A few years ago in 2006 I accepted a youtube friendship request. I didn't actually used my youtube account after that for a long time. Time just flies and life's activities made me so busy that I didn't even bother to simple things like logging into my youtube and check out things. I was not that much active in facebook either.

One day I saw one friend of mine posted a link in his/her wall. Out of curiosity I clicked on the link and this song started playing. I was instantly fascinated by the voice and the song. I got more curious and wanted to find out more. I logged into my youtube account and checked for his videos. I could see his youtube channel as Asapien now ROJAN. Well I shuffled through all the videos and also got to know few other singers from London Tina Rai, Mahanta Gurung 'Utpatang0'. I just loved his voice. Since then I have been his fan and a supporter. Later on I found out we've already been friends since long time I just didn't look at my notifications.

Being asked whether I could write about him or not, I guess he was just too shy. Anyways I managed to have a little conversation with him. He is just living life in a low profile for the time being but guess you might never know when he is going to make his comeback. He says,'I'm unpredictable in nature.' May be he is just hybernating and honestly I did not want to disturb him that much. Just few lines of his own :

'' Purano jati sabai singer/bands nai favourite ho .. School days huda mero cousin Billen guitar liyera aaunthyo ani malai gauna launthyo .. then I got inspired from his enthusiasm and started a small band with him .. Youtube was accidental .. I hardly listen to new artists so I lack knowledge on current situation .. I have no plans on singing really right now .. But that can change .. I m unpredictable in nature.. Yo bahek aru k vanu ..''
'Aru kei bhannu pardaina Rojan this much explains a lot.- Shaku'

I hope his new cover song or new song is out soon in his channel. I believe support from all your viewers and admirers of your voice would inspire you to carry on with your singing. I respect talent, it is something you are born with. Do show your support for him and may be he will come out of his shell. hehe Just a joke.

Thank you Rojan for your kindness.

Regards limshaku

Love > Heartbreak > Music

Yesterday I went to watch a Bollywood movie 'Rockstar' with my people. I only watch selected Bollywood movie. It was a nice movie. One point it was saying to the lead actor, 'you need to feel pain to create great music'. The lead actor does not feel anything till the girl leaves him. I'm not really trying to do publicity of the movie but just trying to write few points I liked most.

• How the girl is carefree when she meets him. They make a list of crazy things they want to do. And they dare to do it as well. Those crappy pubs and clubs where they dance.
• The scene of Kashmir. I just love that place and dream to go there if life and luck assist me.
• When the girl says she will meet him in Prague and the guy says ,'I haven't even been to Nepal'. Hahaha crazy lines.
• When he says to the bride (actress) "Every guy in the wedding secretly fantasies about the bride at night". Hahahhhahaha
• How he pauses for a minute when he hears the sound of 'Shehnai' played by an old man. This sound is normally played in weddings.
• How practical life is; she's got married life but he still seeks her presence. People who are in music; I have always found them living in different world of their own.
• How he rises to fame. You can learn music everywhere, in shrine, in roads, etc.
• The best and funniest part I ever liked is : when this Rockstar Jordan vomits in the red carpet event. (It's just a glimpse) He is very very carefree and does not give a damn to anybody.
• The back vocal was given by Mohit Chouhan and its just lovely. He also sang one of my other favourite song 'Naa hai yeh paana' from movie 'Jab We Met'.
• How the movie has still kept the reality fact alive and no commercial fonda, like the girl was about to get married and she does get married. How she was going to die and she does end up in coma. No here and there spiced up thing. The reality and curse of being famous. Even his friends love his fame and status rather than his loneliness and restlessness.
• When he tries to figure out why he couldn't be sad like when he says 'I was fed well in childhood, I wasn't adopted, my parents are still alive, I have a good family, blah blah'. There is nothing that could give him pain.

He, the rockstar, does create great music because of the real pain he feels deep within his heart. The pain of denial, the pain of love, the pain of seperation from family, the pain of separation from his love of life. Does it really happen? Does the pain inside your heart makes you create such great music? I also write poems, and I personally think that people write what they have gone through. Talking about that yep there are singer/ songwriter who has written about the state of their pain, happiness and so on.
Examples are like : (based on what I heard, no factfinding is carried out)

1. Eric Clapton wrote 'Tears in Heaven' when his son died.
2. Pink wrote many songs related to the phases of her life. 'So what', 'Please don't Leave', 'Like a Pill'.
3. Axl Rose wrote 'Sweet Child Oh Mine' for his sweetheart of that time.
4. Christina Aguilera sang 'You are Beautiful' which reflects her Life as well.
5. Mariah Carey wrote 'Hero'.
6. Gary Barlow wrote 'Patience', I guess he was being patient towards his comeback and drawback.
7. Jon Bon Jovi wrote 'Midnight In Chelsea' cause he loved the place.
8. Bruno Mars says 'Count on me' to his friends, 'Today I don't feel like doing anything' to his dad, 'The way you are' to his girl. I like his simple lyrics songs.
9. Talking about Nepali songs, 'Bides jaane mayalu' is one of the greatest song I heard. The singer/ songwriter wrote the song remembering his ex who married somebody else.
Chandani Shah is writer of most of the heart-touching song behind the greatest hits of SworSamrat Narayan Gopal 'Euta mancheko' also Singer Tara Devi 'Ukali orali haruma'. Tragically as her lyrics in the song which goes on like "jaha jaha janchau timi, chaya bani pachyayi rahanchu" (wherever you go I will follow you) she died with her husband together.
10. Puff daddy remixed the song 'I'll be missing you' to give tribute to his friend Notorious Big.
11. Eminem always dares to write and sing the songs which relates to some reality situation.
12. Amy Winehouse's 'Rehab' and many songs are superb.
13. The famous composer Mozzart. He created magical music following the different phases of his life as well. Finally it killed him.

Well if I go on like this it'll be a long long long long list. So, I'm going to STOP it here.

I believe music can also be created to show happiness as well and not only pain.

Well done actor, the whole movie crew and the newcomer girl. Music of this movie is encouraging and rocking. Rock is the form of music I like most anyways.

Thanks for bothering to read it till end. Keep visiting. :))
