history. In fact, he is a history in himself. He created the tomorrow
of Nepali music yesterday.

of Darjeeling but within half a decade, his creations penetrated every
soul of Nepalese within and abroad Nepal. From early childhood, he

came out with the combination of good music, exceptional voice and
penetrating lyrics. Timri jasto mutu mero, timro jaistai maya...,

thakera... are some of the classics that constantly remind us what it
means to be living.
