Should the Government limit the number of children in a family?
- Anuska Yadav - 26003, Grade I ... 25 November, 2022

There is a lot of population growth in many of the countries today. There is a large population distribution in different countries, with some having very few people and others having a large number of people. There are countries in the world that are very populated with people, like India and China, and other countries that are rarely populated. I believe that the countries that are having a lot of children should take steps to charge a tax on the number of children in a family.

There are a number of problems that are apparent when there are so many people. Poverty, unemployment, crime, and illiteracy are problems that are seen in large populations. Every country has a finite number of resources, and as the population grows, it may lead to the resources becoming exhausted. Sometimes, it is necessary for a government to take hard action to control the population. One way a government could limit access to public services or impose high taxes could be by limiting the number of children a person can have. If someone has more than the approved number of children, they may not be able to get some of the things they want or may have to pay a higher price for things.

I think it is important for a country's population to be balanced and proportional to its resources and area. Government can impose rules to control the population by taxing the individuals who contribute to increasing the population.

बुढेसकाल
- Aarav B.C. - 25001, Grade X o ... 25 November, 2022

मलाई बुढेसकालसँग धेरै डर लाग्छ
हाम्रो शरीर कमजोर र कुरूप बन्दै जान्छ
हिजाेका निर्णयहरू सोच्दै पछुताउन थाल्छौँ
साँच्चै त्याे जीवन अन्धकारझैँ हुन्छ हाेला।  

तर बुढो हुनु प्रकृतिको नियम हो
अन्ततः मृत्युले हामीलाई पर्खिरहेको छ
मनमा धेरै कुराहरू खेल्छन् होला
के जीवनको उद्देश्य मृत्यु नै हो र ?

बुढो हुनु भनेको एक श्राप हो र ?
मानिसदेखि जनावरसम्म बुढो हुँदै जान्छन्
मृत्युले लगेपछी सबैले बिर्सिन्छन्
बिस्तारै हाम्रो अस्तित्व हराउँदै जान्छ।  

हामीलाई हाम्रो त्यो बुढो शरीर 
हाम्रो त्यो पुरानो सोचाई
हाम्रो त्यो पुराना कुराहरू बोलेको देखेर
सबैले बुढो भनेर बोलाउँछन् होला ।  

मृत्युको पनि आफ्नै 
र जन्मको पनि आफ्नै चक्र त हाे 
मनिसको जीवन यति नै हो नि, हैन र ? 
कसलाई चाहिँ मर्न मन लाग्छ र ?

तर अन्ततः जीवनको उद्देश्य मृत्यु नै होला
तर, अब बुझेपछि मलाई बुढेसकालदेखि डर लाग्दैन 
बुढेसकालको पनि आफ्नै आनन्द त होला नि 
बुढेसकालको पनि आफ्नै आनन्द त होला नि

An unexpected yet the best friendship...
- Sunabi Pokharel - 25018, Grad ... 24 November, 2022

If you had asked me three years ago whether I would be friends with my current best friend, my answer would have straight up been a huge no. But right now, she is my biggest partner in crime and the bestest friend I could have ever asked for. Nothing compares to the bond I share with her. A few years back, we both despised each other so much to the point that we started to hate each other. Tons of jealousy, backbiting, and acting fake all the time. There were no chances of us becoming friends let alone being best friends.

When the lockdown started due to the pandemic and we started studying online, I was really glad as I did not have to face her every day. As we were in two different sections, there was no chance of us meeting each other even during online classes. Nearly a year had passed without her and me communicating. The only time when we interacted without any jealousy or hate was in the final term of 8th grade. We started playing and talking with each other. That was the time when we started bonding a little bit. The major thing that led me and her to become the bestest of friends was the time when school was off for 5 days because of pollution. During those 5 days, we spent more than 9 hours on video calls and talked about random stuff for hours. We didn’t get bored of each other. School again opened, 8th grade ended, and again online classes for grade 9 started. This time sections weren’t divided. I was really glad to be in the same section as her, and I started enjoying her company a lot. Every day after the class had ended, she and I used to stay on call until midnight. I still do remember getting scolded by my parents for talking with her the whole day. After school had begun, we started hanging out together and making loads of memories. From sharing secrets to sharing food, we enjoyed the time with each other. We had sleepovers at each other’s house and bonded with each other’s families as well. We also tried various new foods that we had never eaten before and went to visit many places together. We stayed up until midnight cooking pizza from scratch and watching movies.

She has been with me through thick and thin and has always been there when I have to vent out or share anything. She has cried for me, laughed with me, and stood up for me. In between, I lost many friends and gained new ones but she will always be the friend with whom I have enjoyed my time the most. For me, she is not just a best friend, she is a sister whom I never had. A partner in crime, a twin, and most importantly the one who has always been there for me. I hope that our friendship will never die and we will remain best buddies forever.

‘ बाकसकाे याद ’
- Rushina Tamang - 26008, Grade ... 24 November, 2022

ठुलाे बाकस थियाे मसित 
सेताे थियाे छाना र पहेँलाे थियाे भित्ता
सानाे देखिएला बाकस अरूलाई
तर त्याे बाकस थियाे मेराे संसार 
          बाहिर हेर्ने  झ्याल र  निस्किने ढाेका 
त्यही झ्याल बाहिर हेरेर साेच्थेँ
याे बाकस लिएर 
त्याे ढाेका भएर बाहिर जान कहिले पाइएला ?

मेराे घर, मन्दिर र स्कुल हाे मेराे बाकस
मलाई आफूबाट र अरूबाट पनि जाेगाउँछ 
          भाइबहिनीहरूलाई देख्छु झाेला बाेकेर हिँडेकाे 
स्कुल जान मात्र हाेइन पाउन साथी मन मिलेकाे

आमा र बुबा पनि अर्कै अर्कै लाग्छन्
ती आमाबुबा नै हाेइनन्, अझ पटक्कै हाेइनन्
न दिनकाे सूर्य हेर्न दिन्छन् न रातकाे जुन
बाकसमा नि सधैँ बस्न अत्यास लागिरहन्छ, 
बाहिर के हाे ? भित्र के हाे ? रात के हाे ? दिन के हाे ?
राक्षसहरूले मलाई राक्षस जसरी राख्छन्
कहिले खजाना जसरी राख्छन्,
कहिले कामदार जसरी राख्छन्,
कहिले कैदी जसरी राख्छन्,

जाँदैछु,बाकसलाई छाेडेर र बाकसलाई बाेकेर पर………
यी राक्षसहरूकाे बन्धनबाट मुक्त भइन्छ भने 
लाइदिन्छु म निधारदेखि सिउँदाेमा पर्ने सिँदुर

म बाहिर जान खाेज्दै थिएँ तर नयाँ बाकसभित्र हुल्याे 
नयाँ बाकसका मालिक झन् क्रुर थिए  
स्वभाव नै राक्षसी थियाे,
कैदी बनाएर कुटपिट पनि गर्थे
अहाे !! धेरै समयपछि 
मलाई मेराे पुरानाे बाकसकाे याद आयाे । 
मलाई मेराे पुरानाे बाकसकाे याद आयाे ।

बाबाको जन्मथलाे
- Sunabi Pokharel - 25018, Grad ... 23 November, 2022

२०७८ साल फाल्गुण १३ गते  मैले आफ्नो अभिभावकसँग बाबाको जन्मघर खोटाङको खार्पा गाउँपलिका जाने निर्णय गरेँ । बाबाको जन्मघरमा परिवारका सबै सदस्यहरू गइसक्नु भएको र म मात्र जान बाँकी रहेको थियो । त्यसैले म अघिल्लो रातदेखि नै त्यो ठाउँलगायत बाटाघाटामा केकस्ता स्थानहरू रहेका होलान् भनि सोचमग्न थिएँ । मनमा कुरा खेल्दाखेल्दै अबेर मात्र निदाउन सकेँ । बिहान हामी सामान्य खाजा खाएर यात्रामा निस्कियौँ ।

हामी घरबाट हिँड्दा बिहानकाे करिब साढे ७ बजेको थियो । मलाई काभ्रेको धुलिखेलसम्म बारम्बार गइरहने भएकाले खासै नयाँ कुरा अनुभव भएन । त्यहाँबाट बाटो लागेपछि हरियाली जङ्गल, सफा हावा, नेपालथोकको पुल, सललल बगिरहेको सुनकोशी नदीको रमाइलो दृश्यवलोकन गर्दै र बाटामा ती स्थानहरूको फोटो खिच्दै गन्तव्यतर्फ अघि बढ्यौँ । करिब २ बजेतिर सुनकोशीको तिरमा बसी आमाले प्रेमपूर्वक बनाएको ढकने र आलुको तरकारी खाँदाको मज्जा मेरो जीवनको सबैभन्दा अविस्मरणीय क्षण बन्यो । बगरकाे ढुङ्गामा बसेर सफा नदीको पानीमा खुट्टा चोपल्दै र नदीको कलकल आवाज सुन्दै आधा घण्टा त्यहाँं व्यतित गऱ्यौँ । खाजा खाएर फर्किँदा त्यहाँ ठुलो वरको रूखमा पिङ्ग जस्ता लामालामा लहरा झुन्डिरहेको देखेर मेरो बाबाले हातले त्यो लहरा समाएर माथिदेखि तलसम्म सररर हुँई गर्दै पिङ्ग खेल्नुभयो । बाबाले त्यस्तो रमाइलो गरी खेलेको देखेर मलाई पनि खेलौँ खेलौँ लाग्यो तर डरले खेल्न सकिन ।

त्यसको करिब दुई घण्टापछि हामी जयराम घाट पार गरी बाबाको जन्मजिल्ला खोटाङ प्रवेश  गऱ्यौँ । जिल्ला प्रवेश गरेको करिब एक घण्टाको उकालो पार गरेपछि पवित्र तिर्थस्थल हलेसी महादेवस्थान पुगिदो रहेछ । उक्त धार्मिकस्थललाई पूर्वको पशुपति पनि भनिदो रहेछ । हलेसी महादेवस्थानमा पापद्वार, धर्मद्वार, शिवलिङ्ग, पार्वती गुफा, बसाहाथान, शङ्ख फुक्ने प्वाल जस्ता अनगिन्ती र अलौकिक स्थानहरूको दर्शन गर्न पाउँदा आफूलाई भाग्यमानी ठानेँ । यो स्थानको वर्णन जति गरे पनि अपुरै हुने ठानेकी छु । हलेसीको उत्पत्तिको कथा हजुरबुबाबाट सुन्दै हामी त्यहाँबाट करिब ५ बजे खार्पातर्फ प्रस्थान गऱ्यौँ । हामी खार्पाको शिर जसलाई मौरे भनिदो रहेछ ।  त्यहाँ पुग्दा झमक्क  रात  परिसकेको थियो ।

त्यहाँबाट करिब १ घण्टा पैदल यात्रा गरेपछि मात्र हामी बाबाको जन्मघर पुग्ने रहेछौँ । अनकन्टार जङ्गलको बाटो, अँधेरी रात, कसरी पुग्ने भनि हामी विलखबन्दमा पऱ्यौँ । बास बसौँ भने पनि उपयुक्त स्थान नभएको र जसरी पनि गाउँमा नै पुग्नुपर्ने भएकोले हामी आआफ्नो मोबाइलको बत्ती प्रयोग गर्दै गाउँतर्फ अघि बढी रातको ८ बजे हामी खार्पा गाउँपालिका पुगी एउटा नातेदारको घरमा बास बस्यौँ । भोलिपल्ट बिहानै ६ बजे भैँसीको शुद्ध दुधको चिया पिएर बाबाको जन्मघरतर्फ लाग्यौँ । साँघुरो र ओरालै ओरालो बाटो हिँड्दा म पटकपटक लडेकी थिएँ ।

बाबाले मलाई नभनिकन स्थानीय फूल र पानीअमलाको बुकी बनाएर हातमा लिइरहनु भएको रहेछ । घरतर्फ लाग्ने बाटामा पुगेपछि मलाई स्वागतार्थ बाबाले उक्त बुकी हातमा दिएर "ल है छोरी, स्वागत छ, यही हो हाम्रो घर ।" भनेको क्षण मेरो जीवनको दोश्रो अविस्मरणीय क्षण बन्यो । घर वरिपरि रहेका सुन्तला, आँप, निबुवा, लिच्चीलगायतका थुप्रै फलफूलहरूका रुखहरू देखेर म त दङ्ग नै परेँ । त्यहाँ पुगेपछि हाम्रो जग्गा कति हो ? भनेर मैले प्रश्न गरेँ । प्रतिउत्तरमा तिम्रो आँखाले देखेजति सबै हाम्रै हो भन्ने उत्तर पाउँदा म अवाक् नै बनेँ । मेरो सोचमा त सहरको भन्दा अलिकति बढी जग्गा होला र थोरै खेतबारी होला, त्यहाँ अलिअलि सागसब्जी होलान् भन्ने थियो तर गाउँमा सबैका धेरै नै जग्गाजमिन हुँदा रहेछन् । दशबिस बोट फलफूल नहुने त कमै हुँदा रहेछन् । मेरो सोचाइ त बिल्कुल गलत हुन पो पुग्यो ।

गाउँ पुगेपछि हामी त्यहाँ डुल्न थाल्यौँ । आफन्तजनहरूको घरमा भेटघाट गर्दै जाँदा मैले ढिकी कुटेँ, जाँतोले अन्न पिधेँ, मदानीले  मोही  पारेँ  अनि त्यही मोही खाएँ पनि । त्यति मात्र नभएर त्यहाँ त रावा खोला नामक एउटा ठुलो खोला रहेछ र मैले त्यो खोलाको ताजाताजा माछा खाने मौका पाएँ । त्यहाँ बस्ने अवधिभरिमा मैले गाउँमा पालेका स्थानीय कुखुराको मासुकाे झाेल, बोइलर कुखुराको तारेका मासु, माछाको झाेल र बँदेलको मासु खाएकी थिएँ । त्यहाँको माछामासुको त भिन्नै स्वाद थियो नै तर चामल, दाल र आलुको त अझै फरक स्वाद थियो । सहरमा पो खानेकुरा किन्दा रासायनिक विषादी मिसाइएको हुन्थ्यो । गाउँमा त आफ्नै बारीमा उमारेको धानको नै चामल र आलु खाँदा त स्वर्गमा नै पुगेको अनुभूति भयो ।

सबैले तिमी को हौ ? भनेर मलाई सोध्नुभयाे । फलानोकी छोरी भनेपछि सबैले माया गर्नुभयो, चासो दिँदै थुप्रै प्रश्नहरू सोध्नुभयो । आफ्नै छोराछोरी जस्तै प्रेम गर्नुभयो । केही नखाई त हिँड्नै हुँदैन भन्नुभयो । हाम्रैमा बस्नुपर्छ है भनेर धेरैले भन्नुभयो । यी सबै कुरा देखेर मलाई सहरभन्दा त गाउँ पो बढी मनपर्यो । अनि मनमा कुराहरू खेल्न थाले । किन मान्छेहरू गाउँ छाडेर सहर जान्छन् ? 

करिब ७ दिनको बसाइपछि मैले त्यहाँ जम्मा तीन कुराको अभाव महसुस गरेँ । पहिलो, राम्रो शिक्षाको अवसर रहेनछ, दोस्रो, बिरामी हुँदा राम्रो उपचार गर्ने स्वास्थ्यसेवाको अभाव रहेछ र तेस्रो बाटोघाटोको सुविधा रहेनछ । यी तीन कुराको अभावमा रोजगारका अवसरहरू पनि हुँदा रहेनछन् । त्यही भएर मात्र मानिसहरू सहर जाँदा रहेछन् भन्ने निष्कर्षमा म पुगेँ । नत्र त मैले त्यहाँ बिताएको समय अहिले पनि सम्झिदा गाउँ त सहरभन्दा निकै नै धनी रहेछ भन्ने महसुस हुन्छ । पौडी खेल्न पाैडीपाेखरी नगई र पैसा नतिरिकन खोलामा निःशुल्क पौडी खेल्न पाउने, सहर जस्तो पैसा तिरेर तरकारी र फलफूल किन्न नपर्ने, सबैको टन्नै जग्गा हुने र सोही जग्गामा उब्जाई पनि राम्रो र शुद्ध हुने, सबै गाउँलेले सबै गाउँलेलाई चिन्ने र माया गर्ने जस्तो कुरा देख्दा त गाउँमा नै बसिरहौँ जस्तो पो लाग्यो । मेरो गाउँ अहिले विकसित नहुँदा त त्यस्तो राम्रो छ विकासको मूल फुट्यो भने कति राम्रो हुन्छ होला भन्ने सोच मेरो मनमा सदाबहार खेलिरहन्छ ।

Are Heroes or Villains More Interesting?
- Aayusi Shrestha - 26002, Grad ... 23 November, 2022

I have to say that villains are far more interesting than heroes. In fact, many people agree that villains have more interesting characteristics than most heroes do. We've all experienced some depressing and dark times in our lives. The difference is that we dealt with those dark experiences and moved on, whereas the villains were so deeply affected that they simply didn't want to go back to their old ways. I used to love superheroes and despise villains as a child, but as I grew older, I began to love and understand villains more.

Most heroes share the same goal: to save the world. Heroes' characters and motives are boring, and they only win because of plot armor. Villains, in my opinion, are more mature and realistic. I'm sick of the golden, all-around good guy hero trope. How can anyone be that perfect? Villains have a reason for being evil, and it's much more interesting to watch the decisions they make as a result. They're also not completely unrealistic. Technically, in most of the movies we watch, we can see that something caused the villains to become evil. They either had traumatic experiences or wanted revenge. We can not really blame them because, to be honest, we would perhaps do the same thing.

People prefer villains to heroes because they are more unpredictable. If it were a hero, the hero would be expected to do the right thing. Heroes are supposed to be friendly and helpful. But villains can choose what they want to be warm and caring about and what they want to be evil and cruel about. In some cases, the villains are unexpected and do things that we do not expect, which increases our interest in their character. Villains fascinate me, possibly because they are relatable and not the type of perfectionist that everyone admires.

People who like heroes are generally optimistic, but let's face it, the world isn't exactly great. We must accept that villains are more interesting than heroes, even if the villain is extremely cruel or cold-hearted they can still be pretty interesting. I am confident that the majority of us would enjoy watching a film in which the main character is a villain. That would be interesting because a lot of movies we watch are from the perspective of the hero, so we can't really judge a character. Let's take an example of an anime called ‘One piece’ the main character Luffy is a pirate and is a villain in the world he is in but he has done better works and saved more people than the government did. So how can we consider him a bad guy? We can not just because the world portrays him like that. Also let me remind you that not all villains are “bad guys”. Another example is of a character named Shigaraki from my hero academia. His character had depth even if was a villain. His character was way more interesting than the main character ‘Deku’.

Don't take it personally. We adore villains and prefer them to heroes. That's all there is to it. We don't approve of abusive relationships or prefer jerks just because we like their character. Those who are fans of heroes, let me remind you that they are not particularly 'good.' Even if they did something good, they have also done a lot of bad things, so we can't really blame just the villains. Even the cruelest character can be well written, and the majority of the villains are well written and fascinating. We can't just say that heroes are better than villains just because they are perfectionists who save the world, can we?

Dream About Wrong Path
- Smriti Lama - 25015, Grade X ... 22 November, 2022

The two girls studying in grade 10 were best friends. They have been friends since they were born . They do not call themselves besties but they say that they’re sisters from different mothers. One of the girl’s names is Aashika and another’s name is Purnima. They both live in the same village named Bhotechaur. They are so close to each other that they are studying in the same school and also planned to study in the same college after their SEE. Their family also knows each other and are very close. Their house is also near each other’s house.  Their parents trust the other one more than their daughter.

Both of the girls are preparing for their exams and it was all going well in their life. They used to say that they both will go to the same college to study together. Their parents also agreed to both of them. They are from middle class families so their parents are working very hard to earn money for their children’s education. Their parents know that it’s their dream to go to the city and study for their further education. The girls also worked very hard to make their Academics better and get scholarships. And as the time passes, their exam’s over and waiting for their results. They both gets  A+ and both the families are also satisfied with their results. Now the time has come for their further studies. They have already given an online entrance exam in a good college. Their parents are a little sad that they are going far from the village but also happy for their children’s future. They both start packing their stuff and are very excited to go to the city for the first time. They are so happy because their dream is going to come true. And like this, they arrive in Kathmandu and start searching for the rent. Until then they are staying at the hotel. After 2 days, they find a flat which is suitable for them and start living there together. They have college from tomorrow and they are excited for it. As they promised their parents about studying well and getting better marks, they are doing the same. They made new friends and some of their friends are even the daughters of owners. They all started to live together in the same flat sharing their rooms. One day their new friends ask them to go outside and hangout together. They decided to go clubbing. Both of the girls are unknown about these things. Their friends request them to and finally they also agree to go with them. They went there and danced in a group and met new friends. The girls were all drunk except the two of them. They were handling other girls and it was hard for them. But they really had fun there.

Like this, they started to go clubbing every month and every week. The girls from the village are also becoming like other girls and they are not aware of those things. Slowly their studies are going down and the communication between them and their family is also getting rare. Whenever they are fresh and in a good state of mind, they think of their family but when it’s time for night they can’t stop themselves from going to clubs and spending their money on drinks. But after their first semester results, they realize their mistakes. They start regretting going to clubs and bars. And from that day they promised each other not to go clubbing. But instead they will go for a hike, picnic etc in their vacation.

Should There Be Harsher Punishments For Cybercrimes?
- Sauharda Bajracharya - 26010, ... 18 November, 2022

Cybercrime refers to a criminal activity that involves a computer and a network. With the spread of the internet in the past few years, cybercrimes are increasing as well. Cybercrime can hurt one's security along with their financial health. As the technology used by criminals is constantly evolving, the efforts made by companies are often in vain. Technology has evolved to such an extent that human minds are using it to perform crimes without getting recognized. In a country like Nepal where the internet is reasonably new, the laws for cybercrimes are lenient. One can get a fine of two thousand rupees to five lakhs or imprisonment for 3 years depending on the crime. It is not that cybercrime is not prevalent in Nepal, it certainly is. In fact, there has been a measurable increase in cybercrimes in Nepal over the past few years.

Cybercrime not only includes hacking, but spamming, phishing, doxxing and much more. There are a number of hackers who offer their services and malicious software in the dark web. People can buy and use these services and malicious software from anywhere around the world with the help of VPN (Virtual Private Network). With this, one can hack another without getting their location revealed. VPNs are easily available on the internet for free and anyone can do such malicious activities. However, there are cyber bureaus that operate and punish such law breakers. Despite that,  people can get away with doing cyber crimes by paying such a small amount of money. It is about someone’s life they have publicized. Leaking someone’s private information or taking away someone’s wealth should have much harsher punishments. If you look at the United States of America, they have much harsher punishments for cybercrimes. Anyone convicted of cybercrime may face up to five years to twenty years in prison depending on the crime. Our country should implement such punishments in order to prevent cybercrimes. Perpetrators of cybercrime usually target aged people as they have less knowledge about the internet and web. Hence, people should be made aware of such cybercrimes and how to be safe from them.

There are many cybercrimes circulating around the world, phishing, identity theft, fraud and DDoS attacks being the most popular. I too have been a victim of such attacks. A few months back, I was in a game and one of the players from the other team crashed the server with a DDoS attack. There was nothing any player in the lobby could do other than leave the game. Such malicious attacks are usually done to take revenge or blackmail. In order to protect ourselves from such attacks, we need to use VPN and we should not share our passwords with others. We should not click on malicious links or visit malicious websites or even a random link. If someone manages to hack or put malicious software in our computer, we should immediately report it to the cyber bureau. As more people are on the internet, there is a high risk of people being a victim of cybercrimes. In conclusion, our country must implement harsh punishments on the lawbreakers.

प्रविधि: नकारात्मक कि सकारात्मक ?
- Sunabi Pokharel - 25018, Grad ... 18 November, 2022

इन्टरनेट, मोबाइल फोन, टेलिभिजन, कम्प्युटरलगायत अन्य थुप्रै सामग्रीको समावेशलाई हामी प्रविधि भन्छौँ । जसकाे सकारात्मक प्रयाेगले मानव जीवनलाई सहजताकाे अनुभूति प्रदान गरेकाे हुन्छ । प्रविधिले ज्ञान र सूचनाको विस्तृत र तत्काल जानकारी प्रदान गरेको तथ्यलाई पनि हामी नकार्न सक्दैनौँ । यसलाई राम्रो तथा जीवन सारथीका रूपमा लिएर हेर्ने हो भने प्रविधिबाट हामीले साँच्चै नै धेरै फाइदा पाइरहेका छौँ तर यसले हामीलाई कति अल्छी र एकाेहाेराे बनाइरहेको छ भनेर हामीले कहिल्यै सोचेका छौँ त ? भनिन्छ कि, प्रविधिले यन्त्रहरूमा निर्भरता सिर्जना गरेर हाम्रो संसारलाई एउटा सानो कोठा जस्तै साँघुरो बनाउँछ । थुप्रै सामाजिक सञ्जालमार्फत मन र मस्तिष्कलाई विचलित पारेर हाम्रो सिर्जनात्मक क्षमताहरूलाई कमजोर बनाउँदै जान्छ । म विश्वास गर्छु कि, हामी मध्ये धेरैले याद गरेका छौँ कि, हाम्रो विश्लेषणात्मक सिप आजका दिनहरूमा घट्दै आएको छ । यो किन होला त ? किनभने धेरै जसो प्रश्नका उत्तरहरू पहिले नै इन्टरनेटमा विस्तृत रूपमा उल्लेख गरिएका छन् । हामी आफूलाई ती उत्तरहरूको पर्यायवाची शब्दहरू प्रयोग गरेर केही शब्दहरू परिवर्तन गरेर जवाफहरू प्रतिलिपी गर्नबाट रोक्न सक्दैनौँ । 
प्रविधिको अत्याधिक प्रयोगका कारण मानिसहरूले एप र वेबसाइटहरू यति धेरै प्रयोग गर्न थालेका छन् कि केही मिनेटकाे खाली समय हास् वा काम नै गरिरहेको बेला भए पनि तिनीहरूले आफ्नो मोबाइल फोन वा कम्प्युटरको प्रयोग गरी नै राख्छन् । यसले हाम्रो रचनात्मक क्षमतालाई नास गरिरहेको छ र हाम्रो सिपहरू लोप हुँदै गैरहेको छ । आजकाे डिजिटल मिडियाले हाम्रो ध्यान जताततै छरिदिएको छ र हामी केवल एउटै गतिविधिमा ध्यान केन्द्रित गर्न नसक्ने भएका छौँ । हाम्रो मानव मस्तिष्क वास्तवमा थुप्रै कुरासँगै गर्न मिल्ने गरी बनेको छैन तर हामी जतिबेला पनि बहुकार्य गर्न खाेज्छाैँ । के तपाईं हामी सबैले याद गरेका छाैँ ?  जब हामी आफ्नाे गृहकार्य गर्न वा केही अध्ययन गर्न बस्छौँ तब हामी त्यसमा पूर्णतया केन्द्रित हुन सक्दैनौँ । यो किन भएको हो भने हाम्राे दिमाग हाम्रा साथीहरूले पठाएका सूचना वा हामीले केही मिनेटअघि इन्टरनेटमा फेला पारेको समाचारमा जान्छ । हामी भन्छौँ कि इन्टरनेट र प्रविधिले हाम्रो विशाल संसारलाई एउटा टेबलकाे संसारमा परिणत गरेको छ। एउटा काेठामा ल्याएर थन्क्याएकाे छ ।  तर, के तपाईंले कहिल्यै सोच्नुभएको छ कि सानो काेठा वास्तवमा राम्रो छ कि छैन ?  हामी आजको दिनमा प्रविधिसँग जोडिरहेका छौं तर मान्छेसँग होइन, समाजसँग हाेइन, परिवारसँग हाेइन । हाम्रो सामाजिक जीवनमा सकारात्मक परिवर्तन ल्याउन र मान्छेसँग चिनजान बढाउनुको सट्टा यसले हाम्रो संसारलाई एउटा सानो कोठामा कैद हुन बाध्य बनाएको छ ।
हामी प्रविधिको प्रयोगमा यति डुबेका छौँ कि हामी हाम्रो सामाजिक जीवनमा कति तल छौँ भन्ने कुराको वास्ता गर्दैनौँ । जिउँदाको जन्ती र मर्दाको मलामी भनेर मानिने छिमेकीलाई समेत हामीले चिनेका छैनौँ र चिन्न छाेड्दै छाैँ । हामीले बिर्सेका छौँ कि वास्तविक जीवनमा हामीसँग अन्तरक्रिया गर्ने व्यक्तिहरू पनि हुन्छन् । प्रविधिको प्रयोग गरेर हामी वास्तवमै उन्नत हुँदैछौँ कि अन्य व्यक्तिहरूले घाेडाकाे लगाम जस्तै गरी बनाएका निर्धारित मार्गलाई नसोचिकन पछ्याउँदै छौं ? मोबाइल फोनबाट पठाइएको घण्टीलाई प्रतिरोध गर्न सक्ने मानिसहरू कम नै हुन्छन् । यो हाम्रो लागि लत बन्न पुगेको छ । प्रविधि हामी मान्छेको लागि एक लागुपदार्थको काम गर्दै छ । यसले हामीलाई अघि बढ्न धेरै गाह्रो बनाउँदै छ । पहिले मानिसहरूले आफ्नो दिमागमा नै जटिल समस्याको समाधान गर्थे । त्यो एकदमै उत्कृष्ट थियो तर अहिले भने हामीले क्याल्कुलेटरहरूको यति धेरै प्रयोग गर्न थालेका छौँ कि हामीले ६ मा ६ जोड्दा के वास्तवमा नै १२ आउँछ भनेर खोज्नुपर्छ अर्थात् आत्मविश्वास हराउँदै गएकाे छ । हामीलाई हे गुगल  ! यस प्रश्नको उत्तर भन भन्न धेरै सजिलो लाग्छ तर यो प्रश्नको सही जवाफ लेख्न वास्तवमा ठुलो सोच्ने र व्याख्या गर्ने सिप चाहिन्छ जुन सिप प्रविधिले प्रस्फुटन हुन दिएको छैन ।
अतः हामी एक सचेत नागरिक भएकाले के राम्राे के नराम्राे सही तरिकाले मल्याङ्कन गरी आजकाे प्रविधिसँग जाेडिनु अत्यावश्यक हुन्छ । हामीले हामीलाई मात्र नसाेची भावी पिँढीलाई पनि कस्ताे प्रभाव पर्छ र पार्छ भन्ने कुराकाे हेक्का राखी समुचित ढङ्गले प्रविधिकाे प्रयाेग गर्नुपर्छ ।

The Woods
- Prakarsha Tabdar - 25010, Gra ... 17 November, 2022

Once upon a time there was a poor family and they used to live in a small cottage which used to leak during the monsoon. The family consisted of a mother, father and their 10 year old child. Despite being poor they were a happy family. The father used to work extremely hard so they could leave the small cottage behind and live in a house which did not leak in the monsoon. Fortunately, after some time they found a house in the middle of the woods. It was old and abandoned. They moved in as soon as possible, just being away from a leaking house seemed to make them happy. They were happy for a while in the house until one day the father heard a few people talking about how the house was haunted and how people claimed to hear a girl crying for help. Many people also warned them not to stay there and move out as soon as possible. However they preferred living there rather than in a leaky house.

Curious, the mother asked around and found out that the house was owned by a rich family. A happy family which also consisted of 3 family members, a mother, father and their 10 year old child. The father was a successful businessperson and the mother was a very famous and successful model so they never had a problem with money. But they really didn't have time for their daughter and they always used to hire a babysitter and go out. The poor daughter never got any attention from any of her parents. As time went on the father’s business started declining. He was so frustrated by seeing his business going in a  loss that he started to drink and eventually became an alcoholic. His wife did not take up many jobs to help her husband and she always tried to stop him from drinking but he didn't listen to his wife and started drinking even more. But it was all in vain. Nothing worked. The father’s frustration became so unbearable that he started to become abusive; he began hitting his wife.

After seeing how abusive her husband had become, the wife decided that he had no future now and divorced him. The divorce made him more furious. The wife was still young and beautiful so she thought that she would marry another man and start fresh, hence she didn't bother taking their daughter with her and left her with his alcoholic father. Now that the wife had gone he started to beat his daughter. The daughter was innocent and didn't know what to do so she started to hide from her father. One day the father was so drunk that he grabbed a knife and stabbed his daughter in a fit of rage just because the daughter said that she missed her mother. The father cooled down but realized what he had done and ran away. The innocent girl’s soul was never at peace for she missed her mother and she was a victim of her father’s undeserved rage and she cried every night……

The story startled the mother but they were determined to live there and hoped to make peace with the girl’s soul.
