X-mas revellers throng Peace Project

Kathmandu:

It was one of the most memorable moments of the year when a crowd of over 4,000 people danced and enjoyed Christmas like there was no tomorrow. Thamel was packed with eager party animals. The main event of December 25, Peace Project 2008, was successful not only to make the crowd jump and dance but also let the party animals to break out from their mundane ‘dead line’ routine.

The 5th annual Peace Project captured the attention of every passer by as the stalling traffic in the area caused havoc on the surrounding roads. The traffic police were busy ushering vehicles to alternate roads as the road leading to Thamel was closed.

“This is no fun for us. We have to stand here the whole time managing the crowd and vehicles,” said Sub Inspector, Khadga Acharya.

Some girls even made their way to the stage requesting DJs to play Rock On once again. Apart from the mixes, the most interesting performance was the jam-up by DJ BMan and Shyam Nepali.
