"Math is my passion and music is my salvation. How lucky am I that I am in two professions, as a current math teacher at Butte College for 30 years (also retired from Chico State University after teaching for 26 years) and as a dj for 27 years teaching the goodness of reggae music. Both professions were purely accidental for me. I worked as a math tutor for extra income when I was asked if I would teach and as an avid collector of reggae music, was asked if I would dj. Not sure if I would have wanted to do either at the time, I feel blessed now as I look back. My radio show was called, “Chooguloogu’s Crucial Cuts” initially and it has been renamed “Dev-a-station Sounds” since 2000. Having collected over 25000 reggae vinyls, I present my show with the rarest and heaviest sounds I can bring with emphasis on esoteric singers. Being a frequent traveler at fifty-five, I have travelled to fifty-three countries, and I aim to tally the numbers to my age. I have generously contributed for social and humanitarian causes, be it in providing scholarships to children, raising funds during disasters, or in logistically supporting schools and organizations. I feel even more lucky to have two homes, one right here in beautiful Chico and other the place I grew up, my beautiful homeland of Nepal."
