He used to keep singing Kishore Da’s songs every now and then. And our Maths teacher was a big Kishore Kumar fan. I changed my school when I was in 8th standard. And then I got hooked to Chandrakanta and slowly started understanding Hindi a little. But I wasn’t into movies/music myself then, I would hardly watch TV and till I was 12, I must have seen around 10 movies (both Nepali and Hindi put together). Hindi songs and movies were very popular in the region I grew up in. Though I didn’t know Hindi, I still used to listen to it. Then we moved to Nepal and there was a time when I used to listen to Nepal’s national radio a little, in the early 90’s. I started tuning in to Vividh Bharati in 1995 but there was only one program that I would listen to then – Chitralok. But that’s all I knew – news and few Nepali songs that used to be played on AIR. And my parents used to often tune in to radio to listen to news. Television broadcasting was banned in Bhutan in the 80’s and 90’s. I spent the first few years of my life there.
