It's well worth going to MC from time to time, if you are in Kathmandu.

To learn more about MC, including why it's named Martin Chautari and no, say, Ram Chautari, please read this piece (in PDF) by C K Lal. The piece is somewhat dated,
but still relevant to first-time visitors to MC.

I never did attend MC while living in Kdu, though I was tempted at the time to go and at least observe. I probably wouldn't have understood much of anything being discussed. Off topic, Mr. Tiwari, do you plan to run for GAA president again in the future? Also, is Rajiv Pradhan the current prez? Just curious...

Take it easy.

No, I do NOT plan to run for the GAA presidency.

I ran last year -- and lost to Rajeev Pradhan (a much more deserving candidate!) in
a fair and free election. So that was that, though I remain grateful for the
experience.

Thanks for asking.

BTW, MC is a great place for all.
Go there.

Maybe Ashu you failed in planning properly for your own elections. You were too busy trying to plan out somewhere else. just a thought......
