Do you actually need to exercise/workout?
- Darshan Mainali - 22007, Grad ... 06 April, 2022

Humans have progressed a lot in the fields of science and technology or can say they have par intellectually in comparison to the earlier period,are very busy and confined within their errands but along with that lot of progression they are even suffering from different health issues. To cope with the health issues, Exercising or working out is considered as important, which will help humans to lead a healthy and happy life. The better health of an individual wholly relies on his diet and his work out schedule.


Exercising shouldn't be taken as a burden rather it should be cultivated in oneself as a virtuous habit. It should be the part of every individual in today’s busy and “ popular culture” context. People may have misconceptions regarding diet and exercises, there should be awareness programs that must attract and motivate individuals towards workout.


There aren't any age restrictions to working out or exercising. Regular physical activities such as jumping,running,cycling is also considered as an exercise as it helps to keep your muscles and bones strong as well as keep you away from any kind of heart disease. If an individual has any queries or thoughts on about where to start working out, s/he can join a gym for instance. There are trainers in the gym who help you to exercise and let your muscles grow the proper way. 


When it comes to working out, one must not feel lackadaisical or forfeit his workout schedule. Consistency is the key if one wants to achieve his/her dream body. Said that, one or two rest days in a week is also as important as working out. When someone lifts heavy weights or tries to carry out any kinds of body weights, his/her muscles feel sore and tearing of tissues ensue. During rest the body cells help the tissue to heal and evolve the muscles. 


In this generation, the food that we intake is produced using additives and preservatives which gradually affects the digestive system of the human body. Maintaining a healthy diet is as important as working out or exercising. Muscles and bones cannot grow or strengthen without receiving necessary proteins, calcium, carbohydrates or in whole the proper diet. One needs to be aware of the dietary plan and foods.  


Hence, working out, exercising and maintaining a healthy diet is very important to keep oneself fit, healthy and active. And looking at today's context we must get motivated and keep motivating others.

मेरो कपाल खौरिएको छ…
- Safal Gautam - 22016, Grade X ... 06 April, 2022

मेरो प्रश्न यहाँका सबै केटाहरूलाई छ । अरू केटाहरूले लामो कपाल राखेर उनीहरू फिल्मको हिरोभन्दा कम देखिँदैनन्, जसले गर्दा हामीलाई पनि उनीहरूजस्तै बन्न मन लाग्छ, होइन त ? मलाई अरूको बारेमा थाहा छैन तर यो मेरा लागि भने दिनदिनैको सोच थियो । मैले मेरो कपाल काट्न छोड्ने र यसलाई बढ्न दिन चाहन्छु भन्ने निर्णय गरेको समय त्यतिबेला थियो, जब मैले मेरो दाइलाई त्यस्तै गरिरहेको देखेँ । म त्यो समयमा सोझो थिएँ र बच्चै थिएँ त्यसैले मलाई लाग्यो कि यदि उसले यो गर्न सक्छ भने म पनि गर्न सक्छु ।

कपाल नकाट्ने निर्णयमा अडिग रहनुको अर्को मुख्य कारण के. जी. एफ हेरेपछिकाे प्रभाव थियो । त्यो लामो कपालमा रकी कति खतरा देखिन्थ्यो, त्यसैले मलाई पनि त्यस्तै देखिन मन लाग्यो । मेरो कपाल पाल्ने यात्रा यसरी सुरु भयो । लकडाउन र कक्षा १० को अन्त्यले मेरो यो विचारलाई समर्थन गर्‍यो किनकि मेरो कपाल काट्ने कोही नाउ थिएन र मलाई मेरो स्कुलले फेरि कपाल काट्न बाध्य पार्न सक्दैनथ्यो । 

मेरो यो यात्रामा निस्सन्देह धेरै चुनौतीहरू थिए । मेरो हजुरबुबा बितेपछि कपाल काट्नुपर्ने हो कि भनेर म आत्तिन थालेँ तर पछि व्रतबन्ध गर्नेले मात्र कपाल काट्नुपर्दो रहेछ भनेर थाहा पाएपछि राहतको सास फेरेँ । यस प्रकारको सोच खराब छ, मलाई थाहा छ तर म साँच्चै मेरो लामो कपाल राख्न चाहन्थेँ, जसलाई बढ्नका लागि ३ महिना लागेको थियो ।

मैले सामना गरेको अर्को चुनौती त्यतिबेला थियो, जब मेरो थप अध्ययन पूरा गर्न उच्च शिक्षा हासिल गर्ने विद्यालय छनोट गर्ने समय आयो । पहिले मैले सुनेको थिएँ कि कलेजहरूले कपाल बढाउन अनुमति दिन्छन् तर पछि मैले सुनेँ कि त्यो केवल एक झुटाे प्रतिज्ञा थियो । अझ मैले पहिलो पटक प्रयास गर्न चाहेका कलेजहरू कपालकाे मामिलामा अत्यन्त कडा थिए ।

त्यतिबेला मैले सोचेँ कि भगवान्‌ले मलाई “कपाल काट् ।” भनिरहनुभएकाे रहेछ तर त्यसपछि मुक्तिदाताजस्तै गरी डी. एस. एसको खबर मतर्फ दौडियो । सुरुमा मलाई कुनै आशा थिएन तर जब मैले आकर्षक सेवाहरू र यस विद्यालयले विद्यार्थीहरूलाई गर्न दिने कुराहरू हेर्न थालेँ, मैले निर्णय गरेँ कि मेरो भाग्यमा यही विद्यालय लेखिएको हो । यो भन्नु ठुलो कुरा होइन तर इमानदारीपूर्वक भन्नुपर्दा म डी. एस. एसमा आउनुको मुख्य कारणहरू यसका अतिरिक्त क्रियाकलापहरू र यसले विद्यार्थीहरूलाई कपाल बढाउन अनुमति दिने नियम हुन् । 

त्यसपछि मैले जीवनको आनन्द लिन थालेँ । मेरो कपाल मैले चाहेकोजस्तो लामो भयो । मलाई लाग्यो कि म राम्रो देखिन्छु र अचानक म चर्चाकाे विषय बन्न पुगेँ तर यात्राको अंश अन्त्य हो । अन्ततः मेरो व्रतबन्धको दिन तय भएको खबरले गर्दा यो आरामदायी जीवन एक्कासि टुट्यो । मसँग कपाल पाल्नका लागि जम्मा २ हप्ता मात्र बाँकी थियो । मैले पूरै २ वर्ष पालेकाे कपाल ! सुरुमा कति खुसी थिएँ, अहिले कति दुःखी छु । 

मेरो कपाललाई बिदाइ गर्ने दिनको समय नजिक आयो । मलाई थाहा थियो कि अन्ततः कपाल काट्नु अपरिहार्य हुने छ त्यसैले मैले प्रतिरोध छोडेँ । के. जी. एफ. को रकी बन्ने सपना थियो, म के बनेँ ? हाउसफुल ४ को बाला हुन पुगेँ म । जब मेरो कपाल खौरन थालियाे, मैले मेरो कपालसँग बिताएका समयको सम्झना गर्दा विगत २ वर्षको सम्झना मेरो आँखाअगाडि चम्कियो । म कसरी दुःखी नहुनु ? मेरो कपाल मसँग महामारीभर थियो ।

ठिकै छ । मलाई लाग्छ, सबै ठिक हुने छ । कम्तीमा मसँग त्यो लामो कपालबाट बनेको टुप्पी छ । मात्रामा थोरै कपाल भए पनि, म यो टुप्पीलाई कहिल्यै काट्ने छैनँ र बढ्न सकुन्जेल यसलाई बढ्न दिने वाचा गर्छु ।

आमा
- Umanga Khatiwada - 23047, Gra ... 05 April, 2022

नौ महिनासम्म गर्भमा राखी जन्म दियौ मलाई 

कयौँ पल दु:ख सही सुख दियौ मलाई

जीवनको बाटो कस्तो भनी देखाइदियाै मलाई

दु:ख, कष्टमा हिँड्न सिकायाै मलाई । 


कोख नै कोख गरी खाना खुवाई बाँच्न सिकायाै मलाई

जीवनका हरेक पलसँग जुधेर नाच्न सिकायाै मलाई

तिम्रा ती कोमल हात मेरा शिरमा राखी, खुसी बनायाै मन मेरो 

मेरा लागि भन्दा भन्दै खुसी खोस्याै आफैँले आफ्नाे । 


मैले कहिले सोचिनँ, तिमीले मलाई माया गर्छ्याै, 

लाग्थ्यो, मलाई तिमीले जहिले गाली मात्र गर्थ्याै,

अलि अलि गर्दा गर्दै हुर्काइदियाै मलाई 

मनमा हरेक पिर बोकी खुसी दियाै मलाई ।


तिमी कति महान् छौ, हर्ष दिन्छौ अरूलाई

दु:ख जति तिम्रो थियो, खुसी जति मलाई

तर त्यति बेला नबुझे पनि अहिले भने मैले बुझेको छु, 

आफ्नो लागि बाटो पनि अर्कै कोरेको छु । 


त्यही भएर मैले तिम्रो सम्झना गरिरहेछु, 

तिम्रै यादमा हरेक पल बाँचेर पनि मरिरहेछु ।

कस्तो हो यो अन्तरमन ?
- Aarpan Acharya - 23010, Grade ... 04 April, 2022

कस्तो हो यो अन्तरमन ? 

आफ्नै आँसुको कारण नबुझी 

खाली अनन्त समुद्रकाे उत्पत्तिबारे खोज्न हिँड्छ, 

कस्तो हो यो अन्तरमन ? 

मनभित्रको कमजोरी नबुझी

बाहिरी संसारमा 

आफ्नो शक्ति प्रदर्शन गर्दै हिँड्छ । 


 

कस्तो हो यो अन्तरमन ? 

याे अराजक बस्तीमा

गाईजात्रा देख्छ, 

यसले घोडेजात्रा देख्छ, 

अन्तर्जात्रा भने कहिले देख्ने ?

अन्तरङ्गको भेलबाट मुक्ति यसले कहिले भेट्ने ?


 

कस्तो हो याे अन्तरमन ? 

भोक त छ तर खाने इच्छा हुँदैन, 

कस्तो हो याे अन्तरमन ?

शाेक त छ तर अनुहारमा दु:ख हुँदैन ।  


 

कस्तो हो यो अन्तर्मन ? 

जसलाई आफू छु भन्ने त थाहा छ,

तर कस्तो छु भन्ने पत्तो छैन,

बाहिरी नकाब पनि जिज्ञासु छ,

अब त यो अन्तर्मनको आकार बुझ्नलाई

बाहिरी नकाबको यो नियत देखेर 

फेरि प्रश्न नै परिवर्तन गर्दिन्छ, 

होइन, कस्तो हो यो अन्तरमन ?

Gaming as a life carrier
- Aarnov Adhikari - 23003, Grad ... 04 April, 2022

It is the 21st century and I'm certain that all of us have played computer games at least once in our life. We mostly play games for fun or to pass time and enjoy with our friends but what if gaming isn't only centered on having fun or enjoying but can also be taken as a career option.

On the surface, sports haven't altered all that much in the last two decades. Technology advanced, but the fundamentals of sports remained the same. However, if we dig a bit deeper, you'll see a new sport vying for a position in the world — esports.

The growing popularity of esports has created some viable careers. Even research has shown that playing video games can have benefits when it comes to certain cognitive systems related to visual attention and short-term memory. This is why so many people are considering finding their career path in this industry. There is even an expert that says that playing esports is much harder than playing regular sports. This statement can be criticized of course. However, we still can't deny that esports can be as competitive as any other sport.

Esports stars like the South Korean player Faker already make $2 million a year and some professional teams are even joining esports leagues. All of this goes to show that esports are becoming more and more popular and that they can create some of the most interesting and creative career paths. So without a doubt in terms of money esports can be compared to any other sports.

Living in a country like Nepal where even sports is taken as a bad career option; esports stand no position and also we know the mentality of the Nepalese parents. They say,” My son will be a doctor. My son will be an engineer.” whereas their children are not even interested in such professions. In Nepal, parents manipulate the future of their children to such an extent that there are even reports of suicide. However, popular esports organization DRS has been expected to have an earning of approx. $176,733 in 2 years which is a motivation for our country as most of the population of Nepal aren't even equipped with smartphones and other facilities. Also, this can influence the minds of Nepali parents, that playing games is not only about spoiling your child and hampering them but also can be later developed as a career option.

Well, esports isn't the only carrier option while we talk about gaming. Streaming, content creation and so many more come into consideration as a carrier option. Not only that streaming has been seen as a healthy source of income with multiple streaming platforms such as youtube, twitch, Facebook, etc.

All in all, I think esports is a great career option for people who are passionate about gaming but as the current situation in Nepal goes I believe that it will be fruitful only once gaming gets recognition from the government of Nepal taking the reference as esports being a part of Olympics 2022.

THE DEEP WEB
- Ashwot Acharya - 22021, Grade ... 04 April, 2022

When talking about the deep web we generally get afraid, thinking about the dark web, the hackers and the crazy scary stories. I am not saying that these stories are fake, matter of fact they are 100% true but that is not the deep web that we are so afraid of. Those stories are less than 1% of the dark web which is different from the deep web. In standard terms, the deep web is the part of the internet that is inaccessible through standard search engines like google yahoo or Bing. 

The deep web generally contains free for service websites, private Databases, non indexed websites and the dark web . Yes, THE DARK WEB. Search engines use bots to crawl the internet and provide the most relevant and most desired websites based on what you search and what others have searched. Search engines like Google, Bing etc use something called SEO, which stands for search engine optimization. The algorithm basically goes to a different index on the website, pulls the information , analyzes the page, also taking into factors other variables like signals, or in which search query should the websites be sent etc. And the major use of SEO is to make sure that the users get exactly what they want. But the websites in the deep web are dynamically generated and do not contain reference links from other websites i.e. making them un-indexed websites, and hence the search engines do not go to such websites as it can’t be found. 

The deep web consists of mostly free-for-service sites, such as websites where you can watch pirated movies for free, or fee-for-service sites like Netflix but with more access to many different kinds of contents,databases for huge storage etc are available in the deep web. Then we have private databases which are a big part of the deep web. Private databases refer to storage , a database for individuals to share , to save photos , and information between a few friends. It may contain their private transaction records of the money that they have spent , or maybe just information that they do not wish to share to just everybody. 

Now I will not believe you said that you haven’t heard of the silk road, the most famous dark web which can be reached by specialized search engines. The silk road was the best marketplace for buying and selling of drugs, a famous black-market, owned by Ross Ulbricht , who was later arrested by the FBI and the website was shut down, due to the privacy level capturing the culprit was one of the more difficult tasks. Currently in the dark web we can find many iterations of the silk-road and the sheer number makes it super difficult for the police to capture the creator and the owner of such websites. Of course there are always the advantages and the disadvantages of such a network. Currently a lot of people use the deep web. We can’t estimate the exact size but a lot of people do use it. The major reason people use such networks comes down to privacy. Deep web provides private and secure internet, meaning that you can access information without being tracked by the bots. The encryption they provide is another benefit, this allows people to use the fee-for-service application and keeps other people at bay, the data is encrypted and the security that the users get is amazing hence the growing population use it, matter of fact people just like you and me access surface web information through the dark web as it is far better and security is far more reliable. 

However that doesn’t mean you can go and say anything on the deep web and no one will know who you are. Accessing the deep web you have to also be careful about various things , understand the information and make sure the information you get is reliable. Be wary of scams as there are a lot. You have to use your judgment properly.

According to Wikipedia the dark net was first used in the 1970s in which they described the government funded network for security purposes and later around 2002 the term gained public acceptance from a publication by peter biddle called “ The Darknet and the future of content distribution “ .

With that said most of now have a question on how we can access it . Accessing the dark web and the deep web is done through onion links using the tor project . The tor project is an open source privacy network that allows us to view the web anonymously and works on the encrypted protocol in which the data of the user is shielded in different layers like the onion. The technology was made by the US Navy to protect sensitive information from the government and create secure communication. And later that project was available to the public as TOR-Project and the source code is accessible to everyone, developers all around the world work together to upgrade the tor and enhance the user experience. 

Tor uses onion-style routing system meaning that when you as a user transfer a request the browser instead of connecting you directly to the website is bounced to another random number of tor user’s computer which finally gets you to the website. This doesn’t mean that you can do whatever you want. There are ways that your identity can be revealed hence you have to be super careful as stated before. 

Now should I as a general user without much knowledge use such an advanced browsing method ? 

My simple answer to that is yes. We general people need to understand the privacy feature but it's not for everyone. If you have a hard time understating the information, making sure that the information you get is true or reliable then it's not for you. The major problem of accessing the dark net is excessive nudity and scamming websites. It is not for children, and not for those who find searching for information difficult , or for those who cannot identify scamming websites easily. Hence overall for someone who is interested, who has a good self control, who likes to explore the venture , and to those who want to understand the depth of privacy it is perfect. 

I have explored both the deep web and the dark web and I can tell you that it is enormous , in every sense, the amount of websites are beyond comparable. You can find useful and useless information. I heard about the deep web when listening to creepy pasta, a horror related internet legend. And wanted to see what this internet was like. In such a process I have understood privacy , VPN, its importance and many more. You may have a question: what are you doing on the deep web? In the process of understanding the deep and dark web I have found lot of websites which I found interesting and amongst them was the so called hidden wiki , it is like a Wikipedia but in the deep web, and you can find a lot of information there, the reliability of the website may be questionable, and this is trend for all the websites in the deep web. Another website that I found really useful is the hidden library, the library consists of a lot of e-books , many languages, free of cost, and for me I have found there every single book that I look for, I had even looked for one of the latest books published in the recent years and its there, and another website for audio books. But I have only told you about the good stuff that I have found, there are bad and really bad forums, forms that look innocent like reddit but are more like 4chan. Like I said before, excessive nudity, illegal activities especially hacking , black hat hackers who can hack anyone for money and many that cannot be stated are illegal things. While accessing the dark web I saw the true evil nature of humans, people who in real life look innocent but deep down are beyond monsters, you can find a discussion where the people describe how they kidnapped a person and extorted money, or killed them. These are the bad aspects of the dark web. Does it mean you should be wary of the dark web? Yes, you should. Understand, get the information you want, verify the information , stay in the deep web but try to stay away from the dark web. It is not worth the trouble and the hassle.

In a nutshell the deep web is a deeper part of the net with indexed and unindexed websites, hidden websites and dark web is a collection of unindexed websites where most illegal activities take place. But once you have understood the bad aspects you can access the deep web, like many users are doing right now. Overall the advantages outweighs the disadvantages but you need to know and be confident in your self that you won’t do stupid things in the dark web.
