आजको आधुनिक संसारमा हामीले देख्ने सबै कुरा विज्ञान तथा प्रविधिसँग जाेडिएर आउँछ । साना साना कुराहरूदेखि ठुला ठुला कुराहरूसम्म ।  प्रविधि भनेको हामी मानवले गरेको नयाँ आविष्कार हो,जाे मानव जीवनका हरेक क्रियाकलापसँग सम्बन्ध राख्दछ ।  प्रविधिको मद्दतले हाम्रो कामलाई छिटो र सजिलो बनाउँछ। प्रविधि भनेको मानव जीवनको व्यावहारिक उद्देश्यहरूमा वैज्ञानिक ज्ञानको प्रयोग हो। मानिसका लागि टेलिभिजन, इन्टरनेट, सेलफोन, कम्प्युटर आदि प्रविधिगत साधनहरू आजकाे समयसँग जिउन अनिवार्य बनेका छन् । प्रविधिले विकासमा पनि धेरै सहयोग गरेको छ। भएको विकास, भइरहेको विकास र भविष्यमा हुने विकास सबै प्रविधिको सहयोगले सहज हुन्छ । यो आधुनिक युगमा बिना प्रविधि केही सम्भव छैन। आजकल शिक्षामा पनि प्रविधिको सहायताले काम भइरहेको छ । यदि हामीले अघिल्लो पुस्तालाई हाम्रो पुस्तासँग तुलना गर्ने हो भने हाम्रो पुस्ता धेरै भाग्यमानी छ कि हामीसँग प्रविधिको मद्दतले डाटा र सूचनामा पहुँच छ। हामी अंग्रेजीमा प्रविधिलाई  टेक्नोलोजी भन्न सक्छौं। प्रविधि नभएको भए अहिलेको तुलनामा हामी कति कम विकसित हुने थियौं भन्ने कल्पना पनि गर्न सक्दैनौं । आजको संसारमा प्रविधि सबैभन्दा महत्त्वपूर्ण कुरा हो । स्रोतहरूसँगकाे पहुँचमा वृद्धि गर्न र सञ्चार, यातायात, शिक्षा, उत्पादन, कलाकृतिहररूको निर्माण, डाटा सुरक्षा, र व्यवसाय वृद्धिमा  प्रविधिकाे प्रयोग गरिन्छ।

प्रविधिलाई सकारात्मक तथा नकारात्मक दुवै तरिकाले प्रयोग गर्ने गरिन्छ । विभिन्न  खोज, अध्ययन, अनुसन्धान, सूचना तथा जानकारी जस्ता विविध कुराहरूकाे पूर्णताकाे लागि प्रविधिको प्रयोग गर्न सकिन्छ। मलाई लाग्छ कि प्रविधि अत्याश्यक छ किनकि यसले हामीलाई हाम्रो दैनिक जीवनमा धेरै मद्दत गर्दछ। प्रविधिले हाम्रो जीवनलाई सहज र प्रभावकारी बनाएको छ। मानिसले यही विज्ञान प्रविधिकाे प्रयाेग गरेर नै धेरै सिर्जना गरे र अहिले हाम्रो जीवनको लगभग हरेक पक्षमा प्रविधिकाे प्रयोग हुन्छ । सवारी साधन चलाउनेदेखि विभिन्न अनेकाैँ उपकरण प्रयोग गर्ने सबै कुरा प्रविधिबाट बनेको छ। तर हरेक राम्रो कुरासँग एक नराम्रो कुरा पनि हुन्छ । यसकाे प्रयाेगले कसैलाई फाइदा र कसैलाई बेफाइदा हुन्छ । प्रविधिकाे प्रयाेगले नै ठुला ठुला युद्धहरू भएका छन् । जसले गर्दा सर्वसाधारणकाे जीवनमा तहसनहसकाे अवस्था सिर्जना भएकाे छ ।  त्यस्तै गरी यसकाे दुरुपयाेगले गर्दा व्यक्तिगत तथा सामाजिक जीवनमा पनि विकराल समस्या निम्त्याएकाे छ र त्यसैले प्रविधिकाे सदुपयाेग गरी अगाडि बढ्नु नै सबैका लागि लाभदायक हुन्छ ।

प्रविधिकाे सही सदुपयाेगले शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य, व्यवसायिक, उद्याेग कलकारखाना, प्रशासनिक जस्ता विविध क्षेत्रहरूमा ठुलाे सहयाेग पुग्छ । मलाई लाग्छ सबभन्दा बढी त विद्यार्थीहरुको लागि धेरै लाभदायक देखिएको छ किन भने प्रविधिले विद्यार्थीहरूलाई ज्ञान, सिप र दक्षता प्राप्तिका साथसाथै आफूले सिकेका कुराहरूलाई व्यवहारमा उतार्ने रमाइलो अवसरहरू प्रदान गर्दछ। आजकाे समयमा अधिकतम विद्यार्थीहरूसँग प्रविधिको आधारभूत ज्ञान हुन्छ त्यसैले प्रविधि प्रयोग गर्न सजिलो छ । जसले गर्दा उनीहरूलाई नयाँ नयाँ कुराकाे अध्ययन अनुसन्धान गर्न सजिलाे बनेकाे छ । प्रविधिकाे कारणले नै आज मैले याे लेख तयार पार्न सकेँ भने तपाईंले पनि प्रविधिकाे प्रयाेग गरेर नै पढिरहनु भएको छ । अत : आजकाे समयमा जीवनलाई सहज तरिकाले चलाउनको लागि प्रविधिकाे सकारात्मक प्रयाेग गराैँ ।

I don't know what's going on with me, but I know something is wrong, but I can't find what it is. I was not like that. I was the type of girl who was preoccupied with her own thoughts. Nowadays, I hear many bad things about myself. And I would like to think about others before, but nowadays I am not like that anymore. I don't care what others think about me; nothing matters to me. It only matters how I am for myself and I am perfect for myself. And that is what people call attitude, but I call it self-respect. I heard that I was the reason behind something, that I was someone's bully. I don't know what I have done to them, but if I have done something wrong, I'm sorry. Nowadays, I only care about myself. I think about myself. I give time to myself. I am finding myself nowadays. Nothing will happen by thinking about others. Thinking about myself can change me. I stopped caring about others because I didn't have time to care for myself. What would I do by caring for others? I stopped thinking about others. I don't give a damn what other people think of me. I also stopped making others happy. I was not happy with myself. How could I make others happy? I learned that we can't always make someone happy because after we stop doing something for them, we automatically start to feel bad for them. If you can do it for yourself, I am changing myself day by day. I am learning to be happy with myself and I don't have any regrets about my past. If someone says something bad about me, I don't feel bad or I don't care about them because I know I am right in my own way. I stopped believing in others. I have many trust issues. I used to share my problems with everyone, but I stopped sharing my problems because no one could feel my problems. They tell me that you are the "lady boss." How can it happen to you? I know you are joking, but they used to tell me that, and I felt really bad. I used to share my problems with them, hoping I could get some solutions, but I always felt alone with their answers. Nowadays, I usually keep each and every problem to myself because I want to find the solution to my problems by myself. I am happy that I am changing myself because I can now learn that I should love myself more than others because no one is more important than myself. I am slowly learning and evolving, and I hope better things are in store for me.
 

By now, I believe most people know what mental health is. If not, mental health is known as your mental well-being, same as your physical health but associated with your mind. What I have realized is that most kids tend to have bad mental health due to certain conditions or parenting. It’s not necessary that everyone has a parent but absent parent figures can do a lot with having bad mental health. The person in this situation might grow up and want attention or be an attention seeker due to not getting love from anyone (their parents mostly) but in another scenario it could be that they grow up not wanting affection at all since they’re not used to it.

Due to the technology taking over this century teens have access to social media which is both a good and bad place for them. Even though bad things like cyberbullying and stalking exist on social media there's also the good part of it, for example : safe venting places, online friends, knowledge about a specific area of things and help services. I believe that because of the quarantine most of the teenagers are involved with social media which could have affected their mental health in both wrong and right ways. Teens involved with cyberbullying might’ve become more self conscious whereas the teens involved with good online friends might have regained their confidence and started to accept themselves for who they are or some teens might have started procrastination and worsened their mental health. There are endless possibilities but I can say this was a small factor that largely affected mental health for teens, maybe even adults.

Another factor could be school, now I’m not saying that the school is responsible itself but it does provide a lot of stress in the student life. Example : A student goes to school and tries their best but never gets the proper results, they come home and all they hear from their parents is study, not a proper conversation. They could be demotivated and stop trying after. Another example : A student goes to school and tries their best, gets good results and comes home to their parents  praising them. They become motivated to continue. One more, A student goes to school and gets good results but after coming home they realize their parents aren’t around because they are working. That could also be demotivating. Most teens' mental health depends on how their parents treat them and their school. School giving lots of pressure might be demotivational too. I’d say ⅓ times school is the reason “failing” students have bad mental health and stop trying. One thing I never understood, physical abuse is not okay in any way. Most people agree but physical abuse to children is “discipline”? I don’t know if I’m too young to understand it but I think physical abuse is physical abuse, even if it's to children to “teach them a lesson.” Then they aren’t studying to be a good person, they're studying to not get physically hurt.
 

नाइट्रोजन ग्याँस बिरुवाहरुको विकासको लागी सबैभन्दा आवश्यक ग्याँस मध्ये एक हो । बिरुवाहरूले आफ्नो नाइट्रोजन माटोबाट पाउँछन् ।  हामीले हाम्रो नाइट्रोजन बिरुवा वा बिरुवा खाएका जनावरहरूबाट पाउछौँ । तर, यदि हामीले वर्षैपिच्छे एउटै माटोमा खेती गर्छौँ भने, त्यस माटोमा भएको सबै नाइट्रोजन नष्ट हुन्छ । यसले बिरुवाहरूलाई राम्रोसँग बढ्न दिँदैन । यसको समाधान भनेको माटोमा नाइट्रोजन फेरि थप्नु हो । आजको युगमा हामी त्यस्तो सजिलैसँग गर्न सक्छौँ, तर हामीले सयौँ वर्षअघि त्यस्तो गर्न सक्दैन थियौँ । मानिसहरूले विगतमा खाना उब्जाउन पशुपक्षीको मलहरू प्रयोग गर्थे । मानिसहरूलाई थाह थियाे  कि यो भरपर्दो समाधान हाेइन । सन् १८९८ मा बेलायती रसायनशास्त्री विलियम क्रुक्सले आगामी ३० वर्ष भित्रमा संसारभरका मानिसहरू भोकमरीले मर्ने छन् भन्ने धारणा राखे । सुरुमा जर्ज फ्राइडरिक हिल्डेब्रान्डले सन् १८११ मा नाइट्रोजन र हाइड्रोजन मिसाएर एमोनिया ग्याँस बनाएका थिए र त्यो अरबौँ मानिसहरूलाई बचाउनको लागि पहिलो आधार थियो । सन् १९०४ मा फ्रिट्ज हाबोरले यसमा काम गर्ने निर्णय गरे र उनले एमोनिया ग्याँस र एमोनिया नाइट्रेट बनाउन नाइट्रोजन र हाइड्रोजनलाई उच्च तापक्रममा र उच्च दबाबमा राख्नुपर्छ भन्ने सिद्धान्त ल्याए । उनी एक बिजुलीको कारखानामा काम गर्नुका कारण उनलाई चाहिने सबै रसायन उनले सजिलैसँग पाए । चाँडै, जर्मनीको सबैभन्दा ठूलो रासायनिक कम्पनीले हाबोरको आविष्कार व्यापारिक पारे । चार वर्षभित्र उनीहरूले अमोनिया ग्याँस र अमोनिया नाइट्रेट उत्पादन गर्ने कारखाना बनाए । यस औद्योगिक प्रक्रियाबाट आएको मलको साथ किसानहरूले चारगुणा बढी खाद्यान्न उत्पादन गरे । यसको फलस्वरूप संसारको जनसङ्ख्या चारगुणाले बढ्यो । यस आविष्कारले हाबोरलाई धनी बनायो तर उनका नजिका मानिसहरू(परिवार, साथीहरू) उनीसँग खुसी थिएनन् । पहिलो विश्वयुद्धमा, हाबोरको आविष्कारको कारण धेरै मानिसले आफ्नो ज्यान गुमाए । हाबोर एक देशभक्त थिए र जब जर्मनीमा विस्फोटक पदार्थ र बारूदको अभाव भयो, उनले आफ्नो आविष्कार प्रयोग गरे । अमोनिया नाइट्रेट एक मल मात्र नभएर एक विस्फोटक पदार्थ पनि हो । सन् २०२० मा बेरुतमा ३००० टन अमोनिया नाइट्रेट भएको गोदाममा आगलागी भएको थियो । गर्मीको कारण यो अमोनिया नाइट्रेटमा आगलागी भएर विस्फोट भयो । यसको विस्फोटको आवाज सय किलोमिटर टाढा सुनिएको थियो र यसको कारण धेरैको ज्यान गयो र धेरै घाइते भए । जर्मनीले युद्धमा यस रसायनले बम र अन्य विस्फोटकहरू बनाए । यसले लाखौँ मानिसको ज्यान लियो । उनले युद्धमा अझ ठूलो योगदान दिए।  उनले एक घातक ग्याँस, क्लोरिन ग्याँसको खोजी गरे । युद्ध छिटो समाप्त भएमा धेरैको ज्यान बच्नेछ भन्ने उनको विचार थियो । यसै कारण उनले युद्धमा क्लोरिन ग्याँस चलाए । जब यो ग्याँस फोक्सोको सम्पर्कमा आउँछ, यसले फोक्सोलाई तरल पदार्थले भर्छ र मानिसलाई सुख्खा जमिनमा डुबाउँछ । सन् १९१५ मा हाबोरकी श्रीमती, क्लाराले हाबोरको बन्दुकले आत्महत्या गरिन् । मानिसहरू भन्छन् कि, हाबोरको रसायन विस्फोटक प्रतिको जुनूनको कारणले क्लाराले आत्महत्या गरेकी थिइन् । सन् १९३४ मा हाबोरको निधनपछि हाबोरको संस्थाले अर्को एउटा घातक रसायन बनायाे सायनाइड ग्याँस । यहि ग्याँस पछि गएर, दोस्रो विश्व युद्धमा ग्याँस च्याबरहरूमा पनि चलाइएको थियो । उनको मृत्युपछि पनि, उनले अनजान र अप्रत्यक्ष रूपमा इतिहासको सबैभन्दा ठूलो नरसंहार गर्न योगदान दिए ।

Once there was a boy whose name was Devin. He was studying in a very renowned college of the town. His parents were very proud of him because he was not from a wealthy family but because of his hardship he was able to come to this level. Devin was loved by everyone. His teachers were very proud of him. Devin’s last term example had done very nicely so everyone was proud of him. Devin was a very nice looking boy. Most of the girls in his class were crushing on him but he never looked at them. He always focused on his studies.  After his last term examination he went to live with his aunt. There he met with her aunt's children who were the same age. They too became good friends with each other. When Riyash (Aunt's child) asked him about his facebook user name. Devin became blank. He said he didn't have any accounts. Riyash started to laugh at him. After some days his father gifted him a very expensive mobile phone. He remembered how his friends enjoyed using social media so he also decided to use it.

After some months, he started to use social media and also made his own account in different apps like Facebook, Instagram ,Twitter etc. He used to use his social media very rarely but when the time passed, he started to use social media continuously. After finishing his homeworks, he used to revise all the lessons before but now he was 24/7 busy on his mobile. He didn't spend time with his parents. He used to stay in his room all day playing mobile games and chatting with his friends. One day while scrolling through instagram he found an account of a very beautiful girl. He decided to send her a request.  He was not sure that she would accept his request or not but he really liked that girl. After a few days his request got accepted. He saw her posts and stories and fell in love with her. He wanted to text her but did not have enough courage. But one day he gathered up his courage and wished her a happy birthday. Then their conversation began. They both shared their information. They both talked about their goals and future plans. They talked with each other everyday. It seemed that Sejal also liked him through her texts. They were in a long distance relationship. They both could not resist talking to each other even for a single day. By all this time, Devin also realized that he was madly in love with Sejal. He only thought about Sejal and dreamed about her all day and all night. He was so addicted to Sejal and he even told his mother about that girl. His mother ignored that because she thinks he’s still young to talk about love. Devin didn't realize that his studies were slowly worsening. He was not the first guy anymore. His parents and teachers were worried about him but he really didn't care at all. All he was worried about was Sejal. His exam results were not good anymore. He was getting a lot of pressure from his parents and teachers. As his result got worse he now got scolded everyday. But he still did not stop talking with her. Only Devin asked Sejal to run out of the house and go somewhere else. Devin asked this to her because he was fed up by the pressure his parents gave him. He was frequently texting Sejal but she was not replying. He was very sad and worried. Later they got a text from Sejal to meet him at a park. He was surprised how she knew about the park near his school. When he went there he saw his friends there. He was very shocked to see them. Even the principal sir and his parents were there. After knowing what the truth was, Devin was bursted tears. His friend Pratyush was behind the girl named Sejal. It was his fake id. He was pranking with him all the time. When Devin asked why he did so he replied that he wanted to see him be a failure. He was jealous of his success. He wanted to put him in all those love things and spoil his studies. At the exam when Devin's marks got low he was very happy and wanted to continue the fake Sejal things. But principal sir heard everything he had done while he was sharing things with his best friend. And everything came to an end. Devin was very shocked and sad. His own friend was jealous of his success and pulled a “hilarious” prank on him. Pratysh got suspended for his behavior and Devin was very shameful and embarrassed.

Devin gave his phone to his dad and asked him only to return when he would get good grades as before. He now had stopped using his phone and worked hard in his studies. He anyhow wanted to gain his first position and wanted to make his teachers and parents proud. He studied day and night. When the second term examination result came his hard work was reflected there. He again was in the top position. He was very happy that he did it. His parents and teachers were very amused and proud of him. Devin had learned a very important lesson from the behavior of his friend.
 

Once upon a time in an ancient world where technology was not developed. The land percentage was even less and there were thousands of different islands. In one of those islands there lived a small boy. His father had left him and his mother was sick. The boy was lonely and everyone disrespected him. He used to spend most of his time in a bar helping the lady working there. There was also a huge forest near the village where he lived and he used to go there to play. His name was Joey.

One day unfortunately his mother passed away. After the doctor told the news he was shocked and ran away to the forest crying. He ran crying until his legs hurt, then he stopped and saw above him a child of his same age swinging in the branches having fun and enjoying his life. The child on the tree saw Joey crying and he asked why he was crying and to play. Then Joey stopped crying and joined Jack and started playing. Joey and Jack became good friends and Joey had forgotten all the pain he felt during the passing of his mother. Jack was from a rich family and he used to run away from home to play with Joey. He didn't like his parents and his parents forced him to read and be a successful man to take over their family business. Jack didn’t like his parents while Joey desperately wanted his parents back. They two had different mindset yet they two became inseparable. They both started meeting each other almost everyday for a long time and soon his parents found out and hired a guard to not let Jack go out but that didn’t prevent Jack from meeting Joey. They both kept getting closer and closer. They both did mischief together, they both stole food together and they both played together. One day they decided to set sail together and go on an adventure together and from that day forward they declared themselves as brothers. Months had passed Jack’s parents were worried that Jack would always run away from home to go play with Joey. Then one day they mysteriously disappeared. The next day when Jack and Joey were playing, a huge cannon shot was heard from the distance. At first they wondered what had happened and then they started ignoring it and kept on playing. Then they saw a huge fire spreading and heard villagers screaming “pirates”. The fire was spreading quickly and many people were getting killed. Both Jack and Joey were afraid and then started hiding. The pirates then landed on the island and started creating havoc killing everyone in sight, destroying everything in sight until they both found Jack and Joey. Then they captured both of them and then kept both of them in a separate cage and they left the ship. Their ship was massive and had a parrot as its flag. The captain of the ship was old and then he took Jack up to the deck and gave him to his parents and said,”the deal is done”. Like a pirate he had an eyepatch one of his hands and legs were missing and replaced with a hook and a stick respectively. He started marching downwards and asked Joey in a rough voice “So you areJack’s friend what should I do to you now hmph….?”. After hearing this Joey was scared and then the captain responded, “I am Black Bill known as gray beard and I hereby command you to join my crew as a sweeper”. Then after saying this he laughed.

Joey was shocked seeing that answer. He thought he was going to die here but he got an opportunity to live. He had no choice and he accepted his proposal and he was released and from the next day he started sweeping the floor and setting sail at gray beard’s ship to find Jack one day and escape that ship.

सगरमाथा उच्चो छ शिर गर्वले नुग्छु म

हिमाल शिर, पहाड तन तराई ओछ्यान
सानो छ देश, अपार श्रोत ईश्वरको वरदान

मन्दिरै मन्दिर देवको बास यो तपोभूमि हो
बुद्धको जन्म, सीताको कर्म यो स्वर्गभूमि हो ।
स्वर्गकी परी रारा ताल यही, बेगनास झैँ अरू
हिमाल पारी मुक्तिनाथ बाबा, अनेकाैँ झर्नाहरू ।।

जुम्लाको सिमी, मुस्ताङको स्याउ प्रकृति वरदान
ढिँडो र गुन्द्रुक, मार्सीको चामल चौरासी व्यञ्जन ।
राजहाँस डुल्छन् तालमा सधैँ,असला माछाकाे घर ।

लोपोन्मुख जन्तु हुर्कन्छन् यहाँ घडियाल यहीँ
सालकै डुल्छन् गाउँघरतिर स्वर्गकी परी झैँ ।

यो धर्ती कहिल्यै नछाड्नु परोस् हे ! प्यारो नेपाल ।।

There was once a boy named Rakesh who used to live in a small village. He was 10 years old and he was a very happy and lovely kid. He also had very caring parents. Back then people only prioritized physical pain and nothing else. Rakesh started to grow up and he started to understand how life is. He used to get lots of assignments from his school. He was always sad and looked like he hadn't slept for 2-3 days. His parents were constantly worried about him but he didn't say anything to his parents because he thought it might just worry them more and they may think he was starting to get crazy. When he shared what he was suffering from to his friends they used to laugh at him and didn't take his words seriously. His mental health was getting worse day by day. He was not able to focus on his assignments anymore. He had already forgotten how to enjoy his life

He slowly began to lose interest in life. He thought that he was not important to anyone and no one would care if he didnt exist. He slowly started to have negative feelings in his mind. He came across suicidal thoughts more often but he just used to ignore it. He slowly started to harm himself. He used to cut his hands with a sharp blade. At first it was very painful for him but later he got used to it and he started to love that pain. He wanted himself to suffer more and more. He used to cut his hands multiple times a day just to feel that pain. After some time Rakesh's parents were a little worried because he didn't used to talk to anyone and he just used to spend his time in his room all day long without talking to anyone.

His parents asked him what was going on many times and after some time Rakesh wasn’t able to hide this with his parents any longer and said how he used to cut himself and how he came across the idea of suicide multiple times but his parents didnt believed him because that time people were still not properly educated and they still lacked knowledge on mental halth and how serious it can be. His parents thought that he was crazy and took him to a witch doctor the next day thinking that he was possessed by some evil spirits. After that his mental health became even worse because the person he trusted the most, his parents didn't believe him.

He was now having a difficult time sleeping and he always used to get lost in his own thoughts. He had so many things going on his mind, so many questions he had but there was no one to answer. He used to ask himself why no one believed him and why no one loved him. He even stopped eating properly after some days and it could clearly be seen that he hadn't slept at all due to the dark circles in his eyes and how tired he looked. He again came across the idea of suicide but this time he didn’t ignored it. He was fed up with this world and he didn't want to suffer anymore.

No one listened to his problem, not even his loving parents believed him. After some time he attempted suicide and left this cruel world. It shocked the village. His death caused a ripple. They eventually began learning and focusing on mental health too so that there would not be another Rakesh. Although Rakesh was not able to get the treatment he should have, the people after him would get the proper facilities.

The moral of the story is we should not ignore mental health as it can be far more dangerous than physical health. We never know what a person is going through so we must think before saying something to them. If someone had listened to Rakesh's problem then he might not have taken that step. So if someone is willing to share their problem to us then we must listen as it might help them.

मानव जीवनमा शिक्षाले महत्त्वपूर्ण भूमिका खेल्छ । शिक्षाले नै मानिसलाई जीवनको बाटो देखाउने गर्छ । सामान्य व्यक्ति भएर एउटा राम्रो जीवन जिउनका लागि पनि शिक्षाको महत्त्वपूर्ण भूमिका हुन्छ । एउटा असल व्यक्ति, परिवार, समाज, समुदाय र राष्ट्र बन्नको लागि शिक्षाबिना सम्भव हुँदैन । देश विकास गर्ने योजना बनाउँदा शिक्षा सबैभन्दा महत्त्वपूर्ण रहन्छ । जुन मानिसले शिक्षा हासिल गरेकाे छैन, ती मानिससँग देश विकास गर्ने उचित दृष्टिकाेण, याेजना तथा मार्गचित्र हुँदैन । शिक्षाले रोजगारीका अवसरहरूको सिर्जना गर्छ । शिक्षाले  मानिसहरूलाई स्वस्थ, गुणस्तरीय तथा उच्चस्तरकाे  जीवनशैली बाँच्न सहयाेग गर्छ । शिक्षाले  मानिसहरूको आर्थिक र वित्तीय जीवनशैली सुधार गर्न सक्छ । मानिसको जीवनमा सुधार आयो भने देशको आर्थिक स्थितिमा सुधार आउने सम्भावना रहेको हुन्छ । मानिसको जीवन सुखमा बिताउने या दु:खमा यो सब शिक्षाले निर्णय गर्ने गरेको छ । यदि मानिसको त विकास शिक्षाले नै गर्छ भने देशको विकास त अवस्य नै गर्ने छ । देश विकासका लागि देशमा शिक्षाविद्, अर्थशास्त्री, सामाजिक कार्यकर्ता, मानवअधिकारकर्मी र प्रतिनिधि सभामा विपक्षी हुनुपर्छ । यदि यी मानिस भएन भने हाम्रो देश जस्तो हुन्छ नेताहरूलाई देश विकास गर्न अरू देशको सहयोग चाहिन्छ । आफूले एउटा पनि निर्णय लिन सक्दैनन् । भ्रष्टाचारले देश घेरिएको छ । 
हाम्रो देश नेपालमा जनशक्तिको उचित तथा प्रभावकारी प्रयोग हुन सकेको छैन । सरकारी तथा गैरसरकारी संस्थाहरूको उचित व्यवस्थापन हुन सकेको छैन । यस्ता विविध क्षेत्रमा राम्राे व्यवस्थापन हुन नसक्नु राज्यकाे  नेतृत्व गर्ने स्थानमा शिक्षित तथा अनुभव नभएका मानिसहरूकाे सहभागिताले गर्दा भएकाे हाे । हामी यस्तो देशमा बसेका छौँ कि, यहाँका राजनीतिक दलहरूले नेपाली जनतालाई भेडाबाख्रा ठानेर आफ्नाे व्यक्तिगत स्वार्थलाई परिपूरण गर्ने मात्र देखिन्छन् ।  जनताहरू एक अर्कालाई दोष दिएर बसेका हुन्छन् । आफूले केही गर्न आँट गर्दैनन् । सब एक अर्कामा निर्भर भएर बसेका छन् । हाम्रो देश एउटा यस्ताे दृष्टान्त बनेकाे छ कि यदि देशका नेता र जनता शिक्षित छैनन् भने देश कस्तो स्थितिमा पुग्छ भन्ने । यदि देशका नेताहरू  शिक्षित छन् भने देश कस्तो स्थितिमा पुग्छ भने  फिनल्याण्डको उदहारण लिन सकिन्छ । शिक्षा नै हो मानिसको ठुलो गहना यदि शिक्षा नै छैन भने हामी मानिसको मूल्य नै रहँदैन र जति मानिस शिक्षित हुन्छ, त्यति ठुलो उसको मूल्य रहन्छ । कुनै पनि समाज तथा राष्ट्रकाे युग सापेक्ष विकास गर्न शिक्षाकाे अहम् भूमिका रहन्छ । 
 

I caught Leukemia last year. 
When I heard about the disease, I felt like this was gonna be it. I was gonna die within a year or two.

So, with the time I had left, I thought I could do things that I always wanted to do. Like going to Switzerland as I’ve always wanted to. Fixing relationships with my lost loved ones or doing crazy things that I would never dare to ever do. I never considered my leukemia curing. Well, you can say, we just always have to assume the worst.

Within a few months, my leukemia has gotten worse. I can’t even get out of bed properly. I was admitted to the hospital 2 days ago. Great, now I can’t even complete the things I wanted to do before I died.

Today, I’m getting shifted to a new room. My parents are acting like I’m gonna die. Even the doctors look like, they’ve given up hope for me. I have final chemotherapy in a month. The chances of me surviving are very low. I don’t mind dying. I just want to get rid of this pain. The constant fevers, weakness, and not being able to fully live life. I want it to end already. At this point, dying might be a better option.

The new room looks pretty fun. Colorful, lots of games to play, flowers on vases, cartoons on walls and a bed. I got shifted onto the bed. I’m supposed to stay here until my chemotherapy comes near. I try to stay happy for my parents. I don’t want to make them sad. I try to appreciate the things I receive. But internally I feel like I’ve lost the sense of joy. I’ve forgotten the sense of being happy. I smile but I don’t feel anything.

While my parents went out to get lunch, I kept staring at the ceiling. Feeling empty. Then I hear a click. The door opens. I see a girl walk in.

“Hi. I see that you’re new here. I’m Alysia.” says the girl. Alysia is also one of the Leukemia patients. She has her chemotherapy a week before mine. But in comparison, she is healthier than me. She can laugh, walk and feel joy. She’s like the sun. Shining bright every day.

“I’m Farrah”

“Farrah? That’s a very unique name. Do you know what it means?”

“It means ‘Happy’.”

“Are you always happy then?”

“I can’t quite say that,” I say

“How long have you been here? I’ve been here for 2 weeks. I used to be scared about the hospital but it's not that bad and the kids here are also quite friendly.”

“I’ve been here for 2 days. I have my chemo in a month.”

“I have my chemo in 3 weeks. And I’ve been tasked to keep all the kids here happy since I’m the healthiest. What do you want to do when you get out of here? I want to visit Switzerland. ” She says with a smile on her face.

“How can you be so sure you’ll survive? I’m not even sure I’ll make it till a month.”

“Don’t say that, Have a little hope for yourself and the others. If you don’t hope to survive you won’t. I’m not sure if I’ll survive myself but the least I can do is hope.” she says trying to comfort me.

My mom enters the room. This signals Alysia to leave the room. She greets my mom and says goodbye to me.

Alysia visited me often for the past 2 and ½ weeks. We’ve grown really close. When I’m with her, I can feel joy and happiness. She makes me laugh. She’s like my sun. I don’t want her to go anywhere away from me. I just want her to stay with me. And keep helping me feel alive. But I can’t have her full day. So, when she’s not with me, I think about the things we did that day and smile.

“You know, You’re quite likable, Farah. Did you think about what you want to do when you get out of here?” says Alysia.

I say, “When I get out of here, I want to spend all my time with you. And make jokes and laugh. And I even want to visit Switzerland with you. We can do so many things together. I want to say together with you, always.”

She looks at me a little shocked. She stutters while she speaks, “You really want to spend your life with me?”

For the first time, I feel butterflies in my stomach. I responded without hesitating, “Yes.”

She then makes up an excuse, her whole face red and leaves the room.

I keep thinking about what just happened, and all the moments we had together. I can’t stop thinking about her. I think I just had my first crush.

The next day, she comes back to tell me this will be the final day she visits me. She has her chemo in 5 days. And if she didn’t survive the chemo, she wanted to say her final goodbyes to me. She brought me a small locket shaped like a heart. She said, “Farah, you really do bring happiness in people’s lives just like your name. You are happy. If I don’t make it through the chemo, will you live the best life you can for me if you survive? Even if I don’t survive, don’t ever lose hope. Because I know you’ll achieve something great in life. And if we both make it, we can do everything you said before. We can spend the rest of our lives together. ” Then, she moves towards the door. I had no words to say, I didn’t know what to say. She runs back and gives me a kiss on the lips and runs out the door.

I feel my face heating up. I feel my face getting red. All night I think to myself about the things Alysia and I’ll do together when we get out of here.”

It’s been a week since then. I guess Alysia’s had her chemo by now. I can’t wait to meet her. I have my own chemo in 4 days. After we’ve both recovered, we had promised to meet at Lake Dora on the deck after two months of my chemo.

After two months, I will go to lake Dora.

I found Alysia’s mom there. I asked her where Alysia was. She hands me a letter, wishes good for me ahead, hands me the location of some place and leaves crying.

The letter read, 
Dear Farrah,
You are the most beautiful girl I have ever met. You are beautiful in every aspect. You are the kindest, most caring and funniest person. You really did bring happiness to my life. I’m about to die in a few hours. I wanted to write this letter as a last goodbye. I can’t write much since my hand doesn’t have much strength. But, I just want to tell you, Never give up hope. And keep living the best life you can for me, for us. And even though we promised to meet at the lake, sadly, I won't be coming. I am so sorry Farrah. I’ll always love you.

Love,
Alysia.
I stand there with the letter in my hands and feel a tear rolling down my cheek. I guess she’s not coming today. 
 

के तिमी जिम्मेवारी लिन्छौ ?

माया गर्छु भनेर जालमा पार्छौ
आफैँले बनाएको मायालाई मार्छौ,
हृदयकाे मानिसलाई जिन्दगीबाट पर सार्छौ।

सबै सम्बन्धलाई तिमी काट्छौ,
उमारेको मायालाई तिमी मार्छौ
माया जगाई राख्न तिमी हार्छौ,
आफैँले बनाएको मायाको जाललाई तिमी च्यात्छौ।

मन लागे बोलाउँछौ,
मन लागे चलाउँछौ
मन लागे खेलाउँछौ,
र मन लागे हराउँछौ।

कसरी अलग राखुँ आफूबाट तिम्रो नासाे
कसरी बोकूँ म तिम्रो भार
कसरी बिर्सु हाम्रो त्यो भुतकाल,
कसरी बिर्सु म तिम्रो आकार। 
अँ, साँच्चै भन त सम्झदा सम्झदै 
सदाका लागि आफैँलाई बिर्से भने 
के तिमी जिम्मेवारी लिन्छाै ?
