PRIDE OF SINGTAM 02 - REGAN CHETTRI

By himalayanreview
Born to Kumar Chettri and Sashi Kala Chettri, he is a multi-talented individual that Singtam expects more in near future. He knows nothing except acting, dancing, and music. In his early 30s, he was just making a mark in the Nepali cinema world when COVID-19 came out and all his dreams got shattered.


His debut film Saino (2019) got released last year in Kathmandu with mixed reviews but his actions as the lead actor’s childhood friend were praised by both media and audiences.  He had signed his next Nepali film unnamed with Rajesh Hamal just before the Corona scenario break off.  Keen to music since an early age he released his Nepali musical album ‘Regan’ was in 2016. 

His links with personalities of the Nepali Film Industry made him give music and lyrics to Nepali films like Man Magan and Chi Musi Chi both released in 2019. His song – Hasda Hasdai from the film Chi Musi Chi won the Sagarmatha Music Award as the Best Lyricist 2019. A complete musical package, he has performed at stages of   Kolkata, Gangtok, Kathmandu, Illam, Jhapa, Pasthal, Trathung, Taplejun and Pokhra

Every artist has its story of ups and downs. Regan Chettri too had the taste of a lifetime. His emerging success was cut off due to the virus outbreak. He returned home and now after more than 2-3 months, he looks for a job to sustain his family. My dear friends, if you find him in a Hardware Shop at Singtam working as a fellow staff don’t be surprised, he to have to run his family. But I feel sorry for him, can we do anything for him, anything for his caliber. He says, he can teach children at home – dancing and singing skills. Can we help him?

They wanted to kill me??

AN ENVELOPE   A PIECE OF PAPER   LIST OF ADDRESSES INSIDE THE ENVELOPE I was part of a successful newspaper at Gangtok; the weekly newspaper “Weekend Review” was then considered the third party in Sikkim after the Sikkim Democratic Front led by Pawan Chamling and Congress led by N B. Bhandari, former Chief Minister of Sikkim. I had just completed my graduation when I got a chance to join the big-wig WR team. It took me a week to decide, and I was a news reporter. Even then, my primary concern was looking for Sikkim's old history. The new job was interesting, challenging, and more of an adventure. I never knew what I would do the next day or where I would be.  I was only told to file a report to the newspaper office at Gangtok every Thursday. I was associated with the WR team for more than two years till our editor was replaced, and I found it uncomfortable to work with the new editor. His lack of journalism ethics made me leave WR. Within the fol...

REMEMBERING FALLEN HEROES

By himalayanreview
In memory of the brave Gorkha soldiers of the Darjeeling Hills who laid down their lives for the greater cause of the motherland, Nayan Subba takes the opportunity to recall their contributions on the occasion of the 58th Republic Day The Gorkhas are a small little community in India where people of diverse origins mingle to contribute a great composite Indian culture. They are the descendants of General Amar Singh Thapa who invaded India and annexed Garhwal and Kumaon that included the hill stations of Simla, Musssoorie, Lansdowne, Almora, Nainital, Ranikhet and Pithoragarh. In the northeast General Johar Singh and General Purna Ale overran a major part of Sikkim in 1788, which included Nagri and Darjeeling. The British defeated the Gorkhas during the Anglo Gorkha war of 1814-16 and the lands they had conquered were ceded to the British and re-profiled. Those who have been living in India since the Gorkha invasion are known as the Indian Gorkhas. Darjeeling is a much favoured tour...
