So, the story started when my mother was trying to learn how to ride a scooter. I was really young back then, like 6 years old. My father had recently bought a car back then, and we had a scooter at our home, too. Since the arrival of the car, the scooter had not been in use. It was just left alone in our house. Wherever we wanted to go, we took our car. My father noticed that, and asked my mother to learn to ride a scooter because back then my mother was just a housewife, unlike now. Since my father always took the car to his office and whenever there was an emergency at our house, we would always have to call a taxi. So, my mother agreed. She could balance the scooter since she could ride a bicycle, but she didn't know how to hit the brakes properly and how to turn on the lights at night. The road near my house was a nice one, therefore she practiced there with my father. My father had told both me and my big brother not to stay out on the road because my mother got scared whenever we were out. My brother obeyed our father and stayed inside the house, but I don't know what got into me. I didn't obey him at all. I walked out of the house, went to the road and got hit by a vehicle. Guess what, the vehicle was the one that was at my house. The one that was lonely. The one my mother was practicing with. I still remember that the scooter ran over me. I was rushed to the hospital. I had gotten into an accident. But I think that God saved me because the accident was really bad and horrifying. I think it was the grace of God that had brought me back, because I had some serious injuries and the one on my leg was really bad. I still have the scar on my right leg. The doctor had also said that my leg should have been gone, but somehow it survived. I was relieved to hear that because I didn't want to live my life without a leg. My leg survived but I had to stay at the hospital for 3 days and my right leg was in a cast. The time was really bad but it recovered and I'm fine now. Now, my mother also knows how to ride a scooter, but she has a life-long trauma because of my disobedience.

A single note of money

Can't buy a smile in your face

But can buy you something

That doesn’t make you happy.

Money can just make you happy

For a while or a day

But later in your life, you

Will always be sad

Having money doesn't make you happy

It only makes you feel good

Money also brings ego

And also, some heat in your brain.

A poor person will be happy

Even if he doesn't have money

But a rich person will be sad

Even with millions worth of money.

Rich person will still be sad

Because he doesn't have a Ferrari

Lamborghini or private jet

Or even a big house.

But a poor person will

Still be happy

Even if he has no money

But he has something he's happy about.

So, all of this means that

Even with heaps of money

It’s something else

That makes you happy.

The Patan Museum shows old art from Nepal in a fancy building. It's in a special place called Patan Durbar, where kings used to live. The museum has nice, beautiful doors and windows that make it look great. It mostly has statues of Hindu and Buddhist gods. 

The museum has three floors: downstairs, upstairs, and another upstairs. It has a café outside, gardens, and shops with Nepal stuff. You can also go to talks and workshops there.

Inside, there are nine parts to look at: downstairs, Gallery A (where you start, learning about the museum's things), Gallery B (stuff about Shiva, a Hindu god), Gallery C (about Vishnu, another Hindu god), Gallery D (learn about early Buddhism and something called tantrism), Gallery E (more about Buddhism), Gallery F (even more about Buddhism), Gallery G (about metal stuff), and Gallery H (you can see old pictures of Nepal here).

The museum is really pretty, I think it's the best one I've seen.

नेपाल एक सानो देश हो। यो पूर्णरूपमा विकसित भएको पनि छैन। नेपालमा धेरै खेलकुदहरू खेलिन्छन्। जसमा  क्रिकेट पनि एक हो। अहिलेको समयको कुरा गर्नुपर्दा नेपाल क्रिकेट सङ्घले धेरै दर्शकको साथ र प्रेरणा पाएको छ। छोटो समयमा लामो छलाङ मारेको नेपालले आगामी महिना अमेरिका तथा वेस्ट इन्डिजमा हुने टि20 पुरुष विश्व कप खेल्न गइरहेको छ। यसमा नेपालको प्रदर्शन सम्माननीय हुन्छ भन्ने नेपाली समर्थकको आशा छ। विश्वकपमा २० टिम सहभागी छन्, जसलाई चार समूहमा विभाजन गरिएको छ। समूह ‘क’मा  भारत, पाकिस्तान,  आइल्यान्ड, क्यानडा र अमेरिका छन्। त्यसैगरी समूह ख मा  इङ्ल्यान्ड, अस्ट्रेलिया, नामिबिया, स्कटल्यान्ड तथा ओमान रहेका छन्। त्यसैगरी  तेस्रो समूहमा  न्युजिल्यान्ड, वेस्ट इन्डिज, अफगानिस्तान, युगाण्डा र पपुवा न्युगिनी छन्। विश्वकपको अन्तिम समूहमा  नेपालसहित  साउथ अफ्रिका, श्रीलङ्का,बङ्गलादेश र नेदरल्यान्ड छन्। समूह चरणमा नेपालले नेदरल्यान्डलाई हराउने  कुरामा  नेपालका समर्थकहरू  आशावादी छन्। अझ विश्वकपका नेपालका खेलहरूमा  स्टार्सपिनर सन्दीप लामिछाने  आउने भएकाले  समर्थकहरुमा थप उत्साह बढेको छ। नेपालले जुन ४ मा नेदरल्यान्डसँग, जुन १२ मा श्रीलङ्कासँग, जुन १५ मा साउथ अफ्रिकासँग र जुन १७ मा बङ्गलादेशसँग खेल्नेछ। नेपालका समूहमा रहेका चार टिममध्ये नेपालले तीनवटा टिमलाई हरायो भने  नेपाल शीर्ष आठमा  पुग्नेछ र लगत्तै २०२६ को विश्वकपमा पनि  स्थान पक्का गर्नेछ। नेपालका लागि १५ सदस्य टोली पनि घोषणा भइसकेको छ। जसमा कुशल भुर्तेल,कप्तान रोहित पौडेल,अनिल शाह, आसिफ शेख,कुशल मल्ल,दिपेन्द्र, सिंह ऐरी,ललितनारायण राजवंशी,करण केसी,गुल्सन झा,सोमपाल कामी, प्रतिश  प्रतिस जिसी, सन्दीप जोरा, अविनाश बोहरा, कमल सिंह ऐरी र सागर ढकाल, त्यसैगरी सन्दीप लामिछाने पनि अटाएका छन्। यी खेलाडीहरूमध्ये  कुनै १ प्लेयरलाई सब्सिट्युटमा (सट्टामा) राखिनेछ। नेपालले यो विश्वको पहिलोपटक खेल्न लागेको भने होइन।  नेपालले २०१४ मा पनि  बंगलादेशमा भएको  विश्वभरको विश्व कप खेलेको थियो। नेपालको वर्तमान टोलीमा रहेका सोमपाल कामी  मात्र एक खेलाडी हुन् जसले  दोस्रोपटक नेपालको तर्फबाट यो विश्वकप खेल्दैछन्। नेपाली टोलीको कुरा गर्ने हो भने ओपनरका रूपमा  कुशल भुर्तेल, आसिफ शेख,  तथा अनिल शाहलाई प्रयोग गर्न सकिन्छ त्यसैगरी मिडल अर्डरमा  रोहित पौडेल  दिपेन्द्र सिंह ऐरी गुल्सन झा सन्दिप जोरा  कुशल मल्ल जस्ता खेलाडीलाई प्रयोग गर्न सकिन्छ र  फिनिसरका रूपमा अन्त्यमा  कमल सिंह ऐरी,  प्रतिश जिसी,  सोमपालकामी करण केसी,  अविनाश बोहरा सागर ढकाल र सन्दीप  लामिछानेबाट छानेर खेलाउन सकिन्छ। नेपालका कप्तान रोहित कुमार पौडेलले आफ्नो टिम मैदानमा  सक्दो राम्रो प्रदर्शन गर्ने  बताउँछन्। यो विश्वकप नेपालको लागि  ठूलो अवसर पनि हो। नेपाल क्रिकेटका वर्तमान दिनहरूलाई हेर्दा   हामी भन्न सक्छौँ कि नेपालले आगामी विश्वकपमा राम्रो प्रदर्शन गर्नेछ र नेपालले वर्तमानमा भारत पाकिस्तान अस्ट्रेलिया जस्ता बलिया राष्ट्रलाई पनि हराउन सक्छ भन्न सकिन्छ। जय नेपाल। जय क्रिकेट।

यसपटक दसैँ र तिहारको बिदामा म बुबा र भाइसँग हेटौँडा गएँ ।  म बिहान ५ बजे उठेँ । आफ्नो नित्यकर्म सकेँ । लुगा मिलाएपछि खाना खाएर म बस चढ्न गएँ । त्यहाँ म १० बजे पुगेँ  । एउटा बसमा चढेँ । त्यो बस २ घन्टापछि त्यहाँबाट हिँड्यो । त्यो बस हेटाैँडा हुँदै बिराटनगर जाने थियो । सबै मान्छे भरिएपछि बस हिँड्यो । बस बल्खुबाट हिँड्यो । बाटामा हामीले धेरै कुराहरू हेर्न पायाैँ । बाटामा धेरै पसलहरू थिए । हामी टीकाभैरव हुँदै गयौँ । मैले बाटोमा धेरै कुराहरू देखेँ  । बिचमा एकचोटि गाडी रोकिएको बेलामा हामीले खाना खायाैँ । मैले त्यहाँ धेरै ऐतिहासिक ठाउँ र मकवानपुर दरबार देखेँ । त्यहाँ हामीले नेपालको ठुलो झण्डा देख्यौँ । बिचमा बस रोकियो । सबै शाैचालय गए । पाँच मिनेटपछि बस गुड्न थाल्यो । धेरै मानिसहरू बसमा कुरा गरिरहेका थिए । रमाइलो गरिरहेका धेरैले  खानेकुराहरू खाइरहेका थिए । कतिपयले रेडिमेट खाना खाइरहेका थिए र सडकमा फोहोर फालेका थिए । त्यो देख्दा मलाई मन परेको थिएन । त्यसपछि बस मकवानपुरको सिमानामा रोकियो । त्यहाँ सबैले खाना खाए । बस २० मिनेट रोकिएको थियो । त्यसपछि फेरि बस चल्न थाल्यो । मकवानपुरको प्रवेशद्वारमा हामीले एउटा सुन्दर झरना देख्यौँ । धेरैले फोटो खिचे । त्यसपछि  बल्ल   हेटौंडा पुग्यौँ । त्यसपछि मेरो बुबाले बस चालकलाई बस रोक्न भन्नुभयो । हामी सानोपोखरा चोकतिर लाग्यौँ । त्यहाँ पुगेपछि हामीले धेरै रमाइलो गर्यौं । त्यो दिन म मन्दिर र माछापालन गएँ । त्याँहा सानो पशुपति मन्दिर देखेँ ।  हेटाैँडाको सबैभन्दा पहिलो मन्दिर देख्याैँ । म घर आएर खाना खाएँ । म त्यो दिन धेरै थाकेको थिएँ त्यसैले सुतेँ । भोलिपल्ट उठेर मनकामना पहाड चढ्न थालेँ । बाटोमा मैले धेरै कुराहरु देखेँ । त्यहाँ एउटा सुन्दर पिङ थियो । त्याे पिङ चढ्न १०० रुपैँया लाग्थ्यो । मैले त्यो पिङ खेलेँ । आधा घन्टा हिँडेपछि बल्ल मन्दिर पुगेँ । त्यसपछि म फर्केर धेरै मन्दिर र एउटा सहिद स्मारक नाम गरेको पार्क गएँ । घर गएर खाना खाएर मकवानपुर गढी गएँ । मैले धेरै पुराना घर र धेरै किसानहरू देखेँ । तिनीहरू आफ्नो खेतमा काम गरिरहेका थिए ।  तिनीहरूसँग कुनै आधुनिक मेसिन थिएन । तिनीहरूले गोरुले खेत जोतिरहेका थिए । त्यहाँ धेरै गर्मी थियो त्यसैले मैले आइसक्रिम खाएँ । त्यसपछि म हजुरबुवा र दिदीकहाँ गएँ । मैले धेरै कुराको बारेमा कुरा गरेँ र फर्केँ । म त्यो दिन रातको खाना खाएँ र सुतेँ । अर्को दिन म बिन्दवासिनी मन्दिर गएँ र त्यहाँ लिङ्गे पिङ खेलेँ । दसैँ र तिहारको महिना थियो त्यसैले धेरै लिङ्गे पिङहरू थिए । त्यसपछि म घर फर्किएँ । बुबा त्यही दिन काठमाडौँ फर्किनुभयो तर म हजुरबुवाको दाजुसँग बसेँ । मैले तास खेलेँ । म फरक ठाउँमा खाना खान गएँ । त्यसपछि भोलिपल्ट म ५ बजे उठेँ र कारमा आएँ । मैले धेरै हिमालहरू देखेँ  । हामी जहाँ गएका थियौँ, म त्यही बाटोबाट आएँ । आउँदा मेरो स्वास्थ्य अवस्था त्यति राम्रो थिएन । मैले बान्ता महसुस गरिरहेको थिएँ । त्यसपछि गाडी रोकेर होटलमा चिया पियौँ । हामी अर्को ठाउँमा आएर बिहानको खाजा खान रोकियौँ । त्यसपछि हामी सिधै  घर आयौँ  र खाजा खायौँ । मेरो भोलिपल्टदेखि स्कुल भएकोले गर्दा मैले आफ्नो झोला  मिलाएँ ।

मेरो यात्रा धेरै रमाइलो भएको थियो । मैले यो यात्रा बाट धेरै कुराहरू सिकेँ । कहिले नदेखेका कुराहरू पनि देखेँ । यो यात्रा गर्दा धेरै रमाइलो भएको थियो । घरमा बसिरहनुभन्दा कुनै ठाउँ गएर घुम्न पाउँदा मेरो मन खुसी भएको छ।

 Twilight and the lake,

Older than all the remains,

Of worlds far away.

An old silent lake,

In the mists so far away,

To places beyond the world.

In the twilight rain,

All of the stars bright awake,

In the summer rain.

The old near-full moon,

When mirth of joys full awake,

The first breath of spring.

The smell of forest streams.

With the songs of Nightingale,

With trees of jade green.

Twilight and the lake,

Older than all the remains,

Of worlds far away.

 स्वास्थ्य नै सबैभन्दा ठुलाे धन हाे । स्वास्थ हुँदा शरीर र मन फुर्तिलाेपन हुन्छ । हाम्राे जीवनमा सुखशान्तिकाे कारण नै स्वास्थ्य हाे ।हामी सबै स्वस्थ्य रहन चाहान्छाैँ ।स्वास्थ्य रहनका लागि स्वच्छ खानपिन र स्वच्छ वातावरण चाहिन्छ । हामीमा सफासुग्घर र स्वस्थ्य रहनुपर्छ भन्ने भावना हुनुपर्छ । स्वास्थ्य मानिस नै पढ्न ,लेख्न र मिहिनेत गर्न सक्छ ।स्वास्थ्य व्यक्तिमा उमेरअनुसारकाे काम गर्ने क्षमता हुन्छ ।राेग लागेपछि उपचार गर्नुभन्दा राेग लाग्न नदिने किसिमकाे सतर्कता अपनाउनुपर्छ ।सचेत व्यक्तिले याेगमा जाेड दिन्छ ।आसन ,प्राणायाम आदि गर्छ ।स्वास्थ्यका लागि त यस्ता क्रियाकलाप अनिवार्य मानिन्छन् । 

After my final term examination, we had a month-long vacation, during which I went on a trip with my family to my maternal uncles’ house, Damak, Jhapa. It took us 12 hours to reach Damak.

After we got there, we decided to visit many places. First, we visited my grandfather’s sister’s home in Gauradaha. That place was a rural area, which really felt very peaceful. After visiting Gauradaha, we went to the view tower of Damak. Damak view tower was really tall and it was almost 20 floors tall. That tower was still under construction, so we couldn’t enter the tower, but we took some photos from the outside and returned home. After staying there for a couple of days, we decided to go to Shree Antu which is in Ilam. It didn’t take much time to reach the place. There, we saw many tea-plantation areas. We somehow missed the way to head towards Shree Antu and headed towards Fikal. The place was a huge market. Soon, we headed towards Shree Antu again. That day, my family was very tired and we went to sleep. The following morning, we all woke up extremely early and went to watch the sunrise from Shree Antu’s view tower. It was very crowded. I also didn’t like the sunrise as I was thinking that I could see a similar view from the rooftop of my house back in Kathmandu.

After that day, we all returned home and my family headed back to Kathmandu. We also decided to visit Janakpur on the way and that place was extremely dirty. It was even dirtier than Kathmandu. After visiting Janaki temple, we headed back home from the vacation.

Outdoor games are usually played outside. These games are important for growing children. There are many outdoor games like football, basketball, cricket, dodgeball, and baseball. These games make us healthy, social, and physically flexible. In outdoor games, we play in a group. These games are really interesting. They make growing children more socialized. They make people disciplined and help them follow rules, making everyone physically fit.

Outdoor games develop our bones and muscles, improve blood circulation, and physically maintain our brain and body. They also help us develop self-confidence and increase our fitness.

In my opinion, outdoor games are essential in our daily life because they promote physical fitness and upgrade self-confidence. They also contribute to well-being, socialization, and discipline, which are important in everyone's life. Playing in a team or group teaches children to follow rules and regulations. Playing fair is important in these games, which teaches everyone to be honest and disciplined.

Outdoor games also help children be independent and provide them with physical exercise.

धर्तीमा जन्म दिई  संसार देखायाै

बोल्न सिकायाै र हिँड्न सिकायाै

राम्रो र नराम्रो सिकाएर सत्य देखायाै

माया र हेरचाह दिने तिमी मेरो प्रेरणा भयाै

तिमी बिरुवा हौ , म बिरुवाको एक भाग हुँ

तिमी शिक्षक हौ   म तिम्री  चेली  हुँ

भोकै बसेर तिमीले मलाई खुवायाै

पीडा छ तर मलाई देखाइनाै लुकायाै

तिमीले मलाई सधैँ माया गरेकी छौ

 जति अरू कसैले गरेको छैन

तिमीले मेरो ख्याल राखेकी छौ 

जति अरू कसैले राखेको छैन

तिमीले मेरो आँखाबाट आँसु आउन दिइनौ

तिमीले मलाई सबै कुराबाट जोगायाै

तिमीले कहिल्यै आफ्नो ख्याल गरिनौ

सन्तानकाे खुसीमा आफ्नाे खुसी देख्याै ।

I visited Sukute during my holidays. So first, my family and I packed our bags for the trip. It took a while to pack our bags. We took a three-hour bus ride all the way to Sindhupalchowk. The view from the bus was amazing. We reached Sukute Resort at three o’clock in the afternoon. We found our room and we began to explore. But first, we all had some snacks before going. There was a huge swimming pool, so I, my father, and my brother all wanted to swim. In the evening, we explored the Sukute Beach. We took lots of pictures. The place was so big that it’s really easy to get lost. My brother loved the beach so much that he didn’t want to get out of there. It took us a combined effort to convince him to go back to the resort. While we were returning to our resort, I slipped on one of the rocks and soaked my trousers. At night, our resort was bright and beautiful because of all the colorful lights they had put up. We had some barbeques, took photos, and played on a traditional swing before going to bed. The next morning, my brother and I played on a slide, hit the snooker table, tried our hands with table tennis, carom and more with some other kids in the resort. Then, we had some breakfast and we stayed there till we had lunch. And then in the afternoon, we returned home. I really enjoyed my time in Sukute Resort. It was very fun and relaxing there. Instead of staying home every day, it’s a great way to enjoy our vacation.
