🎆What is your favorite holiday and how do you celebrate it?
My favorite festival is Diwali, the Festival of Lights. I love how families come together, exchange sweets, wear traditional clothes, and burst fireworks to mark the triumph of light over darkness.

Ukta was born in a village of Nepal. One of 7 brothers, he enjoyed a simple life with a loving family. Later as an adult, he ran a small screen-printing business, stayed active with yoga, and ate mindfully.
Then came the diagnosis that would turn that quiet life upside down: lung cancer.
