I had been working on this for almost four months now – shooting photos and recording interviews. With my buddy Rajan Shrestha behind the post-production works, the project is finished now. It’s internet release has been planned for August 15.

We Go Riding

Fluke shots from the backseat of a fairly speeding car around Khichapokhari – Dharahara area of Kathmandu on one late Saturday afternoon.

Except few random ones, shops and malls usually remain closed in Kathmandu, cos it’s supposed to be a holiday. That means, almost no crowd. No tussle. No push and shove. No blaring horns. Almost. Saturday means one stays at home, with family, watch 2pm hindi movie on Nepal television, wash and dry clothes, less shopping, more eating at home.

Manisha Kayastha, vocalist for the death-metal band TAAMISHRA, has also a soothing voice which will stun usual gig-goers of Kathmandu with a surprise.
