Love the life you live, live the life you love. It’s easier said than done but when you look around and see the carnage, atrocity, abuse, poverty and violence you do learn to appreciate the life that you have and in turn take your own hurdles in stride.

It was one such awakening for Choden while working on a photo/audio documentary with Nayantara. The shutdown of all nighttime establishments after 11:00 PM, announced on September by Nepal’s Home Minister took its toll. While the members of the ‘good society’ applauded the move there was a lot more lurking in the dark. A brand new show, the first Potpourri feature we present 9/11 – our attempt to highlight the plight of the women working in the so-called socially unaccepted areas – dance bars and restaurants.

It’s difficult to pinpoint and come to conclusions but most opinions, as you will hear on the show, is the fact that this drastic measure has affected only the already suffering group of women. Moral or immoral, right or wrong, fair or unfair – we leave it up to you to decide. If nothing else this show will most probably urge you to think.
