श्रद्धा, भक्ति र सम्पूर्ण तराईको साझा सांस्कृतिक प्रतिबिम्बको रुपमा मनाइने छठ पर्व धार्मिक परम्पराअनुसार हर्षोल्लासका साथ मनाइन्छ । सत्य र अहिंसाप्रति मानवको रुचि बढाउने र सबै जीवप्रति सहानुभूति राख्न अभिप्रेरित गर्ने तराईवासीको महान् चाड हो- छठ पर्व । तराईका सबै जातजातिले साझा रुपमा मनाउने यस पर्वको विशेषता हो । सूर्यको उपासना परम्पराको मोहक पद्धति मानिएको संसारमा यही एक यस्तो पर्व हो जसमा अस्ताउदो र उदाउँदो सूर्यलाई पूजा गरिन्छ । यस पर्वमा चाहिने भाँडाकुँडा वस्तुजातको बन्दोबस्त तराईमा एक महिना अगाडिदेखि नै गर्न थालिन्छ ।  विशेष गरेर तराईवासीले कात्तिक शुक्लपक्षमा मनाउने यो पर्व चार दिनसम्म मनाइन्छ । कात्तिक महिनाको चौथीदेखि व्रतालु भई यो पर्व मनाउन सुरु गरिन्छ र सप्तमीको बिहान यो पर्वको समापन गरिन्छ । पहिलो दिन अर्थात् चतुर्थीका दिनलाई ‘अरबा–अरबाइन’ वा नहान खान भन्ने गरिएको छ । यो दिनमा व्रतालुहरुले खोला, नाला, नदी, पोखरी र तलाउलगायतका जलाशयमा गई नुहाइधुवाइ गरेर शुद्ध भई चोखो खाना खाने गर्छन् । व्रतीले भोजनमा माछामासु, लसुन, प्याज र कोदो जस्तो वस्तु परित्याग गरी यसै दिन देखि  व्रत बस्न थाल्छन् ।  पञ्चमी तिथि दोस्रो दिनलाई ‘खरना’ संरक्षण अर्थात् पापको क्षय भनिन्छ । खरना छठ पर्वको अघिल्लो दिन भएकाले यो दिन व्रतालुहरु दिनभरि निर्जला व्रत बस्छन्। षष्ठीका दिन अस्ताउँदो सूर्यलाई अर्घ दिएर र अर्को दिन उदाउँदाे सूर्यलाई अर्घ दिएर यो पर्व समापान गरिन्छ ।

Imagine a cloudy day, you are scolding the clouds in anticipation of the sun to once again give the earth its warm sunlight. But, reality is cruel, you hear a sound as if something in the sky is falling down from the sky. Looking above you see a huge gap in the clouds as a 21-ton rocket debris falls down exactly to the place you are, more precisely right on top of your head. You are pretty lucky as only 1 in 75,000 have such a chance, “Enjoy the moment” --- Should I ???

The bad news is that you won’t survive the crash and so will the people who are around you, specifically around the periphery of the impact zone. Now, that is unlucky. Most of you may be notified with the fact that China had launched the largest rocket it had made last week. News reporters have found that the debris from the rocket, originally planned to fall on the sea has deviated from its course of action causing it difficult to find its crash site. More than 80% of the Earth’s Surface was first designated as the potential of crash at first.

Earlier, before it deviated from its path, Space institutions around the world have given their own theory and reports on where the debris might fall. The debris has been said to fall around either near Maldives or in the Mediterranean Basin. Well, Government Officials have expressed that there may not be harm to Human Lives and only if the unknown happens may the Human Lives in certain parts be threatened. Such reports of uncontrolled rockets have been often heard, the last one also being from China that fell in the Atlantic Ocean which was west of Africa.

Nevertheless, Good news is that the 100 metre debris has fallen down in the “No Man's Land” Indian Ocean but the danger is still there though not for now but in future. What if it were in Man’s Land? We would have lost many lives. Technology has given us more but we sometimes could have control over it.

यस निषेधज्ञाको कारणले गर्दा संसारमा धेरै मानिसहरूको समयमा सुत्ने र समयमै उठ्ने बनी हराएको छ । मानिसहरूमा निद्रा पुगेन भने उनीहरूको शरीरमा सन्तुलन गर्ने शक्ति उपलब्ध हुँदैन । वैज्ञानिकहरूले खोज गर्दा किशोर र किशोरीहरूमा निद्राको कमी भएको पाइयो । ११ देखि १९ वर्षको उमेरका व्यक्तिलाई कमसेकम ८ देखि १० घण्टासम्मको निद्रा आवश्यक छ ।  

यदि हामीलाई निद्रा पुगेन भने हाम्रो शरीरका अङ्गहरू कमजोर हुँदै जान्छन्, केही कुरामा ध्यान दिन पनि साह्रै गाह्रो हुन्छ, दैनिक कार्य गर्न पनि कठिन हुन्छ । 

समयमै सुत्ने र समयमै उठ्ने गर्यौं भने हाम्रो मानसिक, भावनातमक र शारीरिक भागले राम्रो प्रदर्शन गर्न सक्छ । समयमै सुत्नाले सहने शक्ति र दिमागले काम गर्ने क्षमता पनि बढ्छन् । त्यसैले नै समयमा सुत्नु र समयमै उठ्नु जरुरी छ । 

Hello person, my mind avoided you at the first

When my heart couldn’t trust,

I noticed your eyes on me on the day

But couldn’t make out anything of thrust!

 

It was the first time in many months,

My heart was being such a dunce.

You were being nice to others,

Which made me doubt u as a deceiver.

 

You captured my every movement in your eyes,

I recalled u telling me u get butterflies.

I didn’t get your signal every time you did,

But now I’m crying like hell for the GOODBYE you bid.

 

Say it would be a promise;

A promise with your scared love for me.

Say it wouldn’t be a lie,

Just like my past toxic love life.

 

Hey there, those days with you were,

Were magical and very pretty.

You had promised to stay,

Until our fifty shades of hallway.

 

Dearest person, I realize that I had loved you

From my heart and all the way within,

Hoped my pure love for you

Will never become unforeseen!

Hope you can still feel this;

Dear You, I still love you!!!

कोरोना भाइरसले नयाँ नयाँ रूप लिएर नेपालमा पनि तीव्रताका साथ प्रवेश गरिसक्यो। सङ्क्रमितको सङ्ख्या दिन प्रतिदिन बढ्दै गइरहेको छ भने मान्छेहरूको मृत्युको सङ्ख्या पनि बढिरहेको छ । सरकारले वैशाख १६ गते बिहीबार बिहान ६ बजेबाट  निषेधाज्ञा जारी गरेको छ । नेपाल सरकारले अहिले सबै मानिसहरूलाई आ-आफ्नो घरमा सुरक्षित बस्न आग्रह गरेको छ । सबै विद्यालय र कलेजहरू पनि बन्द भए । हाल अनलाइन कक्षा सञ्चालन सबै विद्यालयहरू र कलेजहरूले गरिरहेका छन् ।  

भारतमा नेपालमाभन्दा पनि भयानक स्थिति छ । त्यहाँ अहिले लाखाैँकाे सङ्ख्यामा सङ्क्रमित छन् । दैनिक हजाराैँ जनाले ज्यान गुमाइरहेका छन् । अहिले नयाँ भेरियन्टको भारइस निकै  कडा रहेको र यसले शरीरमा छिट्टै असर पारेका कारण दोस्रो लहरमा मृत्यु दर धेरै नै बढी देखिएको छ।  यो भाइरस मान्छेबाट मान्छेमा सर्छ ।  यसका लक्षणहरू धेरै छन् । सामान्य ज्वरो , रुघा खोकी लाग्यो  भने तुरुन्तै नजिकको स्वास्थ्य केन्द्र वा अस्पताल गएर पि सि आर टेस्ट गरिहाल्नुपर्छ।  श्वास प्रश्वासमा पनि समस्या आउँछ । ज्यान गल्ने , खानाको स्वाद नआउने , केही सामानको बास्ना नआउने आदि कोरोना राेगका  लक्षणहरू हुन् । 

यदि कसैलाई कोरोना लागिहाल्यो भने पनि बिल्कुल आत्तिनु हुँदैन । तुरुन्त अस्पताल जानुपर्छ । डाक्टरसँग सल्लाह लिनुपर्छ र डाक्टरले लेखिदिएकाे ‌ औषधी खानुपर्छ । डाक्टरकाे औषधीका अतिरिक्त घरायसी औषधी जस्तै: गुर्जो, जिरा पानी, तुलसी आदि पनि सेवन गर्नुपर्छ । होम आइसाेलेसनमा बस्नुपर्छ । सरसफाइमा ध्यान दिनुपर्छ । राेगप्रतिराेधात्मक क्षमता बढाउन भिटामिनयुक्त खानेकुरा खानुपर्छ । तनाबबाट टाढा रहनुपर्छ । त्यसैले काेराेानाबाट बच्न  सामाजिक दुरी कायम गराैँ  ।  घरमै बसौँ , सुरक्षित रहौँ। 

सङ्गीत आज हाम्रो जीवनको सबैभन्दा महत्त्वपूर्ण अंश बन्न गएको छ । हामीले प्रत्येक दिन सुन्ने सङ्गीतले हाम्रो भावनालाई परिवर्तन गर्दछ । सङ्गीत मानिसहरूलाई एकजुट गर्ने एक शक्तिशाली औजार पनि भएको छ । उदाहरणका लागिः राष्ट्रगानले त्यस राष्ट्रका जनतालाई एकतामा बाँधेर एकताबद्ध बनाउँछ र जब हामी आफ्नो राष्ट्रगान सुन्छौँ, हामी त्यसमा गर्व गर्दछौँ । सङ्गीतले समाजमा पनि ठुलो भूमिका खेल्छ । समाजमा कुनै खेल, रमाइलो पार्टी आदि हुँदा हामी सङ्गीतको प्रयोग गर्छाैँ । यसले मानवीय सम्बन्ध बढाउँछ ।   

विभिन्न अनुसन्धानका अनुसार यो पत्ता लागेकाे छ कि सङ्गीत सुनेर हामीले राम्रो शिक्षा लिन सक्छाैँ । सङ्गीतले हाम्रो मस्तिष्कमा पनि ठुलो भूमिका खेल्छ । यसले हामीलाई धेरै कुरा सम्झिन मद्दत गर्छ, सम्झिने तागत बढाउँछ । सङ्गीतले मानिसका विविन्न चिन्ताहरू हटाउन सहयोग गर्छ । सङ्गीतले हाम्रो व्यक्तित्व देखाउँछ, अनुसन्धानका अनुसार हामी कसरी हाम्रो वरिपरिको संसारलाई बुझ्छौँ भन्ने कुरा सङ्गीतबाट प्रभावित हुन सक्छ ।

सङ्गीतले हाम्रो सम्झिने तागत बढाउँछ भन्दैमा गीत सुन्दै पद्छु भन्दा नराम्रो असर पनि पर्न सक्छ । शब्द भएको गीतले हाम्रो अध्ययनबाट ध्यान विचलित गर्न सक्छ । हरेक कुराको सीमा हुन्छ, जुन सङ्गीतमा पनि लागु हुन्छ । सङ्गीतले हाम्रो भावनामा फरक पार्छ । गीत सङ्गीत सुन्दा हामीलाई आनन्दको अनुभव हुन्छ । त्यति मात्र हैन सङ्गीतले हाम्रो थकाई मार्न पनि मद्दत गर्छ ।  

“Happy birthday, my dear!”

“Happy birthday!”

“Happy birthday sis!”

“Thanks everyone!”

Today is my birthday. And being overwhelmed with wishes feels very surreal. Smiles everywhere. Food scattered all around. I even got a teddy bear! When was the last time everything was this fun? I can’t remember. Ever since the war started, everyday has been a living hell. Water became scarce, food even scarcer. It has been a while since we had this fun. And to think that my family would surprise me with this feels like I’m in heaven.

“You’re the best family I could ever ask for! I can never be able to repay this to you.”

“Darling, we want nothing in return, especially during your birthday. Your smile is enough to make us last through this war scarred life of ours.”

“No! That won’t do. It may have been my birthday but you still used precious food just to make me happy. I’ve decided! I’m gonna buy huuuuuge gifts for all of you first thing after the war that you won’t be able to believe your eyes!.”

“Haha. Then we will happily wait for that day, dear. Gosh, I can’t believe you were 11 just a few days ago. You already seem like an adult.”

“That’s coz I am. See, I can cook and feed everyone!”

“Ha - call yourself that once you’ve paid taxes. And you’re still carrying that teddy.”

Laughter courses throughout the room.This truly is the best day ever. All I ever want is here and I never want to lose this. ----

“Hey sis! Come play!!”

“Ugh- what am i to do with you. You know this is my birthday right. But since I am in a good mood, I’ll play with you”

“Yayy!!”

I played with my brother for the rest of the day. It felt like five minutes but 3 hours had already passed. I helped my mom arrange for dinner, and bake the cake. Today might be the only day we’re able to eat like this. But for that exact reason, I have to make it worth it. Everyone should be happy.
“Dinner’s ready!”

“I told you to rest today darling! It’s your birthday.”

“Exactly! Since it’s my birthday, I get to do whatever I want! And I wanted to help mum!”

“Oh you”

We sit around the dinner table as the sky dusks. Truly, I could ask for nothing more than this. This must be a blessing from God. The happiest day of my life. I’m going to cherish this memory even after I die!

“So darling, did you make your wish?”

“Yeah!! I wished to be a doctor. Since a lot of people are getting injured because of the war, I wanted to become someone that can heal them. So, I asked God to make me a doctor!”

“That is a wonderful wish my dear. I can’t believe we have such a beautiful child like you! I love you so much!”

“Yeahh, I lov-----”

“This is Bravo-6. We have landed successfully.”

“Copy that Bravo-6. Scan the area for hostiles”

“Roger that”

“Did we really have to nuke this place? This area was filled with civilians. We may have been at war but this is too much”

“There is nothing we can do. We only follow orders.”

“Hey, I see something. Might be a survivor.”

“Well?”

“This is awful. Half of her body is torn off. Shrapnels all over her body. She should be dead yet she is still breathing and holding on to that toy, a teddy bear”

“She’s saying something”
“.....i…...love….you…...too…..”

“She’s been saying that again and again.”

“Pull out your gun”

“What?! Why”

“Trust me, it’s for her sake. Give her a painless death rather than a fleeting dream”

“...”

*bang*

“Alpha-1 to Bravo-6, we are retreating”

“Bravo-6, copy that”

“I hope that was for the best”

“All we can do is hope”

One of the dimensions of democracy can be referred to as secularism because it surely implies the extension of democratic ideas of liberalism and individualism in the realism of religion. The protestant reformers had been asking for freedom of judgment of right and wrong and secularism stood for a protest towards the theological hegemony of the Pope. The democratization of ecclesiastical groups was once called secular response in Europe. Nepal had no organised Hindu or Buddhist religious institutions, same with the Christian church. On the other hand, it had an indigenous thing of secularisation from the mediaeval times.

The spirit of tolerance and coexistence grew to become a landmark of secular mind-set and outlook. Asoka’s famous twelfth rock edict on ‘Religious Toleration’ echoes it. It triumphed in the reign of Akbar, who, being a liberal Muslim ruler used to be alive to the risks of non-secular bigotry and tried to promote country wide harmony by way of his catholic eclecticism and secular policies. The Constitution drafted by members of parliament and  posthumously promulgated by Dr. Ram Baran Yadav in 2074 had a particular provision concerning secularism.

Few Ministers paying a tribute to Nepali eclecticism did no longer permit the European concept to enter into the Constitution due to the fact faith in the Nepali context can by no means be ‘one last Book way’ of knowing the truth. Religion in Nepal has extraordinary meanings to special humans as individuals, as citizens and as co-religionists. Rinchen Tamang, a veteran freedom fighter and litterateur firmly maintained that secularism can neither be a religion, nor indifference to religion, nor mere tolerance and coexistence of religions.

 Those who saw it as anti-communists had been disregarded on the floor that spiritual groups are no longer communities. Broadly speaking, it is used not as adversarial to faith however as divorced from all religion or religious having nothing to do with the behaviour of nation affairs. In Nepal the word has been used not in anti-religious sense, but that means treatment to all non-secular on an equal footing and ruling out any discrimination of any Indian on the floor of his religion.

 The utilization of equal recognition to all has recognized the word secular with tolerance amongst the distinctive religions in Nepal. In-fact “Secularism does not now imply irreligion or atheism or even stress on material comforts. It declares that it lays stress on the universality of non-secular values which may be attained by a range of ways.” Thus, in nutshell, secularism tends to have equal reputation to all religions in the context of Nepal.

कोमल स्पर्श सम्झँदै 

आज म फेरि पनि आएकी छु,

तिम्रो त्यो हरेक पलको याद गर्दा गर्दै

तिमीसँग रमाएको समय प्रत्यक्ष्य  सम्झँदै

फेरि पनि आएकी छु ।

 

तिमी दयालु थियौ,

तिम्रो त्यो माया, ममता र शान्त स्वभाव

याद छ तिम्रो काखमा बसेर झुलेको

त्यो अमूल्य स्नेह सम्झँदै

आज म फेरि पनि आएकी छु ।

 

के लाग्छ तिमीलाई,‌ तिमीलाई छाडी जान्छु ?

जान्नँ म कहिले पनि जान्नँ,

कहिले हरिबहादुर, कहिले काले आएर 

तिमीलाई दु:ख दिए, चोट पुर्याए, 

मैले त्यस समयमा केही गर्न सकिनँ, 

तर तिम्रो नि:स्वार्थ ममता, माया सम्झँदै

आज म फेरि पनि आएकी छु ।

मनोविज्ञान मन र व्यवहारको अध्ययन हो । यसले जैविक प्रभावहरू, सामाजिक दबाबहरू, र वातावरणीय कारकहरूलाई समाहित गर्दछ जसमा व्यक्तिहरूले कसरी सोच्छन्, व्यवहार गर्छन् र महसुस गर्छन् भन्नेजस्ता कुराहरू पर्दछन् । मनोविज्ञानको अझ गहिराे समझ प्राप्त गर्न मनाेविज्ञानसम्बन्धी कुरा गर्दा पायसले व्यक्तिलाई उनीहरूका आफ्ना कार्यहरूको अन्वेषणका साथै अन्य व्यक्तिहरूको अझ राम्रो समझ प्राप्त गर्न मद्दत गर्दछ । मनोविज्ञान धेरै महत्त्वपूर्ण छ । मनोविज्ञान व्यक्तिहरूका उनीहरू कसरी सोच्छन्, कसरी महसुस गर्छन् वा कसरी व्यवहार गर्छन् भन्नेजस्ता विशेषताहरूको सारांश हो । मनोविज्ञानको एक उदाहरण किशोर किशोरीहरूको व्यवहार हो ।

गलपनकाे पनि चर्चा हुने गर्छ । पागलपन सामान्यतया सबै प्रकारका मनोवैज्ञानिक समस्याहरूसँग सम्बन्धित छ । यो साझा मान्यता हो कि मनोवैज्ञानिकहरूले पागल व्यक्तिहरूसँग व्यवहार गर्छन् । यो धारणा सही छैन । केवल क्लिनिकल मनोवैज्ञानिकहरूजस्ता विशेषज्ञहरू मनोवैज्ञानिक, मानसिक समस्या भएका व्यक्तिहरूसँग व्यवहार गर्छन् । त्यसो भए पनि तिनीहरूलाई 'पागल' भन्न सकिँदैन ।

 मनोविज्ञानको धेरै स्थान छ र क्षितिज आशाजनक देखिन्छ । मनोविज्ञानकाे उत्तम भविष्यका लागि यसले यसका पेसेवरहरूको कठोर प्रयासको माग गर्दछ । एक स्वस्थ जनसङ्ख्या एक स्वस्थ देश हो । स्वास्थ्य, मनोविज्ञान र मानसिक स्वास्थ्यको सबैभन्दा महत्त्वपूर्ण पक्षलाई सार्वजनिक र राष्ट्रिय स्तरबाट प्राथमिकताको आवश्यकता छ ।

 

 

 

The brain is the central organ of our body from where we can think and function our body. I think the powerful organ in our body is the brain because it gives shape to our thoughts and tells us to function in different parts in different ways of our body.  Let's take an example: our brain saves more information, knowledge, etc. than we can even think. Lots of people cannot save/remember everything that they aim to save or remember, on contrary they can remember their interesting things in the brain.This is how the brain functions. Everyone knows that Hitler manipulated his soldiers so that he can have a good force. He forced his people to remember what he said,or focus on specific ideas and the brain was compelled to save that.

From the research, I found that we can make our brain powerful by training it. To get some new thoughts we can go to the diffuse mode in our brain. Diffuse mode is that where we can get new thoughts and from those thoughts, we can go to our focus mode in our brain. Focus mode is like concentrating or focusing on things.

Painters, many scientists, philosophers go into a diffuse mode in their brain to think of something new, to discover new, to create new ideas and theories. To be a millionaire or a murder is all depend upon the function of ones brain and how we train it. To be a millionaire we can get different ideas by reading a book and implementing them all depending upon our mind.Getting new ideas, using money or other different things all depend on our mind. Thus the brain is most powerful and it manipulates one to achieve anything, good or bad but one needs to choose and train accordingly.
