सामान्यतया १८ वर्षमुनिकाे उमेरका व्यक्तिलाई बालबालिका भन्ने गरिन्छ । बालबालिका भनेका कलिला माटा हुन्, जस्ताे आकार दियाे त्यस्तै बन्छन् भन्ने भनाइ कयाैँ पटक सुनेका यी मेरा कानहरूले र अरू उमेरकाले भन्दा बाेलेका, सुनेका र देखेका कुराहरू छिट्टै सिकाे गर्छन् भन्ने अनुभव गरेकाे याे मेराे मनले मेराे वरिपरि देखिने साँचा दृश्यहरूलाई नकार्न धेरै प्रयत्न गरिरहेका हुन्छन् ।

 बाटाे हिँड्दा नियालेर हेर्दा कलिला हातहरूले कलम समाउने ठाउँमा चुराेटकाे खिल्ली समाएकाे देख्छु । सभ्य र सत्य शब्द निस्किनुपर्ने ती मुखबाट सुन्न नसकिने शब्दहरू निस्किरहेका हुन्छन्, अनि साेच्न बाध्य हुन्छु उसकाे परिवार र समाजबारे ।

 हामीले बालबालिकासँग बसेर के हेरिरहेका छौँ, के बाेलिरहेका छौँ र के गरिरहेका छौँ भन्ने कुराले धेरै अन्तर ल्याउँछ । कृपया याद गर्नुहाेस्, कतै हामीले साना बालबालिका नै त हुन् भनेर नराम्रा शब्द त प्रयाेग गरिरहेका छैनौँ ? कतै हामीले के बुझ्छन् र यिनीहरूले भनेर कसैलाई रुष्ट व्यवहार त देखाइरहेका छैनौँ ? पारिवारिक झगडा, नराम्राे विचार, स्वार्थीपन र आफूले देखाउने व्यवहारबाट बालबालिकालाई कतै नराम्रो असर त परेकाे छैन ?

एक बालक/बालिकाबाट हामीले उसकाे परिचय मात्र हाेइन, उसकाे पारिवारिक चरित्रकाे पनि अनुमान लगाउन सक्छौँ । घरमा नराम्रो शब्दले गाली गरेर मान्छेकाे अगाडि आइस्याेस र हजुरकाे प्रयाेग गरेर के फाइदा ? आफूले खराब व्यवहार अरूलाई देखाएर तिमी असल बन्नुपर्छ बाबु भन्नुकाे के औचित्य ? अनि आफूले आदर नगरी ठुलालाई आदर सम्मान गर्नुपर्छ भन्नुकाे के मूल्य ?

 हाम्राे नेपाली समाजमा एउटा सदियाैँ पुरानाे चलन बसेकाे छ, एक घरका अभिभावक अर्काे घरका बालबच्चासँग आफ्ना नानीबाबुकाे तुलना गर्छन् । बिहान भर्खर हरि दाइ फलानाका छाेराछाेरीजस्तो गर्नुपर्छ, तैँले त केही गर्न सक्दैनस् भन्दै हुनुहुन्थ्यो तर याे त केबल एउटा उदाहरण मात्र हाे । साँच्चै भन्नुपर्दा याे सबै बालबालिकाहरूकाे कथा र व्यथा हाे । अभिभावकज्यू, सबै बालबालिका आफ्नाे हिसाबले छुट्टै र भिन्न साेचका हुन्छन् के साँच्चिकै एकअर्कामा तुलना गर्न मिल्छ त ?

 अरूकाे देखासिकी गर्ने बानीले याे समयमा पनि कतिपय बालबालिका आफूले चाहेकाे पढ्न र गर्न पाइरहेका छैनन् । खाेज्ने हाे भने अझै पाइन्छन् त्यस्ता व्यक्तिहरू जसले आफ्नाे रुचि छाडेर अभिभावककाे कर र डरले अर्काे क्षेत्र चुनेका छन् । अनि कहाँबाट हुन्छ त परिवर्तन र विकासकाे सुरुवात, जब कि त्यो क्षेत्रमा आफ्नाे रुचि नै हुँदैन ।

 यी कुराहरू तिता छन् तर नियालेर हेर्नुस्, सत्यताकाे खानी पनि यिनैभित्र लुकेको छ, तिताे सत्य जसरी ।

चिनकाे उहानबाट सुरु भएको काेराेना भाइरस अहिले विश्वभरि नै फैलिएको छ । यो भाइरसकाे कुनै पनि औषधी बनेको छैन तर विभिन्न अनुसन्धानहरू भइरहेका छन् । यसै गरी हाम्रो देश नेपालमा पनि दिन प्रतिदिन भाइरसको सङ्क्रमण बढ्दै जाँदा कति मनिसको ज्यान पनि गएको छ । नेपाल सरकारले यसको रोकथाम र नियन्त्रणका लागि लकडाउन गरेकाे थियोे तर अहिले लकडाउन नभए पनि कोराेनाको प्रभाव अझ छ । 

 कार्यालयहरू पूर्ण रूपमा सञ्चालन भए पनि विद्यालयहरू पूर्ण रूपमा सञ्चालन भएका छैनन् जसले गर्दा धेरै विद्यार्थीहरूको पढाइमा असर पुगेको छ । लकडाउनको अवस्थामा विद्यालयहरूले अनलाइन शिक्षा दिन प्रयास गर्दै थिए र छन् । नेपाल एक विकासाेन्मुख देश भएकाले विकट ठाँउहरूका विद्यार्थीहरूले इन्टरनेट र टेलिभिजनमार्फत् पनि पढ्न पाइरहेका छैनन् जसले गर्दा विद्यालय सञ्चालन गर्न सञ्चालकहरू वाध्य भएका हुन् । जसको आर्थिक स्थिति कमजोर छ, उसलाई यो अवस्थामा अझ चुनौती थपिएको छ । कति मनिस यो भइरसका कारण खान नपाएर मरेका पनि छन् । पहिले उनीहरू बिहान खाना खाएर काममा जान्थे भने अहिले प्राय: घरमै बस्नु परेको छ । घरमै बस्नुपर्ने अवस्था भएकालेे डिप्रेसनको प्रभाव बढ्दै गएको छ । वृद्ध भएका मानिसहरूलाई पनि केही परेमा अस्पताल जान समस्या परिरहेको छ । गर्भवती महिलाहरूले नियमित स्वास्थ्य जाँच गर्न जानलाई पनि सास्ती भोग्नु पर्ने भएको छ । 

 लकडाउन खुले पनि हरेक मानिसभित्र अझै पनि डर कायमै छ किनभने हालसम्म पूर्ण रूपमा कोरोनाको अन्त्य भएको छैन । कुनै कुनै देशहरूमा अझ पनि लकडाउन खोलिएको छैन, त्यसैले सबै जनाले सवधान भएर जीवन चलाउनुपर्छ ।

Sparkling stars, suspicious tasks, wish to regret;

hey shooting star, where do you go taking all the secrets?

sitting on the terrace amidst the whistling cold wind,

willing to move on but hope doesn't give a hint.

 

I loved and loved; stated once that some things cannot be solved.

when the lines of hands and hands calmed,

Didn't get it; I never owned you,

cause your mind had a crew.

The wind blew high, and the moon slowly witnessed cry.

The Japanese word ‘Ronin’ describes a Samurai without a Master who Wonders alone. The status of a Ronin varied across different time periods in Ancient Japan. The Ronins can generally be defined as failures or the Samurai's who had committed the act of Seppuku, Seppuku basically means Samurai’s way of committing suicide, those who refused Seppuku became Outcasts most times a Ronin. Most Ronin’s after refusing Seppuku became mercenaries and bodyguards.

One of the most Legendary Ronin is Miyamoto Musashi, He is also Japan’s greatest swordsman of all time. Musashi became a Ronin after he escaped death in the battle of Seki Gahaga when serving general Hireogi. He was also a Philosopher, Artist, and Buddhist. Growing up Miyamoto was a very Ambitious young boy, he had already mastered basic swordplay by the age of 7, In Ancient Japan when two Clans fought they’d select one champion to represent them in the battle later the Champion’s fought each other and whoever won their corresponding clan was declared Victorious, this was convenient for the clan’s as they didn’t have to risk losing a lot of Soldiers. 

Musashi also was a Champion. Musashi was known for showing up hours late to duels to cause psychological stress to the opponent. He was known for his mastery of the two-sword style (Story). He fought his first duel at the age of 13 when he saw a sign put up by the Warrior Arima Kihei alongside the Siyo river challenging any local swordsman. Musashi rose to the challenge and wrote his name in the paper. When the day Arrived 13-year-old Musashi killed Arima Kihei who thought he’d have an easy win against such an adolescent.  At the age of 17, Musashi fought the decisive battle of Seki Gahagan. This monumental battle marked the beginning of the Edo period, Musashi later became the provincial governor of Miyamoto, his birthplace. Musashi spent many years learning Buddhism and Swordsmanship. Musashi later spent his life in a very artistic way, He was into Painting, Sculpture and some history books even state that he was into Articiture. Musashi wrote the book “The Five Rings” which is considered one of the greatest books in Japanese history. In his book, he talks about his young life as a prodigy samurai, his beliefs, and talks about 21 principles of life which he thinks must be followed by everyone to obtain satisfaction called Dyokko. He died in Hugo Province around 1640 AD aged 60. There are so many things we can learn from Musashi’s life, he is undoubtedly one of the greatest people to ever step foot on Planet Earth.

*All Events mentioned in this article were taken from manga Vagabond, which is a manga based on Musashi’s life, highly recommended :)*

नेपाल बहुसांस्कृतिक देश हो । बहुसांस्कृतिक देश हुनाले यहाँ विविन्न खालका मानिसहरूको बसोबास छ । विविन्न मानिसहरू एउटै समाजमा बस्दा कहिलेकाहीँ झैझगडा हुन सक्छ । समाजमा हुने यस्ता समस्यालाई नै हामी सामाजिक समस्या भन्छौँ । आजको एक्काइसौँ शताब्दीमा सामाजिक समस्याहरू बढ्दै गइरहेका देखिन्छन् । नारीमाथि अत्याचार, हत्या र हिंसा, भेदभाव, दाइजो प्रथा,नेपाली चेलीबेटीको बेचबिखन, छुवाछुत, अन्धविश्वास आदि सबै सामाजिक समस्या हुन् । यस्तै समस्याहरूले गर्दा आजभोलि युवा मृत्युदर तीव्र गतिमा बढ्दै गएको पाइन्छ । 

ती समस्याहरूमध्ये पहिलो  भनेको अन्धविश्वास हो । यो समस्या धेरै जस्तो गाउँघरतिर पाइन्छ । गाउँमा एउटा मान्छे वा बच्चा रोगको सिकार भयो भने मानिसहरू उसलाई डाक्टरकहाँ लग्नुको सट्टा उपचारका लागि धामीझाँक्रीकहाँ लग्छन् । डाक्टरमा विश्वास गर्नुको बदलामा धामीझाँक्रीकहाँ लाने गरेकाले हरेक वर्ष गाउँमा धेरै मान्छेको मृत्यु भएको खबर सुनिन्छ । त्यसै री हिँड्दा हिँड्दै कालो बिरालोले बाटो काट्यो भने अलच्छिन लग्छ भन्ने सोच धेरै मानिसको मस्तिस्कमा छ । यस्ता नचाहिने सोचले गर्दा हाम्रो देश विकासमा पछि परेको छ । त्यसैले देश विकास गर्नु छ भने पहिले यस्तो सोच सबै मानिसको दिमागबाट निकाल्नु एकदम आवश्यक छ । 

भ्रष्टाचार पनि  एउटा सामाजिक महारोग हो । यसलाई कम नगरेसम्म जस्तोसुकै व्यवस्था आए पनि र जोसुकैको नेतृत्व भए पनि देश अगाडि बढ्न सक्दै सक्दैन । सामान्य रूपमा भ्रष्टाचार भनेको घुस लिने वा दिने काम हो । याे समाजमा भ्रष्टाचारीको कारणले राम्रो र ज्ञानी विधार्थीको भर्ना भइरहेको छैन तर मुर्खहरूको भर्ना घुस दिएर भइरहेको छ । आज नेताहरूले भ्रष्टाचार गरेको कारणले देश पछाडि पर्छ र विकास पनि भइरहेको छैन । धनी मान्छे नै अहिले अगाडि हुन्छन् र विभिन्न नराम्रा काम घुस दिएर गराउँछन् । आजको दुनियाँमा थोरै मान्छेहरू राम्रा हुन्छन् तर धेरै मान्छे भ्रष्टाचारतर्फ लागेका हुन्छन् । पैसा कमाउनका लागि भ्रष्टाचार आजकल बढ्दै  गइरहेको छ । यो हाम्रो समाजको एक जटिल समस्या हो । यसलाई काबुमा राख्नका लागि समाजले भ्रष्टाचारीलाई महत्त्वपूर्ण पाठ पढाउनुपर्छ । 

अहिले समाजमा मानिसहरू सानालाई जात तथा धर्मका नाममा भेदभाव गर्ने र हेप्ने गर्छन् । साना अर्थात्  तल्लो जतिका मानिसलाई काम पनि दिँदैनन् । उदाहरणका लागि हाम्रो पाल्पामा विभिन्न जातजातिका मानिसहरूको बसोबास छ तर अझै धेरै मानिस नराम्रो सोच लिएर बसेका छन् । उनीहरूको आफ्नो काम  बिग्रियो भने अरूमाथि दोष दिने गर्छन् र जथाभावी नचाहिने कुरामा वादविवाद गर्न थाल्छन्ख। यही कारणले समाजमा विभिन्न  समस्याहरू सिर्जना हुन्छन् । कहिले पैसा चोरेको कारणले झगडा गर्छन्, कहिले उट्पट्याङ गर्ने गर्छन् । यसै कारणले हाम्रो समाजको उन्नति भइरहेको छैन । हाम्रो समाज विभिन्न राम्रा कामका लागि चिनिन्छ तर एउटा नराम्रो कामको कारणले समाजलाई कसैले मन पराउँदैनन् । त्यसै कारणले यदि हामीले कडा नियम र कानुन बनायाैँ भने हाम्रो समाज अगाडि बढ्न सक्छ र सगरमाथा झैँ उच्च नाम कमाउन सक्छ ।  

हामी सबै देशका र समाजका सच्चा नागरिक हौँ भने यस्ता समस्यालाई मिलिजुली सुल्झाउनुपर्छ । यदि यस्तो भयो भने हाम्रो समाज पक्कै अगाडि बढ्न सक्छ र विकास पनि हुन सक्छ । सुरुमा मानिसले आफ्नो भलो मात्र नसोचेर अर्काको बारेमा पनि सोच्नुपर्छ भन्ने कुरा थाहा हुनुपर्छ । यो संसारको कुनै पनि इच्छा  र चाहनालाई एकताले पुरा गर्न सकिन्छ । यदि हामीले एकतावद्ध भएर काम  गर्याैँ भने सामाजिक समस्याको अन्त्य हुने छ र समाजको विकास हुने छ।

Plastic is one of the most common things that is used on a daily basis in our life. Plastic bags are a major cause of environmental pollution. Plastic as a substance is non-biodegradable and thus plastic bags remain in the environment for hundreds of years polluting it immensely. Plastic takes a long time to degrade so it is very harmful to the environment yet we see many of the shopkeepers using plastic bags to give things to the customers and as well as many people using it for various purposes. Plastic sticks around in the environment for ages, threatening wildlife, and spreading toxins. Plastic also contributes to global warming. 

 Studies have found that certain chemicals in the plastic can leach out of the plastic and into the food and beverages we eat. As plastic is less expensive, it is one of the most widely available and overused items in the world today. Rapid urbanization and population growth have increased the demand for cheap plastics. Since it is an affordable and durable material, it is utilized in every other way possible, from packaging materials to plastic bottles and containers, straws to plastic carry bags. And also because they’re so cheap, we don’t value them to hang on to individual items. And when thrown, it does not decompose easily and pollutes the land or air nearby when burned in the open air. The chemical bonds that make-up plastics are strong and made to last. Commercial fishing is an economic necessity for many parts of the world, and tons of people eat fish for their daily survival. However, this industry has helped contribute to the problem of plastics pollution in the oceans in several ways. The nets used for certain large-scale trolling operations are usually made of plastic. Plastic waste is also washed to shores from ships and nets used for fishing. This not only kills and harms local wildlife but also pollutes the water, marine animals get trapped in nets and/or swallow the toxic particles. Burning plastic is incredibly toxic and can lead to harmful atmospheric conditions and deadly illnesses. Therefore, if it is in a landfill, it will never stop releasing toxins in that area. Animals and marine creatures unknowingly consume plastic particles along with their food. Not only this, but plastic also has many negative effects on human life. We eat plastic-contaminated seafood. It causes air pollution, land pollution, and also it destroys the food chains. The production of plastic bags releases toxic chemicals. These are the main causes of serious illness. The polluted environment is a major reason for various diseases which are spreading easily in human beings. Plastic bags are non-biodegradable. Thus, disposing of plastics is the biggest challenge. 

So, will it be beneficial if plastics are banned? Yes, it will be. Plastic bags never degrade completely, which shows that as more of them are produced by companies, more are introduced into the environment. Therefore, the more the amount of plastic bags, the more plastic pollution, and its effects. Banning the use of plastic bags will help reduce this great effect. Plastic also emits some radiation. So, we must try to use plastics as little as we can. We can reduce the use of plastics in many ways. Like by using reusable shopping bags, give up bottled water, use natural rubber gloves, avoid using plastic straws, stop chewing gum, and many more. China banned plastic bags, and four years later, the amount of plastic bags thrown into the environment had reduced by 40 billion.  

Definitely, slowly and surely we will get rid of all the plastics in the future and make the world plastics-free. Before destroying the environment, we must think of future generations as well. We ourselves should be responsible and should stop using plastic bags and replace them with cloth bags. Every little positive change matters for a better future.

कोठाबाहिर गएपछि आएर तिमीलाई सम्झिन्छु,                                                                                           

निद्रा लाग्दा तिम्रो न्यानोपना सम्झिन्छु,

केही कार्य गर्न शान्त वातावरण तिमीनेरै पाउँदछु

ए कोठा ! तिमी कस्तो राम्रो ।

 

झगडा हुँदा तिमीनिर आउँदछु,

हाँस्न मन लाग्दा तिम्रै छेउ आउँदछु,

राती चलचित्र हेर्दा तिमी उद्धारकर्ता बन्दिन्छौ,

केही खान मन लागे तिमी मलाई लुकाउँदछौ,

ए कोठा ! तिमी कस्तो राम्रो ।

 

बाहिर हेर्न मन लाग्दा तिमी राम्रो दृश्य देखाउँछौ,

बाहिर चर्को घाम लाग्दा तिमी पर्दाको भागले मलाई बचाउँछाै,

बिजुली चम्कँदा मलाई सुरक्षित पार्दछौ,

घरको एक भाग भए पनि तिमी नै मलाई धेरै याद आउँछौ,

ए कोठा ! तिमी कस्तो राम्रो ।

 

समय बित्दै जान्छ,

मौसम बदलिँदै जान्छ,

साथी छुट्दै जान्छ,

तिमी मेरो साथ दिई त्यहीँको त्यहीँ हुन्छौ,

ए कोठा ! तिमी कस्तो राम्रो ।

 

बाहिर जाँदा मज्जा लाग्छ,

नयाँ ठाउँको कोठा राम्रै लाग्छ,

तर तिमीमा भएको रमाइलोपना ?

नामः आश्रया बास्‍ँकोटा

The ocean covers more than 70 percent of the surface of the Earth. Within the total, 97 percent of the Earth’s water can be found in the ocean. The ocean plays an important role in the climate of the Earth by helping in the regulation of heat and carbon dioxide levels. Ocean and climate change are interrelated. The Oceans are vulnerable to adverse impacts from the emission of greenhouse gases. Climate change can have huge effects on the ocean like water temperature changes, rise in the ocean water level, increase levels of ocean acidification, etc. 

The ocean plays an important role in sustaining lives in the marine ecosystem.  Harmful human activities affect the condition of the Ocean and disturb the marine ecosystem. One of the harmful effects of human activities is acidification. Due to the large scale of industries around the world, the waste thrown into the ocean has increased. Because of this pH level of the ocean has dropped. This poses a huge threat to the ocean and the marine ecosystem as the ocean ecosystem becomes more polluted. The rise in ocean temperature is also another main concern. The increasing temperature of the ocean caused stratification which hinders important processes such as photosynthesis and also disrupts the marine food chain. Due to this many marine species will be forced to migrate or also lead to their extinction which also affects the lives of the people depending on the ocean for food. Global warming also brings huge changes to the ocean. It increases the sea level of the Earth. Due to global warming, glaciers and icebergs are melting and cause water to flow in the ocean, adding to the amount of seawater. This causes an increase in the salinity of aquifers and estuaries which threaten aquatic animals and plants that cannot tolerate high levels of salinity.

स्वर्गजस्तो देश मेरो नरक नै भएछ,

दया, धर्म, न्याय, निसाफ सबै नै गएछ ।

माया अब कसका लागि कसले गर्ने ?

आखिरीमा सिधासाधा जनता नै मर्ने ।

 

हिजो पनि मर्ने यहाँ जनता नै थियो,

आज पनि मर्ने यहाँ जनता नै भयो ।

गरिबले रुन पनिआँसु पाउँदैन, 

हाँसू भने खान, बस्न, गाँस, वास छैन ।

 

पाप अनि अपराध मात्र चल्यो चारैतिर, 

अन्यायको जन्जिरले बाँधिने छ पिर ।

सोच्न सके सोच अझै बेला बाँकी नै छ, 

कि त भोलि पनि यस्तै टोलाउनु नै छ ?

 

देश तिम्रो खेलौनाको गोटी हुँदै होइन,

जनता हो आँधी बुझ, आँधी थमिँदैन ।

A problem that no one talks about, but has been occurring every second is toxic masculinity. Toxic masculinity is an issue not openly discussed upon, mainly due to it being overshadowed by other problems and being disregarded as a problem. Basically, the term toxic masculinity refers to the harassment of men for not doing things they are “supposed” to do. I’m sure many of you have experienced this yourself. Statements like ‘man-up’ or ‘not a true man’ nowadays are very often used to discourage men who don’t follow the so-called conditions that society has created to become a man. 

Just the thought of it is ridiculous. Since when does crying or showing emotions define gender or showing emotions doesn’t make you a man? How many times have you seen people being made fun of because they like the color pink or playing with dolls? This thing is mentally ingrained in the minds of people as if they have been programmed to think that men can’t do certain things. In this regard, I believe that toxic masculinity is a big problem that needs to be immediately addressed because this has daily been draining on the lives of many men even leading to depression and suicide.

 

नेपालको मानचित्र सानो देखिए पनि नेपालका सांस्कृतिक र प्राकृतिक सौर्न्दर्यहरू धेरै छन् । नेपालको उत्तरतर्फ चीन र पश्चिम, पूर्व, दक्षिणतर्फ भारतले घेरिएको छ ।

नेपालमा संसारभरिको सर्वोच्च हिमाल सगरमाथा छ । साथसाथै अरू हिमाल जस्तै कन्चन्जङ्घा, लोत्से, अन्नपूर्णलगायतका हिमाल पनि यहाँ रहेका छन् । नेपाल देशलाई हिमालय पर्वतकाे देश भनेर पनि चिनिन्छ । यहाँ खनिज पदर्थको पनि खानी रहेको छ । हिमालयबाट बगेको अटुट पानीले ४२००० मेगावाट बिजुली उत्पादन गर्ने क्षमता राख्दछ । तराईदेखि हिमालसम्मको छाेटाे यत्रामा पनि विभिन्न दृश्य, जडिबुटी तथा जनावरहरू देख्न पाइने ठाउँ हाे याे । यहाँका मानिसहरूका आआफ्नै संस्कृति र भाषा रहेका छन् । यहाँ तराईदेखि हिमालसम्म राई, लिम्बू, थारू, नेवार लगायतका विभिन्न संस्कृतिका मनिसको बसोबास छ । यहाँ पशुपतिनाथ, गुह्यश्वरी, स्वयम्भूजस्ता पवित्र धार्मिक स्थलहरू पनि रहेका छन् । यहाँ पाइने असङ्ख्य जडीबुटीले ओखती बनाएर विविध राेगबाट ग्रसित राेगीहरूकाे उपचार पनि गर्न मिल्छ ।

नेपालका यिनै विशेषताले गर्दा पर्यटकहरू नेपाल घुम्न आउँछन् जसले गर्दा देशलाई आर्थिक रूपमा सहयोग हुन्छ । त्यसैले यी सबै कुराहरूकाे संरक्षण गर्नु हरेक नेपालीको कर्तव्य हो ।

Wanting to learn more and more has always been my passion and I hope to have the same enthusiasm till my last breath. God really gave me the hunger to learn more along with the propensity of a master procrastinator. I love doing many things, but starting is the hard part and also being consistent. They say consistency is the key to success. Well, I don't see my success anytime soon if I don't work on improving things. But My habit is to learn new things and explore new things. Plus 2 is hard and for science students along with computer programming as their major, it gets tougher. I even hope I do overcome my laziness and remain consistent in what I have started. A part of me even loves trekking, going on an adventure, and above all listening to the stories of people. Maybe being a 16 year old is tough, my mind always finds something to do. I can't help myself from thinking, exploring, and learning. I really wish my craziness for all these sorts of things never faded out cause these mean happiness to me. As this period is adolescence period my mind goes somewhere else but I try to control it and focus on my studies. I think this period is a very tough period and if we don't control it then we will go in vain. We will damage our future if we do so.
