Twenty-four! The number is certainly not very big, but whenever I look at the attendence of the Blog Meet IV and saw that 24 bloggers attended the April 21 gathering, I feel great. Not only because it was double than the biggest previous meeting, but because the discussion today led us to a new direction.
The most motivating factor was participation of Buddhi Narayan Shrestha, the border issue expert, who will surely prove a big motivator for all bloggers and six female bloggers.
Everybody agreed that we need a formal structure, although there was hot discussion whether is should be registered or not. Going through self-nomination process, KP Dhungana, Ghanshyam Ojha, Deepak Adhikari, Ram Prasad Dahal, Bishnu Dhakal, Rajendra Biswokarma, Avinashi Paudel, Mohd Tajim and Tapas Barsimha Thapa became the members of the working committee while I nominated Umesh Shrestha.
For now, until the formal structure is made, I will be co-ordinating the working committee. Thanks all for approving me for the responsibility.
The other major decision made today include giving kick-start to book publication. KP Dhungana will be co-ordinating the work while all of us agreed to help him by writing what he will ask for. All the bloggers will write their blogging experience (either English or Nepali), Deepak will write a chapter on Nepali Blogging History, I will write the chapter on international trend on blogging while Salik Shah and Mohd Tajim will write a practical guidelines of using blogger.com and WordPress respectively.
As Deepak has written, the meeting was truly inclusive with six females participating, Rajendra representing dalit community and Tajim and Salik representing the Madhesi community. And Umesh has a wonderful photoblog of the meeting here.

Yes, I agree with you. I really appreciate Buddi sir’s interest to join Bolgan.
it was wonderful, it was more than chiya gaf.
Really, it was so interesting and encouraging today to see double numbers of bloggers as our past meet and the meet was totally interactive, too. Hope that our numbers will be in increasing trend.
I am a non-blogger babe now……Yet I like blogging and reading the sites i used to visit regularly.
I will be starting afresh …with a new and global name for blogging…sooner or later..
keep ur fingers crossing!
Lastly, hoping for the same sort of active participant of the bloggers frens in meeting in the days to come.
It is indeed a good move to gather around and share knowledge. But make it possible through the web itself for those who are far away yet still are part of the Nepali Blogs Cyberspace.
Let’s create a program where we have a LIVE meeting on the Internet. Perhaps Chat rooms for Bloggers which only opens in a specific date or time and we all go to it ?
It’s so nice that we are united . Tara aaja gossip blogger na aayara ali zoor vayo hai.
Timeru le godchha bhanera na-aayeko hola ni Mr.Gossip Blogger
Wow. Encouraging number of participants. I tried to get up at 11. Tara uthda ta ek po bajeko rahechha.
When I saw those names, I realised it was a mistake not participating today.
Did Mr. Lol (I mean Unfoldingreverie) show up? I could not figure out.
Lau Buddi Narayan Shrestha pani? I wanted to meet him for years. May be next time.
(Ujjwal, there are mistakes in the spelling of names. Khaasai farrak ta pardaina hola tara aru lai aafno naam ma galti dekhda chitta dukhlaa ni feri!)

By the way Ujjwal, there is something wrong with the links.

I hope I will be able to participate in the next meet. aahile lai yeti nai. Bloggayyy !!!!
Nice to know that BLOGAN is growing
Wish I could be there ?
Just wondering why the famous
Dinesh Wagle could not make it to your BLOGAN meet ?
Why would he have any excuses to such a novel cause ?
Is he now blogging alone, i mean separated from BLOGAN??? I also do not see any links on his blog.com.np to other Nepali bloggers. I guess he is one his own away from everybody ? Could that be true ?
Yeah nice to see Nepali bloggers joining the blog sphere.
I hope to see more professional bloggers in Nepali blog sphere. Like the doctors, engineers, lawyers, journalists, politicians and all sorts of people.
PEACE ON!
