Baskota was a mechanical engineering student. But even during his study, he did not take a break from singing and music. He used to take formal lessons while he was pursuing his engineering degree. He was a smart student who could understand everything in class with less effort. That indeed was the same in music too.

But, he could not do well in his engineering as he expected because of music. He used to wake up at four in the morning and would practice playing the harmonium. His morning sessions somehow acted as an alarm for the neighbours.

Kali used to write poems when he was little and also got interested in literature. But he stopped after building a habit of watching movies. Not only movies but he also watched llot of shows and wouldn’t miss his favorites on the radio too. In certain programs, he would also call and sing songs.

Since he came from a strict family, he had pressure to get a decent job. And that was  why he studied mechanical engineering. But after he gave his last exam, he worked as a music teacher in 5 different schools as a part-timer.

Baskota wouldn’t quit music easily and had two friends with whom he decided to release an album together. Baskota composed some music and they met Sunil Parajuli. Since he was still working as a music teacher, he went to Opus studio earlier than Sunil. Sunil also helped a lot in Baskota’s composition.

Baskota learned how to play the keyboard and also learned how to arrange the tunes on the computer. He also played in casinos to earn some money but did the job only as a part-timer. Later, he also worked on a website named fursad.com. Slowly, he got into composing his own music.

Then, he started his work at Tilganga Eye Hospital for almost 15 years.
