Kathmandu, March 16 -- Living in a house with three different generations-a 93-year-old grandmother, a 53-year-old father and 27-year-old me-I grew up listening to old Nepali songs. These classics are not just favourites in my household but they also continue to resound across the nation, played on laptops and bluetooth speakers through Youtube, and are still in rotation on the radio.

Although, there have been many covers and remixes of these classic tunes, nothing can compare to their timeless charm, and the personas of their legendary singers. These songs may be old but they've lost none of their lustre. Here are my pick for five classic Nepali songs:

Namana laaj estari-Premdhoj Pradhan and Usha Mangeshkar
