One day when I was seven years old, I was sitting next to my grandfather, incessantly asking questions in order to keep my boredom at bay. At one point I asked him about our family ancestry, and he responded by saying, “we’re actually related to royalty!”.
I was astounded, and still am to this day when I think about it… according to my grandfather, my family is distantly related to the deceased royal family of Nepal. Apparently my grandfather had even met the former King before! If a monarchy ever gets established in Nepal again, it’s interesting to know that I’d be somewhere on the list of those in line for the throne.
P.S. Yes, that is actually me in the picture. No, it’s not the palace in Nepal, but pretend it is!
