एकान्तमा किन किन तिम्रैनै याढ आउछ
सम्झनामा अझैपनि आँखा यो किन रसिन्छ
थाह छ मलाई तिमी आउदैनौ तिमी कसैकी भईसकेछौ
तर किन किन फेरी सम्झन्छु
नढुखेखो मुटुलाई किन ढुखाउछु
एक्लै हिड़्दा कहिलेकाही तिमी साथमा पाउछु
हिड़ढा हिड़ढै बोल्दा बोल्दै एक्लै पाँउदा झस्कन्छु
थाह छ मलाई यो भ्रमहो फेरी भेटिने आशानै छैन
तर किन किन फेरी सम्झन्छु
नढुखेखो मुटुलाई किन ढुखाउछु
कति छिटो बितेछन् मिलनका ती पलहरू
सम्झना मात्ररह्यो सपना सबै ओझेल पर्यो
एकान्तमा किन किन.......
Ekantama kina kina timrai nai yada aaucha
Samjhanama ajhaipani aankha yo kina rasauccha
Thaha ccha malai timi aaudainau
Timi kasaiki bhai sakecchau
Tara kina kina feri samjhancchu
Nadukheko mutulai kina dukhaucchu
Eklai hirda kahile kahi timi saathma paucchu
Hirda hirdai bolda boldai eklai pauda jhaskincchu
Thaha ccha malai yo bhrama ho
Feri bhetine ashanai cchaina
Tara kina kina feri samjhancchu
Nadukheko mutulai kina dhukhaucchu
Kati cchito bitecchan milan ka ti palharu
Samjhana matrai rahyo
Sapana sabai ojhel paryo...ekantama..

YELLOW HAMMER

A few years back, I watched them performing live at capital hall in Darjeeling and I was truly impressed by these extremely talented young boys. They may be barely in their twenties, but they play with a kind of dexterity which is hard to attain even after years of preparations.
I came to know that the band was formed in the year 2002 and have many awards to their credit including wildfire IIT2005 kharagur, Mangan (Sikkim) beat contest and Alcheringa IIT Guwahatti. They are truly one of the most promising bands in Darjeeling today. They have already launched an album titled ‘yellow hammer’, which contains songs like ‘kina kina’, ‘roi diyo aakash’, ‘question’ amongst others. Like many other post-agitation bands of Darjeeling, they have too succesfully bloomed where they belonged.
Band members:
Pashang (guitars/ vocals)
Samten (drums)
Ashim (keys)
Nishant(Bass guitar)
Pranay (guitar)
