Hey guys anyone sajha members from Patan, Mangalbazzar? Just want to know if I can find some old friends as I am from Patan, Mangalbazzar. Please post if you ar from there.

I Am from Pulchwok. I know Anup Joshi . he was in Dallas a couple of months ago.

Ximplex,

Maile tyo inar najikkai mandir ko kura garya.
Center of Kwalkhu bhanya ta tyei ta ho ni haina ta?

Talking about inar najikkai ko UmaaMaheiswar ko Mandir? How about the Golden Temple? As far as I know there is around 11 Chowks in one of those clustered houses of Kwalkhu.
I also remember that Saandar 5 satar Momo that used be quiet a treat. Recently I heard that Wonga Shima has been rooted out.

whonacha ko aaloo. did anyone taste it ?
how about his famous daughter ?

There was this "Bagalmukhi momo" between Mangalbazaar and Mahapaal. Was one of the good one in Patan.

Patandhoka Hall aghi ko Tibetan restaurants pani gazab thiyo. That KB Momo restaurant was still there. Although Ashok Hall is now a Party place.

Hi, you guys have not mentioned about the Halwai Pasal at Mamadu Galli, i.e. just behind the Krishna Mandir. Did you ever try Jeri, Swari from that shop? Perfect for the breakfast with a cup of Chiya.

Yes, to my dismay, I saw in my last visit, the giant wonga sheema has been rooted out, leaving the view of Patan as piles of concrete, without any greenery. When I was a child, occassionally my kite used to entangle into that ramified tree, often making me curse it. But I never meant or wished the end of it. Now the uprooting of that historical and centuries old tree has left Patan without greenery, and possibly what could be called a historical landmark.

It is said that the particular peepal tree was planted in the palace of the Kirant Kings, which later grew up so enormously that it destroyed the palace itself, the ruins of which is said to be buried underneath where the tree used to stand. The root of the peepal tree spread underground as far as Banglamukhi in the north and TaBahal in the south, which gave birth to the peepal bote in Banglamukhi and TaBahal respectively.

There is also a palace styled temple on the way from that tree to Mahapal, which is said to be a sacred temple of the Kirant Kings. This tells how old and historical Patan is.

anybody know Rashmi! she is also from Lalitpur, she lives in Dallas now.

What's Rashmi's real name and lastname ? May be I know her.

Three Star club of Mangalbazar...Rocks!

hey, i m not from proper patan but i guess sanepa could be accepted as viscinity of patan as it is quite near to patan. i have some fond memories of patan as the stationary shops in patan, particularly the one outside the ashok cinema, used to be my favourite hangouts as i was a big comics manic. watched few movies at ashok cinema, played cricket n football in pulchowk campus, used to visit mangalbazar quite often. the word patan makes me nostalgic as i had spent a wonderful part of my life around it...... really those were the days. guys, patan rocks.
cheers...

Me not from Patan from I know every gallis from Patan
