On Monday morning, the last journey of Nandan started from the courtyard of Narayani Kala Mandir, towards Devghat. Before that, her daughter Begum Shrestha sang the same favorite song 'Yo village ko thito ma, kancha mero naam'.
What you should know
I'm the youngest of this village, my younger nameCome and go, everyone is going to be Ram-Ram
Premvinod Nandan is the composer of this folk song from the Nepali movie 'Mohani' in the voice of Udit Narayan Jha and his son Adityanarayan. Nandan has left never to come back.
Why did you ask me, my age is seventy or seventy
If you can write a love letter
Nandan had to recite this beautiful ghazal in many programs in Chitwan. He would happily fulfill the orders of connoisseurs. He was 70 when he wrote and recited this ghazal. When the opening of FM radio began, Synergy FM started operating in Chitwan from October 2058. In this, Arjunmani Paudel used to run the program 'Anurag' about ghazals.
Arjun joins Nandan in the program through 'Ghazalma Dhori' . In which Sheetal Kadambini and Nandan used to repeat the ghazal . This program greatly enhanced the atmosphere of Ghazal in Chitwan. Nandan's identity is not only cinema and sringarik ghazal. Unama also had a sense of rebellion and was patriotic. After the mass movement of 062/63, there were calls from all over the country for a new national anthem. His composition was among the best 10 .
If you ask for the right, you have to fight
The rush of revolution
Nandan's first song collection 'Jhataro' was released in the year 2011 and these are the lines included in it. He has drawn similar zealous letters in the anthology 'Sapni Baat Byunjher' published in the year 2023. In this collection he has written-
Get up Tanneri Ho blowing your arms
Raising your head like a mountain in the morning
In this way, it seems that many things are missing in the world of Nandan's words. Country, society, friends, love are all covered by him in words .
He was born in June 1992 in Bandipur, Tanahun. Nandan from the Newar community came down to Narayangadh around the year 2015 and started business. Many people from Bandipur's Newar community have come to Narayangarh in connection with business. Even though Nandan took care of business, he did not abandon literature.
He was often found in the grocery store in the old house of Narayangarh Main Road before Putli Bazar Chowk. When listening to his words, the idea that he is an elderly person did not come to mind. Even though he was doing business, he always had the desire to join literary gatherings.
Never stop, the traveler is never tired.
13 years ago in Baisakh, Nandan recited these two lines in a recital program held at Narayani Kala Mandir. Kala Mandir is the oldest cultural institution in Chitwan. Which was also led by Nandan . On Monday morning, his body remained in the Kala Mandir courtyard for a while. The presence of many people was seen there for the last darshan and homage. Nandan, who made a national name through
literature, and got the nickname 'Gol Simal' of Nepali literature from national poet Madhav Ghimire, considered Chitwan to be his everything. He used to call others - come to Chitwan.
If you want to meet me, you should come to Chitwan,
, climb the tree and sing the greenery from the branches,
Only people are far away, we are not far away from the heart
Like the earth and the sky, we are not a base
At the same program of the Kala Mandir, he hummed his compositions like this at that time. And, after 13 years, on Monday morning, he took his last journey from the courtyard of the Kala Mandir, towards Devghat. Before that Daughter Begum Shrestha sang Nandan's favorite song 'Yo village ko thito Ma, Kancha Mero Naam'. Other participants also hummed along with Begum and paid their last respects to Nandan . Nandan stopped, but he left with the consciousness of "hitting those who don't have the right".
