गाईजात्रा नेवार समुदायमा मनाइने चाड हो । गाईजात्रालाई हास्यव्यङ्ग्यसँग पनि जोडेर यो पर्व मनाइन्छ । हिन्दू धर्ममा गाई पवित्र जनावर हो । याे दिन दिवङ्गत आफन्तको नाममा गाईलाई पूजा गरेर उसको पिठिउँमा पहेँलो वस्त्र लगाइदिएर घुमाउने गरिन्छ । मृतकको आत्माको शान्तिको कामना गर्दै यो पर्व मनाइएको हो । नेवारी भाषामा यो पर्वलाई 'सापारु' भनिन्छ । 'सा' को अर्थ गाई र 'पारु' को अर्थ प्रतिपदा तिथि हो जुन दिन यो चाड मनाइन्छ । संस्कृतिविद ग्वंग अनुसार गाईजात्रा मनाउने क्रममा वर्षभरि ज्यान गुमाएका आफन्तहरूको सम्झनामा विम्ब खडा गर्ने परम्परा छ । भक्तपुरमा बालबालिकाको मृत्यु भएको छ भने केटा मर्दा केटाको लुगा र केटी मर्दा फरिया डोकोमा बेरेर गाईको चित्र र त्यसमा परालको सिङ गुथेर सिन्दूर, टीका र मालाले पूजा गरिन्छ र नगर घुमाउन लैजाने चलन छ । यसमा कसैले कसैलाई नछेकुन् भनेर त्यससँग मुकाबिला गर्न त्यहाँका टोलटोलका मान्छेहरू घिन्ताङघिसी भन्ने नाच नाच्छन् ।
We always wanted to visit Singapore. When we first got the passport, we couldn't go due to the pandemic. Once the Covid cases got reduced, we decided to go.
The day before our flight, we all packed our bags. I was super excited that night. I remember, I couldn’t even sleep due to the excitement. I was feeling a bit sad about leaving behind my dog ‘Clip’ too!
The next day, I waved goodbye to my dog. Our flight was scheduled for 5 pm. We reached the airport some time before. My parents did all the necessary formalities and boarded the plane. We had a transit at Delhi from where we reached our destination Singapore!
I was surprised looking at the clean environment as soon as we stepped into the airport!
I experienced many things there. We visited museums, attended light shows, and shopped in big malls. Each of the things were awesome! We did a boat ride too! The light shows were my personal favourite! I hope to visit the place sometime again!
Halloween is a much-loved holiday that transforms the world into a magical and spooky place. It is celebrated in the evening of October 31st and has deep historical roots, blending ancient traditions with modern festivities. Halloween's origins go back to the Celtic festival of Samhain, when people believed that the boundary between the living and the dead was very thin, allowing spirits to roam the earth. To keep these spirits away, the Celts lit bonfires and wore costumes.
Nowadays, Halloween is a fun holiday for people of all ages. Kids dress up in costumes and go door-to-door for candy, while adults enjoy transforming into their favourite characters for a night. Haunted houses, corn mazes, and spooky decorations make neighbourhoods exciting, and horror movies and ghost stories add to the frightening atmosphere. Carving pumpkins into scary or funny faces has become an art.
Halloween is charming because it lets us enter a world of make-believe. Witches, vampires, and werewolves feel real, and the everyday world is put on hold. People get creative by making their own costumes, becoming superheroes, mythical creatures, or famous historical figures. Halloween is a time to embrace the mysterious and supernatural and have fun with the mysterious or ghostly side of life.
मलाई मन पर्ने चाडपर्व भन्नेबित्तिकै रमाइलो कुराको याद आउँछ । प्रायः सबैजसो चाडबाडहरू रमाइला हुन्छन् । चाडबाडमा विद्यालय छुट्टी हुन्छ । दसैँमा सकेको मिठो खाना र राम्रो लुगा पाइन्छ । परिवार र आफन्तहरू सँगै बस्ने, भेला हुने र मिठा मिठा कुराकानी गर्दा रमाइलो हुन्छ। मलाई मन पर्ने चाडहरूमध्ये दसैँ पर्व पनि एक हाे । दसैँ पर्व हामी नेपालीहरूको सबैभन्दा ठूलो चाड हो । दसैँलाई हामी बडादसैँ पनि भन्दछौँ । हिन्दु धर्म मान्ने नेपालीहरूले दसैँ हर्षोल्लासका साथ मनाउँछन् । दसैँ घटस्थापनाको दिनदेखि जमरा राखेर सुरु हुन्छ र कोजाग्रत पूर्णिमाको दिन जमरा सेलाएपछि अन्त्य हुन्छ । प्रतिपदाको दिनदेखि नवमीको दिनसम्म विभिन्न शक्ति देवीहरूको पूजा हुन्छ । नवदुर्गा भवानीका नाममा पूजा गरिन्छ र विजयादशमीका दिन देवी दुर्गा भवानीको प्रसाद स्वरूप आफूभन्दा ठुला र मान्यजनबाट टीका र जमरा लगाइन्छ । दसैँमा केटाकेटीहरू पिङ खेल्छन्,चङ्गा उडाउँछन् । दसैँमा रङ्गीचङ्गी फूलहरू फुलेका हुन्छन् ।
The Sun is like a giant, fiery ball in the sky, and it is the closest star to our planet, Earth. The Sun is very important, and we can learn some cool things about it!
What is the Sun? The Sun is a big star, much bigger than 1000 Jupiters. It is made of super-hot gases, with the main gases being hydrogen and helium. The centre of the Sun is incredibly hot, even hotter than anything you can imagine; it is hotter than the highest temperature a fire can reach. However, this is the lowest temperature of the Sun because this is the temperature of the Sun's outer layer. Now, let us discuss the temperature of the Sun's inner core, which is the hottest part. The temperature of the inner core of the Sun is a whopping 10,000 times hotter than the hottest part of a fire (the white part). This is where the Sun generates the heat and light that it provides for us. We are not harmed by this extreme heat because we are protected by the ozone layer.
The Sun's Light and Heat: The Sun is like a giant flashlight for us. It emits light and warmth to Earth, giving us day and night. When the Sun is up in the sky, it is daytime, and when it is not, it is nighttime. This cycle occurs because Earth rotates, with half of it experiencing daylight and the other half in darkness. The Sun's light is essential for photosynthesis in plants and provides us with warmth.
Sunspots and Solar Activity: Occasionally, the Sun develops dark spots on its surface, known as sunspots. These are cooler areas created by the Sun's strong magnetic fields. Sunspots can influence our weather and even create colourful lights in the sky, known as auroras.
The Sun's Life: The Sun is very old, approximately 4.6 billion years old, making it a middle-aged star. However, in the distant future, it will change. It will expand and then contract, ultimately becoming a white dwarf. But this transformation will not occur for a very long time. The Sun is projected to reach the end of its life after about 5 billion years, with an additional 2–3 billion years of experiencing the various stages of star death. Fortunately, this is a long way off, and there is no need to worry about it.
The Sun in Our Culture: People all around the world have admired the Sun for centuries. It is seen as a symbol of hope, happiness, and warmth. The Sun plays an important role in many celebrations and occasions. It brings us light, and it is something we all share, regardless of where we are on Earth. In various cultures, such as during the Chhath festival, people worship the Sun as a symbol of God, thanking it for providing us with light and heat.
In conclusion, we should always be thankful for the Sun because it gives us light and warmth and makes our planet a great place to live. It is like a big, bright friend in space, and we could not live without it.

Pizza is very delicious. Most of us love to have it. It tastes just as delicious as it looks! But, it didn’t used to be as fancy as it looks at present time. Earlier, pizza was called peasant food. It is said to be first made in Naples in 1889 by baker Raffaele Esposito. But people there used to have flat bread with toppings even before that time.
Pizza is now available all over the world. Pizza is an easy food for people especially when they are busy. It is said that about 350 slices of pizza are eaten every second in a minute in the USA.

Education is one of the most important human needs. It is the light of life that brings darkness to brightness. Only education helps to make us successful human beings. An educated person has a better chance of getting a job. If a country has sufficient educated citizens, it can move towards development.
