Well, we made it!
The third meetup of Nepali bloggers organised by Dautari was indeed successful. At least that’s the optimistic part and the best part to start with. Almost thirty bloggers from all over the world made it up to the live chat room to discuss on aspects of Nepali blogging.
Dautari, on its trend of organising, managed to go through the formal aspects of co-ordinating the whole program and making it a success. Thanks to all socially active Nepali Bloggers!
Now comes the progress part of the meetup. Generally, meetups are for sharing ideas and it’s expected that the participants within are benefited from the activity. This particular meetup had its own agenda to continue with the discussions. With specified two hours long discussion, bloggers were at least able to put forward their views on certain topics brought forward. Hope many of those who were actually ahead of the chat box reading the messages got something out of the box.
On the darker side, it wasn’t all smooth, though. First, I don’t think all those who signed up or at least informed to be, could make it up to the discussions. That’s fine, we all have our own complications and even reasons to protect our back. When I actually entered the chat box, there weren’t more than 25 bloggers in the chat list and it probably peaked up to 30 in number, gradually getting back to some 15 active ones. So that’s it, We may have more than 1500 Nepali blogs but when it came to meetup we had only 15 bloggers!
I agree with most bloggers saying that “most bloggers didn’t get the event info or it was too late”. In fact, I too discovered it just a day before the meetup. Some extra effort such as email newsletter and asking other blogs to write about the meetup would have improved the scenario. Hope Nepali Blogger meetups are better planned next time.
Let’s move on to something interesting now. As promised in my earlier post of Nepali Bloggers Meetup, I visited all the blogs of bloggers participating in the meetup. This really helped me to understand the Nepali blogging scenes. It took some time as I went up to leaving a message or comment, but it was really fruitful. And finally, I have come up with the list of blogs and few lines on who they are. Some link juice for you bloggers 🙂

The meeting was nice…but the absense of aakar, basant dai and dilip dai made the meeting a little bit disturbed ..i think !!!
Yes, and we even missed some who were in the list like archana, Dilip ..
Thanks brother for remembering us…but this was the first time I missed the Bhela… you actually new that where was I that day:)
Due to some unavoidable circumstance I was unable to attend the Blogger Bhela this time. But your last post and this post summary has flashed enough light to understand what happened that day.
