some images from the past…

Hey AA, I couldn’t find any other picture of you except this one – so here it goes. Should remind you of your beautiful hometown. For me it reminds of having to stay hungry. I know, I should have just ordered Daal-Bhat-Tarkari (Gundruk) for lunch rather than asking for the “~~fancy~~ alien” pasta on cheese sauce!!

A couple more pictures of that area follows.

Narayani river marking Chitwan-Nawalparasi border.

And a view of a village at the base of the hills in Nawalparasi.

All these pictures were taken in 2003.

And back to another BSAM picture excavation. I found this with the other picture that I posted here. I think we had just returned from a hiking/camping trip to Dhulikhel when this picture was taken. And it reminds me that we (our group – the whole class was divided into 4 groups I think) actually cheated on hiking most of the way by hitching rides on minibuses or on trucks – the leader of our group being the class prefect and obviously quite clever on those matters!!

I think half of these boys are in the army (and probably rest half abroad!), although its hard to stay in touch with most of them. When I think of it, I’m probably in touch (not so regularly but just “in touch”) with less than half a dozen! But its always great when I do get in touch with them.

…since this picture was taken. It doesn’t seem like a long time though for the memories are still vivid. 1st of January 1998 (a few days or may be weeks before this picture was taken by the way, if I remember correctly) – the whole class got punished because some of us decided to enjoy the new year’s eve a bit too much…happy days!!!

Remember Bhaktapur’s local raksi and chhoila anyone!?!

Anybody sees himself in the picture, comment please!! Especially the guy circled!!! Click for larger image.
