It was a great experience to watch Standard Chartered Bangkok Marathon 2011, Bangkok at 3 am. I was invited by our Nepali participant Mr. Mahendra Man Maharjan and his coach our veteran player Mr. Baikuntha Manandhar.
It was a memorable time to watch the start of the game and talk with Mr. Manandhar. He shared his past experience with me and my other friends Dr. Ashish Subedi from Nepal and Mr. Hilal and Mr. Alam from Pakistan. There were many runners from around the world of different age.

It is always a good time going around to these heritage sites with friends. I just wanted to share some of the picture from Patan Durbar Square, Mangalbazar and Kartik Naach which is celebrated every year at this place. This place consists of many temples major being Krishna Mandir, right now many renovation works are going around there.

I went to Basantapur to capture some moments at day and night time.This is a world heritage site, we have five story palace, Taleju Bhawani Temple, Kumari Ghaar and Hanuman Dhoka. Hippie era’s famous freak street also lies around this area.

While Taking picture at night, i felt something was missing here. This is a world heritage site and we can attract lots of tourist here at night too but that time i did not find a single tourist around.

I wish if the concerns authority of  Basantapur Durbar square do something to promote tourist activities at night in this area. I was visualizing how would the Taleju Bhawani Temple and Nine Story Palace looks if they use some Flood lights there, or use some focus light at Gaddi Baithak.

It was my dream to take some picture of rock band performing and watch the concert in front row. This time I got this opportunity in Kathmandu.  I think that Nepal is now opening up for some great rock bands. We saw Bryan Adams last year, there was a rumor that The Scorpions are coming ( this news excited me but there is no news after the announcement about it ) and next month Kathmandu is going to see Michael Learns To Rock (MLTR). On 15th October there was another event organized by the Silent Festival which tried to expose some underground music scene of Nepal. This event just did not expose the Nepalese underground music but it invited one of the pioneers of black metal Vader from Poland.

After a long time, I got an opportunity to watch Nepal’s National Team football. This time in my opinion Nepal faced a strong team. It is a team who played 2010 FIFA world cup in South Africa and they recently got back from Asia Cup 2010.

I thought Nepal will try their best effort to not to concede many goals as they have been doing it in past with strong teams of Asia. This time my thoughts went all wrong. They showed the Nepali fans that they are capable of playing a good game.
