    Wanna Make Fraandship again time?

    Re-releasing this episode from 2019 since we are still juggling multiple long distance friendships across time zones. God, I really miss impromptu chicken chilly and beer bhetghats with my fraandz. In this very cheesy episode, we talk about why friendship is important and how it shapes our lives. And why we need more deep portrayal of female, queer and all kinds of non-broey friendship in our books and movies. Also, a big thank you to everyone who shared their friendship stories with us.

    #103 Guff Gaff with Sukmit Gurung

    Introducing our series “Rewind with Boju Bajai” where we talk about all things nostalgia. And in this episode, we take a walk down memory lane with singer Sukmit Gurung, Nepal’s OG pop music icon. Sukmit Gurung talks about her childhood in Sikkim, getting a break as a teenager to sing alongside Om Bikram Bista, shifting trends in Nepali music and four decades of singing and performing for Nepali audiences around the world. गायिका सुक्मित गुरुङले सन् १९८१ मा ‘ओ मेरो प्रियतम’ गाउँदासम्म पनि पप संगीत के हो ? धेरैलाई थाहै थिएन । सुक्तिमअघि न पप गायनमा कोही सक्रिय गायिका थिए, न कोही यही विधालाई आफ्नो करिअर बनाउन चाहन्थे । त्यतिखेरसम्म केही गायक र पुरुषले नेतृत्त्व गरेका ब्यान्डहरु यो विधातर्फ लम्कँदै थिए । रेडियो नेपालमा दावा ग्ल्याम्होहरुलाई सुन्दै हुर्केकी सुक्मितको समकालीन कुन्ती मोक्तान, मीरा राणा, लोचन भट्टराईहरु आधुनिक गीततिर बढी ढल्किए । तर सुक्मितलाई पश्चिमा संगीतको गायन शैली र संगीतले तान्यो, अनि उनले जानी/नजानी पप संगीततिर कदम चालिन् । Also, please watch more episode of our series on nostalgia. - Where did Wave magazine go? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOg75WdVLqk&t=1s - Raja Aau, for real? 🙃 The not-so-Royal Nepal of the 90s  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glhIs1vs5OI Follow Boju Baja wherever you are: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/bojubajaiInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bojubajai/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bojubajaiTikTok: @bojubajaiTwitter: https://x.com/bojubajaiSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bojubajai-------Credits:Camera: Bikram Rai, Elite JoshiResearch: Reena MoktanVideo music: Good Days by Yung Logos / @yunglogos Video of Sukmit Gurung singing Pal Pal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B42xKKSKvkVideo of Sukmit Gurung at Golden Kite Festival https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV5AGPSid68Video of Sukmit Gurung singing “Timilai Hasera” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqlMUzXE2Go

    Raja Aau, for real? 🙃 Thank god, it's गणतन्त्र दिवस!

    Disclaimer: This is video version of our April episode featuring Anbika Giri and Dovan Rai. Watch the fun video on our YT and Spotify. गणतन्त्र दिवसको शु्भकामना ! In this episode, writer Anbika Giri and computer scientist Dr. Dovan Rai talk about growing up in Nepal in the not-so-Royal Nepal of the 90s, where access to media and information was mostly limited to Saturday films on Nepal Television, music videos on Image Channel, renting VHS tapes and a handful of magazines. They also reflect on their formative experiences during the years of political upheaval in Nepal, from Panchayat rule to multi-party democracy, followed by the Maoist insurgency, King Gyanendra’s direct rule to Nepal’s historic transition to a federal republic. This episode was recorded in 2024 so it doesn’t contain any reference to the recent raja baddies protest in Nepal. Tell us in the comments about your memories growing up in 90s Nepal.This episode is part of our new series “Rewind with Boju Bajai”.
