If you are currently in Nepal then you might be facing problems with the ever changing politics and load shedding schedule. This has disrupted the Nepalese public life and created a sense of frustration. At these times, how do you know what people are asking from the government? The angry public and frustration has always caused people to come out on the roads and revolt to the government.
At these times, very few – I think, know of the existence beyond the chaos of Nepal, particular all those bureaucrats working on their desk that doesn’t have a computer – forget the internet, there lies a mass of people connected in virtual World. In global terms – we call it Online Social Network. In simple words, it’s an online society where people from different part of the world connect to share their views and thoughts. Few examples are Facebook, Twitter and different blogs written by people.
I have been involved in the social network for almost a year; I have, in my network, Nepalese friends from every part of World. Everyday people are discussing of the issues in Nepal and on the welfare of Nepal.People are writing blogs and articles to create awareness and inform each other.

Sharing ideas has become so easy. Discussing on topics has become very exciting. Getting informed has never been so easy. These new movements contain maximum of youngster with new ideas and belief. Nepalese young force is no longer bounded, they are as free as a bird and many social media events and discussion proves it. Social media sees no geographical boundaries, and all the Nepalese all over the world are participating in this event to Nepal’s welfare. Nepal is under the visible spectrum of all the Nepalese.
But as always there is an issue of Digital Divide, there is an issue of lack of proper management of the resources. But people like Mahabir Pun and his efforts to close that divide can be seen through the social media.
Facebook Profile of Mahabhir Pun:
Main line media has always promoted violence news and pessimistic views. But I resist them, be it a reality or not, what we need to do is to move forward learning from mistakes. Nepalese on Social Media is an example of how people are promoting towards better Nepal, everywhere you can see that effort being made by each individual.
The reality of people can be seen through these windows created on Social Media. But we must not only watch through these windows but act, as well. The new social movement is happening through online forums, let’s be part of it.
