Pinch of Salt๐Ÿง‚ | And Let the Game Beginโ€ฆ โšฝ๏ธ๐Ÿฅ…

In this edition of Pinch of Salt, Shrijana Singh Yonjan () takes a closer look at the changing landscape of womenโ€™s sportโ€”from the global stage of the FIFA Womenโ€™s World Cup to the growing momentum of womenโ€™s football in Nepal.

As women athletes continue to break barriers, fill stadiums and earn their place on the international stage, the conversation is no longer just about visibility. It is about recognition, equal opportunity, meaningful sponsorship and the integrity of the game.

Because supporting women in sport should go beyond putting a logo on a jersey. It should be about investing in the game, the athletes and the future.

Read โ€œAnd Let the Game Beginโ€ฆโ€ in the Summer Edition of SHINE.

Some journeys take you places. Others transform the person you become along the way.

In our Passport Pages feature, Manisha Thapa () shares how solo travel took her from the Annapurna Base Camp to Everest Base Campโ€”and beyond. What began as a pursuit of mountains became a journey of independence, resilience, self-discovery and purpose.

From challenging social expectations to confronting the realities of gender, sustainability and responsible tourism, Manishaโ€™s story is a reminder that the greatest journeys are not always measured in miles, but in how far we grow.

From the courts of Pokhara to the international tennis circuit, Abhishek Bastola ( ) is rewriting what it means to be a Nepali professional tennis player.

Nepalโ€™s first professional tennis player to build a full career on the international circuit, Bastolaโ€™s journey is one of resilience, discipline, and an unwavering belief in possibility. From serving as an official practice partner at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, training alongside some of the worldโ€™s best players, to representing Nepal on the international stage, his story extends far beyond the scoreboard.

But his ambitions reach further. Bastola envisions a stronger future for tennis in Nepalโ€”one where young players, especially women, have the structure, mentorship and opportunities to pursue the sport professionally.

Rama Singh made history as the captain of Nepalโ€™s first womenโ€™s football team before going on to become one of Nepal Televisionโ€™s most recognised faces.

In this conversation, she reflects on her own personal journey and the advices sheโ€™d give her younger self, the leap from sport to screen, and what it really took to build two careers in a country that hadnโ€™t yet made room for either.
