gori, you may actually find job there in new road, but perhaps not as good paying as in the west! chipledhunga, yes that is the gudpak shop i was trying to refer to. glad it is still there. i don't know why, but i did not stop by this store during my ktm lvisit ast sept. back to sanepa. yeah, there used to be swing set up on the garden just up the dhunge dhara during dasain/tihar. i think this open space had some benches to sit as well. also a large benyan tree. not sure if it had peeple tree as benyan and peepl go together at most places. the newar's house by the dhunge dhara always gave off stinking smell of jandh (fermented rice wine). the smell also came from his buffalos dung, eek! Remember that, chipledhunga? did you name yourself after the dhunge dhara? i remember the dara was quite chipl0 (slippery). i remember falling down several times while showring in that dhara! what a coincidence, eh? do you know if the dhunge dhara still gives water? or has it dried up? i hope not. btw, i went to amar sishu niketan and walking to from that school has always been cool memories that i fondly hold. there are actually severarl ways to get to school from where i lived. those narrow unpaved gallies (allies) including paved, but quaint roads then. feel free to add further....
