Viewing the LA thread and other skool threads that've come and gone in sajha, just wanted to ask if there were any peeps who went to : Kathmandu Valley High School, Chakrapath, Mahrajgunj?

There is a huge new influx of KVHS peeps in NYC these days...And they had a reunion of sorts last spring where around 20 cats attended.  Would love to meet up with more folks who went to this gem of a skool.  BTW, anyone remember the Inter Skool Swimming Tourney back in '93 when KVHS made national headlines??  Was a kid back then, but man, the perfomances by both Tashis were a feat to behold: Both these guys took all the 1st place trophies in ALL events in the Senior Division...A clean Sweep!!  Man, those were some fond memories.

Also, how about the time during the Inter School Foot-Ball Tourney in '93 and D-Cops crooked against KVHS in the semis since they had the home-turf advantage??  HAHAH  I still remember the PT master, Thapa Budo give hell to the D-Cops' Coach, "ma National khiladi huda, taile mero boot tero ghati ma baandthe."  LOLs  All the players walked off the field even before it ended...KVHS had the best team then and it was sad seeing them lose that way.

Finally, the first batch of SLC candidates (circa '94), never ever knew this but insiders always knew of the SLC Board of Directors (Education Minisrty officials) came to school to Kalu Sir asking for 3 lakhs for any student to hit the Top 10 in the boards and 7 lakhs for Topping the Boards...Refusing to accept that saying that it is not right to cheat on such important issues, KVHS passed up on the offer.  That same year, Galaxy had 3 students in the Board 10.  Irony or what??  Galaxy a school that opened the same year as KVHS (in 1986 KVHS was built on a huge azz piece of land with 2 huge azz buildings while Galaxy was a one story building back then with no land for a playground)...After that "Board" year, Galaxy made more money than half of all private schools in the valley combined and it expanded until no tomorrow.  KVHS still remains the same.

How do I know this?  Well, I just do =D
