Monika Rana our Manu
A teacher, a poet, an athlete, a traveller, an animal lover, a woman of courage, and the soul behind Soaring Nature.
To many, she was Monika Rana. To those who loved her closely, she was Manu — full of warmth, courage, laughter, feeling and life.
30 March 1976 — 10 November 2024
A life remembered with love and dignity.
This page keeps her public identity clear while allowing the deeper pages of the site to carry her emotional world.
She carried softness, but never weakness.
Monika Rana, lovingly called Manu, lived with a rare mixture of tenderness and strength. She could be deeply emotional, yet practical. Playful, yet determined. Gentle with animals and people, yet courageous enough to take decisions that others might only discuss.
She was a teacher by profession and by nature. She believed in encouraging, correcting, guiding and pushing life forward. Her presence made people feel seen. Her words could comfort, and her courage could quietly change the direction of someone’s life.
Soaring Nature preserves her as she truly was — not only through one formal biography, but through poems, stories, photographs, journeys, animal love, letters and memories that continue to grow.
Some people are remembered because they left. Manu is remembered because she still changes life.
