Cancelled on account of rain

Yet another day in beautiful dusty Kathmandu has passed. Today though for the first time since our arrival, one of the 36 million gods in Hinduism let some well received rain fall on the ground of this mountain country. This rain, as needed as it may be, still caused some issues for our group as we were supposed to go temple-crawling today. As this could turn out to be an unpleasant experience, our facilitators decided to do it tomorrow, and instead have lessons on spreading the message of social change today. This gave me the opportunity to write a blog about spreading the message of social change, while spreading the message of social change. A meta-blog if you please. So here goes.

Your blog should start with a funny fact or a joke, like that you have an upset stomach or that your right hand got sunburned while you were mountain biking during the weekend, because you used it to rub sun screen on yourself and, at the end of the sun-screen-on-solar-exposed-bodyparts-rubbing-ritual, forgot to put sunscreen on it. Both are, sadly, in my case true.
Now your target group, and, or receivers, feel that they can trust and feel acquainted with you. At this point in your blog you have to tell your readers something interesting, educative or inspiring that you have experienced during the day. In my case it would be the conversations I have had with some of the people from the Global Change program on the platform who, under their dancing and laughing exteriors, are inspiring young men and women who fight for a change in their respective communities, and have achieved many times greater things than I have.
Now your readers have received, and hopefully understood your message. The only thing missing is to give your readers a reason to return to your blog. This could be telling them about all the cool things you do, and will write about the following days. On this particular blog, you will tomorrow be able to read about a trip to the marvelous Temples of Kathmandu, which is sure to be a very spiritually inspiring post.
Now end your blog post with something authentic and original, like a phrase in Nepali.

So, Pheri Bhetaula! (See you later)
