FIRST WOMAN ENGINEER Jan/Feb 2005<br />
Shanti Malla was, for almost seven years, the first<br />
and only woman engineer in the country. She<br />
spent a major part of her working life at the<br />
Department of Housing as an engineer, and six<br />
and a half years as a first class officer in the Anti<br />
Corruption Bureau. Today, she runs a school that<br />
she founded, Ananda Vidya Mandir in Koteswore,<br />
Kathmandu.<br />
A SAMPLE OF THINGS TO COME Jan/Feb 2005<br />
Namuna Ghar of Bhaktapur, recipient of an UNESCO<br />
award, is the brainchild of an artist cum academician,<br />
Rabindra Puri who however, prefers to be called a<br />
‘restorer’. Seeing that almost 80% of original materials<br />
were reused during the restoration of Namuna Ghar,<br />
and much effort put in to ensure originality of other<br />
materials, Rabindra Puri certainly deserves to be called<br />
just that- a restorer.<br />
BABER MAHAL REVISITED MAR/APR 2005<br />
The restoration of Baber Mahal Revisited was<br />
a labour of love for Gautam SJB Rana, greatgreat<br />
grandson of Maharaja Chandra SJB<br />
Rana. Indeed, a great deal of motivation must<br />
have been needed to transform dilapidated<br />
stables and run-down guard quarters to what<br />
is on view today- a truly remarkable monument.<br />
