one as an international student or that she is the first one at BU? Maybe that's not important. What's stated in the last line is, however. Also, can anyone shed some light on what the 'khula pratiyogita' is all about? From what I know, applicants send all the required materials through AADSAS DMD and are shortlisted for interviews from there.

Shirish dai,
Ani aafnno chai post nagarne?

खै के फाईदा ?

Actually, I posted that because of the false content. I don't understand why people have to do that kind of thing.

There are so many Nepalese women studying Dentistry in US Universities.

Is this the honest mistake of the reporter ?

I have nothing against her personally and professionally.

अन्सना बहिनिलाई बधाई छ ।
पत्रकार ले झुठो लेख्यो वा अन्सना ले झुठो बोल्यो, कुरो चाँही शिरिष जी ले भने जस्तै पहिलो दन्त बिज्ञान पढ्ने नेपाली चाँही पक्कै होइन ।
नेपाल् मा त्यो समाचार् सत्य नै संप्रेषण हुने गर्दछ। सत्य तथ्यलाई जांच परख गर्ने धृष्टता कहिलेइ गरिदैन। अमेरिका मा वातबरण बिज्ञान मा अन्डर् ग्राड् गर्ने ब्यक्ति नेपाल् को सबैभन्दा वरिष्ठ् वाताबरणबिद् छन्, किन कि उनी लाटा देशका गाँडा तन्नेरि हुन्, अंग्रेजी मा बोल्न सक्छन्। स्वदेशि र बिदेशि ले तिनैलाई पत्याएका छन्। नेपाल् सरकार् का सयौं कर्मचारिहरु वातवरण बिज्ञानमा अमेरिका लगायत बुभिन्न मुलुकबाट् मास्टर गरेका र बिद्यावारिधि गरेकाहरु छन्। तिनको गनना हुंदैन किन कि कर्मचारिको आचार संहिता ले झूठ को खेती गर्न दिदैन र गर्दैनन पनि ।
झूठ को खेती गर्ने हरुको जय जय जताततै छन । यो एउटाझूठ ले अर्को जय थपिएला । राम्रै होला, तीनाको लागि ।यस्को अर्थ यो होइन कि अन्सना बहिनिको उपलब्धी चान्चुने छन र प्रशंसा गर्न लायक छैनन । निस्चय नै बधाई का पात्र छिन । झूठ त्याग्नुस्, अझ त्यो भन्दा उच्च सम्मान को हक्दार हुने छन ।

This is a nice achievement to the individual.

About the news, what can u expect from Kantipur??
They make the news as they want to put it for the reader, not as what it is.
I never go for the news in Kantipur.

मेरो पनि बधाइ छ । कहानी झूठो भए पनि कुरा सत्य होला ! सफलताको लागि पुन बधाइ !
शिरिशजीले साचो बताइद‌िनु हुन्छ की, थाह भए !

I congratulate Anjana for her success story but after reading this piece of news and comments, I got a feeling that we have a culture (?) of advertising self or attempting to win fake popularity by some false claims.

No doubt, her story has lost weight by the added spices in the news - the false claim to be first blah blah. We all know that everybody in the world can have something to claim to be the first in the world, which is not necessarily be important unless it comes with a proven and significant impact to human and society.

The media and reporters in Nepal often run on surface. About two years ago, a friend of mine was comparing my bio-data with some others who were described in an issue of Nepal, published by kantipur team. He was saying my bio-data was better than a few of those mentioned in the magazine. I understand I am not a great person because I know many others from Nepal who have done far better than me but they are not known either to nepalese media. Nepalese reporters put little effort to gather information, they hurry to publish, and mostly they tend to pick their relatives and / or peoples they are familiar with.

In my short stay in Nepal, few reporters came to meet me after they knew about me. They were describing me how to apply self-promoting tactices and capitalize lucrative positions in Nepal by using media and connection of media persons. They were even talking about political connections, connections to some established INGOs and peoples dominating the news media. These people were luring me to spend money and were watering their mouth for tips and commission. They proposed me for a full page congratulation advertisement and front page news cover with detailed biography. This was a complete collapse of my faith on the news of success stories in nepalese media.

Some reporters gave me examples how others had used similar tactices to put them in the frontline; how people called and payed reporters for publishing their interview; how anxiously they ran door to door of media houses with their bio-data for publishing a small coverage and so on. But, I did not like those ideas at all. I refused to involve myself in such foul tactics for winning a fake popularity. I could not agree with them and with their ill-fated practices in the nepalese media. I chose not to appear in the news media rather than having sponsered / purchased popularity with exaggerated claims if not false.

Perhaps, my short experience might tell you some aspect of nepalese media and why genuine intellegent people are away from them. It seems this has been a good business in the media and self-apraising society for a long time.

Thanks for your interest.

I don't see the problem with Nepali women, Ansana Shrestha but the way of reporting.

The reporter did not verify the facts. Hyaa bhanera thoki diya cha. .\ or there may be a possibility of herself giving the wrong information, which I doubt.

And I know for sure, Ansana is NOT the first women dentist to study in a US University as claimed. The report is so damning and incomplete that it does not mention when was the exam taken, which kind of exam, on which level etc.? If it said; the first Nepali women dentist in BU then no one would have questioned anything.

Now I begin to question, whether that was even worth reporting ?


Here is an example of some other Nepali Women who have done Dentistry in US:

Dr. Rupa Hamal was born in Kathmandu, Nepal. She graduated with a Bachelors of Dental Surgery from India and worked in Kathmandu for a couple years before moving to the USA in 1993. Her academic background includes a Doctor of Dental Medicine (University of Pennsylvania), Certificate in Periodontics and Masters in Public Health (The Ohio state University), and Masters in Oral Biology (University of Alabama at Birmingham). She has also held teaching position both in University of Pennsylvania and The Ohio State University. She received several awards while at University of Pennsylvania such as The Pass-International Dentist award (academic and clinical excellence award) and was nominated to Omicron Kappa Upsilon (Honor Dental Society). She was also nominated for Who?s who in American Universities in 1996 and a Fellowship award while at University of Alabama.

Currently she is a Periodontist in private practice in Ohio

Is Dr. Hamal a sister of actor Rajesh Hamal?

This reporting is false........I personally know two Nepalese female dentist in LA area who attended UCLA dental school and got their DMD degee ..... I don't undestand why she has given such a wrong information to the reporter or why the reporter has exaggerated her normal progression...... I personally think this report regarding her admission in dental school is not wrorth reporting in a national media............. This is not an extra ordinary achievement.......It's a normal path to enter into dental school as internatinal studentes like other nepalese students majoring in different fields here in US universities...... But the difference is that even after being dentist in Nepal, if somebody wants to practice dentistry in the US, he/she has to get into US dental school and study at least for 2 years spending at least 60-70 K per year as tuition and fees........ which most of Nepalese dentist cannot afford................. Anyway she seems rich or from wealthy family to afford such a high expenditure !!!!!!!!!!

Nepal ki chori
