पर्यटन गतिविधि, सेवा र उद्योगहरूको एक सङ्ग्रह हो, जसले यात्रा अनुभव प्रदान गर्दछ, यातायात, आवास, खाने र पिउने प्रतिष्ठानहरू, खुद्रा पसलहरू, मनोरञ्जन व्यवसायहरू, गतिविधि सुविधाहरू र घरबाट टाढा यात्रा गर्ने व्यक्ति वा समूहहरूका लागि सुविधा उपलब्ध गराउँछ। 

नेपाल सानो तर आकर्षक राष्ट्र हो । हाम्रो देशको लागि महत्त्वपूर्ण उद्योग पर्यटन हुन सक्छ। तराई र हिमालय क्षेत्रका राष्ट्रिय निकुञ्जहरू, सगरमाथा, सदाबहार हिमाली नदीहरू, हिमनदीहरू, विशाल तालहरू, रमणीय उपत्यकाहरू र मनमोहक झरनाहरू पर्यटकका लागि आकर्षण हुन् । अबको आकर्षण गौतम बुद्धको जन्म भएको ठाउ लुम्बिनी हुन सक्छ । यी सबै प्राकृतिक स्रोतहरू हाम्रो पर्यटन क्षेत्रको विकासको लागि महत्त्वपूर्ण छन् । विभिन्न प्रकारका पर्यटकहरू नेपाल आउँछन् । आगन्तुकहरू यस क्षेत्रको प्राकृतिक स्रोतहरू हेर्न वा यसको ऐतिहासिक र धार्मिक स्थलहरूको बारेमा जान्न आउँछन् ।

अन्य उद्योग स्थापना गर्न धेरै पैसा चाहिन्छ। यद्यपि, हाम्रो प्राकृतिक सौन्दर्य पर्यटकहरूको लागि प्रमुख आकर्षणको रूपमा काम गर्न सक्छ। पर्यटनका फाइदाहरू प्रत्यक्ष र अप्रत्यक्ष दुवै प्रकारका छन् । हामी पहिले होटलबाट सुरु गर्न सक्छौँ। हामी हाम्रा उत्पादनहरू बजारमा ल्याउन सक्छौँ। किसान आफैँले आफ्नो कृषि सामान बेच्ने अवसर छ।

तर केही आगन्तुकहरू आपराधिक प्रकृतिका हुन सक्छन् र उनीहरूले चाहेको बेला अपराध गर्छन् । यसले हाम्रो स्थापित संस्कृतिलाई असर गर्न सक्छ । यी सबैका लागि सुरक्षा व्यवस्था कडा हुनु आवश्यक छ, र हामीले अत्यधिक सावधानी अपनाउन आवश्यक छ । 

यो महत्त्वपूर्ण छ किनभने यसले शहरी क्षेत्रमा बसोबास गर्ने गरिब वा यातायातमा पहुँच नभएका हाम्रा नागरिकहरूलाई धेरै अवसरहरू दिन्छ । यदि सरकारले हाम्रो राष्ट्रलाई प्रभावकारी रूपमा प्रवर्द्धन गर्न सक्छ भने, पर्यटकको वृद्धिले हाम्रो अर्थतन्त्रलाई मद्दत गर्ने छ । 

What is Censorship?

Censorship refers to blocking or redacting information so people cannot access it. Censorship is implemented to redact harmful, misleading, or offensive content. Censorship is not just limited to the internet. It can be carried out in movies, songs, books, and newspapers as well. People need to be protected from any propaganda, hate speech, or misleading content. This is why countries have adopted policies to censor certain content that they deem harmful to their people. Censorship is a powerful tool. When done right, it brings peace and tranquility. However, if it is misused, it can start conflicts and bring civil unrest.

Nepal’s Controversial History of Censorship

The Constitution of Nepal outlaws all censorship in media. The constitution provides freedom of expression to citizens of Nepal. But in the years 2001-2002, due to the rising political opinions of many journalists, King Gynendra suspended the freedom of expression by censoring all the news headlines that talked badly of the government. Due to this, thousands of journalists were arrested by the authorities. This was a dark time for the people whose right to freedom of expression was being. 

The advent of democracy reinstalled the freedom of expression to the people. However, it still is heavily debated since there are many cases of popular news headlines by journalists being censored due to their content. Therefore, the situation is still in a gray area due to its unpredictable nature even to this day.

Censorship in the Internet and Cinema

The internet is controlled by the government here in Nepal. Any content that is deemed inappropriate will be censored for Nepalese citizens using the internet. This poses a dangerous threat to everyone since the government’s control of the internet causes freedom of speech to be suppressed. Some information may also be censored if the government deems it inappropriate. Many articles by journalists, some pages in Wikipedia, and websites of foreign news networks are blocked by the government of Nepal.

Social media is also heavily restricted. The recent TikTok ban on the 13th of November caused many discussions and sparked international debate. The government of Nepal has stated that the reason for the ban was due to the ‘Disruption of social harmony’.

Other social media sites also are not away from the government's control. Popular sites like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and X are also not safe from being censored by the government. It is ultimately very hard to find information that is censored by the government on the internet. It can only be accessed by using digital loopholes. The use of VPNs is also widely practiced by Nepalese citizens to evade the government's grasp.

The authorization of Films is also carried out by the government of Nepal. There are many reasons for films to be censored in Nepal. The reasons can be:

·                     Excess violence

·                     Gore

·                     Offensive language/hate speech

·                     Erotic/Lewd content

·                     Offense to religion

·                     Politically biased opinion

·                     Misinformation or propaganda

·                     Culture clash 

These are some of the reasons for a film being heavily censored or outright banned in Nepal. A recent example is the movie “Oppenheimer” which had two minutes of a scene censored. The main reason for this is the nudity present in the scene. This is why many people are dissatisfied with the government's choice to censor certain media. 

Nepal is a secular state even though the majority of its population is Hindu. For instance, Komal Oli is a famous singer and her songs are very popular. Her songs would be played on Radio Nepal due to their sheer popularity. Her Teej song was banned by the government for its erotic and abusive lyrics. In the song, she used the word ‘Badmas’ to refer to lord Shiva which was taken as offensive by the government and was banned.

Censorship for Political Advantage

There are many instances where the government has abused its power to censor media expressing political thoughts, ideas, or criticism. Pashupati Sharma is a famous Nepalese folk singer whose songs are widely listened to by the people. He has many hit songs. One of those songs was called, “Lutna Sake Lut Kancha”. This song was targeted at misconduct of the government of Nepal. The song said that Nepal is the only country where the government is free to loot people. This song has now been removed by the government.

Due to these actions, it is clear that the government does not hesitate to censor any media talking badly about the current political system. Any journalist who wants to expose or talk badly about the government is not free to do so. This leads to the same political parties being voted in over and over again.

Consequences: Silencing the Population

The consequences of censorship in Nepal are obvious. However, censorship is not the main issue here. The main issue is how censorship is being handled. We have seen that censorship is being misused. It has caused our freedom of expression to be controlled by the government, which in turn, is causing the population to be silenced.

It is without a doubt that if we don’t solve this problem, a dark future will await us. A future where every action of the population is being controlled by the government and your digital footprint can cause you to be persecuted. We need to act now for things to change, for the greater good.

“Peak performance in life isn’t about succeeding all the time or even being happy all the time. It’s often about compensating, adjusting, and doing the best you can with what you have right now.” -  Ken Ravizza

Introduction 

In the world of sports, the good athletes and great athletes are often differentiated by their psychology. Peak performance not only includes physical powers but it is dependent on mental strength and resilience. It’s not a switch button that an athlete can switch on before the match, instead it's a mindset that guides an athlete’s actions in every point of the game. Understanding the psychology of those individuals can unlock the door to excellence and success for many athletes, and helps them achieve remarkable results. 

Relation between Mind-body

As we know, a healthy environment leads to healthy life. Similarly, a healthy mind leads to a healthy body and vice versa. So in order to acquire the psychology of a peak performer, it is crucial to acknowledge the relationship between the mind and the body. Therefore, here are some psychological factors that contribute to peak performance: 

1. Self Confidence: Confidence is the center point for a peak performer. Unless one believes in his/her abilities, it's hard for them to achieve their desired goals. Failure has more to do with lack of belief rather than lack of skills. Peak performance is often guided by self confidence, as it's within themselves which keeps them motivated and performing at their best.  So building confidence involves positive thinking and the ability to bounce back from setbacks and the past. 
2. Visualization: If you can’ see then you can’t hit. Visualization and mental imagery are powerful tools for athletes. They have the “Big picture” in the mind they build up to accomplish their goals. It's necessary for one to understand the role of visualization in their career as they are able to see the future that lies ahead of them. 
3. Resilience: Peak performers are not afraid of falling or taking risks at the turning points. Everyone steps out of their comfort zone in order to achieve their goals. Instead of playing safe, they lay on the line even though the outcome may not be the same they had expected. An unsuccessful attempt will surely reward us with better and smarter abilities. 
4. Stress management: It is the ability to practice techniques and strategies to effectively handle and reduce stress and anxiety. In most cases, athletes often experience stress before, during and after competitions, which affects their performance. Techniques such as deep breathing, mindfulness, and progressive muscle relaxation can help athletes stay calm and work under pressure during the matches. 

Case study

Cristano Ronaldo, a football player, exemplifies the significance of the psychology of peak performance. His remarkable performance isn’t solely dependent on physical strength instead its mental resilience and discipline. The visualization, goals, self-confidence all these skills make him an excellent player and perform at the highest level. 

Moreover, basketball sensation Michale Jordan is another example. His mental strength, competitive field of view, and legendary ethics makes him one of the greatest players. The ability to stay calm and focused in every point allowed him to achieve the goals that he had wished for. 

Conclusion 

It's important for an athlete to recognize the need or crucial role of mental strength in achieving outstanding results. For me, it's not about winning everything, rather it's about being disciplined and training the mind to be different like mentioned above. Visualizing every obstacle, setting goals, maintaining stress, being self-confident, and building resilience helps to achieve peak performance. Overall, understanding these psychologies can help athletes of any level to play at their best

Introduction 

The prominent aspect that separates us humans from any other creature in this world is our communication and the development of language. Language is the most powerful weapon ever made. It is through the language that the information is being conveyed, and we have come to this level of advancement. The only purpose of language is also the same to spread awareness and develop understanding. Any language in this world does the same.

As a multilingual person myself, I would often question why I and many others in this world have to learn English. The young me was indeed curious but did not have an answer. Now that I have learned the reasons I have been able to sum up the question with one answer and that is to understand and communicate with the majority of people. But to dig deep and understand the question thoroughly, I would like to present a few points:

Universal language

The primary motivation to learn English or speak English lies in its status of being a universal language. It is widely practiced and almost accepted all over the world. English, being comprehensible to a vast audience, acts as a conduit for effective expression and communication. Essentially, practicing English fosters unity and brotherhood. It is due to its universal appeal that it transcends barriers allowing people to share ideas, thoughts and emotions seamlessly.  The advantages of having a universal language extend beyond mere communication. Ability to speak English offers a wide range of opportunities ranging from employment prospects to travel experiences and global connectivity.

Education and Academic Dominance 

The vast majority of research papers, conferences and scientific publications were conducted in English. This implies that the potential students willing to contribute in research and education sectors have to have an ability with English. There are several scientific  terms and references that are only accessible using English. The very reason why in many prestigious universities English is a prerequisite to have. Without having the ability to comprehend English limits scholars with wide resources and information.

Global Business and Employment Opportunities

Learning English opens doors for individuals to a global job market, providing diverse employment opportunities and the ability to work in different countries and across cultures. English serves as the common platform for people across the cultures and diversities to project and discuss ideas and strategies clearly and efficiently. This helps in attending the better understanding of targeted subjects and results in better cooperation and output.

Technology

Similar to business English is the common platform to the people engaged in technology. Tech industry consists of people and contributors worldwide. These people bringing advancements are diverse and have differences. So English provides them an opportunity where everyone is equal and can convey their ideas, strategies and discoveries .English enables individuals to participate in global tech communities, extend networks, collaborate in open source projects and stay at the forefront of technological developments.

Globalization and Global fraternity

As globalization is the reality we live in, we are all aware how interconnected our world is. And how we are not very different in experiencing similar problems like any other person coming from whatever background. It is a key element that fosters better understanding, developing connections, transcending barriers, and promoting humanity. English enables individuals and groups to be a part of an interconnected and interdependent world . It actually serves a medium for individuals willing to actively participate in global dialog whether in business, academia, and overall development. 

Conclusion

With the above points I think it is quite clear that English has an indispensable impact in our lives. And learning English enables people to thrive to diverse potentials and experiences. English is a gateway to collaborations, connections, interactions, communication and numerous opportunities. While recognizing the insane advantages of English as a language this does not mean one should disregard their own culture by stating it as inferior. We have to appreciate our culture that makes us stand out in the world but in the process we must be open to the agents and mediums like the English language that fosters unity and brotherhood by somewhat reducing differences prevailed in individuals and groups.

बच्चामा आफ्नो परवाह नगरी हुर्काए 

जति नै गाह्राे पर्दा पनि हात थामेर साथ आए 

नराम्रो गर्दा थप्पड लगाई कराए 

गलतलाई गलत र सहीलाई सही भनि सम्झाए । 

सायद त्यही नै थियो तपाईंको प्रेम जुन मैले बुझ्न सकिन

कसरी तिरूँ ऋण तपाईंको

माफ गर्दिनु केही दिन सकिन

बुबा आमा तपाईं यो संसारमै महान् 

दिनुभयो मलाई साहस, हिम्मत र प्रेमको ज्ञान 

आउनुभयॊ तपाईं यो सहर ल्याई जम्मा एउटा बोरा रे 

तपाईको नाक ठूलो बनाउँछ तपाइको यो छोराले 

त्यो बेला परिश्रम गर्नुभयो खानु भएन हार 

तपाई‌कै मेहेनतले आज चढी हिड्न पाएको छु मैले कार 

गरे गल्ति सम्झा भाे परे पिट्नु पनि भयो होला 

तपाईंको त्यही मायाले आज सफल भाको छ यो छोरा 

त्यो बेला लाग्थ्यो कुट्नुहुन्छ मलाई के माया छैन र 

अहिले थाहा हुँदै 

सफा गर्नु भाको रैछ हुन लागेको रैचु म फोहोर 

कति पैसा गयो तपाई‌ंको परिश्रम पनि मलाई पढाउन 

म चाहिँ आल्छि गर्थेँ तपाई‌ंको पैसा सकाउन 

बैस लाग्यो मलाई अज्ञानी म थाले तपाई‌ंलाई हप्काउन 

गल्ती भयो भिख माग्दै छु तपाई‌ंबाट माफ पाउन 

थिएन मेरो मन कालो सधैँ थिए गोराे 

माफ चाहिँ दिनु मलाई भए म अज्ञानी छोरा 

अल्लि पख्नू बाबा हजुरको नाम म उच्च पर्छु ।।

Oh blimey,

What a thing to be seen.

A young child scattered within dreams.

A dream of wander, 

Mind so free, sight captivated in a glee,

Such innocence never failed to be believed. 

They dance with fairies and chase butterflies,

With everything to do, the world is their prize. 

Let them dream, 

For dreams have the power to redeem.

Within their dreams will they discover,

The strength to overcome and uncover.

In the realm of imagination, they find,

The courage to chase dreams of every kind.

Their visions might shape a world anew

A world ‘one of a kind’

Where possibilities might brew.

So let them dream, 

For dreams will they find a way,

Guided, will seize their day. 

विद्यार्थी जीवनमा ठूलो भूमिका खेल्ने मुख्य परीक्षा एसइई । हाम्रो परीक्षा हुँदा सबैमा डर थियो तर बिस्तारै हामी बानी पर्यौं ।  एक हप्ता र केही दिनपछि अन्ततः परीक्षा समाप्त भयो । परीक्षापछि सबैले बाहिर जाने र रमाइलो गर्ने योजना बनाए र हामी गयौँ पनि । 

परीक्षाका अन्तिम दिन लगभग ९:३० बजे हामीले परीक्षा समाप्त गर्यौं र लगभग १० बजे हामी सबै रमाइलो गर्न निस्कियौँ । हामीसँग तीन महिनाको छुट्टी थियो । ३ महिना बिदा भए पनि नतिजा देखेर सबै डराए । मलाई विश्वास थियो,  मेरो राम्रो परीक्षा हुने छ । गरेकी छु तर पनि मनै त कहाँ मान्थ्याे र !  भित्रभित्रै एक प्रकारकाे डर थियाे नै । जे होस् हामी साथीहरूसँग बाहिर निस्कियौं र समूह अलग भयो । आधा त्यहाँ आधा यहाँ हामी कहाँ जाने निश्चित थिएन त्यसैले म र मेरा दुई साथीहरू कतै जाने निर्णय गर्याैँ । मेरो एक साथीले भाग्ने कोठामा जाने निर्णय गरे र हामी सहमत भयौं तर हामीलाई लैजानु पर्ने साथीलाई त्यो ठाउँको बाटो थाहा थिएन। हामी डेढ घण्टा जति धेरै नचिने ठाउँहरू हिँड्यौं र त्यहाँका मानिसहरूलाई मोबाइल सोधेर ठाउँ खोज्यौँ । 

हामी अन्ततः ठाउँमा पुग्यौं र त्यो बन्द भयो। त्यसपछि हामीले भोक लागेकोले केही खाने निर्णय गर्यौं। हामी नजिकैको क्याफेमा गएर खाना खायौं। त्यसपछि हामी साथीको घरमा गयौं किनभने हाम्रो घर नजिकै भएकोले हाम्रा आमाबुवाले खासै वास्ता गर्नुभएन र म ६ वा ६:३० बजे घर पुगेँ । परीक्षापछिको पहिलो दिन राम्रो भयो र मैले धेरै रमाइलो गरेँ ।

केही दिनको लागि म १० मा ब्युँझेँ किनभने म पढ्नको लागि दैनिक ४ बजे उठ्थेँ । मैले बिहानको खाजा खाएँ र त्यस दिन केही गर्नुभएन किनकि सबै व्यस्त थि । सुतेको कारण सबै थाकेका थिए र मोबाइल हेरेर दिन बर्बाद गरेँ । मैले पहिले जस्तै साथीहरूसँग कुरा गरे तर सबैलाई थाहा थियो कि हाम्रो सम्बन्ध बिस्तारै टुट्ने छ। तर मैले अझै म्यासेज गरिरहे र मेरा ती दुई साथीहरूले बाहिर जाने निर्णय गरे र हामी प्राय: धेरै दिनको लागि बाहिर गयौं । अहिलेसम्म आधा बिदा बितिसकेको थियो अब २ वटा मात्रै बाँकी थियो । बिस्तारै मेरा साथीहरूले के अध्ययन गर्ने भनेर निर्णय गर्न थाले र मैले पनि यो सोच्नु पर्यो। अब मसँग व्यवस्थापन र विज्ञान बीचको विकल्प थियो । धेरै सोचेर मैले विज्ञानको लागि ब्रिजकोज पढ्ने निर्णय गरेँ र मेरो एक साथी ब्राइडकोर्समा गए । अबदेखि एक फरक जीवन सुरु भयो। ब्रिजकोरको पहिलो दिन र हामीले अध्ययन गर्यौं र नयाँ साथीहरू बनायौँ र रमाइलो गर्यौँ।  पढाइले दिन बित्दै थियो र बिदा पनि घट्दै गयो । 

मैले विषय छनोट गर्ने निर्णय गर्नुपर्‍यो र काउन्सिलिङको लागि कलेज पनि खुल्न थाले । मैले विज्ञान पढ्ने निर्णय गरे र म र मेरो साथीले सिफल स्कुल जाने निर्णय गरेँ र हामी काउन्सिलिङका लागि गयौँ । कलेज राम्रो थियो तर म अझै यसको लागि तयार थिइनँ  तर पनि मैले प्रवेश परीक्षा दिए र म पास भएँ । म काउन्सिलिङका लागि अन्य कलेजमा पनि गइनँ र केही हप्तापछि सिफल स्कुलमा भर्ना भएँ ।

ती हप्ताहरू बीचमा मैले मेरा साथीहरूसँग बाहिर जाँदा रमाइलो गरेँ र अद्भूत सम्झनाहरू थिए । सबैजना फरक फरक कोलाजमा आउन थाले र हामी सबै अलग भयौँ । मैले मेरो स्कुलको साथी एउटै कलेजमा पाए पनि हामी अब कुरा गर्दैनौँ । बिस्तारै धेरै हप्तापछि मेरा साथीहरू कलेज गर्न थाले र सबैले फरक जीवन सुरु गरेँ । हाम्रो बाटो फरक भए पनि म हाम्रा सुन्दर सम्झनाहरू सम्झन्छु र मेरा साथीहरूलाई सम्झन्छु । मेरो कोलाज सुरु भयो र म पनि त्यसमा गएँ र पहिलो दिनमा मैले मेरा पुराना साथीहरूलाई नराम्ररी मिस गरिरहेको थिएँ । बिस्तारै धेरै हप्तापछि मैले मेरा प्रत्येक नयाँ साथीहरूसँग चिना परिचय आदानप्रदान गरेँ  

दिनहरू रमाइला अनि बेग्लै अनुभूतसहित बितिरहेछन् । 

बाकीँ अनुभव अर्काे लेखमा ल !

 लागि राम्रो बस्ने ठाउँ र वातावरण चाहिन्छ।  यदि पर्यटकको लागि राम्रो बस्ने ठाउँ भएन भने उनीहरू नेपाल आउँन छाेड्छन् । त्यो कुरा न हुन दिनको लागि हामीले राम्रो ठाउँहरूको निर्मानेपाल पर्यटनकाे राम्राे सम्भावना बाेकेकाे देश हाे । कुनै पनि देशले आर्थिक रूपमा छिटाे विकास गर्न चाहन्छ भने त्यसले पर्यटनको महत्त्व बुझेर पर्यटकका लागि चाहिने सबै पूर्वाधारकाे विकासमा लाग्नुपर्छ । नेपालमा सन् १९६० को दशक अगाडि पर्यटन उद्योग वा व्यवसायबाट हुने आम्दानीलाई त्यति महत्त्व दिइएको थिएन । त्यसपछि प्रायः सबैजसो देशहरूले यसलाई वैदेशिक मुद्रा आर्जन गर्ने मुख्य माध्यम ठाने, र अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय पर्यटन गतिविधि तीव्र रूपमा अगाडि बढ्यो । तब यसले आन्तरिक विकास बढाएको, देशको गार्हस्थ उत्पादन, प्रतिव्यक्ति आय, राष्ट्रिय आय बढाउनुका साथै ठुला तथा घरेलु उद्योग र उत्पादनमा वृद्धि गराउन थाल्याे । पर्यटककाे वृद्धिसँगै बेरोजगारी समस्या कम हुने र प्रत्यक्ष रूपमा आर्थिक क्रियाकलापहरूमासमेत यसले प्रभाव पार्न थाल्याे ।  त्यसपछि पर्यटन क्षेत्रकाे महत्त्व बढ्दै जान पनि थाल्याे ।

खास गरी पर्यटन व्यवसायबाट नेपालजस्ता देशहरूले भरपुर फाइदा लिन सक्छन् । पर्यटन क्षेत्रले नेपालकाे राष्ट्रिय आम्दानीमा वृद्धि भइरहेको छ । हाम्रो देश नेपाल सुन्दरताकाे खानी हाे । हाम्राे देशलाई प्रकृतिले धेरै कुरा दिएकाे छ । विश्वका हिमालहरूमध्ये धेरै अग्ला हिमालहरू नेपालमै रहेका छन् । यी हिमालले नेपालकाे सुन्दरता बढाउने काम गरेका छन् । यस्तै यहाँका हरिया वनजङ्गल र सुन्दर पहाडले पर्यटककाे मन लाेभ्याएका छन् । नेपालका विभिन्न ताल खाेलानाला झरना आदि हेर्नका लागि बर्सेनि विभिन्न स्वदेशी तथा  विदेशी पर्यटककाे भिड लाग्ने गर्छ । त्यसैले नेपाल पर्यटनकाे राम्राे सम्भावना बाेकेकाे मुलुक हाे ।

The Skinwalkers are an ancient folklore and myth that originated in America in the 1800s. The origins of encounters of the Skinwalkers first came from the Navajo tribe. The Navajo tribe is a tribe of Native Americans whose earliest settlements lay in the southwestern parts of the United States. The Navajo people tell stories about strange things that creep and crawl around the wild desert expanses and the forests of America. One of the famous stories of their people is of the legend about evil witches. They call these witches “Venaldooshi” in their native language. The Venaldooshi are those types of witches that walk on all four legs which are also called Skinwalkers. Such a creature is considered half person and half animal. The legend starts with a medicine man or woman who once used to use their power of healing for good but for some reason, they turned evil and murdered and ate the flesh of their human victims and so they were cursed. Due to that reason, they are believed to be immortal and the only way to kill them is to destroy their animal form.

The Skinwalkers are considered to bring pain and suffering to their victims and in the legend the Skinwalkers crawl into a person's mind and control them. They can make them hear things and see things that are not really there. While the Navajo people have passed down their myths and legends throughout the generations there are some modern-day people who say that they have seen a Skinwalker. The Navajo people say that in the morning the Skinwalker acts like a normal person but at night they change back to a man-animal hybrid who looks like an animal but walks on two legs and is as smart as a human. 

In one of the stories shared by a native American, The man says that he saw a Skinwalker during one of his hunting chores. The man claims that when he was hunting deer he saw a wolf standing on two legs. He proceeded to shoot the wolf for safety because his house was near that area as well as for the wolf's fur. But when he shot the wolf down and approached the wolf or what he thought was a wolf, he saw an animal-man hybrid in front of him. The man said that he looked like a dog in a man's body. The man was scared because he thought that he had killed someone so he buried the body in a hole and ran. 

The man told that story on his deathbed. 

The Navajo people said that the story that the man told was probably true because a Skinwalker can only die in animal form and their curse gets lifted when they die. The legend of the Skinwalkers is not well understood outside of Navajo culture. This is mainly due to the Navajo people's unwillingness to talk about the Skinwalkers because they think that if they talk about them they will attract the Skinwalkers to them. Traditional Navajo people are reluctant to reveal skin-walker lore to non-Navajos or to discuss it at all among those they do not trust. Due to this, the lore behind the Skinwalkers is not completely known and the whole legend is like a puzzle with missing pieces and mysteries.

Obesity is a big problem all around the world. According to the WHO, the number of overweight and obese people has tripled since 1975. Right now, there are more than 1.9 billion adults who are overweight and over 650 million who are obese.  

This is a serious issue as being obese can lead to various health problems including heart problems, strokes, diabetes, and some kinds of cancer. To help you understand how big this problem is, think about all the overweight and obese people in the world. If they were put together, they would be the third-largest group of people in the world, just after China and India.

Obesity is caused by the people themselves. Most people become obese due to unhealthy eating habits namely eating packaged or junk foods rather than healthy food. The required nutrients, carbohydrates are not attained with excessive use of junk foods. Without eating healthy food, no person can hope to become healthy.  The lack of physical activity can also lead to obesity. Without any physical activity, the fats don’t burn and thus store in the body resulting in obesity. 

Emotional factors developed due to bullying, depression causes obesity. Rather, it messes up the individual’s well-being to cause them to do abnormal things. One such case is excessive eating. With excessive eating, no physical activity being stored in the room can also in some way contribute to obesity. Medical conditions like underactive thyroid, Cushing syndrome and polycystic ovary syndrome also contribute to obesity. 

Obesity is just the beginning of bad well-being. Physically, being obese amplifies the risk of severe ailments like heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. The simple act of moving becomes difficult, chipping away at both mobility and independence. Beyond the individual, the societal impact is notable, escalating healthcare costs and impacting communities. In addressing obesity, we're not only championing personal health but also weaving a fabric of communal well-being.

An obesogenic environment refers to the various external factors and conditions in our modern society that promote unhealthy eating habits, sedentary lifestyles, and ultimately contribute to the rising rates of obesity. It's an environment that makes it easier for people to gain weight and harder for them to maintain a healthy weight. Weight bias in healthcare refers to the negative attitudes, stereotypes, and discriminatory behavior that healthcare professionals may exhibit toward individuals who are overweight or obese. It can have serious consequences for the physical and mental health of these patients.

Now, is there a role of the government in controlling obesity? Well yes, but taking measures like allowing good healthy food, keeping spaces for physical activities and such are already responsibilities the government holds. It is not really a big idea that shall only help the obese people. To control obesity, it is the duty and responsibility of oneself. Keeping our body healthy and taking care of it is the most normal and basic thing anyone can do. So why ruin it and make matters worse?

In conclusion, the battle against obesity is not just about shedding pounds; it's about reclaiming lives, rebuilding health, and redefining our future. The path to a healthier world requires a collective commitment. By adopting healthier eating habits, increasing physical activity, fostering an environment, and promoting awareness, we can begin to chip away at the obesity epidemic. 

भ्रमण जाने कुराले हाेला म अघिल्लो दिनबाट धेरै उत्साहित थिएँ । बिहान पनि छिट्टै आँखा खुले । घाम कहिले उदाउने हो भनी सोचिरहेको थिएँ । म मेरो नयाँ दिन नयाँ जीवनको साथ सुरु गर्न रातभर उत्सुकतापूर्वक पर्खिरहेको थिएँ । 

कोठातर्फ उज्यालोका  किरणहरू आउँदा सूर्यको गुलाबले मेरो अनुहारमा मिठो मुस्कान ल्यायो । 

कक्षा ९ मा पढ्ने हामी चित्लाङसम्मकाे यात्रा गर्दै थियाै । कोभिडले संसार अस्तव्यस्त भएकाे बेला हामी पनि पूर्ण रूपमा समस्यामा थियौं तर जोखिम मोलेर पनि विद्यालयले हामीलाई भ्रमणमा गयौँ  । यसमाने पनि म निकै खुशी छु त्याे पल सम्झदा ।

जाने त्याे दिन भोलिपल्ट बिहान ४ बजे मेरो बुबाले मलाई विद्यालयतिर लैजानुभयो । मैले टर्च लाइट बिर्सें । टर्च लाइट किन्न गएँ । बिहानै भएर हाेला पाउनै मुश्किल । बल्लबल्ल टर्च लाइट किनेपछि हामी हाम्रो आफ्नै स्कुल बसतिर लाग्यौं । 

हाम्रो स्कुलको बसले हामीलाई थानकोटतर्फ लग्यो र हामीलाई त्यहाँ झार्याे । हामीलाई नयाँ डिलक्स बसमा बस्न भनियो ।

 खै के कुरामा हाे, हाम्रो ड्राइभरलाई गाइडले गाली गर्यो त्यसपछि ड्राइभरले आफ्नो मनोवृत्ति देखाउन थाल्यो जसको कारण चालक र गाइड बीच झगडा भयो । हाम्रो चालकले हाम्रो गाइडलाई नराम्ररी अपमान गरेको थियो। 

झगडा  लामाे झण्डै दुई बजेसम्म जारी रह्यो । त्यसपछि हाम्रो सिद्धान्तले पुलिसलाई बोलायो र ड्राइभरलाई लगियो जहाँ हामी अर्को बसमा गयौं र धेरै रमाइलो गर्यौं । तर दुर्भाग्य बसको टायर पङ्चर भयो । त्यो नराम्रो घटनापछि हामी सबै समस्यामा थियौँ । हामीले आफूलाई शान्त पार्ने प्रयास गर्यौं। हामीलाई बाटोमा बस्न भनियो । हामीले हाम्रो सबै खाजा खायौँ र अन्त्यमा बसको थकान फिक्स भयो र मिठाे मुस्कानका साथ हामी आ-आफ्नो सिटमा बस्यौं । साँझ पाँच बजे हामीलाई हाम्रो कोठामा पठाइयो र एक घण्टा आराम गर्न भनियो र साँझ ६ बजे हामी फर्पिङ पुलमा गयौँ र धेरै प्रजातिका माछाहरू पौडी खेलिरहेका देख्यौँ। गाइडले हामीलाई पाैडिन पनि सकिन्छ भन्ने कुरा राखे । 

मेरो साथी पानीसँग डराएको थियो उसलाई पाैडि खेल्न आउँदैनथ्याे । पछि ऊ पनि पाैडिनका लागि तयार भयाे । हामीले पौडी खेल्यौं । बेलुका ८ बजे हाम्रो गाइडले हामीलाई त्यहाँ उपलब्ध वनस्पति र जीवजन्तुहरूको बारेमा पनि जानकारी दिए ।  त्यहाँ वनस्पति र जीवजन्तुका विभिन्न प्रजातिहरू थिए जुन धेरै चाखलाग्दो थिए । 

हामी पनिर उत्पादन क्षेत्रमा गयौँ र त्यहाँ उपलब्ध पनिर धेरै स्वच्छ र स्वादिष्ट थियो । त्यहाँ उपलब्ध बटर र मासु धेरै स्वादिष्ट थियो तर त्यहाँको शाैचालय भने फोहोर थियो । स्थानीयहरू आफ्नो जीवनको लागि कडा परिश्रम गरिरहेका थिए । त्यहाँ गाई र भैंसीहरूले गाउँ धेरै रमाइलाे भएकाे मैले अनुभूत गरेँ । 

त्याे रात खासै निद्रा पनि लागेन । हामी जम्मा ३ घण्टा सुतेछाैँ । बिहान हाम्रा साथीहरूले हामीलाई फोन गरे र हामी न्यानो बिहान उठ्यौं । 

हाम्रो गाइड कोभिडबाट सङ्क्रमित भएको सुनिएको थियो । डरले हाम सबै जना आत्तिएका थियाे । परिस्थिति नै त्यस्तै थियाे । तर त्याे गलत रहेछ । त्यसपछि हामी भीमफेदीतर्फ लाग्यौं । हामीले बिहानी खाजाका रूपमा स्थानीय कुखुरा खायौँ र हाम्रो सुटकेस प्याक गर्यौं । भीमफेदी राम्रो र सुन्दर ठाउँ थियो ।

हामीले एउटा ठाउँ देख्यौं जहाँ हाम्रा बहादुर पुर्खाहरूले पहिलो नेपाली कार बोकेका थिए । हामी यो कुरा सुनेर धेरै खुसी भयौँ तब हामी माछाको बारेमा जान्नको लागि फर्पिङमा गयौँ । 

दिन बित्यो र हामीले हाम्रो कार्यभार ९ बजे सुरु गर्‍यौँ र लगभग २ बजे पूरा गर्‍यौं । हामी स्याउको जुस पसलतर्फ लाग्यौं जहाँ हामीले स्याउबाट जुस कसरी बन्दाे रहेछ भनेर सिक्ने अवसर पायाैँ । हामीले जुस उत्पादन गर्ने मेसिनको मेकानिजम जस्ता विभिन्न कुराहरू सिकेका थियौँ । यो कुनै पनि रसायनको मिश्रण बिना एक अर्गानिक रस थियो । हामीले जुस पनि पियाैँ । राती पनि फायरफ्लाइहरू देख्यौँ । 

घुम्न पाउनु कसका लागि रमाइलाे नहाेला र ! नयाँ ठाउँ, नयाँ  परिवेश नयाँ वातावरण साच्चिकै याे यात्रा मेरा लागि पनि अविस्मरणीय रह्याे ।
