“Please forgive me” is probably the first song I heard from Bryan Adams. It was my teenage time and his love songs rooted deep inside me. I still love to hear his songs “18 till I die“, “Everything I do I do it for you“, “Here I am” many more to name here.
In Nepal we rarely have some quality concerts and which are memorable. One of the memorable concerts I had attended in Nepal was WORLD MUSIC DAY concert in the year 1995, at Basantapur. After that it was the concert of singer Deepak Bajracharya. His concert was special to the Nepali audience because he hired a sound engineer from Australia and we could feel for the first time what a concert sound should be like.
Talking about Bryan Adams concert, just read what he had tweeted “Just flew over Everest into Katmandu, Nepal. We are the 1st western band to play here. With all the music in the world how is that possible?” he himself is feeling so proud to be the 1st western band to perform in Nepal.
It’s been almost 5 months I have been living in Bangkok. I have heard about the Thai culture from childhood and many of them are similar to our Hindu culture.
Yesterday I observed the first Thai festival called Loi Krathong. It is always a fun to participate in festival and take pictures for me. Actually I was curious to know about this festival and how they celebrate.

This is a performing artwhich contains some moral stories and Hindu stories and traditional music. It had begun from 12th November 2010. This festival will be celebrated till 19th November 2010. This year I am going to miss the last day of the show.

Hey guys in few weeks’ time there is going to be a festival in one of the ancient city of Nepal , Sankhu. This festival is going to be held from 2 – 4 April 2010.
I was really surprised to get an email from one of the organizer Mr. Suresh Pradhan. He requested me to send him some high resolution picture I took when I visited Shankhu on Bajrayogini Jatra. It’s always a pleasure when someone passes your work and asks for your favor. I have given few photographs to him so that he can utilize it to make some brochure and posters for advertisement. I hope this festival will be a great success. It is time for people outside Shankhu to know the cultural heritage of this palace and its history. This is also a holy city where every year millions of people visit to take bath on Shali Nadi. Continue reading »
