विज्ञान र प्रविधि
- Norah Lama - 23060, Grade XI ... 12 November, 2021

विज्ञान र प्रविधि हाम्रो जीवनमा धेरै महत्त्वपूर्ण पक्ष भएको छ । आधुनिक जीवनकाे सुरुदेखि नै विज्ञान र प्रविधिले मानव जीवनमा आफ्नो उपस्थिति बनाएकाे थियो । विज्ञान र प्रविधि हाम्रो जीवनको एक महत्त्वपूर्ण हिस्सा हो वा भएको छ । यसले सधैँ हाम्रो हरेक दैनिक काम वा जीवनमा सानो प्रभाव पार्छ । हामी उठ्ने क्षणदेखि हामी सुत्ने समयसम्म विज्ञान र प्रविधि सधैँ त्यस अवधिमा हामीलाई परिचय गराइन्छ । हामी विज्ञान र प्रविधिको मद्दतले चिजहरूको सबै प्रकार गर्न सक्छौँ र के योभन्दा बढी हो कि यो उन्नति धेरै परिवर्तन भएको छ जब यो पहिलो पेस गरिएको थियो । त्यसैले हाम्रो युगमा विज्ञान र प्रविधिले शासन गरेको छ ।

आधुनिक सभ्यता विज्ञान र प्रविधिद्वारा हामीलाई पेस गरिएको छ। यसका धेरै फाइदा वा गुणहरू छन् र यसको विपरीत जे पनि राम्रो छ त्यसमा केही नराम्रो हुन्छ । विज्ञान र प्रविधिले मानव संसारलाई सजिलै र अधिक अग्रिम विकसित गर्न मद्दत गरेको छ । संसारका केही भागहरू संसारका अन्य भागहरूको रतुलनामा उन्नत नहुन सक्छन् किनकि यो सबै विज्ञान र प्रविधिको आफ्नो प्रगतिमा निर्भर गर्दछ । यो हाम्रो जीवनको एक महान् भाग भएको छ । यस विषयलाई विज्ञान र प्रविधिले हामीलाई विभिन्न नयाँ चिजहरूसँग परिचित गराएको छ । उदाहरणका लागि, हामी कसरी एक देशबाट अर्को देशमा यात्रा गर्न सक्छौँ र हामी कसरी घरमा बसेर आनन्द उठाउन सक्छौँ । हामीसँग अन्य ग्रहहरूको बारेमा पनि जान्न सक्ने क्षमता छ । यसले चिकित्सा र कृषि प्रयोजनहरूमा पनि मद्दत गर्दछ । तसर्थ यसले मानिसहरूलाई भविष्यमा अझ अगाडि बढ्न मद्दत गर्ने छ तर यसको मतलब यो होइन कि यसमा कुनै प्रकारको हानि छैन । हामी सबैलाई थाहा छ कि कसरी आणविक बमहरूकाे प्रयाेग भयाे । यसको कारण एक पुरा शहर नष्ट गर्न सकिन्छ । हामीमध्ये कतिपयलाई यो कुराको लत लागेको छ कि जब हामी नयाँ चिजहरू खोज्दा हामीलाई असहज महसुस हुन्छ । यसले हाम्रो दिमागलाई धेरै सरल बनाएको छ ।

विज्ञान र प्रविधिकाे फाइदा यसको हानिभन्दा धेरै छ । अन्तमा विज्ञान र प्रविधिले समय कसरी परिवर्तन भयो भन्ने बारेमा वा उन्नतिका बारेमा जानकारी दिन्छ । यसले समयको ठुलो मूल्य देखाएको छ र यसले धेरैलाई अझै पनि मद्दत गरेको छ यसैले विज्ञान र प्रविधिकाे आधुनिक समाजमा एक धेरै ठुलो प्रभाव छ ।

मानवहरू
- Rakshit Dahal - 22023, Grade ... 12 November, 2021

मानवहरूले ढुङ्गे युगदेखि अहिलेसम्म धेरै विकास गरेका छन् । हामी पहिला ढुङ्गाहरूलाई एकअर्कासँग जुधाएर आगो बाल्ने गर्थ्याैँ तर अहिले हामी त्यही ढुङ्गालाई चिप जसरी कम्प्युटर र अन्य विद्युतीय उपकरणहरूमा प्रयोग गर्न थालेका छौँ । नयाँ नयाँ उपकरणहरूको विकास हुँदै जाँदा हामी अल्छी हुँदै गएका छौँ । अहिले हामी धेरैजसो फोनमा इन्स्टाग्राम र फेसबुकजस्तो कुराहरूमा आफ्नो जिन्दगीको धेरै समय गुजारिरहेका छौँ । हामीलाई कक्षाको अगाडि गएर बोल्न लाज लाग्छ तर टिकटकमा नाच्न, गाउन अप्ठ्याराे लाग्दैन । हामी जिन्दगीमा लाइक र कमेन्ट राम्रो आउँदा खुसी हुन्छौँ भने नराम्रो आएमा तीन दिनसम्म भात खाँदैनौँ ।

नयाँ युग विज्ञानले धेरै सफलता हासिल गरे तापनि धेरै समस्याहरू पनि ल्याएको छ तर यससँगै धेरै अवसरहरू पनि प्रदनन गरेको छ । अहिले ई गेमिङ्गमार्फत् नेपालकै धेरै युवाहरू विभिन्न प्रतिष्पर्धामा भाग लिएर लाखौँ कमाउने मात्र हैन करोडपति भएका छन् । सबै कुराको सकाात्मक र नकारात्मक विशेषता हुन्छ । याे हामी आफैँले सम्झिनुपर्ने कुरा हो । सबै कुरालाई सन्तुलनमा राखेर काम गरियो भने सबै कुराबाट फाइदा पाउन सकिन्छ भने सन्तुलनभन्दा बाहिर लागियो भने सबै कुरा बिग्रिन पुग्छ ।

मानवहरूले विभिन्न आविष्कारहरू गरेका छन् । विद्यालयमा पनि विद्यार्थीहरूले धेरै कुराहरूकाे आविष्कार गरिरहेका हुन्छन् । मानवहरू पहिला के थिए र अहिले कहाँ छन् भनेर हामी मानवले बुझ्नुपर्छ ।

DARK SIDE OF SOCIAL MEDIA
- Manisha Gurung - 22030, Grade ... 12 November, 2021

Social media is the platform that gives the chance to send and receive information. Social platforms are becoming quite popular these days. There are very small groups of people who are unaware of social media. Social media channels like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. seem like a big part of our life. They are the largest social media networks. Nowadays, there are lots of apps that we use daily for different purposes. It is true that social media plays an important role in our lives but it is also ruining social life in fact . Developers are creating new apps and the branch of social media is increasing day by day. All apps are made for different purposes but the question lies whether one is able to use them in the right way.
Facebook, YouTube, and WhatsApp are the world’s largest social media networks globally, which have billions of users. Social media is not bad in itself. Scientists have found that the chemicals in our brain are to blame for some of the social media’s addictive properties. When one receives a notification on their phone, the brain is flooded with the chemical dopamine, causing a feeling of happiness. The brain enjoys this rush of dopamine and causes one to check their phone repeatedly to re-create that rewarding feeling. It is cited that the researchers state that 72% of teens sleep with their phones nearby. 60% text while doing homework, and 72% feel pressure to respond to notifications immediately. As the research shows, overuse of social media is often linked with underlying issues like depression, sadness, chronic stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and uneasiness. In social media platforms, we can only see the virtual side of the person, in simple terms, we can only see the side they want to show us but many people try to portray themselves to others which they are not at all. Social networking makes life so convenient in every sector but it creates laziness.
Social media can damage your life within a second because it invades your privacy. Not only this, the darkest parts of social media are that some young people are easily influenced like they may feel the need to change their physical appearance and compare themselves to every next person they see in social media. One of the very common negative impacts of social media on children as some of the negative-minded individuals who use it for bullying someone can create big problems.
The oversharing happening on social media is not a good habit because that makes children a target for predators and hackers. The addiction hampers the academic performance of youth as they waste most of their time on social media instead of studying. People post fake news and share it on their timelines. And other people just share the fake news on social media without any verification which puts someone’s life in danger. So, think properly before you share anything on social platforms because if Fake news spreads on social media it poisons the mind of peace-loving citizens. If the use of social media is not monitored properly, it can lead to grave consequences. So, we must be aware of every step of a social network’s behaviors.

Online games and its impact
- Tatsam Gautam - 23045, Grade ... 12 November, 2021

Within the interval of 4 years ( i.e 2015-2021) it's been a massive hit for online games. The production of online games has been increased specially battle royale games. Battle royale games had started in the early 2010 but it was like multiplayer action games and stuff like that. There are many online games like shooter games, strategy games, multiplayer battle arena games, etc. These games are not addictive as battle royale games but it is also played in excessive amounts. Before the rise of battle royale games people used to prefer video games or console gaming like PS, Xbox, Nintendo, etc. According to the stats, the consumption of online games in general is populated mostly by male and it represents as male domination in gaming culture. The worldwide revenue from online games is increasing day by day. From mission based games to sports related games players can link up and play together. 
Online games not only have a negative impact but it also has a positive impact. But these days teenage groups are more confined within these internet games. If we see in the past, children used to prefer physical activities or outdoor games, they don't like to sit alone in the house, but now the thing is actually the opposite. I don't mean to say that going with technology is bad, it’s pretty good as it helps in the development of children and in today’s world technology is very essential. But seeing the daily routine of children, they are totally dependent on technology and they can’t just do anything without technology. While playing games children are unconscious about what is happening around him or her. Once a player is addicted to online games then he can do anything in order to play games. Addiction to online games is like addiction to drugs. Just like a drug addict can do anything in order to get drugs, exactly the same thing happens to players to buy vouchers or in-game items. If a player doesn’t have money to buy vouchers or anything he/she wants then they start to steal money and it is so disrespectful in the society. We have heard a lot of news regarding a boy who killed his friend because he doesn't have those in-game items that his friend has. Furthermore, children addicted to gaming isolate themselves from social life by focusing on the gaming world. These things make such children rude, selfish and have unstable emotions. We have seen many health conditions to those players such as the vision decreases, bone problems in hand(fingers), neck problems while bending their head for straight 2-3 hours playing games, etc.

It has a positive impact on social development on children. Players have a good spirit such as, sharing or helping others, interactions, a positive attitude and so on. To create these conditions, there must be good attention of parents towards their children and they must control their children who are addicted to online games. The thinking capacity of players increases while playing games and the higher the stage or level of the game, the more difficult it is to solve which increases the sense of thinking and problems solving skills. By playing games many people are earning money and it can be taken as one of the most positive factors. People are streaming on you tube or any other streaming platforms and by uploading game related videos on you tube and earning money. In this pandemic, many people were unemployed and gaming helped them to earn money. Gaming can also  be taken as an employment opportunity but in order to earn money you must work hard and must have some good gaming skills in order to make good content. With the rise in production of games there has been a rise in e-sports in gaming. Many people are playing tournaments to earn a title and money in gaming. There are many tournaments played at the local level, national level and international level.

Lastly, the e-sports community has grown so much that a team can represent his/her country in the world through gaming which is a pride moment for the nation. If this is taken wisely and professionally, it can be benefitted more and helps in the development of teenage brain.

नेपाली र म
- Aaditya Majhi - 22004, Grade ... 11 November, 2021

म  जन्मिएदेखि अहिलेसम्म नेपाल धेरै परिवर्तन भएको छ र परिवर्तन हुनु राम्रो पनि हो । म काठमाडौँमा जन्मिएको हुँ । नेपालका धेरै ठाउँहरू नघुमे पनि युट्युबबाट मैले धेरै ठाउँहरू कस्ता छन् भनेर अनुभव गरिसकेँ । अस्ति नै साँझको बेला युट्युबबाट नेपालको धरहरा अहिले कस्तो छ भनेर थाहा भयो । त्यति बेला नै अझ एउटा कुरा थाहा भयो, नेपालका राजालाई हिटलरले कार उपहार दिएका थिए । त्यति बेला बाटो नभएर कार बोकेर ल्याइएको थियाे । काठमाडौँ  यस्तै गरी समय परिवर्तन हुँदै जाँदा नेपालमा साना साना सडकहरू बन्दै गए । अझ पनि नेपालका धेरै ठाउँहरूमा सडक बनका छैनन् । काठमाडौँको चाबहिलको सडकका छेउमा रुखहरू हुने गर्थे । समयको परिवर्तनका साथै सडक अलिकति ठुलो भयो र रुखहरू काटिए । रुखहरू भएको कुरा मलाई पनि यही वर्ष थाहा भयो ।

नेपालमा बिजुलीले चल्ने गाडी चाहिँ मलाई दाइले  भन्नुभएको थियो । बिजुलीबाट चल्ने गाडी अहिले डिजेलबाट चल्छ । नेपालमा अहिले बिजुलीबाट चल्ने गाडी कम मात्रमा चल्छन् । नेपालमा २०७२ को भूकम्पले धेरै ठाउँहरूमा क्षति पुगेकाे कारणले पनि धेरै परिवर्तन आएकाे छ । हाम्रो घरको अगाडिको बाटो बने अघिल्लाे वर्ष मात्रै अलि राम्रो भएको हो । केही सालअगाडि नेपालमा धेरै ठाउँहरूमा खाली जग्गाहरू थिए तर आहिलेको समयमा सबै ठाउँहरूमा घरहरू बनेको छन् ।

नेपालमा विद्यार्थी जीवन
- Purab Marahatta - 23034, Grad ... 11 November, 2021

हामी सबैजनाको विद्यार्थी जीवन आइसकेको छ । विद्यार्थी जीवन भनेको हाम्रो जीवनको एकदम महत्त्वपूर्ण समय हो । हामीले विद्यार्थी जीवनमै हो सबै कुरा सिक्ने र भविष्यमा प्रयोग गर्ने । विद्यार्थी जीवन हाम्रो सानो उमेरदेखि सुरु हुन्छ । मेरो चाहिँ विद्यार्थी जीवनको सुरुवात पाँच वर्षदेखि भएको हो । विद्यार्थी जीवनमा हामीले पाउने भनेको शिक्षा हो । भनिन्छ नि शिक्षा भनेको अहिलेको समाजको ठूलो हतियार हो । यही भएर पनि होला हामी सबैजनाले शिक्षा लिइरहेका छाैँ । शिक्षा लिने धेरै माध्यमहरू छन्, जस्तैः विद्यालय गएर, अनलाइनबाट पढेर, आफूभन्दा ठुला वा साना मान्छेबाट सिकेर आदि तर मैले चाहिँ विद्यालयमै गएर शिक्षा अध्ययन गरिरहेको छु । 

हाम्रो देश नेपालमा धेरे मानिसहरूले अझै शिक्षा पाएका छैनन् । याे सरकारको असफलता हो । केही मानिसले पढ्न पाएका छैनन् भने केही मानिसले पढाइको महत्त्व नै थाहा पाएका छैनन् । मलाई लाग्छ, यो सरकारको ठुलाे असफलता हो किनकि सरकारले शिक्षा क्षेत्रलाई गम्भीरतापूर्वक लिएकै छैन । उदाहरणका लागि धेरै पहिला दुर्गम ठाउँहरूमा शौचालय थिएन । सरकारले नै शौचालय नभएकाहरूलाई सुविधा नदिने भनेकाले अहिले सबैको घरमा शौचालय छ तर हाम्रो सरकारले शिक्षाको क्षेत्रमा त्यस्तो गरेन । त्यही भएर मलाई लाग्छ यो सरकारकै असफलता हो तर सरकारलाई मात्रै दोष दिएर कहाँ हुन्छ र ? सरकारले गाउँमा शिक्षा दिने धेरै माध्यमहरू बनाएकाे छ, जस्तै; हाजिरी गरेमा भत्ता दिने, विद्यार्थीलाई स्कुलमा पूर्ण हाजिरी भो भने बधाई कार्यक्रममा पुरस्कार दिने आदि थुप्रै कामहरू गरेकाे छ । हामी चाहिँ कक्षा नर्सरीदेखि पढाइ अध्ययन गर्छन् र जहाँसम्म पढ्न सक्छाैँ, त्यहाँसम्म पढ्छाैँ । विद्यार्थीहरू पहिला विद्यालय जान्छन् अनि क्याम्पस जान्छन् अनि विश्वविद्यालय जान्छन् र विद्यार्थी जीवनको एउटा मात्र लक्ष्य छ, त्यो हो पढ्ने । 

हामी विद्यालय गएपछि हाम्रो देउता भनेका, हाम्रा मार्गदर्शकहरू भनेका हाम्रा गुरुहरू हुनुहुन्छ । सबै गुरुहरूको इच्छा भनेकाे आफ्ना विद्यार्थीले राम्रो गरुन् र आफ्नो जीवन एकदम राम्रो र उज्ज्वल बनाउन सकुन् भन्ने नै हाे । गुरुहरूकाे आफ्ना छात्राछात्रहरू असल मानिस बनेको देख्ने चाहना हुन्छ । केही चाहना पुरा गर्नलाई शिक्षकले मार्ग देखाउनुहुन्छ । विद्यार्थीहरूले आफ्ना विद्यालय, कलेज र विश्वविद्यालयमा कसरी पढ्ने ? कसरी खेल्ने ? कसरी यो समाजमा आफूलाई चिनाउन सक्ने ? कसरी असल मानिस बन्ने ? जस्ता धेरै कुरा सिक्न पाउँछन् । गुरुहरूले आफ्ना विद्यार्थीहरू कुलतमा फसेको थाहा पाएमा उनीहरूलाई कुलतबाट निस्किन एकदम ठूलो मद्दत गर्नुहुन्छ र शिक्षकले कसरी हामी सहयोगी बन्न सक्छाैँ भनेर पनि सिकाउनुहुन्छ । शिक्षकले हामीले के गर्नुपर्छ भनेर पनि सिकाउनुहुन्छ । शिक्षकले हामीले कसरी हाम्रो जीवन राम्रो बनाउन सक्छाैँ भनेर पनि सिकाउनुहुन्छ । 

अब हामीले नै हो हाम्रो देश बनाउने र हाम्रो देशलाई अगाडि बढाउने । अहिले हामीले शिक्षा पाएका छाैँ, पछि हामी हाम्रो नेपालका दुर्गम ठाउँहरूमा भएका मानिसलाई पनि शिक्षा प्रदान गर्न सक्ने हुनुपर्छ । शिक्षाले नै हामी सबैलाई राम्रो र नराम्रो बाटो चिन्न सक्ने  र गलत र सहीको फरक  छुट्ट्याउन सक्ने बनाउँछ, त्यसैले हामीले सबैलाई शिक्षा दिनुपर्छ । हाम्रो यो अहिलेको समाज बदल्नु छ भने सबैलाई पढलेख गराई राम्रो बनाउनुपर्छ । अहिले हामी अरू मुलुकभन्दा पछाडि परेका छाैँ । अब हामीले हाम्रो शिक्षा व्यवस्था बदलेर हाम्रो देशलाई सबैभन्दा अगाडि ल्याउनु सक्नुपर्छ तर प्रश्न छ हामीले याे गर्न सक्छाैँ त ?

Basketball
- Umanga Khatiwoda - 23047, Gra ... 11 November, 2021

Basketball is a widely popular and loved sport that is played all around the world. An essay on basketball would be incomplete without the mention of its smart moves and team-building benefits. Basketball is believed to have originated in Canada and the United States of America in the 19th century. There are several health benefits of playing basketball and it is an extremely fun physical activity.
Numerous physical and mental benefits result from playing basketball. Basketball is highly effective in promoting the cardiovascular health of its players. A healthy heart diminishes risks of heart diseases later in one’s life. Basketball’s high physical demand is crucial in burning calories and reducing body fat in its players.
In basketball, many violations are “fouls.” An example of fouls includes disruptive physical contact or personal foul penalized to an offensive by awarding the opponent player a free throw if he is fouled during the shooting process. Certain violations of the rules such as unsportsmanlike conduct are punishable by issuing a technical foul assessed against bench personnel, team or players. Technical fouls earn the opponents a free throw. During a regular game, the ball must be within the court. If a team sends the ball out, it loses possession to their opponent. The ball is out of the court if it dashes over the borderline or is in contact with a player outside the court. This is different from other sports such as volleyball, tennis or football where the ball remains, or the player remains inside provided any part is in touch with the borderline.
Players with the ball should not step with both their feet without dribbling, as this will be a violation referred to as travelling. The player’s hand cannot be directly below the ball while dribbling, as this will be an infraction called carrying the ball. Another rule of basketball is that the ball cannot be struck by the fist or be kicked. If a team gains control of their opponent’s side or front half court, it should not return the ball to their side or backcourt and be the first to possess it. Violating these rules leads to a change of the shot clock if committed by the defense or loss of ball possession.
There are four quarters in a regular basketball game, and each takes 10 or 12 minutes. In college basketball games, the game uses two-twenty minute halves. Extra time should take 5 minutes in all games except in high school, where it takes four minutes. Teams need to change sides after the first half of the game. A typical basketball game might take approximately 2 hours excluding the time when the game is inactive. At any given time, the court should have ten players, 5 from both sides. Despite substitutions being unrestricted, it can only be performed when the game is stopped. Additionally, teams must have a uniform consisting of a jersey and a pair of shorts. For identification purposes, the jersey should have a unique number in the team printed at the front and back. In some instances, the jerseys have the names of players, sponsors and team printed on them.
For a team to win a basketball game, it needs to have more points than their opponents at the end of the game. A tie, especially when the two teams end in a draw, is broken by adding extra time. The ball advances in the court either by bouncing while running or walking, or by passing from one player to another. The term dribbling refers to the advancing of the ball while running or walking. However, it is against the rules not to dribble the ball while moving, to double dribble, or to carry it. Double dribbling refers to holding the ball with both hands then continuing dribbling.
In conclusion, regulation basketball hoop comprises a rim or basket attached to a backboard. Violating the rules of the game results in a change of the shot clock if committed by the defense or loss of ball possession. Basketball teams comprise of five players, which includes the point guard, shooting guard, power forward, small forward and center. A typical basketball game might take approximately 2 hours excluding the time when the game is inactive.

Age of Sails
- Samyam Shrestha - 2022012, Gr ... 11 November, 2021

A battleship is an armored warship which consists of larger caliber guns which dominated naval warfare. A ship of line was a naval warship constructed during the age of sail. It was designed for naval tactics which depended upon two columns of opposing warships maneuvering the volley fire of cannons along their broadsides. The opposing ships with more firepower had more advantage. HMS Victoria was the first rate three decker ship of the line commissioned displacing 6959 tons. She was the largest wooden ship that entered the service. HMS Napoleon was the world's first steam-powered battleship, 90 - gun ship of the line of French navy which is also considered as the first screw battleship that was launched in 1850. 
 The great ‘Age of Sails’ is said to have existed between 1600 - 1850. The Spanish armada of 1588 started the trend for large scale sea battles. In the era of prefabrication, the variety of warships produced was staggering, and often unique warships were made during the process. But all the warships followed the same principle when it came into combat. “Men of War” termed ships were very impressive, heavily armed and feared by many people. These ships were one of the dangerous things to fight against. But, difficult to handle and slow were its major drawbacks. Minor, small ships were used for scouting areas whereas the grand fleet consisted of heavy armed weapons, most used in battle. During this period the tactics of engagement were simple in concept, but difficult to practice. Warships would line up in one deck showing their broadside. As a warship, major guns are located at the side of the ship. So, to show its full potential, the ships should be aligned showing their broadside to the enemy. It was a major advantage and disadvantage for the ship as exposing broadside results in more exposure of place to get hit and can be an advantage as the ship can use its full arm and ammunition. Hence, the naval tactic was termed “line of battle”. 
As the sailing vessel or ship reached their peak of size and complexity during the mid-19th century to early 20th century. This period is referred to as the “Golden Age of Sail”. After the construction of HMS Napoleon, multiple steam engine battleships were visible in action during the Crimean war. An ironclad is a battleship which was protected with iron and steel plates which used a steam engine as its major source of propulsion. March 1862, Battle of Hamptons Roads was noted as the first fight between ironclads, ironclad CSS Virginia fought USS Monitor. It was a naval battle during the American Civil War. 
The Age of sail had ended by 1873 with HMS Devastation being commissioned. It was the first battleship that didn’t carry any sails.

राजनीति, अन्ततः राजनीति
- Anukrama Poudyal - 22031, Gra ... 10 November, 2021

पृथ्वी नारायण साहको एक औँला जसले सङ्केत दिन्छ एकताको । महान् भक्ति थापा, कालु पाण्डे, धर्मभक्त माथेमा, पासाङ ल्हामु सेर्पा, अमरसिंह थापा, बलभद्र कुंवर आदि वीर योद्धाहरूको नाम सुन्दै शरीरमा जोसको रगतले हाम्रो इतिहासको सम्झना दिन्छ । 

जीवनमा खुसी मात्रै हुन्न, दुःख पनि हुन्छ भने जस्तै नेपाली राजनीतिमा वा नेपालको इतिहासमा पनि राम्रा कुराका साथै नराम्रा कुराका बादलहरू पनि पछ्याउँदै आइरहे । नेपालको राजनीतिको इतिहासमा सुनौला दिनहरू पनि धेरै रहे, जस्तैः वीर गोर्खालीहरूले आफ्नो वीरताले देशको रक्षा गरेका दिनहरू र दुःखका दिनहरू पनि धेरै रहे, जस्तैः जनताका प्रिय राजा वीरेन्द्रको हत्याकाण्ड भएकाजस्ता दुःखद दिनहरू । 

नेपालको अहिलेको राजनीतिको पनि दुवै राम्रा र नराम्रा पक्षहरू छन् । नराम्रा कुराबाट सुरु गर्नुपर्दा यहाँ जबो कुर्सी र सत्ताको नाममा राजा नै मारिन्छ भने त्यही सत्ता र कुर्सीको मोहमा करोडौँ निर्दोष आम जनताको जनआन्दोलनका नाममा घाँटी रेटिन्छ। यहाँ त्यही सत्ताको खेलमा ती लालची नेताहरू दिनहुँ कारोडौँ निर्मला पन्तजस्ता देशका छाेरीहरू बलात्कृत हुँदा पनि मौन बस्छन् ।

भन्ने गर्छन् नि, "जब पर्यो राती, अनि बुढी ताती ।", हो, यो उखान हाम्रो देशका नेता र सरकारी कर्मचारीहरूका लागि एकदम ठिक हुने गर्दछ । जब साउनको दोस्रो हप्ता लाग्न थाल्छ, तब मात्रै बजेट सक्नतिर उनीहरू लाग्छन् । वर्षभरि बनाउनु नपर्ने बाटो उनीहरूलाई प्रायः वर्षा याममा मात्रै बनाउन याद आउँछ, जसले गर्दा त्यो बनेको बाटो एक वर्ष त के छ महिनामै गिट्टी र बालुवा छुट्याउन सकिने हुन्छ । यस्तो महामारीको बेलामा पनि कर असुल्नको लागि बिन्दास लकडाउन खोलिन्छ अनि आफ्नो स्वार्थ पुरा भएपछि छोटो सूचनामा नै निषेधाज्ञा घाेषणा गरिन्छ ।

हाम्रा महान् नेताहरूको त जति बयान गर्यो त्यति कम हुन्छ । बुढापाकाले भन्ने गर्थे, "नेपाल सतीले सरापेको देश हाे रे ।", त्यसैकाे असर होला सायद जसको प्रभाव प्रत्यक्ष रूपमा नेपालको राजनीतिमा देख्न सकिन्छ । यहाँ कुर्सीकै मोहले गर्दा कहिले राम्रो काम गर्नेहरूको नाममा दाग लगाउने काम हुन्छ र जनतामाझ तिनीहरूलाई निचा देखाउने काम हुन्छ भने कहिले अरूले गरेको कामको जस आफूले लिन खोज्ने काम हुन्छ । यहाँ नेता र उनीहरूका झोलेहरूको मात्रै पेट भरिन्छ भने हामीजस्ता गरिब आम जनता भोकै नाङ्गै सडकमा माग्दै हिँड्न बाध्य पारिन्छन् ।

तर सबै दोष यी नेताहरूलाई दिन भने मिल्दैन किनभने हामी आम जनता पनि केही कम छैनौँ । जाबो दुई टुक्रा मासु र एक चुस्की रक्सीको मातमा हामी हाम्रो बहुमूल्य भोट तिनै कुर्सीधारी व्यक्तिहरूलाई दिन्छौँ । त्यसैले राजनीतिक दलहरू जति दोषी छन्, नेपालको राजनीतिको दुर्गतिका लागि त्यति नै हामी आम जनता पनि दोषी छौँ । हाम्रो राष्ट्रमा ठुलो सङ्ख्यामा रहेका मानिसहरू, जस्तैः ठुला व्यापारीहरूदेखि सरकारी कर्मचारीलगायतका हामी सबै यसबाट लाभ उठाइरहेका छौँ र हामी सबै अलिकति भएपनि दोषी छौँ ।

शासन व्यवस्था सुचारु हुने कडी नै राजनीति हो । असल मार्गमा डोरिएको राजनीतिले देशलाई समृद्ध बनाई त्यहाँका नागरिकको जीवनशैलीलाई सहज बनाइदिन्छ । त्यही राजनीति गलत दिशातर्फ उन्मुख भयो भने त्यसले देखाउने रूप हामीले विश्वका आन्तरिक गृहयुद्धमा फसेका सोमालिया, सुडान, सिरियाजस्ता मुलुकहरूमा देख्न सक्छाैँ ।

तसर्थ, राजनीति स्वयंमा नराम्रो होइन, जस्तो हामीमध्ये धेरैलाई अझै लाग्ने गर्छ । यसका संवाहकहरू, जो आफूलाई जनताको प्रतिनिधिको रूपमा प्रस्तुत गर्छन्, उनीहरूको नियत, काम गर्ने तौरतरिका आदिले देशको भविष्य निर्धारण गर्दछ। "राजनीति" शब्दलाई बद्नाम गराउने नेतामा दूरदर्शीताको अभाव भएको देखियो । दुर्भाग्य, राजनीतिले "राजनेता" जन्माउनु पर्नेमा सो हुन नसकेकोले आजकाे हाम्राे पुस्ता राजनीतिलाई मात्रै एउटा "फोहोरी खेल" को रूपमा मात्रै बुझ्न बाध्य भयाे ।

The quote above was written by Plato, an Athenian philosopher. Music is a learning, a therapy and a teaching tool. Music is a part of all of our lives, from childhood to old age. We all got introduced to music from our mother singing us to sleep. Music is therapy because of its positive changes in human behavior. Music is one of the most calming and soothing things. It is not only created by people, but it is also all around us in nature. In the mornings, when the birds chirp, the loud sound of waves in the ocean swishing, the hissing sound of trees and leaves rustling, all are the music in their way.Music has many benefits. It especially has health benefits. Music helps us reduce stress, improve mood, lessens anxiety, improves memory, improves exercise, eases pain, etc. It also has social benefits such as; it strengthens our empathy. It is also beneficial for students. Music positively impacts a child’s academic performance and assists in developing their social skills. A study from John Hopkins Medicine proved that music can give a brain workout.
Everyone has a different reason to listen to music.  Listening to your favorite song can completely uplift your mood if you are feeling down. Everybody is attached to music in their own way. Everyone has a different and unique reason for listening to music. In my opinion, everyone should listen to music because it can act as a company when no one is with you. There are different types of music so we have choices to listen to the type we like.
Nowadays, pop music is very popular. Almost everyone listens to pop music these days, especially teenagers. Music has evolved and has shifted its way to the time of now. The popularity of pop music skyrocketed in the 1980s. Pop stars like Michael Jackson rose to fame in our quickly growing society. Hip-hop also gained the platform and rose to fame after the 1980s. People today still listen to songs from the ’80s. Today, you can see teenagers and youths have earphones plugged in all the time. Pop music has also played a huge role in evolving the fashion industry and style. Teenagers also try to dress up like these pop stars and this can be a distracting factor for them. Apart from these, music has healed and helped people overcome their fear, pain and stressful life. 
Music has healing power and people often listen to music while meditating. It is also used for therapy. The Tibetan singing bowl also has these properties. The Tibetan singing bowl is a type of bell that vibrates and produces a rich and deep tone when played. Buddhist monks use this bowl for meditation practice. This singing bowl also produces music that is also used for personal spirituality.
As mentioned above, music has different purposes and different uses in an individual’s life. “Music is the universal language of mankind” this phrase was first said by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, an American poet. And Harvard's study also states that it is a universal language. Every culture enjoys music and songs. Music serves many different purposes. So, in my opinion, it is an essential part of our life.

Can violence resolve terrorism?
- Adhit Upadhyay - 22003, Grade ... 10 November, 2021

War on terrorism is terrorism itself. Terrorism is a global concern. We cannot solve terrorism which itself is a violent act by the means of violence. It is not the terrorists that we need to kill, rather the psychology of the terrorists. As put in by Malala Yousafzai, using violence as a tool to counter terrorism can kill terrorists but not terrorism. Violence can never get us to a final solution. 

Whether or not, to use violence as a way to counter terrorism has always been a topic of discussion to everyone.  It threatens peace and security. It is a criminal act where the innocents are killed in order to affect others. In terrorism, a group of people compels an individual, group, organization or the government  to do any act by risking the lives of the prisoners. Terrorism is an evil act, but ill treatments and tortures taken as a way to combat terrorism can make it even worse. Such measures espoused as method to fight terrorism has questioned our potentiality and sensibility to fight against the terrorism.

Violence against violence creates more violence. Through violence, we cannot stop terrorism. Terrorism will still be there no matter how badly we torture the terrorists as they do not get affected by their death or of any of their members. There are terrorists who accept their own death to harm other people and to complete their aim. When even death does not stop terrorism, being violent to end it is not going to help. To actually win terrorism, we need to know their root cause and begin solving it from its root. We need to start thinking from the terrorist’s psychology. Among various reasons for a person to get involved in terrorism, lack of awareness and illiteracy are some. The person falls prey due to lack of awareness. They do not realize them being the reason for the conflict. They can easily be influenced and misguided by others and might not have the ability of making the appropriate decision.  So, increasing awareness about terrorism, running campaigns about how it can affect the world, etc. might help. When combating terrorism, we need to act sensibly rather than implementing the violence. 

Brutality cannot help us in countering terrorism. Instead, other techniques which are non-violent will truly help in ending terrorism should be considered. Terrorism should be dealt with in a non-discriminatory and non-retroactive manner. The major reason behind the terrorism is the stereotypical behaviour shown towards the those following religions like Islam and accuse them for being a terrorist even when they condemn such acts.  Those people are boycotted socially and politically just because of the religion they follow which creates hatred among people. Also, the media coverage exhibits them in a negative way. All these must be considered and lead towards the betterment of society.
