कोरोनाको आतङ्क विश्वभरि फैलिएपछि, मानिसहरू घरभित्रै  बस्न बाध्य थिए। लगभग ४,५ महिनाभरि कलकारखाना, विद्यालय, कार्यालय आदि सबै बन्द थिए  । त्यसकारण देशको अर्थतन्त्र र विद्यार्थीहरूको पढाइमा असर परिरहेको थियो। त्यसैले होला सरकारले बिस्तारै लकडाउन खोल्ने निर्णय लियो। लगभग एक दुई महिना अगाडिदेखि नै बैङ्क, कम्पनी तथा सबै कार्यालयहरूखुलेका थिए तर विद्यालय भने खुलेका थिएनन्। 

विद्यालय बन्द भए पनि हामी विद्यार्थीहरू पढाइबाट कहिले पनि बन्चित थिएनौँ । हामीले भौतिक रुपमा पढ्न नपाए पनि अनलाइन कक्षामा नै उपस्थित भएर कक्षा ८ का सबै विषयहरूको आधा पाठ्यक्रम सकिसकेका थियौँ तर अनलाइनमा बसेर पढ्दा र विद्यालय नै धाएर पढ्नुमा धेरै फरक हुँदो रहेछ। त्यसैले हाम्रो विद्यालयले विद्यालय खोल्नेबाहेक अरू कुनै उपाय देखेन र विद्यार्थीहरूलाई भौतिक रुपमा नै पढाउने निर्णय लियो । माघ २ गतेदेखि विद्यालय खुल्ने भनेर हामी सबै विद्यार्थीहरूले इ-मेल पायौँ। त्यो खबर सुन्दा म आश्चर्य चकित थिइनँ। हामीले जहिले अनलाइन कक्षा गरेर सकिदैन भन्ने कुरा मलाई थाहा थियो त्यसैले विद्यालय खुल्छ भन्ने कुरा सुरुदेखि नै स्पष्ट थियो । म महिनौँ महिनापछि विद्यालय जान एकदमै उत्साहित थिएँ तर पनि हात, खुट्टा ठिहिर्‍याउने चिसोमा, बिहानबिहानै गाडी चढेर विद्यालय जानु पर्ने कुरा सोच्दै मलाई अल्छी लागेर आउँथ्यो। विद्यालय खुल्ने कुरा सुनेपछि मेरो मनमा प्रश्नहरू, जिज्ञासाहरूले आक्रमण गर्न थाले । मेरो मनमा विद्यालय लागेको ठिक कि बेठिक भन्ने कुरामा युद्ध हुन थाल्यो। विद्यालय गएर साथीहरू, गुरुहरू सबैलाई भेट्न पाइन्छ भनेर एक तर्फबाट खुसी थिएँ भने अर्को तर्फबाट अनलाइन कक्षा नै रमाइलो हो भन्दै, विद्यालय किन लागेको होला भनेर सोच्थेँ। भन्दाभन्दै विद्यालयको सुरु दिन आयो। बिहान उठ्ने बानी नै नभएर होला, ढिलो उठेछु। मलाई सुरु दिन नै ढिलो हुन मन थिएन त्यसैले हतार हतार चिसोमा काम्दै तयार भएर, गाडी आउने ठाउँसम्म कुद्दै पुगेँ।  विद्यालयको सुरु दिन मैले सोचेजस्तो नराम्रो भएन। महिनौँ महिनापछि, एकै  चोटी घरबाट बाहिर निस्किँदाको अनुभव नै अर्कै हुँदो रहेछ। अरूलाई मास्क लगाउँदा अप्ठ्यारो भयो होला तर महिनौँ पछि झोलामा किताब बोकेर, परिचय पत्र  लगाउँदा मलाई छुट्टै आनन्द आएको थियो। 

विद्यालय पुगेपछि हाम्रो कक्षाकोठा पोहोर सालकै कक्षा कोठा हो भन्ने कुरा थाहा पाएपछि पोहोर सालका सम्झनाहरू मेरो मन मस्तिष्कमा आउन थाले। कक्षा कोठामा छिरेर आफ्ना साथीहरूलाई भेट्दा अनौठो लाग्यो। घरमा धेरै बसेर होला, विद्यालय आएको कुरा पचाउन र विद्यालयको वातावरणमा घुलमेल हुन नै मलाई समय लाग्यो । अनलाइन कक्षामा दिनमा तिन वटा विषय पढाइ हुन्थ्यो तर भौतिक रूपमा विद्यालयमा आएर, दिनमा आठ वटा विषय पढ्दा धेरै थाकिँदो रहेछ। लकडाउनको कारण हामी सबैको दैनिक दिनचर्या उथल पुथल भएको थियो र विद्यालय लाग्न थालेपछि, आफ्नो दैनिक दिनचर्या नियमित रुपमा अनुसरण गर्न समय लाग्यो। म बिहान छिटो उठ्नुपरेको कारणले मेरो निन्द्रा पुगिरहेको थिएन र म घर फर्कंदा गाडीमै निदाउँथे। गृहकार्यहरूको मात्रा बढेर पनि होला, मैले समय व्यवस्थापन गर्न सकिरहेकी थिइन। रातभरि जागेर भए पनि म गृहकार्य सक्थेँ। त्यसै गरी २ हप्ता बित्यो र अहिले सबै ठीक छ। एक्कासी विद्यालय जाँदा सुरुमा कठिनाइहरू धेरै आए तर समय बित्दै गएपछि बानी बस्दै गयो र अहिले विद्यालय जाँदा केही नयाँ नौलो हुँदैन। लकडाउनपछि विद्यालय सुरु चोटी आउँदाको मेरो अनुभव एकदमै अनौठो थियो र समय बित्दै गए पछि परिस्तिथि राम्रो हुँदै गयो।

The fox which has got nine tails is known to be the nine-tailed fox. It is known as fox spirit in china (Chinese: 狐狸精; pinyin: húlijīng) or nine-tailed fox. The nine-tailed foxes are said to be ordinary foxes that lived 50 to 100 years, and as their age grew, so did their number of tails. It is also known that they have acquired magical powers that allow them to turn into humans, usually young beautiful girls. The nine-tailed fox is symbolized for peace and prosperity in the world and also the nine-tailed fox is a sign of marriage and love, and whoever marries a nine-tailed fox would have many children and many grandchildren. 

In the legends, a monarch called Yu did not get married until he reached the age of thirty. He said that he saw a nine-tailed fox in a place called Tushan, and he thought it was an auspicious sign of a king so he married a woman in Tushan. The nine-tailed fox witnessed the love between Yu and the Tushan woman. Also depending on their origin nine-tailed foxes can be good and bad but it's more commonly described to be impish and also a lot of folklore commonly refers to the beast's ability to change its physical appearance and to fool innocent people. In Japan, the nine-tailed fox got a similar reputation. And also these are playful but the white fox spirits protect humans and ward off evil. As in Japan nine-tailed fox is known as Kitsune but in English Kitsune usually refers to the magical fox-spirit, in which a fox can become human.  Kitsune has many tails like nine tail foxes. Generally, a greater number of tails indicates an older and more powerful Kitsune, and also some folktales say that a fox will only grow additional tails after it has lived 100 years. 

Kitsune is often used as the name for nine-tailed foxes. There are also different types of Kitsune which are: Heaven (or Celestial or Prime), Void (or Dark), Wind, Spirit, Fire, Earth, River, Ocean, Mountain, Forest, Thunder, Time and Sound and one of the most important things to a Kitsune is freedom. And the Nine-Tails is a giant, malevolent demon fox of mass destruction. It is also intelligent and has a sadistic and sarcastic personality. As for the nine-tailed fox, it is nowhere to be seen and I wonder how it is said it used to exist before. And there are also a lot of stories, movies, and dramas about nine-tailed foxes ( Kitsune ) like the Tale of the nine-tailed fox.

I am studying in Grade VI at Sifal Secondary School. Because of COVID-19, my school started online classes from Baisakh 15. From Poush 24, our third term starts. From my first and second term, I have learned to be an honest person, a person with good habits and morals. I have gained a lot of wisdom through programs such as “Hamra Palama”, “DSS Talk” and “Parent’s Talk”. I have also learned how to write articles in both Nepali and English language. I started typing fast, started learning extra things on my laptop, the internet, and computer. Now that Term III is about to begin, I have some expectations in the third term.

Every student should have some expectations from their teachers, school, and the way learning happens. Likewise, my expectations are taking on-school classes rather than online classes because we could get time to play with friends and also directly interact with our teachers. From Grade VI onwards,  we could choose clubs like Art, Taekwondo, Basketball, and many more. We also have sports week, DSS night, and the best part is teachers making the classes enjoyable. At school, we get to participate in extracurricular activities and teachers constantly encourage students in the learning process. Classes become active when we learn at school and also we never miss any school activities such as Deerwalk Poetry Night or Debate Night. I am expecting to join the classes at the earliest. I hope my teachers, school, and the management will support me to fulfill my expectations as well as others.

I had a lot of expectations from the year 2020. I had thought of visiting here and there; new places and doing new things. Now the year has already finished, I don't think I have done anything that I wanted to. 

If I look at it, it was the worst year of my life. I wouldn’t be wrong to say so. For many months, this whole year the lockdown was imposed because of the covid-19 pandemic. However, because of the lockdown, I could learn many new things and also I got to experience new things. Before 2020 who had thought that one day we could sit at home and get an education? Taking online classes was a new experience for me. This year, I have learned some household works and I also spent time with my family and some friends. In 2020,  I got to play mobile games a lot but at the same time, I couldn't play or talk with my real friends. I couldn't even meet my best friend for several months.

In 2020, I was thinking of celebrating my birthday by inviting my friends and some relatives, but on my birthday, I hardly celebrated with my family and friends. At the beginning of the pandemic, I was in fear that I may die because the pandemic was increasing day by day. Later, I got over it and thought that schools would open and I could go to school, study and have fun and meet friends. Studying three hours a day taking online classes and playing the rest of the time has been good but at school, I can meet my friends and have fun and study more properly. This year I couldn’t do what I wanted to but in the year 2021, may all my expectations come true. I just hope that this coronavirus gets over soon.

My classes in term two were great. I think I have done better in term II than in my term I. It was fun. We did various things in term II such as an online virtual tour to the solar system, online parent’s talk. We also did various practicals, group projects and group works. We had a lot of holidays in term II because of festivals such as Dashain and Tihar. We always had lots of fun and learned various things. I think it was better than the term I in a lot of ways. 

There were lots of problems in the term I because we were new to the online classes and we did not have ideas about various apps. But after the experience of  Term I, we were better prepared and had a lot of ideas about various useful apps for the online classes. We had fun reading various books in both Nepali and English language. I also feel we are lucky to get a chance to study in this Covid-19 pandemic, so we are thankful to our teachers and the school. We got a big opportunity to learn and got used to electronics, the internet, and learned how technology is being used in the educational field. 

Even though online classes we had various programs like DSS talk, virtual field trips, parents talk and we always had the feeling that we were taking our regular classes. We did not have ECA but we had fun and I never expected to have such fun online classes. I shall be working hard in term III and will try to get a better score than my previous terms. We had fun in term II but I am looking for a better time in term III.

There was a lady  who had achieved the key to everything; except one! She also had the key to success which led her to be a successful business person and who do you think that lady was ? It was  me!

I just felt like writing my own life story, so I did it! Just like any other day, I went to my office and got involved in a meeting which was pre-arranged. I actually work in a cartoon based company. In the meeting, we were discussing, “What kind of cartoon would the kids like?” Some of the employees started talking about their child’s dreams while some talked about their own. At that time an employee asked me “What is your dream?” and the other employees added, “Yes ,what is it?”  There is no way that being successful in the business was my only dream and since I didn’t know what to say, I hesitantly replied it was to be an actor because when I was a kid most of my friends said that their dream was to be an actor. You might also be thinking right now “Why is an employee talking so casually to their boss?” It is because I thought that if we would talk casually, the employees might open up a bit more and I was right they did open up to me and because of  that we made great progress in our company.

Anyway, let's get back to where we left. So after I replied to them, we decided the kind of cartoon the kids would like the most and ended the meeting. I went home as usual and started to do my work and tried to focus but the question which my employee asked me struck my mind just like the alarm goes off every time the clock strikes the next hour. So I stopped working for a while and thought about what my true dream was? I couldn't think of anything about  my dream. I gave up and went to sleep. Next day, I went to the office and did my work but I couldn’t get the question out of my head. I then had no choice but to take a vacation from my office and find the key to my true dream. In my vacation, I did a lot of things, I travelled to different places and I also wrote a book that suddenly got famous. Then when I saw someone reading my book and enjoying it, I found myself almost exploding with happiness. At that time, I knew that I had found the key to my true dream. It was to write books and many more things. And after that I never stopped writing. When I was back to my office after my long vacation I told my employees what my true dream was! Some of them did ask me, “If my true dream was to write then why did I lie to them when they asked what my dream was?” I simply replied to them by saying “At that time I didn't know what my true dream was so I told you about my friend's dream since I thought that it would be a shame if being a successful person I didn’t know what I really wanted to be?” It would also be strange when I didn’t know what my dream was and told you to achieve yours.

This might also be the reason why I am writing my own life story right now.

Title: Stuart Little

Writer: E.B White

Director: Rob Minkoff

Characters: Snowbell, George little, Monty, Mrs.Eleanor little, Stuart little, Mr. Frederick little,  Uncle Crenshaw, Mrs. Camille Stout, Reginald stout, 

Setting :

The setting starts from the orphanage where Mrs. and Mr. Little go to get an orphan and a little brother to their son George. Next, the setting takes place in the house where Stuart ( the orphan, a mouse) almost gets eaten by the cat and where Stuart lives with his family.  Stuart’s room, where the cat comes and talks to Stuart, the laundry where Stuart gets stuck in the washing machine, the orphanage where the Littles go to find the whereabouts of Stuart's parents and the Stout’s house where Stuart goes to live are all important settings in the movie.

 Plot:

The Littles are a small family living in a small house consisting of Mr. Little, Mrs. Little, and George Little in New York City. The family goes to the orphanage to get George a little brother but the parents choose a mouse as their child and George is disappointed. The next morning, Mrs. Little called for the kids to get the clothes in the laundry and along with the clothes Stuart gets stuck in the washing machine, hopefully, Mrs. Little notices this in time and rescues him. The next day, they go out and they buy Stuart some clothes and then the party starts and Stuart gets gifts like normal kids. Some gifts were way too big for him. Stuart and George together make a boat for the boat race competition. This scene is really interesting and especially at the last moment when the remote control of the boat breaks down and Stuart steers the boat and wins the race. He goes through lots of adventures in the movies and also faces lots of difficulties especially saving himself from the cats including their pet, Snowbell who, however, later accepts Stuart as a family member.  Later in the story two mean mice; introducing themselves as Stuart’s parents take him away from his foster parents only to realize they were fake. Stuart manages to get back home but faces lots of hurdles including the street cats who wanted to devour him but Snowbell saves the day and they go home safely. In the end, the whole family is reunited and they live happily. 

My Favorite part:

My favorite part is when Snowbell saves Stuart from the street cats and accepts him as a family member. 

Comment:

I liked the movie and I really recommend everyone to watch it. It’s wonderfully written and the movie is great to watch. It’s full of emotions and has everything you need like comedy, action, adventure and a bit sentimental as well but with a happy ending.

भक्तपुर जिल्ला कटुन्जे नगर क्या राम्रो मिलेको

सुशीला भैरव शिरमा राखी झपक्कै फुलेको ।

बाँसघारीमुनि रहेको घर क्या सुन्दर फूलबारी

दधिकोटपारि बिचमा खोला नजिकको सालघारी ।१।

बाटाको मुनि नयाँ छ बस्ती विचारमा एकमत छ

बाटाको माथि पुरानो बस्ती संस्कार भिन्न छ ।

पुरानो संस्कार नयाँको विचार मिलेको बस्ती यो

विकासको गति विस्तार गरी शिखरै चुमेको ।२।

हिमाल सेतो पहाड हरियो देखिने यो गाउँ  

सायदै पाउँला याे सहरमा यस्तो याे  राम्रो ठाउँ ।

साधन चल्न राम्रो छ बाटो धुवाँ नि छैन है 

डहाड इर्ष्या लोभ र लालच गर्ने कोही छैन है ।३। 

करेसाबारी प्राङ्गारिक खेती मिहनती परिवार

मिहनती बन्न प्रेरित गरी सबैले दिन्छन् प्यार ।

गाउँले छनक सहरी चमक दुबैको प्रभाव

स्वच्छ छ हावा मिठो छ पानी छैन केही अम्भाव ।४।

स्कुलको गाडी बासझाङमा बस्छ म कुद्ने गर्दछु

प्रफूल्ल भई देवीको दर्शन म गर्ने गर्दछु ।

फर्केर आउँदा पिपलको रूखमा म रम्ने गर्दछु

रात पर्छ जब भमरा भुर्भुर त्यही ठाउँमा बस्दछु ।५।

उहाँहरूले खाना खानुभयो र बुबा बस्नु मात्र भएको थियो कि उहाँले हामीलाई ल्यापटप चलाएको देख्नुभयो। हो, हामी घरमा काम पनि सघाउँछौँ तर ल्यापटप पनि चलाउलकडाउन सुरु भएदेखि म घरमै बसेकी थिएँ । घरमा बस्दा बस्दा मलाई अल्छी लागिसकेको थियो । मेरा आमा र बुवा पनि कार्यालय गइरहनुभएको थियो र उहाँहरूको बिदा शनिबार मात्र हुन्थ्यो । मेरो र मेरो दादाको अनलाइन कक्षा पनि चलिरहेको थियो । हामी सबै आआफ्ना काममा व्यस्त थियौँ तर हामी प्रकृतिकै नजिक बसे पनि प्रकृतिमा रमाउन सकिरहेका थिएनौँ । मलाई घर बाहिर त्यति निस्कन त मन लाग्दैन तापनि घरमा बस्दा बस्दा र ल्यापटप हेरेकाे हेरै गरेर पनि होला मेरो शरीर कमजाेर र शिथिल भइसकेको थियो ।  

  मेरो बुबा भने जहिले शनिबार बिहान साइकल चलाएर मेरो भिनाजुसँग पहाडतिर घुम्न जानुहुन्थ्यो। भिनाजु र बुबा प्रत्येक शनिबार विभिन्न ठाउँहरू जानुहुन्थ्यो। बुबा र भिनाजु जहिले शनिबार साइकल चलाउनुहुन्थ्यो किनभने कसरत गरिएन भने हाम्रो शरीर कमजाेर र रोगी हुन सक्छ । त्यो दिन पनि उहाँहरू ७ बजे साइकल लिएर हिँड्नुभयो । ९ बजिसकेको थियो र हामीले खाना खाइसकेका थियौँ र १० बजे बुबा र भिनाजु घर आइपुग्नुभयो ।छौँ । उहाँले हामीले हाँस्दै घुमेको, रमाएको नदेखेको कत्ति भइसकेको थियो र त्यसपछि आफू गलेको हुँदाहुँदै पनि उहाँले एक्कासि हामीलाई लुगा लगाएर ठिक पर्न भन्नुभयाे । उहाँले हामीलाई सहज हुने कपडा लगाउन भन्नुभयो र हामी पदयात्रा गर्न जाने भन्नुभयो। उहाँले हामी कुन ठाउँ जाने चाँहि भन्नु नै भएन ।  

हामी खुसी भयौँ किनभने हामी धेरै समयपछि घुम्न जाँदै थियौँ। त्यसपछि  आमाले खाजा बनाएर लाने अनि बाटोमा एक ठाउँ खोजेर, बसेर खाने कुरा गर्नुभयो। हामीले खाजा बनायौँ र भाँडाकुँडा बोकेर गाडीमा हाल्यौँ । हामीले माक्स लगायौँ र पुरै तयारीका साथ म, मेरो दादा, आमा र बुबा गाडीमा बस्यौँ। खाजा बनाएर घरबाट हिँड्दा लगभग १ बजिसकेको थियो। हामी भोकाएका थियौँ किनभने हामीले खाना ९ बजे खाएका थियाैँ  तर खुसीका कारण भोक पनि बिर्सिसकेका थियौँ । बुबाले हामीलाई लाकुरी भन्ज्याङ लाने भन्नुभयो किनभने लाकुरी भन्ज्याङ हाम्रो घर नजिक पर्थ्यो तर लाकुरी भन्ज्याङ जाने बाटो हिलो भएर जान नमिलेका कारण हामी अर्कै पहाडतिर लाग्यौँ।

हामी आदि बाटोसम्म गाडीमा गयौँ र त्यहाँ पुग्दा हामीले त्यहाँ ‘भ्यु टावर’ भएको कुरा थाहा पायौँ । हामीले भ्यु टावरसम्म हिडेर जाने र हिडेर आएपछि राम्रो ठाउँ खोजेर खाने विचार गर्‍याैँ । हामी गफ गर्दै पहाडको उकाली ओराली गर्दै हिड्न थाल्यौँ। हामी धेरै हिँडिसकेका थियौँ त्यसैले हामीले एक रुखको छहरामा बसेर दृश्य हेर्ने निर्णय लियौँ । एकछिन आराम गरेर हामी फेरि हिड्न थाल्यौँ । बाटोमा हामीले विभिन्न प्रकारका रुख र बिरुवाहरू देख्यौँ  र धेरै समयको हिँडाइपछि हामी भ्यु टावरसम्म पुग्यौँ ।  

टावर पुगेपछि दृश्य हेर्दा हामीले एक अनौठो कुरा थाहा पायौँ । त्यो भ्यु टावरबाट ललितपुर, भक्तपुर र काठमाडौंँ, तिनैवटा जिल्ला देखिँदो रहेछ। त्यो टावरबाट हामीले हाम्रो घर (काठमाडाैँ, इमाडाेलस्थित) पनि देख्यौँ । त्यो भ्यु टावरको हालत राम्रो थिएन । त्यहाँ काटी, दाउराहरू थिए किनभने त्यो भ्यु टावर बनिसकेको थिएन । हामीले त्यहाँ एउटा बस्ने ठाउँ खोज्यौँ र एकछिन दृश्य हेरेर, थकाइ मार्‍याैँ । हामीले फोटाहरू खिच्यौँ र हामी फेरि आफ्नो गाडी राखेको ठाउँतिर हिड्न थाल्यौँ । बाटोमा हामीले होटेलहरू पनि देख्यौँ । पहाडको टुप्पोमा होटेल पनि रहेछ । त्यहाँका मानिसहरूले उनीहरुको घरमा बिजुली ल्याउन सारै मेहेनत गरेका रहेछन् । त्यहाँको वातावरण हरियाली र स्वच्छ थियो । म र मेरो दादामध्ये को छिटो दौडन्छ भनेर हामी दौडिन थाल्यौँ तर मैले जितिनँ । 

हामी हिँड्दा त्यो शान्त बाटोमा कराउँदै हिँड्यौं र आदि बाटोमा आइपुग्दा त्यहाँ जाडो भए तापनि दौडेको र हिँडेकोले मलाई गर्मी लाग्यो ।  म दौडिएको कारण पसिनै पसिना भएकी थिएँ । बाटोमा मैले झरना जस्तै बग्दै गरेको सफा पानी देखेँ । त्यो पानी पहाडको सफा र चिसो पानी थियो तर सफा पानी भए पनि पिउनु उचित हुँदैन होला भनेर मेरो आमा बुबाले भनेको मानेर मैले त्यो पानीले मुख मात्र धोएँ । त्यो पानी हिउँजस्तै चिसो थियो । मलाई आनन्द लाग्यो । मेरो मुख गर्मीले रातो भइसकेको थियो । म गले पनि मलाई त्यो गलेको भावना र अनुभव मन परेको थियो ।   

हामी कुद्दैकुद्दै गाडी भएतर्फ लाग्न थाल्यौँ किनभने ३ बजिसकेको थियो र हामीले बिहान ९ बजेदेखि केही पनि खाएका थिएनाैँ । हामी गाडी भएको ठाउँमा आइपुग्यौँ र हतार हतार हामीले गाडीबाट भाँडा र खानेकुराहरू निकाल्यौँ ।  म, मेरो दादा, र मेरा बुबा भएर हामीले खानेकुराहरु पस्कियौँ र गाडी भएकै ठाउँमा, गाडीकै नजिकतिर बस्यौँ । हामीले गाडी राखेको ठाउँमा ढुङ्गाहरू राखिएको रहेछ र त्यहाँबाट दृश्य पनि राम्रो देखिँदो रहेछ त्यसैले हामीले त्यहिँ ढुङ्गामा बस्ने निर्णय गर्‍याैँ। 

हामीले गाडीमा बसेर खायौँ भने गाडी फोहोर पार्छौँ कि भन्ने डरले हामी गाडीमा बसेनौँ । हामी गफ गर्दै खाजा खान थाल्यौँ । गफ गर्दागर्दै हामीले खाजा खाइसक्यौँ र भाँडा कुरालाई झोलामा हालेर, फोहोर नगरी हामी गाडीमा चढ्यौं । त्यसपछि हामी घर फर्कियौँ । घरमा आएर हामीले हाम्रो हजुरबुबा र हजुरआमालाई हाम्रो यात्राको बारेमा भन्यौँ र उहाँहरूले अर्को पाली उहाँहरू पनि हामीसँग जाने भन्नुभयो । त्यो दिन म सारै खुसी थिएँ । बुबाले हरेक शनिबार यसरी नै हामी विभिन्न ठाउँ जाने भन्नुभयो । त्यसपछि हामी फेरि आफ्नो दिनचर्यामा व्यस्त भयौँ । लकडाउन भए पनि हामी खेल्नु, कुद्नु र उफ्रिनु आवश्यक छ। हाम्रो शरीरलाई कसरतको आवश्यक हुन्छ। दिनभरि घरमा, एउटा टेबुलमा बस्दाबस्दा हाम्रो शरीर रोगी हुन सक्छ त्यसैले कहिलेकाहीँ पुरै सुरक्षाका साथ घरबाट बाहिर निस्केर खेलकुद गर्दा केही हानिकारक हुँदैन

There was a time, the earth was covered with ice all over. The ice was kilometers thick back then. Now the ice has undeniably reduced to such a low amount that only Greenland, Arctic, and Antarctica have ice that is kilometers thick excluding the mountain regions. Scientists today believe that the earth is getting warmer which is because of the harmful gases we let free on earth and which has resulted in the melting of ice at a faster rate. This can cause a global problem because the melting of the ice at such a rapid pace is not good news.  It will be the main cause of the rise in sea level which will flood many cities near the sea all over the world. Many Islands are already at the risk of being under the sea!

More importantly, the animals thriving in icy regions like penguins, polar bears, or seals are at the risk of getting extinct. Ice also helps to reflect the sunlight and help the earth in the cooling process. If the ice melts, it means global warming will increase and extinction might start from polar animals. These animals then might not exist in the future and it may even happen to us as well for we share the same planet. In today’s context, only humans can help to minimize global warming and save many species of planet earth including ourselves.
