Hindi song composed for the Dalai Lama's 90th b'day
A Hindi song composed by Mumbai-based Som Dasgupta will be sung by Bollywood singer Mohit Chauhan on the occasion of the Dalai Lama's 90th birthday on July 6 in Mcleodganj, Dharamshala. Dasgupta wrote the song following a request made by the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts (TIPA), a cultural body that functions under the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA). Dasgupta told TOI that there are also English and Tibetan versions of the song. "I am feeling blessed. The 90th birthday of the Dalai Lama is a great occasion. I sent the song to Mohit Chauhan and he likes it. Musician and singer Bidisha Sen will also sing along with Chauhan," he said. Dasgupta is currently in Mcleodganj to teach 400 students of TIPA the song, on the latter's request. "They will sing in chorus on the Tibetan spiritual leader's birthday in Mcleodganj," he added.
