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!

It’s Not Normal
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.

Dudley Questions Fun
After a long hiatus the sisters are back. Will we get any serious answers from Manzari? And wherever did Bandana find these dudley questions? Sigh.

Navel Gazing
Juni and Bandana are kept waiting by Manzari - raising ire and admiration. They talk about self growth and contemplate the difference between navel gazing and being self aware.

Every Body is a Bikini Body
Juni and Bandana discuss travel, places they want to visit, and of course COVID and vaccines. Bandana forbids Juni to talk about bus trips and they consider expelling their sisters from the podcast sisterhood.

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! They talk about childhood, identity, navigating health care, and becoming your own best advocate.

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!)

Customer Reviews
PLEASE LISTEN
Initially I was recommended this podcast by a friend and didn’t know how or when to listen to it. After a few episodes I got used to their format and found myself looking forward to the varying episode formats and lengths. At times they spoke in Nepali, but regardless I appreciate their insight. Would recommend.
