Prakash arrived in Hobart in 2009 with his wife with the intention to study Accounting, however, after only 6 months he switched to studying Commercial Cookery, though he had no prior experience. It proved a fortuitous joint as it lead to him eventually getting a position at a popular local seafood restaurant where he has now worked for 10 years , in the meantime being initiated into the mysteries of Aussie slang and occasional pranking by workmates.  

Prakash is a proud member of the growing Nepali community, now one of the largest  and fastest-growing in the state and has been heavily involved in the Nepali-community based cricket team the Gurkha Legends, for which he has big dreams.
