Hello everyone! Right off the bat, I want to say that this project is a little different from the ones I usually share. It is my first piece of original music, right from composition to production (though a few lines from a popular Nepali nursery rhyme written by the late Saran Pradhan also feature in it).
However, 100% of everything/anything I earn from the sales of this song will be donated to M.A.R.G., an NGO from Darjeeling (India) that facilitates rural growth, education of underprivileged children and anti human trafficking, among other such societal reforms. To know more about M.A.R.G., visit http://www.marg.org.in .
Growing up in the pristine hills of Darjeeling, I came to love that cheerful little town that sits upon the clouds. It is there that I also fell in love with music, a few years ago. And now, I’m hoping that through this passion of mine, I can give something back to my hometown, even if it is in a small way.
And if you are reading this line then I thank you for taking the time to go through this post, and I want you to know that even if you decide not to purchase this song, M.A.R.G. still accepts direct donations. :) 
Thank you once again, and please do share..! Sharing is caring.

I wrote the most of this song a couple of years ago (2011?) my memory is hazy. In a lot of ways this was the first "proper" song I had written, an homage to the songwriting tradition of the beat bands of the 1960's. 

This song holds special meaning to me as my father is a pilot for Nepal Airlines and has been flying aero planes for a living since as long as I can remember. In fact, he wrote "Mai Runchu" while he was stationed in Dolpa. As a result, planes have always held a special nostalgic feeling for me, especially the twin otters that fly domestically within Nepal. A lot of the songs for the new album have elements of that kind of that faint yet unshakable nostalgia of ones younger days.

I still remember the first time I was able to accompany my father to the cockpit of one of these planes. All the dials, the switches, the knobs and the levers fascinated me even more than the view outside the window. While I never followed in his footsteps and became a pilot, I have somehow ended up working with the dials, switches and knobs as well. The only difference is that instead of levitation, it creates sound and is a vehicle that carries you beyond the realm of the corporeal.

The initial idea was to imagine someone who grew up in a situation that was the complete antithesis of my childhood. This song was written for that little child who has never seen a plane up close. To him or her it is a thing of mystery, curiosity and in some small way, hope.

A huge thanks to Bikash dai for completing the lyrics to the songs. When I started all I had was the first verse and the idea. He was the one who fleshed it out with the beautiful imagery and a wonderful chorus.

All of the recording for this song was done by me in my small bedroom on my laptop. I was living above a restaurant then so I remember having to schedule vocal takes  in between the times they would use this huge exhaust fan which was right outside my window! So a thank you is in order to Phil Abbot who was able to transform this bedroom production into something that I am happy and proud to share. 

I have lived with this song for years and it feels good to finally release it. I hope that it brings you the same joy it has brought to me and my family.

Thank you,

Diwas

The Shadows 'Nepal' is back. A long awaited record was released on the 6th of September 2014 in Sydney. With Amit Pradhan & Prakash Rasaily in Australia, Swapnil Sharma in Nepal, it wasn't easy to come up with this EP. But all the hard work and a long gap was worth the wait.

Hey guys, for long long time i had been wishing to musically express my love for my beloved home, our beautiful state of Sikkim. It started with putting together a talented team and taking them all over Sikkim to get the feel and taste of this beautiful state. After the tour everybody added their expressions and it began. Today aim so happy to say that we have finally managed to put it all together. Check out this new single called "Pyaro Sikkim". I hope it will add some joy in your life. Thanks to Rohit Shakya for the fantastic music, thanks to Sailendra(mac) for the beautiful lyrics, thanks to Sailesh and Biraj for always guiding me...happy listening. Cheers!

Pyaro Sikkim

ADHYAARO is a tribute song for the musical genius RAHUL RAI, frontman of TRIBAL RAIN.
This song is dedicated to all the fans and supporters of TRIBAL RAIN and all the well wishers of Rahul Rai who felt the darkness in their lives after the great loss of a gem we had.
We will always remember him through his music and the memories we have in our hearts.
