Most people in Asia live with their parents, unlike the western continents. And living with parents is not like living alone or with a friend. Parents in Asia usually prefer their children to be in front of themselves at all times and that they should not be out after dusk.
Having Asian parents, I sometimes think that they really try to control everything I do or everything my brother does while sometimes I think it is good if they supervise me. So I needed clarification if Parental Supervision is the same as Parental control. And those are two different things. Parental control lets parents order their children to do something while parental supervision is when a parent sees and instructs their children while doing something. Parental Supervision is useless unless a parent has some control over their children. Instructing and seeing what their children do is useless if the children do not do what the parent is instructing. While excessive parental control is not good for children, parental control is still necessary for parents to guide their children and show them the right path. Signs of excessive parental control are demanding blind obedience, not allowing children to question adults’/parents’ decisions, not letting children make their own decisions, and helping children without being asked. I have sometimes felt as if my parents want everything exactly as they wish and I really do not like it that way. Life can not be as one always desires and one has to understand , be wise and let it be the way it is. Parental control is not a problem only in Asia but all over the world but Asian parents mostly try to gain control over their children. If there is too much parental control then the children will be affected but excess parental supervision is completely fine as supervising a child is good for the child. Supervising a child would mean making something a child does better. Supervising a child will help the child to perform the task better as well as understand what is better for the child themselves.
So in conclusion I would like to say that parental control and parental supervision are two different things and they impact a child in a whole different way. Parental supervision is something necessary for a child whereas excessive parental control may impact the child in a negative way. Parental supervision is really important for a child’s growth and development but parental control is not really necessary.
बस चढ्दै थिएँ र मैले एउटा अनौठो मान्छे देखेँ । ऊ अग्लो थियो र टोपी लगाइरहेको थियो । म उभिरहेको थिएँ भने ऊ बसिरहेको थियो । ऊ किताब पढ्दै थियो । पुस्तककाे नाम थियो ‘शङ्का’। त्यो मान्छेले मास्क लगाएको थियो र उसका आँखा मात्र देखिन्थे । जब उसले मलाई हेर्याे, मैले उसलाई धेरै लामो समयदेखि हेरिरहेको रहेछु । मैले यति लामो समयसम्म उसलाई हेरिरहेको छु भन्ने पत्तै भएन । मैले अर्को दिशातिर हेरेँ र ऊ किताब पढ्न थाल्याे । बस राेकियाे र म बसबाट ओर्लेँ । मलाई थाहा छैन । मैले किन उसलाई अनौठो वा रोचक व्यक्तिकाे रूपमा पाएँ ? सायद, त्यो किताबको शीर्षक पाे थियो कि ? जसले मलाई जिज्ञासु बनायो । उसको पहिरन पनि एकदमै आकर्षक थियो । ऊ अवश्य पनि हुनेखाने परिवारकाे मान्छे हाे । याेभन्दा अगाडि देखेकाे थिइन । सायद, आज उसकाे आफ्नाे गाडीमा समस्या आएर पाे हाे कि, सार्वजनिक बसमा यात्रा गरेकाे । त्याे अपरिचित व्यक्तिका बारेमा के के साेच्न पुगेछु ।
म आफ्नो काममा गएँ । काम सकेपछि नजिकैकाे चिया पसलमा चिया पिइरहेको थिएँ । त्यही पसलमा अकस्मात कलेज पढ्दाकाे पुरानाे साथीसँग भेट भयाे । ऊ धेरै परिवर्तन भएकी रहिछे । पहिले ऊ साँच्चै अरूलाई दुःख दिने काम गर्थी । आज मैले उसलाई एक सभ्य र शालिन व्यक्तिको रूपमा देखेँ । उसले मलाई मेरो कामको बारेमा सोधी र मैले पनि उसकाे कामकाे बारेमा सोधेँ । ऊ विमान परिचारिकाको रूपमा काम गरिरहेकी रहिछे र ५० भन्दा बढी देशहरू उडिसकेकी रहिछे । यसले मलाई आश्चर्यचकित तुल्यायो, किनकि मैले उसलाई यति धेरै प्रगति गर्न सक्ने व्यक्तिको रूपमा कहिल्यै देखेको थिइन । हामी केही समय कुरा गर्याैँ र आआफ्ना घर फर्कियाैँ ।
घर फर्किंदै गर्दा सडक नजिकैकाे खेल मैदानमा फुटबल खेलिरहेका केटाकेटीहरूलाई देखेँ । तिनीहरू चिच्याइरहेका थिए । एउटा बच्चाले "ओई बल यता पास गर् " भनेर कराउयो र अचानक मलाई मेरो बाल्यकालको याद आयो । म बाल्यकालतिर फर्किएँ । म हाइस्कुलमा पढ्दै थिएँ । मसँग धेरै साथीहरू थिए र स्कुलपछि प्रशस्त खाली समय हुन्थ्याे । मैले राम्रो अङ्क ल्याउँथेँ त्यसैले मेरा आमाबाबुले मलाई दिनहुँ खेल्न बाहिर जान दिनुहुन्थ्यो । मैले छिमेकमा स्कुलमा सङ्गै पढ्ने बाहेकका साथीहरू पनि बनाए र तिनीहरूसँग हरेक दिन खेल खेल्थेँ । एक दिन म नराम्ररी लडेर खुट्टाकाे हड्डी नै भाँचियो । मैले लगभग दुई महिनासम्म घरमै थन्केर बस्नु परेकाे थियाे । तर पनि सन्चाे भएपछि खेल्न छोडिनँ । केही समयपछि विभिन्न कामहरू गर्नुपर्यो । मैले जीवनमा स-साना कुराको आनन्द लिन छोडेँ । आजकल मसँग रमाइलो गर्नका लागि समय पनि हुँदैन ।
कुरा खेलाउँदा खेलाउँदै केही समयपछि घर पुगेँ । मैले खाना खाएँ । बाँकी रहेकाे कार्यालयको काम सबै पूरा गरेँ । सुत्न तरखर गर्न थालेँ र दिनभरिका भए गरेका गतिविधि दिमागमा नाच्न थाले । बसमा देखेकाे मान्छे सम्झदा मैले पनि पढ्नुपर्छ जस्तो लाग्यो । मेरो पुरानो साथीसँगकाे भेट् साँच्चै रमाइलाे थियो । तर यसले मलाई अलि दुःखी बनायो किनभने अहिले म हुर्किसकेको छु र जागिर पाएको छु । मसँग धेरै साथीहरू छैनन् । मसँग धेरै सहकर्मीहरू छन् । मैले जीवनको मजा लिन सकिरहेको छैन । केटाकेटीले ससाना कुरामा रमाइलो गरेको देख्दा आफैमा नरमाइलाे अनुभूति हुन्छ । म सधैँ तनावमा हुन्छु । म सबै समय थकित भएकाे महसुस गर्छु । बुबाआमाले मप्रति धेरै गर्व गर्नुहुन्थ्यो । अहिले मबाट निराश हुनुहुन्छ किनभने मैले अझै पनि पदोन्नति पाएको छैन । म अझै अविवाहित छु । म साँच्चै चाहन्छु कि छुट्टीमा जान सकूँ र जीवनको आनन्द लिन सकूँ। यी कुरा सोच्दै म निदाएँ । म भोलिपल्ट बिहान उठेँ र उही कार्य दोहोरियाे । म बसमा चढेँ ; काममा गएँ ; घर फर्किएँ; खाना खाएँ र आफ्नो जीवनलाई पश्चातापमा पारेँ । जीवन यसरी नै ……… ।
As Meera sat at her desk, staring at the clock ticking away, she couldn't help but feel the weight of the expectations on her shoulders. She was a working woman, a wife, a mother, and a daughter-in-law, each role demanding her time and energy in equal measure. But Meera was determined to not let go of her dreams, and she was determined to find a way to balance it all, despite the resistance from her in-laws.
Meera grew up in Nepal, where traditional expectations of women were deeply ingrained in society. She was raised with the understanding that her ultimate goal in life was to get married, have children, and take care of her husband and family. But Meera was different, she had always been ambitious and wanted to make something of herself, be independent.
She worked hard to get good grades and went to college, graduating with a degree in Business Administration. She landed a job at a reputable company and quickly climbed the ranks. She was proud of her accomplishments, but she knew that her journey was far from over.
Meera got married and had children, but the expectations of her role as a wife and a daughter-in-law were overwhelming. Her in-laws were hesitant about her working, and they pressured her to leave her job and focus on her family. They wanted her to fulfill traditional duties as a wife, such as cooking and cleaning for her in-laws and husband. She also felt the societal pressure to conform to the traditional gender roles, to prioritize her husband and children over her own aspirations.
It was a constant battle for Meera, but she was determined to not let go of her dreams. She talked to her husband about her goals and aspirations, and he was supportive of her decision to continue working. But convincing her in-laws was a different story, they were hesitant about her working and couldn't understand why she would want to continue working instead of focusing on her role as a wife and mother.
Meera knew that she had to find a way to make her in-laws understand that her career and her role as a wife and mother could coexist. She showed them that her job provided her with a sense of purpose and fulfillment, and that she could still be a good wife and mother while working. She also shared with them how her job also helped financially in supporting the family.
Through several conversations and discussions, Meera's in-laws finally came to understand and accept her decision to continue working. They also realized that Meera's job provided extra financial support and stability for the family. With their support, Meera was able to find a balance that allowed her to excel in her career and still be an attentive wife and mother.
Meera and her husband made a schedule, delegating tasks and responsibilities, making sure everyone was playing their part in keeping the household running smoothly. They also established a clear communication system, where they discussed and planned their schedules, so they were aware of each other's commitments. This helped them to make sure that their children were well taken care of and that the household chores were done even when one of them was away at work.
Meera's determination to achieve balance served as an inspiration to many other women, who were going through similar struggles with their in-laws. She showed them that it is possible to have the support and understanding of your in-laws, and that with determination and effective communication, you can achieve your dreams. Meera's journey also highlighted how societal attitudes and expectations can be obstacles to progress and how it's important for every woman to have agency over her own life, and make choices that will bring her happiness and fulfillment.

Greek mythology is a fascinating part of the history that most people believe in. Most modern time art pieces nowadays are highly inspired by Greek Mythology. Even though these inspirations are subtle and not noticeable, they do still exist. So what does this mythology consist of? Greek mythology consisted of 12 main gods who were known as the Olympian deities. They were Zeus, Hera, Aphrodite, Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Demeter, Dionysus, Hephaestus, Hermes and Poseidon. The mythology also consisted of the involvement of the human species and animals. Today’s main topic is Hercules.
Hercules was the son of Zeus. He was a Demi-god who had great strength and courage. Hercules is usually known as the hero in Greek mythology and indeed, that is true as for most people Hercules was a hero. Being a Demi-god never made Hercules’s character arrogant or ignorant. Hercules constantly put himself through hardship and trouble. He was a symbol of hope for normal human beings. He was keen on showing that everyone has to endure pain so no one gets to complain about it. He wanted to assure everyone that bad things would pass by.
Hercules did commit some villainous acts but they weren’t committed when he was conscious of himself. Hercules killed several innocent people due to the manipulation from Goddess Hera. He killed his entire family after being driven mad with bloodlust from Goddess Hera. She despised Hercules for being the son of Zeus. After finally coming to senses thanks to Athena, Hercules felt insanely guilty. He decided to repent his sins by doing 12 labors. These labors were hard and strenuous yet Hercules did them.
Hercules also killed Iphitos, the son of Eurythoes. After finishing his 12 labors Hercules was traveling through the land of Eurythoe. The king challenged him to win an archery match and as a reward he would get one of his daughters. Hercules won but the king went back at his words causing Hercules to leave mad. Right after that 12 of the king's mars were stolen for which Hercules was blamed. Iphitos believed that Hercules was innocent. They were on the top of the castle discussing who they actually were when suddenly Hercules pushed Iphitos off the walls due to bloodlust. Hercules was punished for it with more labors and serving Queen Ompale of Lydia.
The only death that Hercules caused without being under the influence of the Goddess Hera was the death of his teacher Linus. Hercules was quite arrogant as a child and didn’t follow rules. To teach Hercules a lesson Linus decided to punish him, but the plan didn’t work out as Hercules threw the lure at her and it ended her life instantly. Hercules did not realize how much strength he held.
Hercules did feel extremely guilty for all of these deaths. He tried to do everything he could to cleanse himself from this unforgivable sin. Hercules could be considered a hero as most of his crimes were committed with Goddess Hera being the mastermind. He protected human beings from other evils whilst being a Demi god himself. He could be commended for that. Hercules is a hero to many as his crimes, he repented for were due to Goddess Hera.

म भाइलाई औधी माया गर्छु
मेरा बुबाआमा पनि गर्नुहुन्छ
जब तिमी समस्यामा हुन्छाै
म सधैँ तिम्राे साथमा हुने छु
कहिले कहिले झगडा गर्छ
कहिले कहिले मिलेर बस्छ
कहिलेकाहीँ ऊ मुस्कुराउँछ
कहिलेकाहीँ भने रिसाउँछ
जब तिमी एक्लो महसुस गर्छाै
म तिमीलाई मनोरञ्जन गर्ने छु
ऊ निकै चकचके पनि छ
अनि, कहिलेकाहीँ रुन्छ
ऊ धेरै हँसिलाे पनि छ
सबैसँग मिलनसार कुरा गर्छ
मेराे भाइ मेराे खुसी पनि हाे
उसलाई म औधी मन पराउँछु
This, by any means, is not a review. Rather, it’s just my personal opinion or just some simple thoughts on Evangelion’s ending, Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time. And of course, there’s going to be a lot of spoilers, for the main series and as well as the Rebuild of Evangelion film series. Thrice Upon A Time is a Japanese science fiction film co-directed, written and produced by the one and only Hideaki Anno. Anno is the man responsible for the whole series of Evangelion and has earned a fair amount of love, hate and respect from fans all over the world for his work on Eva. Produced by Studio Khara, Thrice Upon A Time is the fourth and final film in the Rebuild of Evangelion film series, part of the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise. Even though the “Rebuild” series started out as remakes of the original series, it diverted into telling stories of their own. Although somewhat connected to the main plot, the “Rebuild” series do have the “originality”. It was shown as if the film series was a completely different story that moved the past events of the show into a completely unexplored new territory. Thrice Upon A Time brings the long-delayed, highly anticipated tetralogy to a close with a bold, messy, uplifting and emotional film that expands complements upon what came before, while giving fans a fitting and a remarkable close not only to the film series but also the whole “Evangelion” series.
Evangelion throughout the years has had people confused, emotional while also spreading entertainment and empathy from its amazing works. As a person who has completed this series and continued the journey from the first step, I could say why people have had this in their hearts, maintaining its position as one of their favorites. I remember the first time watching Evangelion. It was mysterious. It bewildered me, my thoughts and emotions were puzzled everywhere while it also perplexed my imaginations. The whole saga of children, angels and giant mecha-robots ‘Evas’ threw my whole imagination of the show. After even rewatching the show multiple times, I thought it was merely nothing more than a simple mecha show about kids fighting enemies. No, it was something more. It had something even greater. It wasn’t just any mecha show having kids with absurd superpowers using it to defend themselves and the world. Thrice Upon A Time is a show that reflected me. It made me relate to the characters. How the characters learned about each other, their life, learned how to grow together and also accepting themselves for who they are. It made me know and learn about mental health issues. The problems one has at their teen age, their puberty. Not everything has a perfect solution and yeah, it’s fine. You just learn to live with it. Eva was a passionate way for one man to lay his raw emotions and ideas out there. It’s a story about a broken man and his journey to solace or simply comfort. Thrice Upon A Time does really feel like a story that Anno wanted to tell all those years ago. This is a story that is consistent with everything that came before, while also justifying its existence by adding something essential to this franchise, closure. It’s a rebuild that comments and enhances the experience of watching “Neon Genesis Evangelion” while telling a compelling story of its own. Where many franchises end with a wave of nostalgia meant to leave fans craving for more, this movie ends with a reaffirming wish to go out into the world and not look back.
Evangelion is probably a series that will stick with me for the rest of my life, but growing up and moving out of Eva isn’t so difficult. The whole series made me feel things that I never felt. The raw emotions sent by Anno roaring throughout myself made me realize who I really was, who I really am and who I really will be. Thrice Upon A Time is Hideaki Anno providing closure not only to himself or the series, but also to every and any one who had been a part of the journey throughout the last 26 years of its release. Although I had just recently completed the series, the nostalgia that wasn’t supposed to hit, had struck me. Evangelion is finally finished and may it never come back. Goodbye and thank you to all of Evangelion, and also to all the children who grew up with the series, a big congratulations.
Many people have body dysmorphia. Numerous people in this generation are obsessed with their weight. If someone is feeling down because of their appearance and tries to find comfort by posting it on social media, what do people do? They simply make others feel worse about themselves. Most people who suffer from body dysmorphia are teenagers. The main reason is people who body shame others. They body shame others for their satisfaction but do not realize what it can lead to.
How does it feel to constantly be worried about your weight and appearance? Well, the majority of individuals undoubtedly say that it is slowly eating them alive and constantly depressing them. Even we find ourselves comparing our bodies to others. People of all sizes can obsess over their weights. Comments like ‘you have gained weight’ or ‘you have lost weight’ can trigger a person's mental stability. Even if you’re skinny people will have negative thoughts and even if you are fat people will still complain so we should not really try changing ourselves for others. It is quite sad seeing people constantly worrying about others' weight and complaining about it. In this generation people think that fat means ugly. Being fat or skinny is not a bad thing. Society needs to stop telling people what to do about their bodies. Body shaming needs to stop as soon as possible. People do not understand that their words can hurt. Body shaming can lead a person to obsess over their weight so much that they starve themselves or binge eat which could lead to eating disorders. Obsession with weight causes a lot of problems in one's life. They constantly worry about their weight and appearance to the point they start hating everything about themselves. A lot of people try changing their appearance to please others. If a person is neglected throughout their life and considered “ugly” and suddenly once they change their appearance and people will start noticing them more than it is obvious that they will think that is what people want and try to change their entire selves. We often find ourselves obsessing over our appearance and try to change it because we feel so ugly and irritated. We compare ourselves to others who fit the ‘beauty standards' and try being more like them. Constantly looking at the mirror and breaking down, hiding your body and face, using makeup to cover your imperfections are only a few negative effects of it.
It can even lead to self harm and poor mental health. If we obsess over our weight/appearance too much then it can worsen to the point we can not stand our own reflection. A lot of people try changing their appearance but even if it changes they can not accept themselves which causes anxiety, depression, suicide, self harm, etc. People need to stop commenting about others' appearances. Even if you do not fit the beauty standards, always remember that everyone is beautiful and has their own flaws. We do not have to look like people who are labeled as “perfect”. Also all sizes are beautiful and everyone has their own flaws and imperfections so stop hating on yourself.

Mahabir Pun wasn't able to have the life that he wanted. Instead in his early childhood, he used to help his parents in grazing cattle and doing household activities. Nobody in his village ever got the opportunity to study due to the lack of schools there but Mahabir Pun got the chance to read as his father, after being retired as the Gorkha Army, shifted his entire family to the southern plains and invested all his money on Pun’s education. After he completed high school, he worked for 12 years as a teacher to support his siblings’ education. After this time period, he applied to universities in the UK and US. He then received a partial scholarship from the University of Nebraska at Kearney in 1989 AD. After he received a bachelor's degree, he returned back to the village where he lived during his early childhood. He noticed the lack of development there. Hence, he built a high school and introduced computer education in Nangi. It served for educational and economical development of the district. In 2001 AD, he again returned to Nebraska to complete his Master’s degree. Mahabir Pun got married to Ommaya Pun in 1998 AD. They gave birth to a daughter named June Pun in 1998 AD. To date, Mahabir Pun has contributed a lot to the development of remote areas of Nepal. He modernized the schools in the villages and provided the students there with better education. He also started income-generating activities like yak farming, cheese and jam production, camping operation, and various programs to raise money for establishing universities and providing employment opportunities to the villagers. During this time, Pun had to walk time and again for a long distance to talk with the villagers as there was a lack of communication media in the village. Hence, he decided to establish the Nepal Wireless Networking Project to build a local communication network for using WiFi to connect people in the Himalayan region. During the time of Maoist Insurgency, the Nepalese authority prohibited the use of WiFi but still, Pun was able to expand his project to 175 remote villages. These villages use the internet for e-learning, e-healthcare, e-commerce, money transfers, and many more.
Mahabir Pun is awarded lots of awards. He has received awards like Social Innovations Award, Magsaysay Award, Jonathan B. Postel Service Award, and many more. Not only that, he was chosen as Ashoka Fellow by the Ashoka Foundation in 2002 AD. He is not only a scientist but a social worker as well. Moreover, he is a role model who motivates the youths of Nepal to return back to their homeland and perform incredible activities for its development.

राम दिनभरिकाे थकाइपछि घर फर्कदै थियो । उसले आफ्नाे कार्यालयकाे काम पूरा गरिसकेको थियाे । भोलिबाट बिदा सुरु हुने भएकाले एकदमै राम्रो मुडमा थियाे । तर, ऊ अचानक झस्कियाे । आफ्नो घरतिर जाने गल्लीमा हिँड्दै थियाे । उसले त्यहाँ दुई जना मानिस उभिरहेको देख्यो । भुइँमा एउटा मानिस हाे, या लाश हाे पल्टिरहेकाे थियो । त्याे देखेर राम त्यहाँबाट भाग्न थाल्याे । उसले देखेको कुरा वास्तविक थियो वा थिएन ? त्याे कुरा उसले साेच्न नै भ्याएन । या त्याे परिस्थितिलाई सामना गर्न सकिन्थ्याे कि ? ती कुनै पनि कुराकाे विचार नगरी ऊ एकाेहाेराे भाग्न थाल्याे । एकछिनपछि त टाउकामा चाेट लागेकाे जस्ताे भयाे । खुट्टा चल्न छाेडे । आँखाले कालाेबाहेक केही देखेन । ऊ केही घण्टापछि मात्र हाेसमा आयाे । उसले आफूलाई अँध्यारो कोठाकाे कुर्सीमा बाँधिएको अवस्थामा पायाे । टाउको कपडाले बाँधिएको थियो । टाउकोमा लागेकाे चाेटले गर्दा हाेला असह्य पीडा भइरहेकाे थियाे । दुईजना मानिसहरू एकआपसमा कुरा गरिरहेका थिए । तिनीहरूले याद गरेनन् वा कुनै चाल नै पाएनन् त्यहाँ भएका सबै हाेसमा आइसकेका थिए । रामले बिस्तारै टाउकाे घुमाएर हेर्याे । उसले कोठाको कुनामा एकजना मानिस सुतिरहेको देख्यो । ऊ त्यही व्यक्ति थियो, जसलाई उसले पहिले मरेको ठानेको थियो । त्यो मानिस अझै जिउँदै रहेछ भन्ने कुराकाे चाल पायाे । रामले अझै पनि यहाँ के हुँदैछ भन्ने कुरा बुझ्न सकेन । टाउको दुखाइले उसलाई झन् अफ्ट्याराे पारिरहेकाे थियाे । जब टाउको घुम्न र दुख्न कम भयो, त्यसपछि कोठा चलिरहेको जस्ताे पाे महसुस गर्यो । बिस्तारै ऊ कुनै गाडीमा रहेछु भन्ने भान भयाे ।
उसले गाडीबाट बाहिर निस्कने योजना सोच्न थाल्याे । केही समयपछि गाडी रोकियो । ती मानिसहरू बाहिर बाहिर गए । रामले आफूलाई बाँधेकाे डोरीबाट मुक्त पाउन डाेरी काट्नको लागि लाइटर प्रयोग गर्यो र अर्को व्यक्तिसँग मिलेर अपहरणकर्ताहरूको चङ्गुलबाट बाहिर निस्कने योजना बनायाे । जब तिनीहरूले गेट खोल्न थाले । त्यो त बन्द थियो । तिनीहरू कहाँ छन् भनेर पत्ता लगाउन प्रयास गरे तर गर्न सकेनन् । अपहरणकारी आउँदासम्म राम र अर्काे व्यक्ति पनि चक्कु र अन्य साधन लिएर तयारी अवस्थामा बसेका थिए । त्यसपछि जब अपहरणकारीहरू फर्किए तिनीहरूले निदाएको नाटक गरे र रामसँग चक्कु थियो र अर्काेकाे एक हातमा लाइटर र अर्काे हातमा बालुवा जस्तो केही थियो । जब अपहरणकारीहरूले आफूहरू सुरक्षित छाैँ र तिनीहरू आफ्नो हतियारबाट टाढा छन् भनेर सहज महसुस गरे । रामले भर्खरै ब्युँझेको जस्तो नाटक गर्यो । केही समयपछि त्याे व्यक्तिले अपहरणकर्ताको अनुहारमा बालुवा जस्ताेले हान्याे । रामले पनि उनीहरूमाथि चक्कु प्रहार गर्यो र उनीहरूले त्याे गाडीबाट हाम फाले । हाम फालेर नजिकै रहेकाे ट्रकभित्र पसे तर त्याे ट्रकमा राम र त्याे अर्काे व्यक्तिले पहिला ने प्रेटाेल फालेका थिए । अपहरणकारी ट्रकमा पस्ने बित्तिकै त्याे व्यक्तिले आगाे सहितकाे लाइटर फालेर ट्रक ध्वस्त नै बनायाे । स्थानीयले सहयोग गरेकाले उनीहरू त्यहाँबाट सकुशल बाहिर निस्किन सफल भए । तर त्याे अर्काे व्यक्ति भाग्न सफल भयाे । रामलाई फेरि उनीहरूले समात्याे । रामले पछि मात्र थाहा पायाे । त्याे भागेकाे व्यक्ति नै वास्तविक अपराधी रहेछ । उसले मारेका व्यक्ति सरकारी अधिकारीहरू थिए । अपहरणकारी भनेका व्यक्ति त प्रहरी पाे रहेछन् । अहिले त्याे अपराधी व्यक्तिलाई सहयाेग गरेकाे आराेपमा गल्ती नगर्दा पनि राम दाेषी देखियाे । वास्तविक कुरा नबुझ्दा रामले खालि दुःख पायाे ।
