Patan museum slides in literature section are beautiful. Pictures
are very attractive, and deserve praise.
I didn't want to be a nitpicker, but it is obvious that people
could know better about the pictures if captions were better. I
mean some slides are marred because visitors are more prominent
than statues, and some slides are not captioned well or not
captioned at all, so we don't know what the pictures are.
Since I imply that the presenter of the slide is knowledgeable
on those heritages, a little extra effort from his would make
the slides very remarkable.I request those who know better(or the
slide preparer) to make a little more effort, and give accurate
names of all pictures of slides. That way, we can improve our
knowledge of our heritage.
Still,thank you very much for the slides. It is really a great
journey to our history and heritage.

Hi Biswo,
Your comments are quite relevant. Let me give a little bit
of a background.
Naresh Nanda Vaidya took the pictures, and Uday Bajracharya
developed the powerpoint slides. I asked San whether he would
host the slides, and he agreed to do so.
Uday, Naresh, others in the picture and I have known each other for more than 10 years now (we all first met as nature-loving campers/hikers through a group called ECCA), and, despite our busy schedules, we still try to get together once every two months or so in Kathmandu for day-hikes/travels to museums/art exhibits/momo parties/long motorcycle rides and stuff like that, basically, you know, to socialize and to blow off steam.
This trip to Patan Museum -- followed memorably by the famous "Baara (woh) and Alu ko achaar plus a generous serving of home-brewed ethanol at that place behind Krishna Mandir -- was organized by Neeraj Nepali.
Some of the captions are sort of personal and full of 'in-house' jokes and references, and I apologize for that. BUT, BUT and BUT the pictures were so good that I thought others too would enjoy looking at them, and think about visiting the museum when they
are in Patan next. The restaurant inside the museum, managed
by Hotel Summit, serves the best pasta in all of Kathmandu.
Again, thanks for your comments. Next time, when/if I have
pictures to share, I'll try to make the captions a lot
more informative while leaving out the 'in-house' jokes
and stuff like that. After all, hey, one lives and learns.
