Anuj Paudel in a green boat, Kathmandu

Anuj Paudel in an IOE Pulchowk jersey, out on still water in a green wooden boat.

Anuj Paudel sits in a green wooden boat on calm water, smiling and making hand signs at the camera. He wears a white and light blue jersey from IOE Pulchowk, the engineering campus he joined in 2022, with khaki trousers and a steel watch. The water is grey-green and still, with a tree-lined shore and a few rooftops far behind under a hazy, overcast Kathmandu sky.
