My Birthday falls during the holiday time. One day before my last birthday, I went to a mall with my parents. They bought me so many gifts. I got a toy car, a chess, pokemon cards, a monopoly set and word search board. I was happy to get all of those gifts because I could now enjoy playing them with my brother. I went to another place, ate pastries and played some games. I had a lot of fun.
My parents took me to a place called ‘Garden of Dreams’. It is also called Kaisher Mahal. It is a beautiful place with a big garden. My parents told me that It survived the great earthquake without a scratch. I had fun running around the garden with my brother.
On my birthday, I went to Ganesh Temple to receive the blessings of lord Ganesh. My mother bought me some clothes. I also bought cupcakes and donuts. My mother cooked yummy food at home. She also ordered a big cake for my birthday. I enjoyed a lot.
Tihar is a festival of lights. It is the greatest hindu festival, which falls in the month of October or November, right after Dashain. This festival is celebrated for five days. Each of the five days of this festival is dedicated to celebrating and worshipping different gods and animals.
The first day of Tihar is known as Kaag Puja. On this day, we worship the crows and give delicious food to them. The second day of Tihar is known as Kukur Puja. On this day, we worship the dogs. They are also given delicious food and hang garland on their necks with tikas on their foreheads.
The third day of Tihar is known as Gai-Laxmi Puja. In Gai-Laxmi puja, we worship the cows and
goddess Laxmi. In the morning, cows are worshipped with garlands hung around their necks and red strings around their tails. In the afternoon, the entire house is cleaned and groomed. People may even put fancy lights in their rooms and outside their houses. Houses are cleaned, and the doorways and windows are decorated with garlands made of marigold flowers (Sayapatri). People also paint small patterns of footprints to welcome the goddess Laxmi. They use colours to create beautiful patterns called rangoli.
In the evening, the house is decorated with candles. Decorative lights are placed outside. Children engage in playing with firecrackers. Although firecrackers were not permitted last time, some people still engaged in this activity. However, it is important to remember that excessive use of firecrackers should be avoided due to noise pollution and safety concerns.
It is preferable to use small firecrackers that produce less noise and are not dangerous. This procedure is followed throughout the entire Tihar festival.

In the beginning, my art was not up to the mark.To be honest, it was really bad. Each time I tried doing better, I would end up failing in each attempt. When I was In grade 2, my best friend helped me a lot. He gave me ideas about many things that would help my art. I started practicing a lot at home. I even searched for online instructions to help me make my art better. Eventually, I started improving. My art teacher was really happy because I was better than almost everyone. My teacher gave me more ideas about arts and the areas I needed to focus.
Now, I am very good at it. I really like it when I can help my friends when they are in need during the arts classes. I usually draw anime, Buddha and sceneries. I have even got an art level up certificate.
But all I would like to say is that my art journey wasn’t easy. I devoted my time and regular practice to reach here and I have more to learn in this field.
Whenever it rains, I feel sad
It reminds me of good and bad
Our sadness, our glory,
reminds me of my story
But rain keeps us alive, its true,
Without it we wouldn’t make it through
Without the rainy water in the sky,
We know, we’ll all die
Even if it brings me some pain,
I still like it when it rains
All that water, all the rain
It's a part of nature’s wonderful chain.

I don’t keep myself updated with political news but I am a bit interested in current affairs. I have observed my mother following the event of Miss Nepal 2023 with great enthusiasm. She knows all the participants’ names and their qualities. This drew my attention and I too spent my time staying updated with the event. The annual event took place in Lalitpur on 27th may. This was the 27th edition of Miss Nepal Pageant.
Starting off with a few facts, Miss Nepal competition started in Nepal in the year 1994. There was a lot of debate when this program got introduced as beauty pageants had never happened in the country before. However, in spite of lots of oppose, the program got conducted and Ms. Ruby Rana Shah was crowned the first Miss Nepal.
Coming back to 2023, the event had 24 participants who had been selected on the basis of regional auditions made throughout the country. The participants were then groomed by experts for about 2 months.
The top 5 finalists presented very well on topics provided by the judges. I really liked Ms. Prasiddhy Shah’s views on ‘Tourism Development Possibilities’. It was a tough competition as all of the participants were really competitive. However, Ms. Srichchha Pradhan won the title of Miss Nepal 2023.
There was a man who was very close to me and had a special place in my heart. He was born in a remote area of Nepal. When he was born, his family was wealthy in the village. However, when he was four years old, his father left him and his mother, who were then raised by his grandparents and uncle in the same village. He used to mention that his father and grandfather often fought over the family property, which was ultimately inherited by his grandfather's brothers simply because his father was born later in the family. After a few years, his father brought him and his mother to Terai, a region where the temperature could reach 40 °C, making it extremely hot. Despite the heat, he would walk 21 kilometres every day from his new home to school, and he even enjoyed cycling to school. He excelled in his studies, and his father would provide him with additional homework, along with his school assignments, to keep him engaged in books. After completing his homework, he would go play in the community forest with his friends, who were mostly from the Tharu community. They would play together and hunt crabs, enjoying delicious crab barbecues. Although he had a joyful childhood, he remained focused on his future aspirations. His dream was to become a scientist and work at NASA. One day, while playing with a puppy alongside his brother and sister, he did not hear his mother calling for help. Upon his return, he found that his mother had passed away. At the age of 12, he lost his mother, and this tragic life started. A few years later, his father married his own aunt. In pursuit of his dreams, he came to Kathmandu for further studies. Unfortunately, due to poverty, his father was unable to provide him with enough money to support his studies and living expenses. Consequently, he could not complete his higher education and started working to save money for his future studies. However, when he met a girl who showed him the love he had been missing since childhood, he became deeply involved in family matters but still could not finish his studies. Nevertheless, he has become an entrepreneur and continues to carry a dream that he aims to fulfil in the future. This man is incredibly interesting to me and serves as an inspiration, as he possesses remarkable resilience in life and never ceases to chase his dreams.
बुद्ध भगवान नेपालमा जन्मिनु भएको हो । बुद्ध भगवानको नाम सिद्धार्थ गौतम हो । बुद्ध भगवानको जन्म लुम्बिनीको कपिलवस्तुमा भएको थियो । उहाँको बुबाको नाम शुद्धोधन हो । उहाँ लुम्बिनीकाे कपिलवस्तु राज्यका राजा हुनुहुन्थ्यो । उहाँ एकदिन सहर घुम्न गएका बेलामा उहाँले बुढो मान्छे, राेगी मान्छे, मरेको मान्छे देखेर मान्छे किन बुढो हुन्छ ? किन मर्छ ? भन्ने प्रश्न उहाँको मनमा आयो तर त्यसको उत्तर पाउन सक्नुभएन । उहाँकाे विवाह यशोधरा सँग भयो । उहाँ एकदिन आफ्नो घर परिवार र दरबार सबै छोडेर ज्ञानको खोजीमा हिँड्नुभयाे । उहाँले बाेधी रुखमुनि तपस्या गरेर ज्ञान प्राप्त गर्नुभयो ।
रुख एउटा सजीव प्राणी हाे । सानाे बिरुवा पछि गएर ठुलाे रुख बन्छ । रुख भएन भने हामी बाँच्न सक्दैनाैँ । रुखले हामीलाई अक्सिजन दिन्छ । हामीले सास फेर्न पाउँछाैँ । धेरै रुख भएकाे ठाउँलाई जङ्गल भनिन्छ । जङ्गल चराचुरुङ्गी र वन्यजन्तुकाे बासस्थान हाे ।रुख नभए चराचुरुङ्गी र बन्यजन्तुकाे बासस्थान पनि समाप्त हुन्छ । रुखबाट घाँस दाउरा पनि पाइन्छ । झ्याल,ढाेका बनाउन प्रयाेग गरिने काठ पनि रुखबाट नै प्राप्त हुन्छ । धेरै रुख भएकाे ठाउँमा पानी धेरै पर्छ ।
रुखले हामीलाई बाढी पहिराेबाट बचाउँछ । रुखले वातावरणलाई सुन्दर र रमणीय बनाउँछ । हामीले रुख कहिल्यै काट्नुहुँदैन । एउटा रुख काटेमा धेरै रुख रोप्नुपर्छ । खाली ठाउँमा रुख रोप्नुपर्छ । रुख बिरुवाले वातावरणलाई हरियाली बनाउँछ । रुखले हामीलाई विभिन्न प्रकारबाट फाइदा पुर्याएको छ ।
