Taking some time out of her busy schedule of carrying out relief works through The Hidden Treasure to those affected by earthquake in places like Kavre and Bhaktapur, Medha shared with Republica, five things about her that many had not known.She had never watched the entire Miss Nepal show
She did watch bits and pieces of the pageant earlier but the show of 2015 of she had been a part of was her first ever full experience. Why? "Because I thought it was all about outer appearance of a girl," she says. Only during The Hidden Treasure's college campaign did she learn that the pageant was more about the overall personality and intelligence of the participants. "I decided to apply for the contest just two days before the deadline, and I'm glad to have made the decision because this experience has changed me for good. Each day I feel like I'm getting closer to being that complete woman I always dreamt of being," she shares.
She is afraid of small repetitive holes
If she is trypophobic, she is only mildly so. Nonetheless, small holes with repetitive pattern creeps her out. The papaya seeds mostly give her the heebie-jeebies, and so do speakers and sometimes even the walls. "It's quite bothersome at times, but I tackle the situation by running away from the place. You don't have to suffer when you can choose not to look," she says.
She isn't that into gadgets and social media
Medha would rather sunbathe during her leisure than surf the Internet. "I love nature, and I'm not really into gadgets. I have no idea of the latest phones or the apps that are doing the rounds," she says. Although required to post her updates on Facebook, she feels that the social networking site has become a medium for people to blindly follow a trend and not share their true opinion. "It's annoying to know that people are doing certain things because everybody else is doing it and posting it on their profiles," she adds.
She is a good mimic
Medha tends to acquire the qualities of the persons she interacts with. As a young girl, when she returned home from a friend's place, her mother would find out exactly whose place she had been to because she'd have started acting just like them. Building on that quality of hers, she started mimicking people, especially elderlies. She imitated her grandma the best, who passed away around a year ago. "The role of Charimaya was a dramatized version of her," she informs.
She had the "metal phase"
As a Class X student, she was quite a big metal fan. "I used to listen to progressive metal, because I loved how the music built up. But it was just a phase, and I soon grew out of it," she shares. Her favorite metal bands were 'Dream Theatre' and 'Tool.' Today, she is more into jazz and indie. "I just love how jazz involves improvisation and brings spontaneity. I've also done gigs on jazz," she says.
