At the moment, we all are locked down because of the ongoing pandemic COVID-19. While we are trying to be safe staying at our respective houses, there are these Frontline Heroes (medical professionals, traffic police and armies, and some genuine journalists), who are working day in, day out to keep us safe. Fighting out there with the invisible but lethal thing, making safety arrangements and managing everything for us keeping their own life in jeopardy, indeed justifies the proverb “Not all heroes wear capes“.
Most of us have acclaimed their commendable work in our own styles. Likewise, there are Musicians who have praised the great work of those heroes through their beautiful music. Laxmi Thapa‘s song ‘Aabhari’ is gonna be the sweetest thing you’ll see on internet today as a gesture of gratitude to those Frontline Heroes.
Laxmi Thapa, a musician, songwriter and singer is quite a well-known name in Baglung (hometown) and Pokhara. Having been involved in musical journey since 2013 with a singing competition ‘Big Icon’ at Pokhara, she has been involved with couple of bands like ‘Rock Stereo‘ and ‘Solace Trip’ who do gigs at Pokhara Lakeside bars, concerts and in Kathmandu on-demand.
Aabhari
Aabhari is the first solo song written, composed and sang by Ms. Thapa herself. And, it is recorded at Pulse Recording Studio Pokhara. It’s all about appreciating the hard work done by those Frontline people during the Lockdown situation. In a short online conversation, she said, “I didn’t want to do my first ever solo song in such a haste and in such worst condition, but seeing those people who are working tirelessly for other’s safety I wanted to applaud for them in a way I can.“
Apart from the lyrics full of appreciation and thankfulness, the music video is excellently shot and edited by ‘The Epoch‘ team. It clearly portrays those Frontline Heroes work along with some social activists helping the needy ones with foods. All in all, it’s such a great job by the directors Lavish Gurung, Jean Ale and the team, even in such lockdown situation.
We would like to wish Ms. Laxmi Thapa as well as The Epoch team to come up with more such relevant songs and videos in coming days.

Aabhari Lyrics:
जीवनको आशा,
इश्वोर्को परिभाशा,
सेवानै धर्म हो रहेछ,
आभारी छ।
अन्धकार छिचोल्दै,
सबैलाई दोहोर्याउदै,
आशाको उर्जा थपिदिने,
उज्यालो ह।
आभारी छौ,
तिम्रो हरेक प्रयासको लागि आभारी छौ,
आभारी छौ … आभारी छौ….
दुख कस्ट नभनि दतिरहने तिमि,
सुन्दर आत्मा सधै दिर्घायु छौ,
आफ्नो बारे नसोची स्वार्थ ति टाढा राखी,
संसारको लागि लड्ने प्रेरणा ह।
आभारी छौ,
तिम्रो हरेक प्रयासको लागि आभारी छौ,
आभारी छौ … आभारी छौ….
संसारको निराशा, आशामा फेरिदिने,
आत्मबलनै ठुलो हो रहेछ,
आभारी छौ,
यो जीवन जगत संसार बचाउने प्रयासमा ,
हर दिननै लडीनै रहेछौ,
आभारी छौ।
आभारी छौ,
तिम्रो हरेक प्रयासको लागि आभारी छौ,
आभारी छौ … आभारी छौ….
हामी उठ्ने छौ, जुर्ने छौ,
सबै संगै मिलि अघि बढ्ने छौ,
हामी धन्य छौ, जो तिमि छौ,
तिम्रो योगदानको गीत गाउनेछ।
आभारी छौ,
तिम्रो हरेक प्रयासको लागि आभारी छौ,
आभारी छौ … आभारी छौ….
