The blog which he started in 2007 is viewed widely and broadcasts both podcasts and videos. Ghimire is a student of Computer Engineering at Kathmandu University, Dhulikhel.
"I was involved in promoting the film from the beginning and after it was screened at the Buds Film Fiesta and Kathmandu University, it received a very good response. Then we decided to release it through the blog," Ghimire said. Adding, " We chose this day to release the film because it´s Valentine´s Day, and a perfect occasion to enjoy a new film."
