What is it?

S4G, the un-mediated, not moderated social platform

Have you ever thought you have something to “express” with a social dimension but never had the opportunity to do it?

Then S4G is what you are looking for:

  • Open, unrestricted and easy to use
  • Three mediums to choose from: TEXT, VIDEO, PHOTO
  • A way to express your ideas, reflections and expertise, on social issues and broader development and society at large
  • You do not need to be an expert but just passionate about what you share

Here is one of Shakespeare’s sonnets:

 

Who will believe my verse in time to come,

If it were filled with your most high deserts?

Though yet, Heaven knows, it is but as a tomb

Which hides your life, and shows not half your parts.

If I could write the beauty of your eyes,

And in fresh numbers number all your graces

Close to 80 years have gone by since the last occurrence of such high magnitude in Nepal. And yet, Khokana sears memory as beyond time and space. Swathes of tilled land and communities of Newari homes still greet the traveler as they probably have for a very long time.

Inspired by a recent posting on aging, here some silly thoughts about why i wish i could be a croc under the sun or maybe Lanny Kravitz, a kind of sex symbol for many... Being dark skinned and feeling dark is cool. Be proud and feel proud despite all Bollywood actors selling themselves to whitening skin cream industry

I’m overwhelmingly and unendurably tired of all and sundry telling me how “young” I look at 37. Measured by any societal rule, I am expected to accept it as a compliment and feel happy for not re-presenting my true age. This is an open letter is all such people who think looking young is the most aspirational thing.

Summoning all the courage I could muster, I walked towards Bricks again a few days after April 25. I felt like the world had changed forever just standing at the entrance. The Café stood, sparse and skeletal, as a surreal reminder that this was an inescapable part of the past, present and future of Nepal. My world had changed - some parts in the hinterlands were now shards of their former selves.

Trust building will be an essential component if the existing gaps between Government and donors have to be bridged. Room for accommodation and compromise is possible if common sense prevails and political will exists.
