My friend, Irene loves to stay inside her room doing something on her own or writing something. She doesn’t love going outside, hanging out with her friends and visiting relatives. She can spend a pretty good time being alone the whole day. She thinks a lot and pens all her thoughts down in her diary. One day I happened to take a glance at her diary; to my wonder, I found out that she has composed quite a few very fine poems, not less than the legendary poets. She talks so little and I often find her boring- yet, her creativity to concretise her feelings is truly amazing. That’s what I like the most about her. Next my friend, Hani, is very fond of going out and she is a good conversationalist. She is smart and charms everybody with her presence. Wherever she goes, she is always surrounded by people. There’s something very appealing about her. She is really interesting and quite practical. But sometimes, I can sense a void inside her.

Yes, the matter I am trying to raise is the issue of extroverts and introverts. Both have their beauties and at the same time their cons. Extroverts intend to fascinate everybody with their presence in every aspect, whereas introverts delve into their own selves. In my opinion, the extremities of either are dangerous. Introverts disconnect themselves from the outer world which is not practical all the time because a time could come when she could be deserted by others. They could lose contact and loneliness could start haunting them. This could also sometimes lead to depression and other mental health issues.

Extroverts seem to be happy as they delight everybody with their exposure, but this doesn’t always make a good impression. Sometimes we often need solitude to discover ourselves. A sort of hollowness could be pinching them, in my opinion. A time could come when they could face an identity crisis. They could even find themselves splitted into different faces and could fail to catch their real identities. The point which is to be noted here is introverts are liked indirectly and extroverts directly. It might be fruitful for society, but deep hollowness that could come within individuals should be handled carefully. Nobody can help to crush our emptiness or the void that we carry, unless they know the tool to crush it: we know the tools much better.

Therefore, balancing both to the expected degree can sustain us. According to me, it gives us real identity and real happiness. That’s why, to me, the middle path is the best path. Being in the middle enables us to control our nature. It enables us to reach the height of self awareness, where we could find everything to be well balanced. Our awareness makes us blissful and peaceful. We are not even deterred by any hullabaloo. We remain constant like a steady burning candle amidst the wind… and there lies the true happiness and the real goal of life.

समयको शक्तिशाली र बलवान् छ । मानिसहरू एक समयमा धेरै शक्तिशाली देखिन सक्छन्, तर तिनीहरू अर्को समयमा धेरै कमजोर पनि हुन सक्छन् । समय एक बहुमूल्य चिज हो, र हामीले यसलाई बुद्धिमानीपूर्वक सही ठाउँमा प्रयोग गर्नुपर्छ । विश्वमा, समयकाे सही सदुपयाेग गर्ने मानिसहरूले मात्र सफलाकाे शिखर चुमेका छन् । संसारमा आफूलाई चिनाउन सफल भएका छन् । इतिहासका पानामा आफ्नाे नाम लेखाउन सफल भएका छन् । आजको बच्चा भोलि जवान बन्न सक्छ, आजको जवान भोलि बूढो बन्नै पर्छ। समयकाे महत्त्व सबैले बुझ्नैपर्छ । 
 

आजकाल मान्छेमा घमण्ड भनूँ कि अहङ्कार सम्बन्धहरू कसले पहिला  बोलाउँछन् भन्दैमा सकिन थालेको छ । यो कुरा ममा नै पनि लागु हुन्छ । पहिले बोलाउँदैमा  सम्मान अथवा केही घट्छ  होला तर त्यो सकिएको सम्बन्ध के त ? म आफैँ पहिला नबोलाउने भएकाले कति सम्बन्धहरू  पछाडि छुटाएकी छु। यसो याद गर्दागर्दै एउटा मनमा  आज  प्रश्न उठ्यो  साच्चै मेरो यस्तो बानीले मैले कति जना साथी गुमाए हुँला त ? तर अर्को मनमा छुट्टै प्रश्न आयो आखिर मैले नबोलाए पनि उनीहरूले   पनि त बोलाउन सक्थे । भनिन्छ नि मान्छेको बानी  परिसकेपछि त्यो मान्छेबाट लागेको बानीबाट छुट्न  गाह्रो  हुन्छ । साच्चै पनि हो रहेछ । त्यो मान्छे बोल्दा र नबोल्दाको फरक धेरै  हुने रहेछ । यस्ताे कुरा साथीभाइ वा प्रेमीप्रेमीका बीच त थियो तर मलाई आफ्नै बाबा र छोराछाेरीबिच नि त्यस्तो  ? कसले पहिला बोलाउने भनेर  विवाद आउँछ जस्तो लागेकै थिएन ।

हिजो घरको बैठक कोठामा मेरा आदरणीय ठुलो बाबालाई मैले सोधेँ  " ठुलोबुबा  हजुरले दाइलाई फोन  गर्नुभएको छैन रे त  "ठुलोबुबाको उतर आयो त्यसले चाहिँ मलाई   कहाँ गरेको छ  र ?"  यो सुनेर  खै किन  हो मेरो मनमा आचानक खुकुरी नै प्रहार भए जस्तो भयो । अनि यसो दाइलाई सम्झेँ   त्यो बिरानो सहरमा बसेको मेरो दाइलाई पक्कै यहाँ भएका मान्छेको याद त आउँछ होला । अनि याद आयो दाइ गएका दिनमा फोनमा नदेखिएका त्यी आँसुका  ढिका । मैले ठुलोबाबालाई धेरै सम्झाउन खोजे तर, खै ठुलोबुबा अझै पनि दाइले फोन गरेपछि मात्र उठाउनुहुन्छ । सायद ठुलो भएर हो कि के हो म बुझ्न सक्दिनँ।

अब हुन त आफ्नै हालत त्यही नै छ । म पनि कसैलाई पहिले बोलाउन चाहदिनँ । तर, कुनै बेला एउटा मान्छे  नि हुँदो रहेछ जोसँग बोलेपछि खुसी जस्तो मिल्ने रहेछ । तर त्यो मान्छेले मैले मात्र बोलाउने प्रतीक्षा गर्छ भने सधैँ म नै पहिले बोलाइराख्नु ? कसले पहिले बोलाउने को पहिला बोल्ने भनेर भाउ खोज्दाखोज्दै धेरै  सम्बन्धहरू त्यसै टुट्छन् । आखिर हुन त चाहे मित्रताको होस् या अरू सम्बन्ध  होस् दुवैबाट सम्बन्ध  जोगाउन कोसिस त हुनु पर्यो नि ।  सायद यही बुझेर म कोहीसँग पनि त्यस्तो धेरै बोल्न खोज्दिनँ तर, जुन सम्बन्धमा  कदर हुँदैन झन् त्यो सम्बन्ध त खै नुनविनाको खाना  जस्तै हुन्छ ।  त्यसैले सम्बन्धको कदर गर्नु ठुलो कुरा हो । सम्बन्ध जोगाउनका लागि दुवैतिरको साथ र सद्भावको आवश्यकता पर्छ ।  एउटा हातले मात्र ताली त बज्दैन सम्बन्धको के  कुरा गर्नु र ?  
 

Is it okay to not be okay?

I don't know what I've done or what I want,

But here I am, with all the guilt and stress. 

People ask ‘Are you okay?’-

And I respond with a smile on my face, ‘I am okay’, even if I know I am not okay.

How easy is it to lie to someone?

How easy it is to fake it, even when you know you are not okay?

I just want myself to be with;

Be lonely, and want no one around;

Yet I want to be cared and loved-

Want someone to be there beside me-

Despite having everyone around, 

Why do I feel excluded?

Why do I think I'm not okay when I know I'm okay?

I want to do something, 

But here I am, trembling around with nothing. 
 

Is this a time or phase in my life?

Where you feel like you aren't okay, even though you are. 

I don't know why I'm sad, but it is making me sad-

I try to be happy, but I can't. 

I think I've lost everything, even though I haven't.

I feel I don't have anything to do with life, 

Even though I have so much to do.

Am I okay?

I just wanna try to be okay, even though I don't know how?

Why do I feel this void right in my soul? 

हाँसखेल गर्दागर्दै बित्यो मेराे बाल्यकाल ।

कलिलो उमेरमा किताबको बोझले भयो बेहाल ।।

सानै हुँदा किताबको भारले दबेको बाल्यकाल ।

रमाइलो गर्न रोक्छ अहिले,बनेर पढाइ नै ढाल ।।

बाल्यकाल भने किताब रटान मै कति गए ।

मेरा  रमाइला क्षण यादमै सीमित रहे ।।

बरू आनन्द सानै हुँदा अहिले पो बोझ भयो ।

एक पलको हाँसो पनि देखी नसही छिनमै गायब भयो ।।

धेरै साथी भाइसँग सानैमा डुलियो खोलानाला ।

कहिले भकुन्डाे कहिले कबड्डी खेलेरै गयो कैयौँ छाला ।।

कहिले चुङ्गी त कहिले भकुन्डी खेलेर नै गए ।

निराश छु आज, ती पल याद मै सीमित रहे ।।

कुनै कारणवश कसैप्रति गरिने ईर्ष्या नै रिस हाे । हामीले जानअनजानमा गरेकाे गल्तीले रिसकाे भावना अरूमा पैदा हुन्छ । मानिसले आफूले चाहे वा खाेजेजस्ताे भएन भने मनिसलाई रिस उठ्छ । रिसकाे कारण खासै यही हाे भन्ने नभए पनि रिस मानिसमै रहने  अदृश्य तत्त्व हाे । रिस मानिसभित्र रहेकाे उसले व्यक्त गर्ने एउटा भावना पनि हाे । रिस कहिल्यै पनि कसैका लागि पनि राम्राे हुन सक्दैन । रिसले मानिसकाे नकारात्मक वा पक्षलाई व्यक्त गर्छ । मानिसमा निहित अत्यधिक रिसले विकराल समस्या निम्त्याउन सक्छ।

विभिन्न अध्ययनानुसार रिस हाइपोथालामसलाई उत्तेजित गर्ने एमिग्डालाले गर्ने डरको प्रतिक्रिया जस्तै हो । थप मस्तिष्कको प्रिफ्रन्टल कोर्टेक्सका भागहरूले पनि क्रोध प्रतिक्रियाको नियमनमा काम गर्न सक्छ । मस्तिष्कको यस क्षेत्रमा क्षति भएका मानिसहरूलाई कहिलेकाहीँ उनीहरूका भावनाहरू, विशेष गरी क्रोध र आक्रामक स्वरूप नियन्त्रण गर्न गाह्रो हुन्छ अनि रिस देखापर्छ ।

मानिसमा व्यवस्थित रिस एक उपयोगी भावना पनि हुन सक्छ, जसले मानिसलाई सकारात्मक परिवर्तनका कार्यहरू गर्न उत्प्रेरित गर्दछ । अर्कोतर्फ रिस एक शक्तिशाली भावना हो र यदि यसलाई उचित रूपमा नियन्त्रण गरिएन भने, मानिसहरूमा विनाशकारी परिणामहरू ल्याउन सक्छ । अनियन्त्रित क्रोधले तर्क, शारीरिक झगडा, दुर्व्यवहार, आक्रमण र आत्म-हानि निम्त्याउन सक्छ । मानिसमा उत्पन्न रिस व्यवस्थित रूपमा नियन्त्रण गरिएन भने, रिस नै हाम्रो ठुलो दुस्मन बन्न सक्छ । 
मानिसमा रिस उठ्ने धेरै कारणहरू छन् । कसैले आफूले भनेकाे कुरा मानेन भने रिसाउनु, कुनै काम बिग्रेमा रिसाउनु, कसैसँग कुरा मिलेन भने रिसाउनु, कसैले गाली गर्याे भने रिसाउनु, आफूले चाहेकाे सामान पाइएन भने रिसाउनु यस्ता थुप्रै कारणहरूले हामीलाई रिस उठ्छ । रिसले मानिसलाई कहिल्यै पनि फाइदा गर्दैन । रिसकाे मात्रा नाप्न पनि सकिदैन । रिसले विनाश निम्त्याउँछ त्यसैले रिस मानिसकाे शत्रु हाे र यसलाई काबुमा राख्न सक्नुपर्छ ।

Movie Review: Uncharted

Cast: Tom holland,Sophia Taylor Ali,Mark Wahlberg

Director:Ruben Fleisher

Studio: Sony picture

The movie, ‘Uncharted’ is an action adventure movie and was fantastic at the same time. We can literally explore many beautiful places through this movie! This movie is an adaptation of the video game named ‘Uncharted Series’. The audience loved the game and the movie was also of the same plot and the actors too did a great justice to the movie; the story of the movie is based on fiction.

In the movie, there is a boy named Nathan Drake who lived in a church during his childhood with his brother but one day when they were trying to steal a map they were caught and the brother of Nathan Drake was sent to prison. Then time jumps and the boy becomes an adult and starts working as a waiter in a restaurant but he also steals as he had a bad habit of stealing. Then another character named Victor Sullivan arrived and told him that he was a friend of his brother and they had done many adventures together. Here we found that his brother was dead and Victor Sullivan asked Nathan to help him to steal a golden key; At first, Nathan refused but later he agreed to help him. They went to a showcase of a museum where many things were going to be sold: Nathan not only found Victor Sullivan but many other people were also there to steal the golden key. After the rush battle, Nathan finally had got the key and later, they ran away. After that, they met another partner who was Chloe Frazer. She also helped them as she had another golden key. We found that all of this was happening for a treasure which had been explored by his brother but the enemies had killed him. They decoded different puzzles and kept moving forward with hiding and fighting. When they reached the destination, they found it was just one half of the map and explored more and found the map; but Chloe betrayed them and took the map but by following Chloe, they found that she was working for the villain named Santiago Moncada. She became the favorite but others did not like her. In the plane, another villain Jo Braddock killed Santiago and tried to kill Chloe but Nathan saved her; Victor took the map and suggested Nathan to jump with him by using a parachute but Nathan did not jump and waited for Chloe and eventually the epic plane battle started. At last Chloe and Nathan jumped and came to an island where victor was already waiting for them. At night, Nathan found the map coordinates and wrote it in a paper but in the morning. Nathan knew such a thing would happen, so he had put fake coordinates and then he went in search of treasure and found it. At the end, we come to know that Nathan was smart and had put some gold inside his pockets.

The movie was good and it shows that in today's world, humanity has ended and people just search for their personal benefits; so there are trust issues everywhere and this is the reason for war and conflicts as nobody trusts anybody. This movie taught us not to be greedy and it is important to trust at least a little bit. Humans are the ones who should believe in each other and save humanity.  
 

मुस्कान मात्र सँगाल्ने हाेइन यो जिन्दगी, 

आँसु पनि सँगाल्नु पर्ने  रहेछ जिन्दगी ।

वसन्त मात्र आउने रहेनछ जिन्दगीमा, 

तुषारे शिशिर पनि आँउदो रहेछ जिन्दगीमा । 

भरोसामा बाँच्न मात्र होइन यो जिन्दगी, 

आशामा पनि जिउनु पर्दो रहेछ, यो जिन्दगी ।

खुसी नै खुसी मात्र आउँदैन जिन्दगीमा, 

बिछोडको आँसु पनि आउँछ जिन्दगीमा । 

हाँसो र मुस्कान मात्र होइन जिन्दगी, 

आँसु र पीडाको सङ्गम पनि रहेछ  ।

विजय मात्र पक्कै हाेइन रहेछ जिन्दगी,

विजयसँगै पराजय पनि रहेछ जिन्दगी ।

जिन्दगी आफ्नै सुरमा चल्छ,

जाे चल्न जान्दैन ऊ गल्छ ।

सिर्जनाकाे मूल हाे जिन्दगी,

जहाँ बास्नादार फूल फुल्छ ।

Photographs are the perfect feed for social media or for some framework or a nice decoration for a house or workplace or anywhere possible nowadays. A photograph, commonly known as a photo, image or picture, would be defined as a picture made when light strikes a photosensitive surface, either a piece of film for photography or an electronic image sensor like a CCD or CMOS chip.

Nowadays, the majority of photos are taken with a smartphone/camera, which employs a lens to concentrate the scene's visible light wavelengths into a replica of what the human eye would perceive. Photography is the art and science of producing such images. I think it is more than just a digitally stored picture. A photograph is a picture that says more than any mouth can; a photograph brings back our memories that were lost and nowhere to be found and most importantly a photograph can be stored forever with the stories, both told and untold.

Our life is filled with many adventures, journeys and many memories of all kinds- happy, sad, embarrassing, romantic and many more. These kinds of memories are very special to all of us and photography is something that we could preserve forever. Even if we remember those moments, without a photograph, it cannot be completed.

Photography began in the late 1830’s in France. Ever since then, photography has been a very important part of our life. It helps us capture memories of all kinds and all times. It helps us bring back memories that were forgotten or were buried deep down in our hearts. Not only that, photographs also help us in the truth of the world, realise the beauty of many things and also realise our mistakes that we’ve been repeating since long, i.e it helps us reveal the truth of things hidden. Nowadays, photography is also taken as competition; surely the beauty of photographs is seen through it but the real perspective of photography is fading. People are starting to take photography as nothing but as a source of popularity and money. The memories meant to be captured are instead taken as pictures for all kinds of social media or for blogs, vlogs, etc.

People are forgetting what it is like to make memories and take the best shots of their memories and keep them safe. If we see, nowadays people don’t really have photo albums or some kind of photo frames with their recent or old memories captured. In conclusion, the concept of photographs should not be forgotten and be used for the purpose of making and capturing memories.
 

There once was a girl sweet and true,
Who captured my heart I never knew.
We're both sixteen, young and free,
In college together, just her and me.

She caught my eye in class one day,
With her smile and her gentle way.
I couldn't help but feel a spark,
As we talked and laughed in the park.

I'm in love with this girl- it's plain to see,
And I hope she feels the same for me.
We'll study hard and learn together,
And our love will keep growing stronger, forever.

So here's to my love- so bright and new,
I'll cherish her always, this much is true.
She's my best friend and my soulmate,
And with her by my side, I can conquer fate.
