Let's have a foundation for bloggers in Nepal and get some help from Government for basic necessities even the Internet access, etc. A lucky you who have Rs in hand are only the main bloggers. With frequent powercuts, extreme electric bills and a few bucks from the heart breaking hardship of our dads and mum don't add much to our voices. in spite of all the hurdles, a few Nepali Journa have done more than even those in other countries born with a silver spoon in their mouth. So where is our citizen journa.. headed ? Will Nepali blogs be just texts and video or will it come close to becoming "I Report" of cnn.com I am very optimistic that Nepali blogs will soon dominate even the most popular news sites like kanti... and news... (add 1 dots; LOL!) Long live our efforts, and our courage. A gathering about ways to bring together all those at home be it in Pokhara or Palpa (and those abroad ) to collaberatley take the next step. If some are so fully couupied earning money and becoming more and more selfish, cross them out of the names, instead bring another. I am very sure, there are many hidden bloggers who have much more talent those who of us who could be enjoying the fame. (oh, god, don't count me, I suck at it!) Let's bring those hidden ones out. Make a path easy to walk trhough, let us all lead others. :) Ruben I couldn’t agree more with you.
