Chaar Kuna means four corners in Nepali. Join four Nepali women living in four different cities in three continents as we connect to talk about life, careers, and the places where we live.
Sister, mother, daughter, aunt, and niece to one another, we plan to bring you this podcast bi-monthly from Kathmandu, Portland, Paris, and Tokyo.
Come listen and join the conversation!

Late gram! It might be time to change our opening description, but the conversations continue. This time we’re hearing from Mandira about her work and learning what climate change looks like in Nepal and the Himalayas. This episode was recorded a couple of month’s ago just before the COP26.

Awkward Silences are OK
Bandana catches up with Ashley, a one-time-co-worker-now-smart-younger-friend, mommy to two cute doggies, and a half-Laotian beauty who is still living down the shame of dyeing her hair blond in high school!

The Karki Sisters
Manzari and Juni catch up their friends - sisters Itchya and Rakchya - the dynamic and accomplished Karki sisters. Engineer and entrepreneur, both whip smart and ambitious, they are funny as can be! Listen to these four friends talk about everything - from running businesses to contending with everyday sexism, joining the circus to who has the body of a stripper! (Yup, Mom and aunt were not part of this conversation!)

Pustakari Eaters
Mandira, Bandana, Juni, and Manzari have a zoom meeting to plan and decide if they are going to, in fact, do a podcast. One of us can’t get enough of pustakari, a hard, molasses candy that’s as addictive as it is sweet.
