Born in eastern district of Nepal of Sankhuwasabha, Guragai came to Kathmandu in 2006 with high hopes of doing something extraordinary. Four years later in 2010, Thaneswar kept first World Record of Most Basketball Bounces in one Minute (444 times). He still aims for some other records in the near future.
