कोठाबाहिर गएपछि आएर तिमीलाई सम्झिन्छु,
निद्रा लाग्दा तिम्रो न्यानोपना सम्झिन्छु,
केही कार्य गर्न शान्त वातावरण तिमीनेरै पाउँदछु
ए कोठा ! तिमी कस्तो राम्रो ।
झगडा हुँदा तिमीनिर आउँदछु,
हाँस्न मन लाग्दा तिम्रै छेउ आउँदछु,
राती चलचित्र हेर्दा तिमी उद्धारकर्ता बन्दिन्छौ,
केही खान मन लागे तिमी मलाई लुकाउँदछौ,
ए कोठा ! तिमी कस्तो राम्रो ।
बाहिर हेर्न मन लाग्दा तिमी राम्रो दृश्य देखाउँछौ,
बाहिर चर्को घाम लाग्दा तिमी पर्दाको भागले मलाई बचाउँछाै,
बिजुली चम्कँदा मलाई सुरक्षित पार्दछौ,
घरको एक भाग भए पनि तिमी नै मलाई धेरै याद आउँछौ,
ए कोठा ! तिमी कस्तो राम्रो ।
समय बित्दै जान्छ,
मौसम बदलिँदै जान्छ,
साथी छुट्दै जान्छ,
तिमी मेरो साथ दिई त्यहीँको त्यहीँ हुन्छौ,
ए कोठा ! तिमी कस्तो राम्रो ।
बाहिर जाँदा मज्जा लाग्छ,
नयाँ ठाउँको कोठा राम्रै लाग्छ,
तर तिमीमा भएको रमाइलोपना ?

The ocean covers more than 70 percent of the surface of the Earth. Within the total, 97 percent of the Earth’s water can be found in the ocean. The ocean plays an important role in the climate of the Earth by helping in the regulation of heat and carbon dioxide levels. Ocean and climate change are interrelated. The Oceans are vulnerable to adverse impacts from the emission of greenhouse gases. Climate change can have huge effects on the ocean like water temperature changes, rise in the ocean water level, increase levels of ocean acidification, etc.
The ocean plays an important role in sustaining lives in the marine ecosystem. Harmful human activities affect the condition of the Ocean and disturb the marine ecosystem. One of the harmful effects of human activities is acidification. Due to the large scale of industries around the world, the waste thrown into the ocean has increased. Because of this pH level of the ocean has dropped. This poses a huge threat to the ocean and the marine ecosystem as the ocean ecosystem becomes more polluted. The rise in ocean temperature is also another main concern. The increasing temperature of the ocean caused stratification which hinders important processes such as photosynthesis and also disrupts the marine food chain. Due to this many marine species will be forced to migrate or also lead to their extinction which also affects the lives of the people depending on the ocean for food. Global warming also brings huge changes to the ocean. It increases the sea level of the Earth. Due to global warming, glaciers and icebergs are melting and cause water to flow in the ocean, adding to the amount of seawater. This causes an increase in the salinity of aquifers and estuaries which threaten aquatic animals and plants that cannot tolerate high levels of salinity.
स्वर्गजस्तो देश मेरो नरक नै भएछ,
दया, धर्म, न्याय, निसाफ सबै नै गएछ ।
माया अब कसका लागि कसले गर्ने ?
आखिरीमा सिधासाधा जनता नै मर्ने ।
हिजो पनि मर्ने यहाँ जनता नै थियो,
आज पनि मर्ने यहाँ जनता नै भयो ।
गरिबले रुन पनिआँसु पाउँदैन,
हाँसू भने खान, बस्न, गाँस, वास छैन ।
पाप अनि अपराध मात्र चल्यो चारैतिर,
अन्यायको जन्जिरले बाँधिने छ पिर ।
सोच्न सके सोच अझै बेला बाँकी नै छ,
कि त भोलि पनि यस्तै टोलाउनु नै छ ?
देश तिम्रो खेलौनाको गोटी हुँदै होइन,
जनता हो आँधी बुझ, आँधी थमिँदैन ।
A problem that no one talks about, but has been occurring every second is toxic masculinity. Toxic masculinity is an issue not openly discussed upon, mainly due to it being overshadowed by other problems and being disregarded as a problem. Basically, the term toxic masculinity refers to the harassment of men for not doing things they are “supposed” to do. I’m sure many of you have experienced this yourself. Statements like ‘man-up’ or ‘not a true man’ nowadays are very often used to discourage men who don’t follow the so-called conditions that society has created to become a man.
Just the thought of it is ridiculous. Since when does crying or showing emotions define gender or showing emotions doesn’t make you a man? How many times have you seen people being made fun of because they like the color pink or playing with dolls? This thing is mentally ingrained in the minds of people as if they have been programmed to think that men can’t do certain things. In this regard, I believe that toxic masculinity is a big problem that needs to be immediately addressed because this has daily been draining on the lives of many men even leading to depression and suicide.
नेपालको मानचित्र सानो देखिए पनि नेपालका सांस्कृतिक र प्राकृतिक सौर्न्दर्यहरू धेरै छन् । नेपालको उत्तरतर्फ चीन र पश्चिम, पूर्व, दक्षिणतर्फ भारतले घेरिएको छ ।
नेपालमा संसारभरिको सर्वोच्च हिमाल सगरमाथा छ । साथसाथै अरू हिमाल जस्तै कन्चन्जङ्घा, लोत्से, अन्नपूर्णलगायतका हिमाल पनि यहाँ रहेका छन् । नेपाल देशलाई हिमालय पर्वतकाे देश भनेर पनि चिनिन्छ । यहाँ खनिज पदर्थको पनि खानी रहेको छ । हिमालयबाट बगेको अटुट पानीले ४२००० मेगावाट बिजुली उत्पादन गर्ने क्षमता राख्दछ । तराईदेखि हिमालसम्मको छाेटाे यत्रामा पनि विभिन्न दृश्य, जडिबुटी तथा जनावरहरू देख्न पाइने ठाउँ हाे याे । यहाँका मानिसहरूका आआफ्नै संस्कृति र भाषा रहेका छन् । यहाँ तराईदेखि हिमालसम्म राई, लिम्बू, थारू, नेवार लगायतका विभिन्न संस्कृतिका मनिसको बसोबास छ । यहाँ पशुपतिनाथ, गुह्यश्वरी, स्वयम्भूजस्ता पवित्र धार्मिक स्थलहरू पनि रहेका छन् । यहाँ पाइने असङ्ख्य जडीबुटीले ओखती बनाएर विविध राेगबाट ग्रसित राेगीहरूकाे उपचार पनि गर्न मिल्छ ।
नेपालका यिनै विशेषताले गर्दा पर्यटकहरू नेपाल घुम्न आउँछन् जसले गर्दा देशलाई आर्थिक रूपमा सहयोग हुन्छ । त्यसैले यी सबै कुराहरूकाे संरक्षण गर्नु हरेक नेपालीको कर्तव्य हो ।
Wanting to learn more and more has always been my passion and I hope to have the same enthusiasm till my last breath. God really gave me the hunger to learn more along with the propensity of a master procrastinator. I love doing many things, but starting is the hard part and also being consistent. They say consistency is the key to success. Well, I don't see my success anytime soon if I don't work on improving things. But My habit is to learn new things and explore new things. Plus 2 is hard and for science students along with computer programming as their major, it gets tougher. I even hope I do overcome my laziness and remain consistent in what I have started. A part of me even loves trekking, going on an adventure, and above all listening to the stories of people. Maybe being a 16 year old is tough, my mind always finds something to do. I can't help myself from thinking, exploring, and learning. I really wish my craziness for all these sorts of things never faded out cause these mean happiness to me. As this period is adolescence period my mind goes somewhere else but I try to control it and focus on my studies. I think this period is a very tough period and if we don't control it then we will go in vain. We will damage our future if we do so.
संसारमा धेरै चलन र रीतिरिवाजहरू छन् तर धेरै कम चलनहरू संसारभरिका मानिसहरूले मनाउने गर्छन् । यिनै चलनहरूमध्ये अप्रिल १ मा मनाइने फुल्स डे पनि पर्दछ ।
अप्रिल १ लाई फुल्स डेका रूपमा मनाउने चलन फ्रान्सबाट सुरु भएको थियो । अहिले युरोप र पश्चिमी विश्वमा नयाँ वर्ष जनवरी १ मा मनाइन्छ तर १८ औँ शताब्दीमा फ्रान्स र अरू देशहरूमा अप्रिल १ लाई नयाँ वर्षका रूपमा मनाउने गरिन्थो । तर समय परिवर्तन हुँदै जाँदा फ्रान्समा पात्रो प्रणालीमा परिवर्तन आयो । नयाँ पात्रोअनुसार नयाँ वर्ष जनवरी १ मा मनाउनुपर्ने भयो । धेरै मानिसहरूले नयाँ पात्रोलाई मान्न थाले । तर नयाँ पात्रो नअपनाउने पनि धेरै मानिसहरू थिए । त्यस्ता व्यक्तिहरू नयाँ वर्ष अप्रिलको पहिलो दिन नै मानिरहेका थिए । ती मानिसहरूलाई मुर्ख भनी उनीहरूप्रति उपहास देखाउन धेरै व्यक्तिहरूले पहिलो अप्रिलको दिन ठट्टा गर्ने र एकअर्कालाई झुटो उपहार दिने चलन सुरु गरे ।
यसरी आज पनि हामी वास्तविकता बुझेर वा नबुझेरै पनि अप्रिल १ लाई फुल्स डेका रूपमा मनाउँछौँ ।
Last year, on the day of Christmas Eve we had a plan. I was so excited to have dinner at the hotel, as the day was Christmas, everywhere music and lights and enjoy with family. We moved to have dinner in the hotel. It was around 8 o'clock and lucky, that there was no traffic jam on the road. I was just thinking about food and music, suddenly we heard a loud horn. We stopped the car and saw that the car crash into an electric pole.
We rushed to the place to rescue the victim. The driver was badly injured. My father, including other people, helped him to come out. He was drunk and had a wound on his forehead. As soon as possible he was carried away to the hospital.
He was only the person in the car. The electric pole was also slanted a bit. The glasses of the car were also scattered in pieces and there was blood all over the car. After some time the traffic police arrived, he inquired the people and cleared the crowd.
It was my first experience witnessing such an accident. It was horrible as well as a scary experience of my life. After that incident, we didn't have that excitement so canceled the plan and headed back home.
खेलकुदले मान्छेको शारीरिक तथा मानसिक विकास गर्दछ । बच्चादेखि बुढासम्म सबैलाई खेलकुद उत्तिकै महत्त्वपूर्ण कुरा हो । पढाइ जति महत्त्वपूर्ण छ, खेलकुद पनि त्यति नै महत्त्वपूर्ण कुरा हो । मान्छे पढाइबाट जति अब्बल भइरहेका छन्, त्यति नै मात्र खेलकुदबाट पनि अघि बढिरहेका छन् ।
हाम्रो देश नेपालमा भने खेलकुदको केही महत्त्व नै छैन । एकातिर एउटा चर्चित राष्ट्रिय खेलाडी छ, उससँग उसलाई चाहिने सम्पूर्ण कुराहरू छन् र अर्कातिर एउटा साधारण सरकारी जागिरे छ भने हाम्रो समाजले सरकारी जागिरेलाई महान् देख्ने र खेलाडीलाई नकारात्मक दृष्टिले हेर्ने गर्दछ । अन्य देशको खेल हुँदा त्यो देशका मानिसहरूभन्दा बढी नेपालीहरू नै मक्ख पर्छन् । यो टाेलीले जित्छ भन्दै बाजी लगाउँछन् तर तिनै मानिसहरूको कुनै आफन्तले म नेपालका लागि खेल्न चाहन्छु भन्दा उनीहरू उसलाई होच्याउँछन्, खेल्नुभन्दा बरु पढ्नु नि भन्ने गर्दछन् । नेपालमा खेलकुदको वातावरण नै छैन । राम्रा राम्रा खेलाडीहरूले देशमा खेल्ने अवसर नपाएको कारणले गर्दा बिदेसिनु परेको छ । नेपाली महिला बास्केटबल टाेलीकी एक खेलाडीको खुट्टा राष्ट्रिय खेल खेल्दा भाँचिएको थियो तर उनको उपचारका लागि देशले केही पनि मद्दत गरेन । चाहेर पनि उनले देशका लागि खेल्न पाइनन् ।
हाम्रो देश नेपालमा खेलाडीका लागि सुविधा हुने हो भने हाम्रो देश पनि अघि बढ्ने छ तर अहिलेको स्थितिमा नेपालमा खेलेर बाँच्न सक्ने अवस्था नै छैन । आफ्नो देशलाई अगाडि बढाउने सोचमा रहेका खेलाडीहरूले बाध्य भएर छिमेकी देशका लागि खेल्नुपरिरहेको छ ।
Suzuki Satoru is the protagonist of the novel series Overlord. Overlord is a dark fantasy novel. Here, he is an undead that is similar to a skeleton with no flesh or skin. He has dull white bones and his eye sockets have red dots. He has a variety of clothes that he wears on a daily basis but his default battle gear remains the same. He has a red orb that floats in the stomach region. He wears a black robe over his body and head. He also has large shoulder pads that look like horns. Each of his ten fingers has a ring.
Suzuki was formerly from a dystopian future in a world set in 2138. It was a world where mega-corporations controlled everything. Education was made expensive so that only rich people could educate their children hence only their children could get high-paying jobs. His dad had died when Suzuki was very young and his mother had worked herself to death when he was in elementary school. Ever since then he had worked. Seeing dead children on his way to and from work was normal. He had no friends and family. The only thing he looked forward to after work was to play a virtual MMO game, using a chip implanted in his brain which everybody had, called Yggdrasil. He had made many friends in the game. They had gone on many adventures together as a guild and during their peak, they were ranked 9th among the world leaderboards. Their guild was named Ainz Ooal Gown and Suzuki was the guild master. There were conditions to be a member of the guild. They were:-
The in-game characters had to be of a heteromorphic race, which humanoid players got no penalties for killing.
The players had to be a functioning member of society.
Because of that most of his friends left the game due to work. He was alone yet he treasured the guild base and the NPCs that his friends made.
On the last day of the game, he had invited all the members for one last raid but only one player Herohero came. Since they couldn’t raid with just two players, they just chatted. Suzuki learned that Herohero had been overworking and wanted to rest. Although Suzuki wanted Herohero to remain with him till the server shut down, he reluctantly bade him farewell and waited for the server shutdown. Even after the server shutdown time had passed, he wasn’t forced to log out.
He then discovered that he and the guild base( Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick) both had been transported to a new fantasy world where magic exists. The NPCs made by his friends had come to life with their own souls and revered Ainz as a supreme being and the Overlord of Nazarick, a being who could do nothing wrong and his word was law. Their personalities and interactions with other NPCs matched that of the owners. This reminded Suzuki of his friends and not wanting to disappoint his friends’ children he adopts the role of a supreme overlord.
What is interesting and special about this character is not how he progresses as a character but how he affects the new world and the people in it. As soon as he came to the new world, he found out that the people of this world were way weaker than him and his NPCs yet he was very paranoid. Due to a series of misunderstandings, he acted as the overlord of Nazarick. The NPCs also assumed a speech given by him as a hint towards world domination. The NPCs worked hard for him to establish a country from which they could proceed to world domination. This causes humans and other beings in the new world to hate Suzuki. What Suzuki does is also not good. He lets most of the tasks be handled by NPCs and the NPCs are evil so they find the most sadistic ways to complete the missions assigned to them.
Suzuki Satoru is an interesting character and special to me because he is the villain of the story in a genre populated by Good Samaritan protagonists that do good to everybody. This is a break from other protagonists of the same genre.

If you are a typical-functional individual acquainted with technology, you probably share photos, posts, and other media on the internet to share your happiness and opinions with friends and family. However, have you ever spared a second to ponder where all your data and the data of millions of active users on the web goes? The Internet being a vast virtual domain where anyone can communicate with anyone under the right circumstances, the possibility of an accumulation of your personal data being auctioned off to the highest bidder is not unlikely in the slightest.
‘With over 640,000 new users joining the web on any given day’ (Our World in Data), the collection of user data and other information is increasing at an unstoppable rate. And, proportional to this user data theft and massive plot-holes in data protection have become more and more common in the present context. But, the idea of user privacy was open for debate, way back in the 2010s but even after a decade, nothing has improved. On the contrary, ‘online threats and data breaches have escalated 10-fold’ (Sahid). It is true that on a technological level, we have ascended far beyond what 2010 could offer, but the status of user privacy is evolving as well but backward. Not only people but massive corporations have been laid to waste due to data breaches and forced infiltration. However, it’s not just shady individuals like black-hat hackers that are responsible for the theft of our data, but well-known companies, and even the government is suspected of tracking user web activity to better insight on public ideas and opinions, even if that means violating user privacy.
However, rather than whining about our data being stolen and used for questionable things, we must find the root cause of this, right? But the truth is much bitter than we can accept. The whole issue of violation in privacy starts by a click, like literally. All the things we agree to, while setting up our devices or accessing something on the web, or just giving some sort of permission to apps or websites marks the beginning of our privacy being compromised. ‘About eight-in-ten Americans say they have to agree to privacy policies at least once a month’ (Auxier), this simply goes to show that to access the “free” and vast resources the internet has to offer, we have to agree to give up our privacy and secrecy in a way. This sure sounds like a deal with the devil, unparalleled access to anything and everything the web has to offer for the fair price of one’s privacy. But the violation of user data doesn’t stop here, under the cloaked excuse of ‘personalized user experience’ massive technology giants like Google themselves not only breach our privacy but also auction them off to “data brokers'', who further sell that to other companies. But why go to such lengths to busy some information on someone from a crowd of hundreds of thousands of people. The reason behind this is companies, especially ones operating online consider the whole of the internet an open ground for business, hence it is ‘quite handy for companies to increase revenue by displaying personalized Ads and products based on likes and dislikes of users’ (Ivana). And These are only the basics of the extent of how our personal data is constantly being misused.
In addition to this, cyber threats like hacking, phishing, online fraud, and so on fall under the base idea of privacy violation. Our virtualized data present on the internet is protected by nothing more than a series of code and not a physical material like security safe, so individuals like hackers can easily dig up information on our finances, family, and what not just by breaking the thin barrier of code. Under the guise of being more secure than ever, we are actually putting our information whether it be personal or professional at risk of getting stolen more easily and unknowingly. The data taken forcibly can be used to ‘make virtual and possibly erroneous versions of [users]’ (Melendez and Pasternack). Making you suspects and convicts for heinous crimes you never committed and things you never did. Ultimately just being present on the internet is a huge issue in itself.
If just attempting to utilize the internet comes at such a hefty cost, we should just disconnect our lives from the web and live a life with less virtual components like in the olden days. But the real question here is, how much of resorting to the old lifestyle before technology took over, is possible let alone practical? However, the problems the internet creates are ironically solved by the internet itself. As mentioned before, we are responsible for the breach of our own privacy so if we act on the root cause of the issue itself, we might be able to tackle it in one way or another. Limiting the things we agree to while surfing the web as well as, erasing tracks of our web activity may come as useful for combating data theft. However, the best solution is to minimize the use of the internet, the more we use it the more our web activity starts becoming a personalized user diary. Hence, ‘keeping a low profile on the web might save us the hassle of our privacy being compromised and breached’.
To conclude everything in one go, the internet isn’t the best or the most secure place to be sharing your information blindly. Every individual is responsible for their own safety while surfing the internet and one misclick may just cause us a great deal of trouble. Ultimately, there’s a high chance that the privacy we adore so much is likely being smuggled to brokers right under our nose, and carrying out necessary measures as well as abandoning the use of the internet is the best possible way of avoiding the Sale of our own Privacy.
