Procrastination
- Prasun Basnet - 27028, Grade ... 07 February, 2024

Everyone in this world tries to achieve something big in comparison to others. We all make decisions easily, but when it comes to actually doing it, we tend to set it aside. We say we'll do it tomorrow or later, but the past never returns, and this tendency is known as procrastination. But why do people procrastinate? Procrastination is not a newly existing phenomenon. Research conducted at a university revealed that even in 1400 B.C., during the construction of the pyramids, people procrastinated in their work, taking a long time to complete tasks. In today’s generation, half of the earth's population procrastinates. But why do they do it?

We procrastinate while reading, doing projects, or exercising, but we never procrastinate while scrolling on Instagram or watching videos on YouTube. We tend to procrastinate tasks that require effort, but not those that entertain us or make us happy. Even deadlines play a vital role in this behavior. For example, if there's a project due in five days, we often procrastinate until the final hours. And if there are no deadlines for projects, procrastination knows no bounds and can become infinite. We often blame circumstances if we fail to achieve tasks, but deep down, we know we didn't even try to accomplish them. Procrastination leads to depression, stress, anxiety, and more. We feel guilty for not completing assignments, but we wonder how different our mood would be if we had done them. 

Procrastination progresses through different stages - expectancy, need, need for affiliation, and cumulative prospect. We don't procrastinate on tasks that can be completed in a few days. Motivation for work doesn't come from watching motivational videos or speeches; it comes when we recognize the personal significance of our work. We even procrastinate when we fear failure. Before giving into procrastination, we should consider the disadvantages of the task. For example, if a project assigned at work warns that failure to complete it will result in termination, we are less likely to procrastinate. Even if we doubt our abilities, we should focus on tasks where we have confidence. In such cases, procrastination is less likely to occur. Fear of failure arises from a disturbed mindset and ego. Simply put, the longer we procrastinate, the more regrets we'll face. The less we procrastinate, the fewer regrets we'll have, or even none if we're punctual. Distractions also play a significant role in procrastination. Phones, surroundings, and social media are common distractions.


 

In conclusion, procrastination can hinder our chances of leading a successful life and achieving our goals. The points mentioned above can help us avoid distractions and overcome procrastination.

छाउपडी प्रथा
- Parisa Nepal - 27033, Grade I ... 06 February, 2024

छाउपडी प्रथा एक नेपालका केही दुर्गम क्षेत्रहरूमा, विशेष गरी देशको पश्चिमी भागहरूमा देखा परेको एउटा समस्या हाे । यसमा महिनावारी भएका महिला र केटीहरूका साथै भर्खरै बच्चा जन्माइसकेकाहरूलाई अलग्गै झुपडीमा बस्न लगाउने गरिन्छ । यी महिला र केटीहरूलाई तिनीहरूको महिनावारी वा प्रसवपछिको अवधिमा अपवित्र मानिन्छ ।  तिनीहरू प्रायः उनीहरूको दैनिक क्रियाकलाप, खानपान र सामाजिक अन्तरक्रियामा उनीहरू सहभागी हुन पाउँदैनन् ।

छाउपडी बसेका महिलाले दही, दूध खाएमा र घर तथा भाँडाकुडा छोएमा देउता रिसाउँछन् भन्ने जस्तो अन्धविश्वास छ । सुत्केरी तथा रजश्वला भएकी नारीलाई झन् सफा राख्नुपर्ने तथा प्रशस्त पोसिलो आहार खुवाइ आराम गराउनु पर्ने अवस्थामा शिक्षित, सम्पन्न र सभ्य भनिने घरका छोरी, बुहारीसमेत रजस्वला हुँदा घरका गाई-भैँसीको दूध खाँदैनन् । यस्तो बेलामा घरमा पालेको गाई-भैँसीको दूध खाए तिनले दूध दिन छोड्छन् भन्ने अन्धविश्वास छ । अहिले भने छाउपडी प्रथा अन्त्य गर्नका लागि विभिन्न सामाजिक सङ्घसंस्थाहरू आन्दोलनमा उत्रेका छन् ।

परम्परागत जनविश्वासका कारण यस्ता महिलालाई छोएको खण्डमा वा कुनै लसपस भएमा अशुद्ध हुने भएकाले छोए पनि सुनपानीको छिटो हाल्ने, गहुँत खुवाउने, घरका कुलदेवता चोख्याउनेजस्ताे चलन छ । प्राचीन कालदेखि चलिआएको परम्परालाई लत्याएर महिलाहरू महिनावारी तथा सुत्केरी भएको अवस्थामा छुइछाइ गरेमा घरका कुलदेवता रिसाउने र परिवारमा हानि नोक्सानी पुग्ने, शरीर सुक्दै जाने, अन्नबाली नफल्ने अन्धविश्वास छ । 

छाउपडी प्रथाले प्रभावित व्यक्तिको शारीरिक र मानसिक स्वास्थ्यमा नकारात्मक प्रभाव  पार्दै गइरहेकाे छ  । जसका कारण महिलाहरू अस्वच्छ वातावरण र सर्पदंश र यौन हिंसाको जोखिममा परेका छन् ।  कानुनी रूपमा याे प्रथा हटे पनि व्यवहारिक रूपमा याे अझै हट्न सकेकाे छैन । अहिले बिस्तारै त्यहाँका मानिसहरूमा जनचेतना बढ्दै पनि गइरहेकाे छ । कानुनी उपाय र सचेतना अभियानमार्फत यो प्रथा उन्मूलन गर्ने प्रयास गरिए पनि पूर्ण रूपमा याे हट्न सकेकाे  छैन ।

छाउपडी प्रथाका कारण विभिन्न विकृतिहरू देखा पर्ने गरेका छन् । जस्तो कि छाउपडी बसेका बेला बलात्कार हुने । सर्पले टोकेर मर्ने लगायतका घटनाहरू पनि सुन्नमा आउँछन् । कतिपय महिला छाउपडीमा बसेका बेला चिसोले कठ्याङ्ग्रिएर र कतिपय बढी रक्तस्राव भएर ज्यान जाने गरेका छन् । त्यसैले यस्ताे कुप्रथा हटाएर सभ्य समाजकाे निर्माण गर्नु हाम्राे दायित्व पनि हाे ।

My Childhood Memories
- Amu Shakya - 27021, Grade IX ... 05 February, 2024

I love my childhood. For every person, this period is the golden period of life. For every person, it is a sweet memory that no one can forget. However, some don't have such memorable sweet moments, but I enjoyed my childhood with joy. It is the most fun and beautiful moment for me. I always remember this moment because I made good friends in that period. I was an innocent boy who always respected the elders and was faithful to all. That's why I became the beloved of most of my near and dear people. When I remember my childhood, these memories automatically bring a smile to my face. These memories are always close to my heart.


 

The moments when I enjoyed the festivals. The happiness brought into my life when I got new clothes from my parents and even more from my grandparents. When any big festivals like Dashain, Tihar came, I got new clothes from my parents. The love from my family members when I became sick are all my sweet memories. I always miss these memories. I loved to celebrate festivals, gather with my family members, talk with cousins, and share our feelings. That's really a great moment for me when we went to mymaterna;l uncle’s home for nakhyta, which is invited after any festival celebrated by Newars.


 

During childhood, I had fewer burdens of school assignments, responsibilities, and duties. At that time, I could enjoy life fully. I know childhood is the first stage of a person's life, in which they can shape their life. But still, when I did some stupid things, mistakes, and naughty things, the punishment I received always taught me some kind of lesson. I never repeated such mistakes again.


 

In my childhood, I loved to play outdoor games. I enjoyed playing football, cycling, and swimming. I always waited for the long school vacation so that I could go swimming with my best friend, Sohan. We made a plan at least one month ago for swimming and playing football. I remember how I requested my mother to take me swimming even though she was busy with office and household work. But she always gave more priority to my happiness. She is not only my mother but also the best friend who can understand my feelings without any words from my mouth.


 

The memories of my innocence when I was scared after watching horror movies, but I always loved to watch even though I was frightened by those horror scenes. My childhood is my sweet memories, and I always want to reminisce when I feel upset. These memories make me refreshed and relieve the stress of my life.


 

My parents have captured most of my important activities during my childhood. My birthday celebrations, my bratabandha, etc. I always enjoy seeing those photos and videos. My first bhai tika with my elder sister's photo is my best photo, which is still in my memory. My first school day, I don't forget in my life.


 

All these memories are the charger of my life. So I always go ahead in my life with these sweet childhood memories.

सपना
- Eshaan Kumar Rajbhandari - 27 ... 02 February, 2024

म सूर्य र यो मेरो कथा, कसरी मेरो नाम सूर्यबाट सुरज भयो ? त्यसैले यो कथा मेरो दैनिक जीवनबाट सुरु हुन्छ । म स्कुलको लागि तयार हुँदै थिए जहाँ मेरा आमाबाबु पनि आफ्नो कामको लागि तयार हुनुभएकाे थियाे । म मेरो सामान्य छाेटाे बाटो हिँड्दै थिएँ । जब अचानक आमाले मलाई बेकरलाई तिर्न केही पैसा दिनुभएको याद आयो । जसको पसल अर्को सडकको छेउँमा थियो  । मैले सधैँ प्रयोग गर्ने वा स्कुल जान रुचाउने तरिकाभन्दा फरक थियो । साँझ उही लामो बाटो हिँड्न धेरै अल्छी भएकाले स्कुल जाने लामो बाटोमा दौड्दै गर्दा अचानक ढुङ्गाबाट खसेर टाउकोमा ठुलो चोट लाग्यो । यसपछि मलाई कसले पर्खिरहेको थियो थाहा भएन ।

म कुनै ब्रह्माण्ड जस्तै अरू कुनै ब्रह्माण्डमा ब्युँझिएको थिएँ । मैले सुरुमा यो महसुस गरिनँ किनभने म मेरो स्कुलको नर्स कोठामा सुतिरहेको जस्तो म ट्रिप गरेपछि पनि यस्तै कुरा जारी थियो । नर्सको कोठामा सुत्नु मेरो लागि सामान्य थियो । मलाई डरलाग्दो कुरा लाग्यो र मलाई असामान्य लाग्यो कि लगभग पाँचदेखि दस गुण्डाहरू जहा मेरो वरिपरि थिए । तिनीहरूका सदस्यहरू वा तिनीहरूका गिरोहले मैले कसैलाई केही गरे जस्तो गरी हेरिरहेका थिए । बिस्तारै बुझेँ र मैले जे देखिरहेको छु, त्यो सपना नभई वास्तविकता  थियो ? वास्तविकतामा म युवा गुण्डाहरुको समूहको पूर्वी भागको प्रमुख भएको थिएँ । मेरो हत्केलाको टुप्पोले मेरो टाउको रगाएको थिएँ र त्यसपछि महसुस गरेँ कि यो सपना होइन ? मैले मेरो बाँकी जीवन यो वास्तविकतासँग बाँच्नु पर्छ । मैले आफ्नो दिमागको प्रयोगमा राम्रो भएकाले गुन्डाको रूपमा आफ्नो जीवन जारी राखेँ र मैले मेरो ब्रह्माण्डमा मेरा शिक्षकहरूले प्रशंसा गर्ने धेरै सराहनीय कामहरू पनि गरेँ । त्यसैले म यस ब्रह्माण्डमा प्रवेश गरेपछि मैले मेरो भाग्य परिवर्तन गरे जस्तै धेरै कुराहरू गरेँ । कतै भगवान्ले मलाई गुन्डा बनाउन चाहन्थे। त्यसैले गिरोहलाई बेवास्ता गर्नुको सट्टा मैले हाम्रो लडाइँको तरिका परिवर्तन गर्न थालेँ । न्यायको लागि लड्न थालेँ । म परिवर्तन भएँ र देश निर्माणको हाम्रो प्रणालीमा समस्या हुन थालेका अन्य सबै गिरोहहरूलाई हटाउन थालेँ । मलाई थाहा थियो कि यो नियति हो र भगवान्ले मलाई संसारबाट अपराध हटाउन यहाँ पठाउनुभएको थियो ।

सबैमा मैले मेरो डर हटाउन र जीवनमा अगाडि बढ्न मैले सक्दो काेसिस गरेको छु। शान्ति कायम गर्न न्याय, सन्तुलन र समानता हुनुपर्छ भन्ने मैले बुझेँ । यो नयाँ जीवनबाट मैले सिकेको छु कि जीवन एक कठिन यात्रा हो जसले हामीलाई हाम्रो गन्तव्यमा पुर्‍याउँछ । किनकि यसले हामीलाई हाम्रो मन पर्ने ठाउँमा पुर्‍याउँछ जब हामी भित्र इच्छा हुन्छ । जब इच्छा हुन्छ त्यहाँ बाटो हुन्छ ।

नेपालको पहिचान
- Manaswi Sapkota - 26004, Grad ... 01 February, 2024

नेपाल आकर्षणले भरिएको देश

हिमाल, नदी र ताल

चारैतिर मनमोहक दृश्य

तर के छ र नेपाल साँच्चै सुन्दर ?


 

सानो सानो कुरामा झगडा

वास्तविक समस्यालाइ बेवास्ता

सबैलाई यति थाहा पाउनु छ

कैले जाने छोडेर नेपाल ।


 

सरकारले बेकारका कुराका लागि

 मात्र बनाउँछ नियम 

खोला भेटिनुको मतलब किन ?

जहाँ छैन सिँचाइ र पानी


 

यो ठाउँ जहाँ हत्याकाे छैन कुनै सजाय 

तर अफिसरकाे तल्तीमा मलाई जरिवाना 

के यस्तो हुनुपर्ने हो त मेराे देशकाे कानुन ?

भाेग्नेलाई के थाह बनाउनेले जानून् ।


 

हिमशैलकाे टुप्पो मात्र हो र यो देश मेराे 

जानी र बुझी नसक्नु यै देशकाे सेराेफेराे

बढेको छ नेपालमा भ्रष्टाचार किन ?

पैसा भए बदलिन्छ कानुन यहाँ छिन छिन ।

The God’s Redemption: Battle of Qingqie
- Sauharda Bajracharya - 26010, ... 31 January, 2024

In the realm of the gods, amidst the planets and stars, there lived a god with unrivaled powers named Lapix. He reigned over a celestial planet known as Qingqie, a place with endless springs, filled with lush, and colorful grasslands. Qingqie was a paradise for all beings, and Lapix was the ruler everyone admired. 


 

But even in the greatest paradises, dark forces find a way to enter it. The demons from the Lower Abyss, creatures hundred times bigger than the gods, entered Qingqie, hiding in the dandelion fields, waiting for the time to capture the region. For the longest time, Lapix had protected the region from dark forces. He was incredibly strong and powerful, with powers to shapeshift into other beings and immortality, however even the strongest can face problems they can solve themselves.


 

One day, the radiant goddess, Gui, went into the dandelion fields. Gui was the only love of Lapix, the one who he admired and inspired. The demon in the dandelion fields, Osile, had been practicing dark magic for several years to end all life in the region.


 

As Gui walked through the dandelions, darkness surrounded her, creating a sense of blindness, and Osile appeared through the shadows. Lapix felt a sense of danger and rushed to the dandelion fields. He had an intense battle with the demon, but the dark magic was too powerful for even the strongest god. Lapix was hurt and Gui was taken by Osile to the dark world to be imprisoned. 


 

Lapix’s spirit began to fade after the defeat. He blamed himself for not being able to defend his kingdom and losing a loved one. Meanwhile, Osile had gone to the dark world to seek protection from the Demon Lords. Consumed by anger, Lapix challenged Osile to another battle. However, the demon, well aware of the god’s true power, refused. 


 

Lapix teamed up with the other two archons, determined to seek revenge from the demon and rescue Gui from the demon. The demons were well aware of the plan, and launched an attack on Qingqie again. The Demon Lords emerged from the dark world, darkening the sky with their presence. 


 

Unaware of their sudden emergence, the archons fought an intense battle with the Demon Lords. The three gods had a grueling battle with the Demon lords, lasting several weeks. The battle led to severe injury of the two of the archons. As a last resort, Lapix harnessed his full power, and with unimaginable strength, he decapitated Osile. 


 

Likewise, he triumphed over the water demon, Chi, creating a colossal tsunami of water that flooded the entire region. Similarly, he annihilated a powerful dragon by summoning a meteorite from the sky. Correspondingly, he imprisoned many of the demons within a massive mountain near Qingqie village. Lapix single handedly saved his kingdom and rescued Gui.


 

Lapix had ultimately seeked revenge from the Demon Lords, putting an end to the whole bloodline of the demons. The battle had a huge impact on Qingqie. Existing structures were destroyed, and new ones were formed. Following the defeat of Chi, an entirely new region of water was formed. Osile’s decapitated head was fossilized, forming a structure in the shape of a demon head.


 

After having reigned Qingqie for over 5000 years, Lapix made a decision to step down from his throne and become a common person. His victory over the demons ensured that no other terrific attack occurred ever again.

The Evolution of Chess
- Suprabh Acharya - 27014, Grad ... 30 January, 2024

Chess is a two-player strategy based board game which is said to be one of the oldest games in the world. It is played on a square board which is divided into 64 small squares of generally black and white color. Each player has 16 pieces which contain one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops and eight pawns. The objective of playing chess is to checkmate the king of the opposing player. Chess involves the skills of strategic planning and tactics. 


 

The board game chess is said to have originated from India and made its way to European countries through Persia during the early 15 century. [1] The Persian players made different variations of the game starting from the positions of all the pieces and how the pieces move. The tradition of chess transformed during the Renaissance period. The queen was made able to move all across the board with power. This change in the game changed the adaptation of the game making it more thrilling and interesting. 


 

As chess continued to spread in the world, many strategies and tactics were made by players. Some of them are: en passant and castling. En passant allows a pawn to capture the opponent’s pawn that has moved at least two squares from its starting position. [2]


 

Similarly, castling is a strategic move which involves the king and one rook. This move makes it so that the king can escape from the center of the board and position the rook to defend the king or attack. [2] These strategies transformed the tactical chances and complexity of chess. 


 

By the 19th century, chess became famous for passing time and learning new strategies and tactics for leaders too. The competitive nature of chess led to the first international chess tournament in the world. This tournament took place in London, United Kingdoms in 1851 AD. This can be taken as the beginning of the chess era. 


 

This tournament was a platform for players like Emanuel Lasker, Wilhelm Steinitz and other masters to show their talent in front of the world. Each player brought a new and unique style of playing chess and a different vision which influenced various generations of players to get better and learn more from the board game. 


 

Around the 20th century, chess was revolutionized by computers. The match between Garry Kasparov and IBM’s Deep Blue AI showcased the potential of AI in chess and mastering the game of chess. [3] This event emphasized on the evolution of the interrelationship between humans and computers in the chess world. In the 21st century, chess has become a worldwide game. The evolution of chess shows the game’s adaptability and creativity it offers and it still continues to improve and have changes in the game.

Dark Energy and the Expansion of our Universe
- Sakshyam Karna - 26013, Grade ... 29 January, 2024

In the 1990s, scientists discovered, while studying a far-off supernova, that our universe was expanding faster than what had been speculated. The explosions made by dying stars were observed to be fainter than before, and supernovae, which are some of the brightest stars in the universe, were also observed to be getting dimmer and dimmer over time. All this hinted towards the acceleration of the expansion of the universe.


 

Dark energy has been postulated by scientists as a possible explanation for this cosmic acceleration. Dark energy is proposed as an internal negative pressure of space under Einstein's general relativity theory. Dark energy doesn't undergo dilution with the expansion of the universe, unlike matter or radiation. Rather, its density stays constant or even rises with time, creating an opposing gravitational force to matter's attraction and resulting in the acceleration that is observed.


 

Although the word "destruction" may evoke visions of apocalyptic occurrences, dark energy may have a more subdued but nonetheless significant effect on the universe. Galaxies are thought to be accelerating their separation from one another due to dark energy's driving force. Consequently, galaxy clusters, superclusters, and cosmic filaments—cosmic formations that have developed over billions of years—may eventually dissolve.


 

A hypothesis for the universe's ultimate demise is the "Big Freeze" or "Heat Death." Galaxies continue to drift apart as a result of dark energy's continued driving of the universe's expansion in this gloomy future scenario. Eventually, the cosmos gets chilly and barren as galaxies beyond our cosmic horizon become unreachable. Galaxies become solitary islands in an ever-expanding cosmic sea as stars burn out.


 

The foundation of the Big Freeze scenario is the hypothesis that dark energy either stays constant or gets denser, continuing the acceleration. Galaxy-to-galaxy separation results in an insurmountable energy barrier for interaction and communication, which isolates and decays cosmic structures.


 

Dark energy is still one of the parts of the universe that we don't fully understand, despite its possible significance. Its enigmatic character makes forecasting what will eventually happen to our cosmic home more difficult. Scientists are actively investigating a number of theories, such as the possibility that dark energy may change over time or that there may be other, less understood forms of physics that could explain the observed acceleration.


 

Dark energy is a mysterious factor in the vast fabric of the cosmos that casts doubt on our comprehension of the basic principles governing the universe. Although the observed faster expansion could be explained by its presence, the consequences for the universe's long-term fate raise serious concerns about what our universe's ultimate fate will be. The cosmic drama unfolds as we continue to solve the mysteries surrounding dark energy, presenting a story that goes well beyond what is now understood.

सहरी जीवन

प्रदूषणले भरिएकाे दु:खी जीवन

बिहानदेखि साँझसम्मकाे परिश्रम

 धेरै चुनाैतीकाे सामना गर्नुपर्ने 

धेरै सुविधाहरू बिचमा समस्या

यही त हाे मेराे सहरी जीवन,


 

देख्छन् सबैले खुसी मात्र सहरमा

दुखी जीवन कष्टकर छ सहरमा

खसीकाे लागि मर्नु पर्ने सहरमा

कैयाैँ खुसी देखेर मर्नु पर्ने रहरमा 


 

 

कसैलाई ध्यान कसैकाे नहुने

कसैकाे पीडाले कसैलाई नदुख्ने

कसैलाई नछुने मराे याे सहरमा

 बाँच्ने इच्छा हुँदा मर्नु पर्ने रहरमा ।



 

गाउँको अनुभूति बिर्सियाे सहरमा

दिनदिनै स्वच्छ हावा हराइरहेछ सहरमा 

खुसीकाे जिन्दगी बाँच्ने रहर सहरमा

रहरका लागि मानिस बाँचेका छन् सहरमा ।
