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...
