पानी
- Diya Bajracharya - 23021, Gra ... 20 April, 2022

जब अरूले सोध्छन् कि तपाईंले किन वर्षा, 

समुद्र वा नदीको कदर गर्नुहुन्छ ?

तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुहोस्, किनभने

 मानिसहरूले तपाईंलाई अझ राम्ररी माया गर्नुपर्थ्यो,

 पानीले तपाईंलाई छुन कहिल्यै डराएको थिएन,

 तपाईं भित्रबाट भाँचिँदा र घाइते हुँदा पनि

पानीले तपाईंलाई कहिल्यै छोड्ने छैन ।


 

प्रेम सधैँ धेरै हुन्छ,

 गहिरो खोलाको पानीजस्तै

तर हामीले बनाउन सकेनौँ,

लहरहरूसँगकाे नाच,

समुद्रमा सार्नुहोस्,

पानीले तपाईंको आत्मालाई स्वतन्त्र बनाउँछ,

पानीभित्र झरेर डुब्नुहुन्न,

 तपाईं त्यसमा बसेर जित्नुहुन्छ ।


 

गहिरो पानी जीवनजस्तै हो,

किनभने यसको गहिराइमा अन्त्य हुन्छ,

 जीवनको पनि कुनै दिन अन्त्य हुन्छ ।

Is it okay to use animals in a circus?
- Ishu Shiwakoti - 22009, Grade ... 19 April, 2022

Animals should not be used for entertainment purposes as have been used in circuses. Animal-free performances should be given more priority and using animals should be discarded. It  is unethical to use animals just because they can’t speak or share their pain. We, as a human being, considered as intelligent one, must ensure animal safety in context to circuses or any kind of shows. 

Using animals is unethical because animals are forced to perform tricks against their will. Animals are compelled to follow the given task no matter what. Trainers in some circus and shows mostly use whips and other mediums to force animals to perform and learn tricks. Animals should not be treated in this manner because it is cruel, and inhumane and against the law, as animals have rights too. Frequent cruel punishment they endured to learn the tricks, they snap and go on reckless rampages, putting many people's lives in danger. 

The reason behind using animal tricks is people find those tricks more entertaining and interesting as well, once it is stopped they would stop going to the circus, in shows because the animals are usually the main attraction in many shows. Many people would lose their jobs, and many more would lose a significant amount of money. Because of these reasons, the use of animals is increasing rather than decreasing. But to earn money, secure a job humans don’t have the right to use animals and harm them. There are different ways to attract people, one shouldn’t rely on animals. 

To sum up, animal circuses should be prohibited as it shows the cruelty towards the animals by using vile tools to force them to perform tricks and endangering the lives of innocent bystanders. Main purpose of the circus is to entertain rather than educate, but this can’t be ignored, the impact of seeing wild animals perform unnatural tricks does not instill a sense of respect or appreciation towards animals among childrens. Circuses, on the other hand, teach children that it is acceptable to exploit and mistreat animals for amusement. To avoid this we as human beings should act wisely and eliminate this inhumane act.

Trust your intuition.
- Arpan Acharya - 23010, Grade ... 19 April, 2022

The times when some students struggle in studies, their parents hire them tutors, instructors to cope with. But the question arises, what should we do when we struggle in life? Whom should we hire, whom should we plead for help? Most of us will be in some sort of dilemma. But, as there is saying, where there is will there is a way, in relation to this, well there's one tutor that is lying inside all of us all the time: Intuition, the insider that we most of the time treat as a stranger. The word intuition if we break it down, in simple terms it will sound like inner tuition. An inner tutor. To quote Albert Einstein, the most genius mind once stated that the intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. Yes in this world there are several people who just honor the servant and do not see the blissful gift. Such people have crazy numbers of mentors, such people when they get in trouble have no helping hands except a bunch of advice which push them deeper into confusion and away from the solution. Intuition is a beautiful sense that acts spontaneously without quenching the thirst of whys but creates a response full of confidence and calmness. We all know that when we are given a chance to choose between several choices, it comes with a lot of distress to pick one. Likewise when in times of trouble the questions that we ask people in the pursuit of solutions, we tend to be consumed with thoughts much more than before because of different people, different experiences. With a lot of thoughts revolving on the mind that lead us to anxiety and indecision. These times are the times where using an intuitive approach is the best. This will make you calm, present in the moment and gentle with the problem. A huge malpractice about intuition is that people confuse intuition with predictions. Knowing what will occur in the future, reading people’s minds etc is certainly not intuition. 

Intuition is something out of the box, it gives you all you need to get started to follow what seems to be right even though it is against all the odds. Intuitive approach doesn’t bother you to work on things that the prejudices of people, social conventions and even common sense tend to be against off. And even sometimes when the intuition driven decisions may be wrong, it enables you to perceive whatever life throws up on you. 

It helps you gain trust from yourselves. You will be your own boss and there will be no need for a therapist because following your intuition is therapeutic in itself.

Our education system has always talked badly about the value of intuition and the benefits of cultivating intuitive skills. Initially as children we all have intuitive skills, no boundaries with imagination. As adults, taking an intuitive approach makes people label you as “childish” which is completely wrong.  Yes facts and logic are very important, but life as a whole needs you to step aside from the bulky data and follow your intuition.

विज्ञानको इतिहास
- Aashrab Khanal - 22001, Grade ... 19 April, 2022

विज्ञान हाम्रो जीवनमा नभई नहुने कुरा भएको छ त्यसैले यसको इतिहास जान्नु आवश्यक छ । विज्ञानको इतिहासले प्राचीन कालदेखि हालसम्मको विज्ञानको विकासलाई समेट्ने काम गर्छ । विज्ञानका सबै तीन प्रमुख भागहरू: प्राकृतिक, सामाजिक र औपचारिकलाई समेट्ने काम गर्दा विज्ञानको इतिहासको राम्रोसँग बुझ्न सकिन्छ ।

विज्ञानको उत्पत्ति प्राचीन इजिप्ट र मेसोपोटामियामा लगभग ३००० देखि १२०० इसापूर्वमा भएको अनुमान लगाउन सकिन्छ । गणित, खगोल विज्ञान र औषधीमा गरिएको योगदानले शास्त्रीय ग्रीक प्राकृतिक दर्शनलाई प्रभाव परेको देखिन्छ । यसले प्राकृतिक कारणहरूमा आधारित संसारमा हुने घटनाहरूका लागि एउटा औपचारिक स्पष्टीकरण प्रदान गर्न खोज्यो । इस्लामिक स्वर्ण युगको बेलामा हेलेनिस्टिक विश्वदृश्य संरक्षित गरिएको थियो । पश्चिमी रोमन साम्राज्यको पतनपछि ल्याटिन भाषा बोल्ने युरोपमा प्रारम्भिक मध्य युगमा ग्रीक विश्व दृष्टिकोणको बुझाइ घट्यो । १०औँ र १३ औँ शताब्दीको बीचमा ग्रीक कार्यहरूको पुन: प्राप्तिले पश्चिममा प्राकृतिक दर्शनको अध्ययनलाई पुनर्जीवित गर्यो । १६औँदेखि १७ औँ शताब्दीको युरोपमा वैज्ञानिक क्रान्तिका कारणले नयाँ विचार र आविष्कारहरू आए । त्यसबेला पूर्व ग्रीक धारणा र परम्पराहरूबाट हटेर प्राकृतिक दर्शनलाई रूपान्तरण गर्ने काम हुन थाल्यो । युरोपमा विकसित भएको नयाँ विज्ञानले थप मेकानिकल दृष्टिकोण ल्याएको थियो । त्यससँगै विज्ञान थप गणितीय रूपमा एकीकृत भयो र एउटा भरपर्दो रूप लिन थाल्यो । त्याे बेलाका नयाँ ज्ञानहरू भर्खरै परिभाषित वैज्ञानिक विधिमा आधारित थिए । त्यसपछिका शताब्दीहरूमा पनि विज्ञानमा थप क्रान्तिहरू आए । उदाहरणका लागि १८ औँ शताब्दीको रासायनिक क्रान्तिले रसायन विज्ञानलाई नयाँ विधि र मापन प्रदान गर्‍यो । ऊर्जा संरक्षण, पृथ्वीको युग र विकास सम्बन्धी नयाँ दृष्टिकोणहरू उन्नाइसौँ शताब्दीमा देखा परेको बुझिन्छ ।

बिसौँ शताब्दीका आविष्कारहरूले आणविक जीवविज्ञान र कण विज्ञानजस्ता नयाँ उपविषयहरूका लागि आधार तयार पार्यो । चार्ल्स डार्विन र अल्फ्रेड वालेसद्वारा स्वतन्त्र रूपमा तयार गरिएको ‘प्राकृतिक चयनद्वारा विकासको विचार’ विज्ञानमा सबैभन्दा प्रसिद्ध सिद्धान्त रहेको छ । सन् १८५९ मा प्रकाशित डार्विनको पुस्तक ‘द ओरिजिन अफ स्पेसिज’ मा यसको बारेमा धेरै लामो कुरा गरिएको छ । डार्विनले दाबी गरे कि प्राकृतिक प्रक्रियाहरूले लामो समयमा मानव लगायत सबै जीवित चीजहरूका विशेषताहरूलाई आकार दिन्छन् । यसको हालको रूपमा विकास सिद्धान्तले जीवविज्ञानको व्यावहारिक रूपमा हरेक पक्षमा प्रभाव पारेको छ । शुद्ध विज्ञानबाहेक अन्य क्षेत्रहरूमा विकासको निहितार्थले समाजका विभिन्न खण्डहरूबाट आलोचना र समर्थन दुवै प्राप्त गरेको छ र "ब्रह्माण्डमा मानिसको स्थान" को साझा धारणाहरूमा महत्त्वपूर्ण प्रभाव पारेको छ । दिमित्री मेन्डेलिभले जोन डाल्टनको आणविक सिद्धान्तमा आधारित रसायनशास्त्रमा तत्त्वहरूको पहिलो आवधिक तालिका स्थापना गरे । अन्य उल्लेखनीय आविष्कारहरूमा आणविक संरचनाको प्रकृतिका साथसाथै नयाँ प्रकारका खोज पनि समावेश छन् । सन् १७७६ मा प्रकाशित एडम स्मिथको ‘एन इन्क्वायरी इन द नेचर एन्ड कज अफ द वेल्थ अफ नेसन्स’ शास्त्रीय अर्थशास्त्रको आधार हो भनेर मानिन्छ । स्मिथले व्यापारवादको विरोध गरे र श्रम विभाजनको साथ स्वतन्त्र व्यापार प्रणालीको वकालत गरे र उनको ‘अदृश्य हात’ को कुरा आज संसारभरि प्रसिद्ध छ । विज्ञानको इतिहास आफैँमा मानव इतिहास हो ।

The Harry Potter Series
- Rakshit Dahal - 22024, Grade ... 18 April, 2022

During the 2000s Harry Potter movies were one of the most best selling franchises throughout the world. The book was written by JK Rowling and soon , it turned into visual arts and that was the only thing that got me to watch the Harry Potter series. Still today it is quite popular and the storyline is quite hard to break and not fall in love with it. Starring Daniel Radcliff, Emma Watson and Rupert Grin, the movie amazed everyone in the US, Europe and around the globe.

The main aspects that made me amazed about this series was how influential ,interesting and mysterious the story line was. The series consisted of about 8 movies. To my surprise none of the movies in the series led my expectations down about the movie and the story line.This movie consisted of three main characters , Harry Potter , Ron Weasley and Hermoine, for me none of the characters were quite attractive except one , I mean except two , I had a little crush on Hermoine back then . But here I will be talking about the mysterious dark guy, Professor Snape: A tall black haired , black dressed and scary middle aged man who taught defense against dark arts. His movements , his pale looks and no expressions made him look scary.Though in the 7 movies Professor Snape seemed to be quite a rude, lonely and aggressive teacher and I honestly hated that guy. But boy oh boy, did the last movie change my perspective.The plot about Snape’s life secret turned from right to left real quick in the last movie and my perspective towards him was changed.

Speaking of his character, Professor Snape was that child who was always bullied and was hardly loved. He hardly had any parents' love and was always insulted. He had one and only love of his life  who soon fell in love with the other guy and left poor Snape alone. Can you imagine how it might have felt to the poor guy?  But that didn't affect his love for her. Soon the girl who Snape loved died due to much deeper patterns in the movie by a guy “ who shall not be named”. He was portrayed as a rude and egoistic teacher who kind of hated Harry Potter which makes sense because his mother was the girl Snape loved and Harry looked like his dad, who bullied Snape when both Snape and Potter’s dad were in school. I too hated Harry’s dad ,like Professor Snape.

The ending of Severus Snape is quite tragic to be honest. He died protecting Harry Potter. He was viewed as an evil character throughout the movie and was never loved ever in his life though he had loved everyone in a different way or let's call it his own way. Snape's bravery was quite fascinating; he was always known as the cartoon guy yet what he did  for Harry was a tragic secret,a secret no one will ever find out. Professor Snape died while looking into the eyes of the child whose mother was once truly loved by him and for once he cried and his tears was the reason that little ungrateful Harry got to know about all of Snape’s life through some magic.

Snape taught me that there are no good men and bad men, we all are born with different shades of life with different pain and thousands of complexities. It is you who decides to address the complexities in different manner as you please.

Life was hard on Snape, he saw his love marry a guy who bullied him in school and was brought up in a strict environment with hardly anyone to consult him. He was made on his own and still chose the right path. This is what makes me love him.

Science can explain what I believe
- Dhendup Norphel Sherpa - 2302 ... 18 April, 2022

I believe that given enough time and resources, scientists would be ready to form a group of mathematical models that describe how matter and energy (and substance and dark energy) behave in time and space (including any necessary warping of your time and space) within the absence of external forces. This is how the Universe behaves within the absence of interference from things apart from matter, energy, time and space. 

Scientific theory is the reason behind that science is able to explain the behavior up to a collection of probabilities. At the size of individuals, these probabilities can often be quite accurate because they involve averages over large numbers of such probabilities. At the amount of subatomic particles, they cannot be accurate for features that don't seem to be continuously observed.One thing that may be difficult for science to elucidate is the set of laws of nature that it's proposed. Pick anyone, perhaps the law that says "Every object in an exceedingly state of uniform motion tends to stay therein state of motion unless an external force is applied to that." This law may be a statement about the behavior of matter, energy, time, and space but it's not itself composed of matter or energy nor does it occupy space. It is not littered with the passage of your time (the assertion is that it's true for all times). It may be translated into many languages, so it doesn't depend upon a selected arrangement of sounds or symbols. I am not at this time worried about whether the law itself is true or false, merely about its existence. To be sure, after I am brooding about the law it involves the movement of chemicals and charges in my brain and these motions can be said to be operating under the law. Any written statement of the law involves such things also. But the law itself exists beyond any of those.Even so, we are left with a quite serious problem when trying to claim that science can explain everything. 

Let me back up and come at this issue very carefully.Let me start by describing what current scientific theories state about the limits on what can be known. I will then state what I believe science will be able to explain. Then I want to state the myth in its most direct form and show that it makes no sense.The very purpose of the term “science” is an explanation for everything. If perfect knowledge could somehow be obtained then the universe and everything in it could be explained by the holder of that knowledge.

गाह्रो छ, यो संसारमा बाँच्न ।
- Samrath Nakarmi - 22011, Grad ... 18 April, 2022

एउटा दुर्घटनाले मानिसकाे जीवन परिवर्तन गर्न सक्छ । कुनै एउटा कारकले मान्छेको भित्रको मन, मानवता सबै मारिदिन सक्छ । राम्रो मान्छे, जसले केही नराम्रो गरेको छैन, त्यसको जिन्दगी कसैले बर्बाद पार्न सक्छ । वास्तवमा मानव अति नै महान् प्राणी भनेर सुन्दै आइरहेका छौँ तर खासमा हामी मानव एक कमजोर प्राणी हाैँ ।

 

मरी मरी बाँचेका कसैलाई कसैले हेर्न पनि भ्याउँदैन र हेर्दैन पनि । लगभग मानिसकाे धेरै समय दु:खले भरिएको हुन्छ । दु:ख, पीडा, भोकले दु:खमाथि दुःख थप्दै गएकाे हुन्छ तर त्यसकाे समाधान केही हुँदैन । यिनीहरूको पीडालाई सहयोग गर्ने हात अगाडि बढेकाे देखिँदैन । हामी सबै भन्छाैँ र सुन्छाैँ पनि मानव प्राणीमध्येकाे सबैभन्दा उत्कृष्ट प्राणी हाे । मानव महान् प्राणी भए पनि उसमा निःस्वार्थ भावना भने कमै मात्रामा भेटिन्छ । एउटा कारकले मान्छेलाई आत्महत्या गर्ने चरणमा लगेको छ भने अर्कोले मान्छेलाई हत्यारा बनाउन पुग्छन् । "वर्ल्ड इज भेरी ब्युटिफ़ुल " भन्छन् सबले तर यही संसार विषले पनि भरिएको छ तर छौँ हामी यो भ्रामक संसारमा बाँच्दै । केही गर्न सक्दैनाैँ हामी किनभने हामीले आफ्नो परिवार चलाउनुपर्छ । आफ्नाे परिवारले सहयोग गर्छ पुरै दिनको दुःखलाई सहज बनाउन, हामी काेही ठुला वा महान् हैनाैँ । हामीलाई पनि माया चाहिन्छ यो संसारमा बाँच्न र अगाडि बढ्न ।


 

कति मानिस मरिरहेका छन्, लाखौँ मानिसले आफ्नाे परिवार गुमाएका छन् । अब उनीहरूलाई अघि बढ्ने सहारा को छन् ? कसले उनीहरूलाई कठिन समयमा सहयोग गर्न सक्छ ? आमाबुबा हुँदा सकिन्थ्यो राम्ररी बाँच्न । एउटा आशाको किरण दिनुहुन्थ्यो उहाँहरूले तर उहाँहरू नै यो संसार छोडेर जानुभयो भने के गर्न सक्छाैँ र हामीले ? दु:खले पोलिरहेको हुन्छ मान्छेको मन । एक किरणको आशा पनि हराएर जान्छ । अनि ऊ यस्तो चरणमा पुग्छ कि कहिले पछाडि फर्किन सक्दैन । उसकाे मन भित्रैदेखि मरिसकेको हुन्छ । कसरी बाँच्न सकिन्छ र यस्तो दु:ख बोक्दै ? कालो अन्धाकरले भरिसकेको हुन्छ एक मनिसको जीवन तर हार मान्नु सबैभन्दा ठुलो गल्ती भनेर सिकाएका छौँ हामीले तर कसरी बाँच्न सक्छ एक व्यक्ति यस्तो स्तिथिमा ?

"गाह्रो छ, यो संसारमा बाँच्न ।"

Life: A Mixture of Sweetness and Bitterness
- Niharika Shrestha - 22022, Gr ... 15 April, 2022

Everyone says life is beautiful and I guess we all agree with this statement, but sometimes it is important to accept that life is not full of happiness or beauty, flaws come within, and those flaws can be in the form of challenges, obstacles, or in any form.The ultimate thing is that too is its beauty. When we accept the flaws and work on them, then life is in fact really beautiful. Life gives us both, strawberries and lemons. It is upon us how we deal with the sweetness and bitterness of our life. Too much sweetness and too much bitterness both can hamper us. So, it is important to maintain a balance in life. 

 

Talking about my life, it is going really well. I have been busy with studies these days so there isn't much time to think about things beyond my studies and proceed with some change and regret over it. Keeping ourselves busy can really change the way we look after our life. I feel like productivity is the key to being happy in my life. The days when I am productive are always the happy ones. The feeling of checking off all the things on my to-do list before going to bed is the best thing ever. The satisfaction and happiness are unreal. But at the same time, it is important to take a rest. In the past, if I ever took some rest I felt like I was leading myself towards failure. Sometimes, it is okay to do nothing, lay in bed, and scroll through the phone all day long. Our body not only needs physical rest but also mental rest. As I am growing up, I am realizing the importance of rest and I am always trying to forgive my younger self for thinking I was a failure whenever I did nothing productive. We often compare our life with others but we don't realize everyone has a different story. Comparing is good, but it should be only with our past self and present self. This makes us grow, change and also brings more happiness into our life. Life is also all about being smart and dumb at the same time. Dumb people are way happier in life because they don't care about others’ opinions and are carefree. So, it is important to do the things we love and enjoy without being affected by what others think. One shouldn’t be affected by others' opinions always. The final decision must rely on yourself. Every day is a new day so we should focus on the present rather than regretting the past and thinking about the future. Growing up, we’ve always been listening to everyone’s advice to live in the present and enjoy every single moment. Life is short and we never know what’s going to happen tomorrow. So, rather than spending time hating others and gossiping about others' lives, we should focus on our own business and focus on our growth.

 

Life is like an orange. Orange has a mixture of both sweetness and bitterness. So, life is not always sunny and is not always rainy. It is important to be grateful on our sunny days and learn to not give up on our rainy days. Blessings make us happy and satisfied and battles make us stronger. So, we should be thankful for not only the blessings but also the battles of our life.
