I've known this person called Alok Nembang for a long span of time. He is always there for me for whenever i ask him a favour. For me he's a senior brother i can look upon, a trustworthy friend for my high and lows. Today when i look back upon those memoirs of the first meeting with him ,he is a complete different person now. Every thing has changed,every single thing. He has moved big from directing music videos to two odd films. But still, he's the same. Same open book. And still i'm reading him. For many a people, he is a film director, video coreographer, a TV celebrity, and one of the most successful young filmmakers in Nepali filmdom but for me Alok Nembang is more than this Adjectives.
Yesterday we agreed to talk on the topics that's not much of taste to the glamour birds and believe me that turned the most easy and surprising ride when he answered my not-so-funny questions. As for now Alok Nembang is almost ready with his second directorial feature 'Kohi Mero'(http://www.kohimero.com/), so he's excited,chilled,drained and tensed with this new outing.
I have had his interview, on his film career,his ups and downs, and especially on KOHI MERO, which is near to release. But for the moment enjoy reading The inner and outer world of Alok Nembang.
