Rashil wanted to be a guitarist when he was growing up. He played the instrument faithfully until class seven, but on a trip to Pokhara, he heard a young kid play the Sarangi and it changed his life. The Sarangi cast a spell on him and when he came back to Kathmandu, Rashil was determined to learn how to play the instrument. And learn he did! Not only did he learn to play it, he has also been researching the instrument to further the range of sounds it produces. He indulges in trips to villages around the country on a mission to learn more about indigenous Nepali instruments.
