Biografia
I’m an independent filmmaker born in Kalimpong. The town in the past century has been the scene of many migrations, from Tibet in the north, from Nepal in the west, from Bhutan in the east and from India and Bangladesh in the south. I am a product of two such migrations: my great grandparents themselves came from Uttar Pradesh and from Okhaldhunga and Ilam in Eastern Nepal. Kalimpong could be described as a great crossroads where trade with Tibet and Nepal flourished and it also functioned as the starting point of many an expedition to Central Asia. My place of birth and its circumstances have greatly shaped and influenced my work.
