Personal Interests:
I love music. Checkout my latest performance here (I am the one playing the lead guitar):
I also love hiking and being out in the nature. Being from Nepal, I am naturally attracted to the most strenuos of them. Here’s a picture of me in the grand canyon.

I also like adventure sports. Rafting, scuba, mountaneering, etc are all fun. But the most exhillerating thrill that I have ever experienced was bungee jumping.
