Nepal News had seven hilarious conversations with Harka:

The biggest prank you did as a child?

When I stole a chicken egg from my neighbor’s house, I accidentally broke it and walked around leaving egg yolk all over the road. I got a harsh beating at home that evening.

The biggest punishment you received in school?

When I couldn’t remember algebra formulas, my teacher made a tar mark on my hand overnight.

Have you ever run away from school?

Yes, a teacher used to beat me badly. I went to graze cattle to avoid her class. When she found out, my sister was punished instead.

An unintentional prank you recall?

Once, while going to graze cattle, my friend was about to throw a stone at a bird. I snatched the stone away, but it hit a tree, bounced back, and struck my friend on the head.

The biggest prank you’ve ever done in public?

When I attended cultural programs or concerts, we used to whistle and hoot to tease.

How often do you flirt with your son?

We just look at each other and make funny facial expressions to tease one another.

A prank you regret now?

That egg incident (laughs).
