While working at the Patan Museum, Rabindra Puri used to hop from one chok (courtyard) to another. In the early 1990s, it was his daily ritual and an escape from any roadblock in his work. But, he then went to Raymond University, Germany, to pursue a master's degree in development policies. Once graduated, he came back and returned to his old inspiration some years later--only to find several changes that he had never expected.
