My Memories of Prashant Tamang

11.01.26: I am saddened to hear the news of the passing of Prashant Tamang. My association with him started during his Indian Idol days, when I had a blog dedicated to him. Since 2007, we remained in touch with each other, and I received a final call from him a few months ago while I was undergoing treatment in Vellore.



He was always cheerful and well disciplined, and his humility and gentle way of speaking touched everyone around him. I closely followed his film career, including 'Angalo Yo Maya Ko' and 'Kina Maya Ma', and even personally visited his film shoots. I was also fortunate to be invited to his marriage ceremony.

This is indeed a personal loss for me. I will always cherish his warmth and happy moment we shared.

On one side was Queen Hope Cook, the American wife of the Chogyal and on the other was the Belgian wife of the Kazi, Elisa-Maria Standford. “This was a proxy war between the American and the Belgian,” says former chief minister BB Gurung. But there was a third woman involved: Indira Gandhi in New Delhi. Chogyal Palden met the 24-year-old New Yorker Hope Cook in Darjeeling in 1963 and married her. For Cook, this was a dream come true: to become the queen of an independent kingdom in Shangrila. She started taking the message of Sikkimese independence to the youth, and the allegations started flying thic...
