Lyricist Basant K Chaudhary on his song

My dear friends,

Peace is a state of harmony, which all human beings are looking for in their lives. Peace describes the relation between one's construction and creativity. Peace only lasts where people are characterized by respect, justice and goodwill.
Peace only dwells when human rights are respected, when no one starves for food and where individuals and nations are free.

Peace is unachievable through violence, as you can never shake hands with a clenched fist. Peace is attained through understanding.

My song "Shanti Lukaun Kahan…" is a manifestation of the current situation of Nepal where everyone is worried as how to preserve the little bit of peace that is left with us. Thus, I wish to dedicate this song to every peace loving people of Nepal.

Inspired by the imagination of a peaceful new Nepal, let us hold each other's hand and guide ourselves towards the world of peace. "Let there be peace… and let it begin with this song...."

The Team share their experiences

 Nhyoo Bajracharya

"Composing the music for the peace anthem " Shanti Lukaun Kahan" was something fun to do. Seriously, it was like a picnic or a fun get-together you know because all who have lent their voices in the anthem are some of my very closed friends. And I am extremely grateful they all showed up in just one call. Besides, contributing music to an anthem and especial "peace" anthem to that is always an honor and I thank Mr. Basanta Chaudhary for the wonderful project he made me a part of".

 Bishnu Chemjong

" I was the youngest artiste in the crew. I learnt a lot, had a lot of fun too. Peace Anthem "Shanti Lukaun Kahan" came at the time when our country was in a jeopardy, in fact it still is. It was an opportunity to represent Nepal's youth and the peace song was a contribution of a kind from me and from the entire team to the people of our country. A great experience all in all."

 Video director Suraj Singh Thakuri speaks about the video

Prior to this video, the no. of videos that i have directed had only commercial value and was for total clean entertainment but when it comes to this song I was more concerned and gave everything that I had ... Since the lyrics was amazing as well as the music and the vocals of various popular artist of our country and most of all it speaks about the situation of our country, it gave me immense pressure to bring out the best product. It was my honor to work and direct these superstars of our country .... I hope I have done a fair job ...........
