विद्यार्थी र नयाँ संसार
- Rushina Tamang - 26008, Grade ... 08 June, 2023

विद्यार्थी तिमी आफ्नो गृहकार्य गर,
खाली ठाउँमा आफ्नो जवाफ भर,
कुनै शिक्षकले तिम्रो साथीलाई कुटिराछ 
तर पछाडिको हल्लालाई तिमी ध्यान नगर ।

 

संसार ठुलो छ विद्यार्थी,
सपना पनि ठुलो देख्नुपर्छ,
तिमी किताबलाई बाेझ नठान ? 
तिमीलाई यसले नयाँ संसार देखाउने छ ।

 

अर्काको सपनामा किन बाँच्नु जस्ताे नठान्नू,
हामीले निरन्तर परिश्रम गर्नुपर्छ, यही मान्नू र ?
आमाबुबाको पनि सपना पूरा गर्नुपर्छ,
आमाबुबालाई भगवानकाे स्वरूप मान्नुपर्छ ।

 

उहाँहरूले तिमीलाई माया गरे या नगरे पनि,
जन्म दिनु भएका आमाबुबालाई
तिमीले आदर र सम्मान गर्नुपर्छ,
यद्यपि, तिमीले जन्म पाएको संसार
कुरूप होस् या नहोस्,
तिमीले देखेकाे संसार 
नयाँ संसार हाे ।

Jeffrey Dahmer
- Aashiya Shrestha - 27030, Gra ... 08 June, 2023

Jeffrey Dahmer a well known serial killer as well as a sex offender who was born on May 21 1960 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He was later known as “Milwaukee Cannibal” or “Milwaukee Monster”. Dahmer’s way of killing and violence still has the whole world in shock on how could a “human” do such crimes to another human. Dahmer’s childhood seemed as normal and ordinary as any other child. No one could predict the darkness that’d fall in his life as he slowly aged. Most of the people described him as a shy and introverted child. He showed interest in dissecting animals as well as insects and in fishing. But unfortunately, as Dahmer started aging, his life took a huge turn and he got involved in drinking heavily as well as wild sexual fantasies.


 

His hunger for murder slowly got stronger and stronger in the year of 1978 which was at the age of 18. He also committed his first murder in the same year. He killed an innocent hitchhiker named Steven Hicks who was almost 19. He lured the youth in his house telling him that they're just going to have a simple drinking session. After Dahmer successfully lured him in, they engaged in sexual activities. He then murdered Steven with a dumbbell. To hide the body, he dismembered it first then buried it in his backyard.


 

After that, he continued to lure younger boys and men who were in their 20s and 30s to his apartment and engaged them in violence as well as sexual activities. He had a trick to lure them in which was by showing them greed, sexual favors, drugs, etc. most of his victims were very young and vulnerable who were going through alot trouble whether it be sexually or addiction or family issues.


 

The ages of his victims varied from ages to ages. Youngest being Jamie Doxtator and Konerak Sinthasomphone, mere 14 year old boys to Raymond Smith (who also went by the name “Ricky Beeks”) who was at the age of 33, an innocent black man. Dahmer’s method of murdering and violence is very disturbing as well as gruesome. Later on, he also got engaged in the act of cannibalism and necrophilia. His apartment felt like a haunted place to any other sane person as parts of a body were scattered around his room, jars were filled with human’s as well as animal’s organs and there were preserved skulls as well. 


 

Finally on July 19, 1991, Dahmer finally got arrested for all the crimes he had committed. He admitted to murdering 17 men/boys. His victims being:

He received 16 life sentences for every murder he had committed and attempted. On November 28, 1994 a man named Christopher Scarver beat him to death as most people believe he finally got what he deserved.

The Problem With Nepali Media
- Sakshyam Karna - 26013, Grade ... 07 June, 2023

December 12, 2015 about 8 years ago a white VW car with the number plate BA 12. CHA 6100 crashed at five in the morning after going out of control on the way from Maitighar Mandala to Thapathali. Since the area was well lit because of the solar lights the people who were opening their shops for the day were able to witness it. When they went to see who was inside they saw two boys and two girls in the car. It did not take a detective to find out that the crash was caused because the driver had been intoxicated with alcohol and all of the passengers had been partying all night and were returning home. Since all four of them had been hurt they were taken to the Norvic hospital which was nearby and were treated and registered under a fake name. In only a few hours after the accident the police removed the car from the spot and made it look normal as if nothing had happened. Slowly the sun rose and the day started and traffic increased and the roads returned to normal within just a few hours of the accident. Other than the people who saw it no one found out about the accident. Normally if an accident were to happen this would have ended up on the news in no time or at least come on the newspaper the next day but nothing like that happened. A few days later the same car was found being repaired in the garage. And the number plate is found to be registered under the name of an highly reputed media and was being used by the owner’s eldest son. When the people were asked for the explanation of the accident they refused to disclose anything. Since this incident happened with a reputed media company leader no one dared to write about it except for a newspaper daily named Arthik Dainik. And ever since then this newspaper has been slowly dying. Rabi Lamichane had also told about similar incidents including this one, exposing all the big media industries of Nepal. But is actually Nepal's media industry how Lamichhane had described and if not what is the truth behind all of this?

Media is considered to be the fourth pillar of a country. Its job is to bring out true news independent of any external factors and raise their voice against corruption in a country but these same media groups are one of the most corrupt organizations in Nepal and most of the politics also happens here. Every party has their own radios, news daily and news channels who support their respective parties in exchange of funding that they receive from the parties. On the surface it looks as if media companies earn money from advertisements but in reality they earn the most by hiding news, by blackmailing businesspeople to post something against them. If any business group is doing something illegal first of all it has to give money to the leading parties then the media group to make sure that nothing is posted that would reveal their truth. Sometimes the media groups are paid in form of cash and sometimes in the form of shares if not their black deeds will be published. And the business group doesn't have to pay only one media organization but various media organizations. Rabi Lamichane had told all about how this works in the journalist meet and how the twelve brothers of the Nepali media organizations take money to hide crimes from the citizens. According to him, the eldest brother among these 12 corrupt organizations is Nepal’s top media house. The money that is supposed to be distributed to different organizations is first given to him where he divides it into three categories; first class, second class and third class. Here first class being the media groups having high TRP  and third class being media groups having low TRP. The first class media group gets the most money and the other two get according to their TRP. And in exchange for taking this money their job is to not publish anything against these business groups. The same thing happened with an insurance company. They got their license without even completing the process and no one wrote about it even though this was a huge act of felony punishable seriously by the law. This shows how corrupt and untruthful our newspaper is. The report by Media Action Nepal also showed that these media groups were the ones with the highest number of fake news on the platforms.

आजभोलि अत्यधिक बढेकाे छ गर्मी 
जाडाे माैसम भएपछि लाग्ने हाेला शर्दी
तराईमा जताततै विद्यालय भए अरे बन्द 
ताताे हावा चल्दै छ रे, मन्द मन्द ।

 

काठमाडौँमा कट्न थाल्याे तिस डिग्री
मासेका छन् वातावरण छैन केही फिक्री
रुख राेप्ने अभियान अब सुरू गर्नुपर्छ
फाेहाेर मैला व्यवस्थापन गरिहाल्नुपर्छ ।

 

खाेल्नुपर्छ, कारखाना  घरदेखि टाढा 
बिगार्ने र बनाउने नि मानिस नै हाे सारा
जथाभावी फाल्नुहुन्न, कसिङ्गर फाेहाेर
गाउँ जस्तै हरियाली  हुनुपर्छ सहर ।



खोलानाला सफा राख्ने गर्नुपर्छ काम,
वातावारण बिग्रिएमा रहँदैन नाम ,
हाम्रो घर पृथ्वी हाे, गर्नुपर्छ रक्षा
आफ्नाे घरकाे आफैँ गर्नुपर्छ सुरक्षा ।

The perspective of a Villain and a Hero
- Surabhi Ghimire - 26012, Grad ... 05 June, 2023

Typically, villains on children's television shows are shown to be only motivated by their own selfish goals while the hero tries to stop them. I believe that kid’s shows are trying to encourage little children to help people in need though it’s not a good way. For example, an oceanic villain fighting for the cleanliness of their homeland and being called a monster by the hero is extremely common.

The perspective of a villain is complex and varied. Their behaviour is frequently influenced by past events, and they might be prepared to go to any lengths—regardless of what it means to other people to accomplish their objectives. Though we might disagree with their choices, seeing things from the villain's point of view can help us better understand them and the reasons behind their actions. The villain's viewpoint is frequently affected by their past experiences. They may perceive themselves as the victim. Their darkness and retaliation may be paved by trauma, abuse, or abandonment. As a result,they may develop a distorted viewpoint and believe their acts are justified, even though they are harming other people.

Comparably, the writer for mature shows urges viewers to notice what psychological damage caused someone to become a villain. The hero got over the pain and tried to make something good of it whereas the villain was weak and filled with hatred, to the point where they couldn’t control it. In my opinion, no matter how wrong they seem, they might be lost inside. Villains may view themselves as a victim, oppressed by authority and society in general. Most see themselves as heroes trying to fight a corrupt system, not as evildoers.  In fact, it is factual in some cases. Although, it is executed wrongly. As an example, fighting against a corrupt government by humanslaughter is wrong. Even if it is for the right reason, it hurts other people and can be resolved in other ways. A hero on the other hand, in most shows/books, what I’ve noticed is, at the start of their hero journey, what they decide is to help the people in need. Most likely, that discovery is made from having powers different from usual human beings. Doesn’t that put a pressure on you that since you’re better, you have to help everyone? Everytime they save the earth, the more praise they receive. Hiding your true identity from everyone, you can never be fully honest.  I wonder, doesn’t it get tiring? Having every single person look up to you, scared to disappoint them. And soon, slowly, with time, the hero gets egotistical. Though, if a hero wants to quit they always could. A villain can’t, at least not easily.

In conclusion, a hero and a villain are not so different. Stereotypically, the protagonist (hero) has a positive outlook on life whereas the antagonist (villain) has a negative outlook on life. I believe that the writers didn’t choose to change the characters coincidentally. Maybe there’s a deeper meaning behind the suffering of the protagonist and antagonist themselves or merely for entertainment.

फेरिएकाे गाउँ
- Pratik Dangol - 27009, Grade ... 05 June, 2023

एकादेशमा नेपाल देशमा एउटा सानो पशुपति नामकाे गाउँँ थियो । त्यो गाउँका मानिसहरूले आउने सबै पर्यटकलाई राम्ररी स्वागत सत्कार गर्दथे । उचित सेवा सुविधा दिन्थे । त्यस गाउँमा धेरै शान्ति थियो र प्राकृतिक उपहारले पनि धनी थियो ।  

 

त्यही गाउँमा समा नामकी युवती आफ्नो बुबा र आमासँग बस्थिन् । उनको सपना भनेको भविष्यमा डाक्टर बन्नु थियो । उनी सानैदेखि राम्रो पढ्थिन् । पशुपति गाउँमा एउटा सानो विद्यालया थियो । विद्यालायमा राम्रा शिक्षक नहुनाले त्यहा पढ्नु र नपढ्नु उस्तै थियो । उसलाई थाहा थियो कि त्यस विद्यालयमा पढेर डाक्टर बन्नु असम्भव हो । तर ऊसँग अरू  विकल्प पनि थिएन । टाढा टाढासम्म पनि त्यहाँ कुनै अरू विद्यालय थिएनन् ।

 

एक दिन ऊ आफ्ना आमाबुबासँग १ घन्टा हिँडेर आफन्तको घर जान्छे। ऊ त्यहाँको गाउँ घुम्दा उसले टाढा एउटा पुस्तकालय देखी । त्यो पुस्तकालय देखेर समाको मनमा केही आशा उत्पन्न भयो । शनिबार पनि पुस्तकालय खुल्दाे रहेछ । त्यसपछि हरेक शनिबार छुट्टिको दिन ऊ पुस्तकालय गएर पुस्तकहरू पढ्न थाली । उसले एक हप्ताभित्र एउटा किताब पढिसक्थी । यसरी उसको पढाइ राम्रो हुन थाल्यो तर अझै डिग्रीको लागि समस्या थियो । गरिब परिवार हुनाले बाहिर गएर पढ्न पनि असम्भव थियाे ।

 

त्यसै बीचमा एक दिन गाउँमा एउटा संस्था आयो । त्यस संस्थाको मुख्य काम भनेको आधारभूत तहसम्म सबैलाई शिक्षा दिनु वा साक्षर बनाउनु थियाे । त्यस संस्थाले गाउँलेहरूसँग मिली काम गर्न थाल्यो । गाउँका जनप्रतिनिधिले त्यस संस्थालाई सहयाेग गर्न थाले । गाउँका केही पढेलेखेका विद्यार्थीले पनि त्यस कार्यक्रमलाई सघाउन थाले । त्यस संस्थाका स्वयंसेवकहरूले पढाउँदै गर्दा सामालाई अरू विद्यार्थीलाई अरूभन्दा भिन्न पाए। उनीहरूले सोधेका प्रश्नको उत्तर समाले सजिलै दिन्थी । त्यो देखेर उनीहरूले समाबारे साेधखाेज गरे । उसले पनि आफ्नाे लक्ष्य सुनाई । त्यसपश्चात् त्यो संस्थाले उसको पढाइ खर्च जुटाइदिने वाचा गर्यो ।

 

अब समाकाे दैनिकी फेरिन थाल्याे । उसले सहरको विद्यालयमा पढ्न थाली र हरेक पटक प्रथम हुन थाली । त्यसरी नै कडा परिश्रमपछि ऊ डाक्टर बनी । त्यसपछि उसको सपना पूरा भयो । उसले त्यसपछि विभिन्न संस्थाको सहायताले गाउँमा राम्रो प्राथमिक स्वास्थ्य चौकी बनाएर गाउँलेहरूलाई राम्रो सेवा दिन थाली । उसले गाउँमै बसेर आफ्नो गाउँलाई राम्राे स्वास्थ्य सुविधा दिन थाली । उनले धेरै असहाय र गरिब मानिसहरूको निःशुल्क उपाचार गरिन् । उनले गरेको योगदानले गाउँकाे रूप धेरै फेरियो । गाउँलेहरूले गाउँकाे नाम फेरिएकाे गाउँ राखे ।

कक्षा १०
- Riddhis Sharma - 26006, Grade ... 02 June, 2023

कक्षा दश मेरा लागि नयाँ भए पनि, म सिफल स्कुलकाे पुरानै विद्यार्थी थिएँ । म पुरानै विद्यार्थी भए पनि कक्षा दशकाे पहिलाे दिनमा उत्साह र सकारात्मकता अलि बढी नै थियो ।  झन्डै दुई हप्ता जति मात्र घरमा बसेकाे मैले विद्यालयमा जाँदा धेरै परिवर्तन देखेँ ।  हाम्रो सङ्गीत कक्षा अगाडिको सानो चौर जस्तो ठाउँमा भकुण्डो खेल्ने ठाउँ बनाइएको रहेछ । केही कुराहरूको चिन्ता भइरहेको थियो भने, मनमा कक्षा १० को बाेर्ड परीक्षाकाे दबाब नआउने  कुरै भएन । तर, यसरी विद्यालय जाँदा तेस्रो दिनसम्म मेरा सबै त्रास र चिन्ता हटे ।  
कक्षा सुरु भइसक्याे । बजारमा भने सबै पुस्तक आइसकेका थिएनन् र अब के गरी पढ्ने भन्ने कुरा पनि मनमा आएको थियो । तर, विद्यालय पुग्दा भने कसैसँग पनि पुस्तक सूचीमा भएका सबै पुस्तक नभएको कुरा सुन्दा मेरो मनलाई पनि एक प्रकारले शान्ति मिल्याे ।  कक्षा ९ को नतिजा ठिकै मात्रै आएका कारण मेरो मनमा यसपल्ट भने केही गरेर देखाउँछु भन्ने हौसला थियो । घरमा कक्षा १० मा राम्रो अङ्क आएमा गितार किनिदिने भनेको हुँदा त मेरो परीक्षामा राम्रो गर्ने प्रेरणाले भने मलाई विश्वमा कसैले मेरो गितार लान सक्दैन भने झैँ लाग्यो । पहिलो दिनमा भने खास त्यस्तो केही नभएको हुँदा मेरो मन शान्त नै रहिरह्यो । कक्षा १० मा भने कोही नँया विद्यार्थी साथी नआएको हुँदा मलाई  खास अचम्म लागेन, किनकि अब कक्षा १० मा विद्यालय बदल्न गाह्रो हुन्छ भन्ने कुरा मलाई थाह थियो । पहिलो हप्ता त हामीलाई कक्षा कोठामा के गर्ने र के नगर्ने महत्त्वपूर्ण कुराहरू स्मरण गराइयो । यस्तै अनेकौँ कुराहरूको पुनर स्मरण गराउँदा गराउँदै हाम्रो कक्षा १० को पहिलो साता बित्यो । दोस्रो हप्ताबाट भने झन्डै सबै गुरुहरूले पढाउन सुरु गर्नु भयो जब कि पहिलो हप्ताबाट पनि समय नपुग्ने भएर केही शिक्षकले पाठ्यक्रमअनुसार पढाउन काेर्स अगि बढाउनुभयाे । कक्षा ९ पनि अब माध्यमिक विद्यालय भएकाले उनीहरूसँग हाम्रो अतिरिक्त क्रियाकलाप हुने कुरा मलाई थाहा थियो । तर यो साथै कक्षा ९ मा धेरै विद्यार्थी भएका कारण यस्ता अतिरिक्त क्रियाकलापमा हल्ला धेरै हुने भयो भनेर मेरो मनमा अलिकति छटपटी भइरहेको थियो । गणित  विषय अलि गाह्रो लाग्ने भएका कारण यो वर्ष अरू विषयभन्दा गणितमा अलि राम्ररी ध्यान दिएर राम्रो अङ्क ल्याउने मेरो उद्देश्य थियो ।
कक्षा १० को पहिलो हप्ता भने राम्ररी र सहजै बिते पनि दोस्रो हप्ता देखि चाँहि अलि धेरै काम थुप्रिएको मैले पाएँ । सबै विषयको टन्न टन्न गृहकार्य भएको कारणले दोस्रो हप्ता चाँहि अलि गाह्रो भयो । कक्षा ९ को परीक्षा पछिको बिदामा नलेखेको कारणले होला कलम नै कहिल्यै नसमातेझैँ भयो । र धेरै गृहकार्य गर्न यसले अलि गाह्रो पार्यो । तर दोस्रो हप्ताको अन्त्यसम्म मलाई कलम चलाउने सहज हुँदै गयाे । अहिले निरन्तर मेराे पढाइ चलिरहेकाे छ ।

Athletes Should Be Paid Equally
- Kristina Rai - 27006, Grade I ... 02 June, 2023

With the slogan that reads, “Men and women in equality endowed with the same dignity” in every small alleys out there, where the voices are still unheard to the world outside and footsteps are on silent echo which still creates the footprint for society to throw each and every tantrum for women. They face backlash just for being involved in ‘masculine activities’ in reality there should not be any gender barrier division on a platform. Both can have the capability to shine but our society indeed never opened the book where it states that a particular gender has the freedom to reflect on themselves in both femininity and masculinity.

Just like the games and sports of every goal with the blood sweat and tears screams the cheers for wearing the golden and silver. This astonishing platform was only to be taken up by men. Ever since the past till the present to our coming future none of the women are given the opportunities to show what they can do. Maybe there might be fewer platforms opened now for women but still there is no sign of change in opportunities of big sports likely today. With some of the most popular games like soccer that gathers the whole world still don't have women in bigger platforms of bigger gameplay. Even though women's world cup was held back in 2019 the total prize was only worth 30 million dollars where as to exactly talk about the men's world cup the prize was worth 400 million dollars, which in fact still shows how stiff this stereotypical society can bluntly treat different genders when both should be defined by the talented with their skills.

As of now, when many people are bringing this topic to the table, raising their voice for equality and justice, the gender pay gap still arises in many other platforms. Women are still not paid enough in comparison to men and this is really affecting the younger youths because of how society has stated the typical gender difference. So it's time for everyone to unite into one to raise our voice and rights against the inequality in each and every field because one deserves to get paid well enough according to their potential. Sports should be a diverse platform where one can fulfill their wants and passion for the world. And just like that if society is together with great women like Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, Katie Ledecky who have written their names in history with their great passion for sports, many others like these ladies can come forward and show the world that gender doesn’t determine one’s ability. So, the future is ours, if we do not take charge now then the upcoming generation can no longer see the brighter change for gender equality. In this world where history can write thousands of letters with your name, we must look forward to working hard, showing  skills and winning every opportunity that is presented to us.

How the Atomic Bomb Haunted its Creator for Years
- Sauharda Bajracharya - 26010, ... 01 June, 2023

J. Robert Oppenheimer, often called the “Father of the Atomic Bomb” was an American physicist best known for his contribution in the Manhattan project - the project responsible for developing the nuclear bomb, a weapon of mass destruction. The man who created the weapon capable of destroying entire nations was haunted by it all throughout his life. He was born and raised in Manhattan, New York to a Jewish family. He attended Harvard University as a chemistry major, however he studied physics, literature and philosophy. After graduating from Harvard, he taught as a physics teacher at University of California.

He had been researching nuclear fission - a powerful reaction caused by splitting of two atoms releasing a lot of energy. The best element for fission was uranium (U). When an unstable uranium atom is collided with another atom, a chain reaction occurs, splitting the atom apart and ultimately releasing a huge amount of energy. Another element, plutonium(Pu), is also highly fissionable, so the first atomic bomb was made using this element. The first plutonium bomb was detonated on July 16, 1945. “We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita; “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds. I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.”, said Oppenheimer. The following month, two atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan resulting in the deaths of thousands. After Japan surrendered ending the Second World War, Oppenheimer expressed guilt for developing such a weapon of mass destruction. However, he criticized the state and government for the misuse of such dangerous weapons. In 1953, the government suspected Oppenheimer of being a communist spy after having an affair with an American Communist Party member- Jean Tatlock. Oppenheimer was accused of being a Soviet spy initially in 1949 after the Soviet Union successfully conducted a nuclear bomb test. A hearing was followed in 1954 focusing on Oppenheimer's past communist ties and his relationship with communist scientists during the Manhattan Project. Though he had never been a communist himself, his case was heard and his security clearance was revoked meaning he could no longer access any confidential information or enter any restricted areas. Edward Teller, commonly known as “The father of the hydrogen bomb” testified on behalf of the government after Oppenheimer opposed the idea of developing a hydrogen bomb- a bomb thousand times more powerful than the atomic bomb. 
Oppenheimer thought it was unnecessary to have a more powerful weapon that could wipe out the human race. Teller was later criticized by many for his testimony. Oppenheimer spent his last years living a quiet life in New Jersey. When President John F. Kennedy offered him a new trial to get his security clearance back, he declined. He was diagnosed with throat cancer in 1965 and died on February 18, 1967 at the age of 62. His development of the atomic bomb not only haunted him, but it continues to haunt all of us. Today, a nuclear bomb could be dropped on any country at any time, and there is no one to stop it.

आमाबुबाको गर्व
- Krishma Thapa - 27005, Grade ... 01 June, 2023

एक गाउँमा तीन जनाको परिवार बस्थे । उनीहरू मध्यम वर्गीय परिवार थिए । तिनीहरूको एक सन्तान छोरी थिइन् । उनी अति मेहनती थिइन् । एक दिन उनले विद्यालयमा वादविवाद प्रतियोगिता जितिन् । बुबाले वाचा गरेअनुसार उनले उनलाई रेष्टुरेन्टमा लगे ।

उनीहरू होटल पुगे । एक किसानको रूपमा उसलाई त्यो होटेलमा जान साँच्चै गाह्रो थियो। जब तिनीहरू आफ्नो सिटमा बसे, उसले आफ्नी छोरीका लागि केवल एक प्लेट मिठाई अर्डर गरे । तिनीहरूले केही बेर होटल वरिपरि हेरे। चाँडै तिनीहरूको मिठाईको थाली आइपुग्यो । वेटरले उसलाई अरू केही माग्यो तर उसले मानेन । उनकी छोरीले वादविवाद प्रतियोगिता जितेकाले उनलाई उनीप्रति गर्व थियाे । त्यसैकाे  उपहारस्वरूप उनलाई मिठाई ख्वाउन ल्याएका थिए  । बाबुले वेटरलाई आफ्नो सङ्घर्षबारे बताए ।

कसरी उनले आफ्नी छोरीलाई यो उपहारको लागि आफ्नाे कामकाे दस दिनको पैसा जम्मा गरे । पैसाको लागि जति सङ्घर्ष गरे पनि छोरीलाई खुसी देख्न चाहन्थे । छोरीले बडाे स्वादले मिठाई खाँदै गर्दा ऊ होटेल वरिपरि घुमिरह्यो । उनी मिठाईको बिलको बारेमा चिन्तित थिए । किनभने उनले महँगो बिल तिर्नुपर्ने थियाे ।  वेटरलाई नराम्रो लाग्यो किनकि उनले पहिले नै धेरै सङ्घर्ष गरिरहेका थिए र छोरीको खुसीका लागि उनले धेरै  कुरा त्याग गरेका थिए । त्यो कुरा बताउन वेटर  मालिककहाँ गयो ।  वेटर भएकोले उसलाई केही दिने अधिकार थिएन । त्यसैले उसले आफ्नो मालिकलाई सबै कुरा बतायाे । उनीसँग मिठाई आफैँ दिनुको विकल्प थिएन तर उनकाे परिवारलाई मद्दत गर्न र कम्तीमा एक पटक खुसी पार्न चाहन्थे । यो तिनीहरूका लागि व्यापारमा घाटा हुन सक्छ । तिनीहरू चाहन्थे कि बच्चाले सधैँ आफ्नो जीवनमा राम्रो काम गरोस् । केही बेर छलफल गरेपछि वेटर र होटल मालिक अनुहारमा मुस्कान लिएर फर्के । जुन कुरा बाबुका लागि एउटा ठुलाे राहत थियाे । बाबुले यताउता हेरिरहेका थिए । छोरीको अनुहारमा मुस्कान देखेर बुबा धेरै खुसी भए । मालिक उनीहरूलाई भेटेपछि ऊ सुरुमा छक्क पर्यो । तिनीहरूले छोरीलाई बधाई पनि दिए ।  किसान साँच्चै खसीले गदगद भए ।कसैले आफ्नी छोरीकाे यस्ताे राम्राे  प्रशंसा गरेकामा । उनकी छोरी उनको एक मात्र आशा थिई । तिनीहरूले उनलाई आफ्नो तर्फबाट उपहार स्वरूप  मिठाईको प्लेट दिए ।। सुरुमा उनी मिठाई लिन हिचकिचाइन् । अरूले पनि आफूप्रति गर्व गरेकोले उनी खुसी भइन् र भविष्यमा पनि आफ्नो यो महान् कार्यलाई निरन्तरता दिने कुरा सुनाइन् । आफ्ना  बुबालाई सबैभन्दा खुसी बनाउने कुरा गरिन् ।

उसले ती मिठाईहरू घरमा आफ्नी श्रीमतीको लागि प्याक गर्न चाहन्थे तर मालिकले उसलाई रोके । उनकी श्रीमतीको लागि पनि अर्काे एक प्याकेट दिए । केही समयपछि उनीहरू अनुहारमा खुसी लिएर  घर फर्के । उनीहरूले होटलमा भएको सबै कुरा घरमा गरे । उनकी श्रीमती पनि खुसी भइन् । यस्ताे मिहिनेत र सफलताका लागि तिनीहरूले आफ्नी छाेरीकाे प्रशंसा गरे ।
