The directors of the popular TV show Tito Satya, have been entertaining and counselling school students across the country after classes resumed from the beginning of this week, after nearly a month of school closure caused by the April 25 quake. The duo have also come up with an arrangement whereby the schools will provide free education to orphans and poor kids in exchange for the services that Giri and Niraula provide. The Post’s Anup Ojha caught up with the comedians before they were to conduct a therapy programme at V S Niketan School and talked to them about their recent work with students.
/>Deepak: I was in my car, just about to reach home. When the jolts started coming, I thought somebody was pushing my car. I figured it must be mischievous neighbourhood kids pushing my car. And I actually shouted at them to stop shaking my car. There was nobody around, and yet the car kept moving to and fro. That’s when I realised that we had been hit by an earthquake.
Deepa: I had just reached Pepsicola, where we had scheduled a Sunday meeting for the annual Teli Awards 2072. The award ceremony was scheduled to be aired live on 13 TV channels all over the country. I was going to television presenter Prakash Subedi’s house to discuss the matter. I had just made a stop to buy some fruits and was getting back into my car when it started to rattle. The quake continued for so long. I noticed electric poles swaying and people shouting Bhuichalo Bhuichalo!! I exited my car and stood by the road.
