The previous day, my spouse Sita Devi had gone on a scooter to visit Phupu Didi in Timalsina Kavre. She said that she will have darshan of Dhaneshwar as it is her birthday on the 12th. The scooter broke down on the way. Called and said - the scooter is broken, what should be done?
I went to Dhaneshwar with a car . We left the scooter at a workshop. After parking the car in Dhaneshwar, Sita had just entered the temple, the surrounding walls started shaking. The tile-houses below the temple of Dhaneshwar were seen collapsed. Dust and dirt were seen rising. I went and sat in the middle of the Shivling to see if I would be safe. That lump was shaking. Children were at home. Satto is gone our . We drove the car and went to Kathmandu worried about our children. The road is closed . People are running . Children are safe when they come home. Sure enough.
It was my first experience of an earthquake as far as I could see. The trauma of the earthquake is still there. Even later, when the aftershocks came, it shook a little that we ran out. 20/25 times ran away from home .
Sometimes when someone shakes the sofa while sitting on the sofa, it feels like an earthquake. Even today, I remember that horror .

On 12th Baisakh 072, I was shooting for the film 'Dokh'. The shooting took place at Bagkhor in Bhogajpur.
There was a female artist who was acting as my wife . We had already shot 3/4 of the scene . After shooting, she said that she will not play the film. Her husband is abroad.
film After knowing that she was playing, her husband threatened her. She said that she did not play the film because her husband scolded her. It had already happened. There was going to be a problem. We were reminding him . Suddenly the house we were staying in shook.
The house was shaken and ran away. Everyone started shouting . We all went to a safe place and stayed. I was worried about my home . At that time, I was building a house with pillars. I was afraid that something had happened to the family, that something had happened to the house . Put on the phone . But the phone was not ringing . Nothing comes on the radio either . Very worried. News started coming in the evening.
Only the next day I got the news of home . In the morning, the production team of the film had a meeting. After hearing the news that someone's house was destroyed, someone's relatives died, there was no possibility of shooting. The production side decided to stop the movie and do it next year. We all returned from there .
that the artist was saying that she will not play the film . It happened as he thought . A year later, another female artist did it opposite me.

I was rehearsing a play at Mandla Theater in Anamnagar on the 12th when the earthquake struck. The name of the play was 'Siruma Rani'. While rehearsing inside, the ground began to shake .
I had only heard about the earthquake. I couldn't feel it. When I saw the vibration directly, I didn't believe it at first . I thought why is it shaking? After the
was constantly shaking, we went out of the hall . We were scared for a while. It was believed that when there is an earthquake, you should hide or sit under something. I heard the belief that a dog barks or a bird flies. When we came, we could not think of anything and ran to the empty place . The
atmosphere led to another situation . We were in a different mood and build . After breaking that mood, we suddenly got into a mood of excitement. The discussion was only about that . Something wonderful happened. We started to debate about it.
All the others slept outside the mandala with tripal hanging. I slept in the room above the mandala. Not afraid . I lay there knowing that it is iron, there is nothing to press on it . I didn't know when the aftershock was coming. Others said not to be afraid. I used to think it was nothing.
didn't have much effect on Sarlahi. He was close to Kapan . I called them. They were also in a safe place .
I walked on Mandala's bike shooting video to see what happened that day. All are pressed . Many scenes were seen. What seemed normal then realized that it was big .
