Born on 15 March, 1982, Nirvana Chaudhary has no patience for reading a book but loves to watch movies, so much so, that he boasts of a collection of 1000 DVDs.

As a typical Piscean, he describes himself as sensitive, focused and flamboyant.

Admits of crying while he was studying in Doon School in India because he missed home a lot. Doesn't cook and has no desire to either.

Like his uncle, he too is working on a music album which is scheduled to be released by the end of this year. It will be a mix of Nepali and English songs mostly from the romantic genre.

Has rocked parties from behind the console in Dubai, India and Nepal as a DJ and was once ranked number 2 in Squash in Nepal, a passion he vouches to get back to again.

Is totally embarrassed when people talk about the things he has done and likes to avoid it as much as he can and feels it acts as a hurdle in his growth process. He is very proud of the times when his father pats him on his back for a job well done.

Completely believes in the art of perception management and thinks it should be taught to kids in schools.

Is often seen in sharp suits in dark shades with a serious look but confesses being totally opposite in nature. Hates the current hip hop fashion as it is too informal for him and feels the youngsters have got the wrong sense of it all.

Is more inclined towards arts and has even had an art exhibition in India. Is currently supporting Kathmandu Animal Treatment Centre, Samta Niketan School for which he is building 11 school buildings and a Youth Development Program.

Feels the youth of the country are very disappointed with the current situation but are very smart, aware, intelligent and motivated. Although believes that if this can be tapped into and they realise that each individual can make a difference Nepal has immense potential.

Is sad about the political situation and the lack of stability. "No government has lasted long enough to prove itself and everyone is more interested in extracting out of the country rather than giving to it. This view needs to change," he says

But on the other hand, feels that this is the time to make hay as there are boundless opportunities and Nepal is a great place for entrepreneurship. "The situation is unpredictable but with the right attitude and eye to implement the ideas, there is a lot that can be done here."

Believes in god but thinks he is more spiritual and 'thank you' is all he says when he prays.
