Shambhu is an excellent professor who really cares about his students and wants them to do well. I took four semesters of Nepali and loved it! It's a challenging language to learn, but Shambhu is very patient and good at breaking down concepts.

I took 4 years of Nepali and did a semester in Nepal, graduated in 98. I loved Shambhu, and have so many great memories of his classes, hanging out at his house, etc. His classes were the best I took at Cornell. Intro classes were super, and it was even better in the advanced classes just hanging out and chatting with Shambhu. He is AWESOME!

BEST PROFESSOR AT CORNELL, HANDS DOWN. The language isn't the easiest but he makes it super fun and exciting. This was the BEST class I've ever taken at Cornell. Shambhu is probably the only professor at Cornell who is passionate about what he teaches and really cares for his students. TAKE TAKE!!

Shambhu is fantastic. I've studied spanish and german; but was worried about Nepali and its Sanskrit-derived srcipt. I felt really comfortable in his classes, and picked up the language quicker than I thought I would. Would definately recommend Shambhu to anyone interested in Nepal or Nepali.

put simply, the best teacher I've ever had. Shambhu is the man, and you should consider yourself lucky if you find yourself in his class. Secondly, nepali is an extremely beautiful language, and Nepal is possibly the most fascinating place on earth.
