The Paulite meet at Katmandu on 13th December 2012.

The gathering happened at a Hip venue which is normally a hangout for the youth of Katmandu, “The Attic” and consisted of Paulites from the batch of 2001 to 2008. The chief coordinator of the meet was young Saswat Bajracharya (2007). Saswat has already  volunteered to lend his rich baritone voice to the Event and this meet provided the opportunity to hear his vocal capabilities ‘live’. With Akash Gurung on the Keyboard, and Saswat’s  lead guitarist Ashish, the gathering joined in to sing Amazing Grace. Saswat, of course, sang most of the other songs,  solo. The main gastronomic fuels for the evening were momos (of-course), chilly hot Sukuti Sadheko, various types of kebabs and alcohol of course.
Another meet also took place on the 14th at “Moksh” , another happening restaurant in Katmandu, where a few Paulites from the batch of 1991 showed up. Notably, Gurvesh Singh, Vikash Shah and Ashish Bhandari.  Suresh Vaidya (1982) and Suraj Vaidya (1978) could not make it to the meet.
