तिब्बती मास्टिफ
- Srijal Ulak - 21117, Grade XI ... 07 October, 2020

लगभग सबैजसाे ठुला कुकुरहरूको पूर्वज तिब्बती मास्टिफ भनिने जातको हो । यसलाई नेपाललमा भोटे कुकुर भनेर चिनिन्छ । यसको आयु बाह्र-पन्ध्र वर्षको हुन्छ। तिब्बती मास्टिफ जातका कुकुरहरू हेर्दा ठुला मात्र होइनन् उनीहरूमा उनीहरूको परिवारलाई बाहिरी खतराबाट जोगाउने सामर्थ्य र चलाखी छ भन्ने कुरा उनीहरूकाे कामबाट देखिन्छ । जब तिनीहरूलाई पाले कुकुरका रूपमा प्रयोग गरिन्थ्यो, तिनीहरूलाई कामका लागि सम्पूर्ण गाउँको हेरचाहको जिम्मा दिइन्थ्यो । तिब्बती मास्टिफ प्राचीन कालदेखि नै थियो, जब तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरू हिमालयको उच्च पठार र उपत्यकामा घुमन्तेहरूसँग बसेका थिए । यिनीहरूमध्ये केही बलिया कुकुरहरू पश्‍चिमतिर युरोपसम्म ल्याइएका थिए । आँटिला हुनाले उनीहरूका सन्तानबाट मास्टिफ्स बक्सर र सेन्ट बर्नार्डलगायत आधुनिक मोलोसेर नस्लहरू बने । यी कुकुरहरूको लामो स्वरचिम्टी र ठुलो फोक्सो हुन्छ जसले गहिरो ठुलो आवाज निकाल्दछ । 

तिब्बती मास्टिफका मांसपेशीहरू ठुला र बलिया हुन्छन् जसले तिब्बती मास्टिफलाई लड्न र रक्षा गर्न बल दिन्छन् । याे कुकुरको ठुलो र उल्लेखनीय उपस्थितिले विश्वमा चीनको सबैभन्दा धेरै जनसङ्ख्या भएको देशको कल्पनालाई समातेको छ, यो एउटा आश्चर्यजनक नयाँ प्रवृत्ति हो जहाँ कुकुरको स्वामित्व पचास वर्षपहिले वास्तवमा प्रतिबन्धित गरिएको थियो । विगत २० वर्षमा तिब्बती मास्टिफ चिनियाँ कुकुरको कल्पनामा परिर्वतन अग्रणी रहेको छ किनकि चिनियाँ मध्यम वर्ग गरिबीबाट समृद्धिमा बढेको छ, जसरी कुकुरप्रेमीहरूको फौज बढेको छ । तिनीहरू अब उत्तम जातका देखिन तिब्बती मास्टिफ सम्मेलनहरूमा ओइरिएका छन् । आज आधुनिक चीनमा विशाल घर र ठुलो तिब्बती मास्टिफ हुनुलाई धेरै धनी र प्रख्यात हुनाकाे प्रतीकका रूपमा लिइन्छ ।  एक तिब्बती मास्टिफ चीनमा लगभग २ लाख डलरमा बेचिएको थियो । तिब्बती मास्टिफलाई चिसो र सुक्खा मौसम उत्तम हुन्छ । तिनीहरूको क्षेत्रीय प्रकृति मतलब तिनीहरूलाई राख्ने ठाउँलाई ठुलो बारको आवश्यकता पर्दछ । शुद्ध तिब्बती मास्टिफ एकदम दुर्लभ छ । तिनीहरू विशाल र क्रूर हुन्छन् र सिंहजस्ता देखिन्छन्। 


तिब्बती मास्टिफले केही विशेष स्वास्थ्य चिन्ताको अनुभव गर्न सक्दछ, हिप डिस्प्लासिया थाइरोइड समस्या, छालाको अवस्था र सङ्क्रमण यीमध्ये केही मात्र हुन् । एक स्वतन्त्र र अक्सर जिद्दी जातको रूपमा तिब्बती मास्टिफ पक्कै पनि नौजवान कुकुर मालिकको लागि होइन । तिब्बती मास्टिफहरू उनीहरूको परिवारप्रति मायालु र सुरक्षात्मक छन् तर अपरिचितहरूदेखि होसियार छन् । मस्टिफलाई खुसी र स्वस्थ राख्नको लागि तपाईंसँग सुख्खा र चिसाे वातावरण हुनुपर्दछ । यसले लामो समयसम्म बाँच्ने प्रजातिका ठुला कुकुरहरूको सामान्य स्वास्थ्य समस्याहरू अनुभव गर्दछ । यो महत्त्वपूर्ण छ कि तपाईंको तिब्बती मास्टिफले जवान उमेरबाट सामाजिक अनुभव प्राप्त गर्दछ । यदि तपाईंले समय दिन र हेरचाह गर्न सक्नुभयो भने यसले तपाईंप्रति असीमित वफादारी देखाउने छ । तिब्बतबाट सुरु भएका कुकुरहरू भारतमा फेला परेकाभन्दा दुई गुणा ठुला छन् । तिनीहरू अत्यन्त शक्तिशाली छन् र विश्वास गरिन्छ कि तिनीहरू बाघ मार्न पनि सक्षम छन् ।

Worldwide Impact Of Lockdown On Employability
- Sophi Shrestha - 21126, Grade ... 06 October, 2020

This year 2020 has been one of the most memorable years in history, but more for negative events. The year started with Australia declaring the state of disaster in January owing to the Australian bushfire across the east coast of Australia killing more than 3 billion animals and destroying the natural habitat of more. In February, the world faced the destruction caused by swarms of deadly desert locusts. Amid all these natural disasters, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. 

The COVID-19, previously known as the novel coronavirus, started in Wuhan, China in December 2019, and in January 2020, the WHO declared global health emergency due to the rapid spreading of the virus worldwide. Later in February 2020, the novel coronavirus was renamed “COVID-19” by the WHO where “CO” refers to “Corona”, “VI” refers to “Virus”, and “D” refers to “Disease”. And the event was announced as a global pandemic in March 2020, as mentioned earlier. As of the first week of October 2020, the total number of COVID-19 cases around the world is 34.86 million, with 7.92 million active cases, 25.91 million recovered cases and 1.03 million deaths. Owing to the pandemic, the majority of the countries in the world started lockdown to minimize the spreading of the virus, which had a huge impact on the world economy ultimately affecting the employment of the people throughout the world resulting in a high rate of job cuts worldwide.

 

The main sector affected by the job cut was especially the private sector. Because of COVID-19 nearly half of the world's workforce is a huge risk of losing their livelihoods. Due to this economic crisis created by the pandemic world’s workforce of 3.3 billion and almost 1.6 billion informal economy workers are suffering massive damage to their capacity of earning for their livelihood. Without any alternative income sources, the workers and their families have no means to survive. Millions of businesses around the world are barely surviving. Many people are facing difficulties in this pandemic not only because of the virus but also from job cuts, no food, expenses, and shelter. Especially in developing countries, people are facing many problems.

के म साधारण छु ?
- Benit Shrestha - 21105, Grade ... 06 October, 2020

कलिलो उमेरमै धेरै कुराहरू बुझेको छु, भोगेको छु भन्ने विचारधारामा म सहमत हुन सक्दिनँ । सबैजस्तै मैले पनि समयसँग खेल खेलेको छु र समयको साथसाथै म पनि परिवर्तन हुन पुगेको छु । सानो बेलाको त्यो निर्दोष अनुहार याद गर्दा मस्तिष्कले सोच्छ कि त्यो निर्दोषता कता हरायाे ? त्यो बेला साथीभाइसँग खेलकुद गर्दा उत्पत्ति हुने जाँगर र रहर कसले पो चोरी लगेछ भन्ने प्रश्न आफूलाई गर्छु तर जति गम्भीरताका साथ यी कुराहरू सोचे पनि आजभोलि न खेलकुद गर्ने जाँगर चल्छ, न त्याे निर्दोष अनुहारको खोजी गर्ने ख्याल आउँछ । आफू बदलिएको देखेर आफैँ अचम्मित हुन्छु अनि हरेक दिन यो परिवर्तन समाजले स्वीकार गर्ला कि नगर्ला भन्ने दोबाटोमा पुग्छु ।

अहिले के कुरामा ध्यान दिने र पछि भविष्यमा के गर्ने जस्ता महत्त्वपूर्ण कुराहरू आफूलाई नै स्पष्ट नभएपछि आफ्नो अवस्था देखेर दया लाग्दैन त ? अनि यही कुरा अरूले प्रश्न गर्दा कहिले नबन्ने डाक्टर र इन्जिनियर भन्नुबाहेक अरू के उत्तर नै  बाँकी रहन्छ र ? पहिलेजस्ताे एउटै कुरामा ध्यान दिन सक्ने क्षमता कमजाेर हुँदै गएकाले नेपालमा पाइने दुर्लभ प्राणीहरूजस्तै एक दिन याे क्षमता पनि विलुप्त हुने सम्भावना देख्दछु ।आफूमा अहिले यस्ता कमीहरू देखा परेपछि मैले आफ्नो प्रगतिको लागि गरेका सबै प्रयासहरू आधाअधुरा लाग्न थाल्छन् तर मेरा यी कमी र कमजोरीहरूले मलाई साधारण व्यक्ति हुने दृष्टिकोणबाट बाहिर धकेलेका छन् त ? मेरा कमजाेरीहरू धेरै प्रतिकूल भए भन्दैमा म स्वत: असामाजिक व्यक्ति बन्न पुग्दिनँ र यी कमजोरीहरूभन्दा विपरीत काम गरेमा अरूले मलाई साधारण व्यक्ति भन्लान् त ? जति गहिरो गरी विचार गर्दा पनि के कुराले चाहिँ मलाई साधारण तुल्याउँछ भन्ने उत्तर फेला भएको छैन । तर सबैजना आफ्नै जिन्दगीमा व्यस्त हुन्छन्, त्यसैले म साधारण हुनु नहुनुकाे मुख्य अर्थ नै रहेन । समाजले वास्ता गरे पनि, नगरे पनि ‘के म साधारण छु ?’ भन्ने अस्तित्वगत प्रश्नको म जवाफ खोज्दै हुने छु ।

My Aquarian Friend
- Karma Gurung - 21109, Grade X ... 05 October, 2020

My friend is an Aquarian and he is quite a gem. Although he will irritate you, not once but over and over again, he will always have your back. He is very friendly but always has a pessimistic aura around him. He will notice every single word and action you do so be aware of your action. My friend doesn’t give a single thought to another person’s feelings. He won’t care about your emotions or your expectations, it’s not that he wants to hurt you but he simply doesn’t care about your small feelings. He will not show any emotions no matter what, he won’t beg you to stay no matter how much he really cares about you. He always chooses quality over quantity likewise with friends too. He is content with having a few friends rather than a whole bunch of idiots. He always does what he says which makes him very dangerous cause sometimes even I don’t know if he is joking or he is telling the truth. Having an Aquarian friend is both a blessing in disguise and a pain. He will believe in you if you believe in him. 

He has an unbelievably high standard for things and you won’t be able to lower it, not even a tiny bit. He may be friendly to you but he doesn’t mix friendliness and friends together. Just because he is friendly to you, doesn’t mean you guys are friends. He doesn’t like to repeat himself so you should listen carefully for the first time. And the most shocking trait of my friend is that he looks very innocent but is a very troublesome guy. 

He will not talk to you but only reply to you once you have gained his trust. He values trust over everything, but the hardest part is to gain his trust cause he will genuinely look out for that person who has earned his trust. By being a friend of an aquarian, I have gained a lot of skills like having zero expectations from people and tolerating a lot of nuisance. Being around my friend, he makes me feel like I am the most positive person because this guy is just too negative. I believe in my Aquarian friend as well as believe in our friendship to be a lifelong friendship.

स्वच्छ वातावरण
- Shreejal Khatri - 2022024, Gr ... 05 October, 2020

स्वच्छ वातावरण मानिसलाई नभई नहुने कुरा हो । यदि वातावरण स्वच्छ छ भने हाम्रो वरिपरिका कुराहरू सफा र स्वच्छ रहन्छन् । स्वच्छ वातावरण भनेको आफ्नो वरिपरिको वातावरण सफा र स्वच्छ हुनु हो । स्वच्छ वातावरण हुनु मानिस र जन्तु दुवैलाई एकदमै जरुरी छ ।

वातावरणले मानिसको जीवन कस्तो छ भन्ने बुझाउँछ । यदि एउटा मानिस  स्वच्छ र सफा वातावरणमा बस्छ भने उसलाई रोग लाग्ने सम्भावना धेरै नै कम हुन्छ र उसको स्वास्थ्य पनि राम्रो हुन्छ तर यदि एउटा मानिस फोहोर वातावरणमा बस्छ भने उसलाई रोग लाग्ने सम्भावना धेरै हुन्छ । स्वच्छ वातावरणले मानिसलाई स्वच्छ हावा र पानी दिने मात्र हैन यसले मानिसको जीवनकाल पनि बढाउँदछ । जो मानिस स्वच्छ वातावरणमा हुर्कन्छ, उसको बुद्धि पनि स्वच्छ र सफा हुन्छ ।

 यदि स्वच्छ वातावरण बनाउन मन छ भने मानिसले फोहोरमैलाहरूलाई सही ठाउँमा राख्नुपर्छ । हामीले स्वच्छ वातावरण बनाएजस्तै त्यसलाई कायम पनि राख्न सक्नुपर्छ । स्वच्छ वातावरण राख्नका लागि समाजका सबै मानिसहरूले आफ्नो वातावरण सफा राख्नु जरुरी छ । तर सुरुचाहिँ आफैँबाट गर्नुपर्छ । यदि आफूले आफ्नो वातावरण सफा गर्न सुरु गर्यो भने यसले गर्दा अरूले पनि आफ्नो वातावरण सफा राख्नु पर्ने हौसला पाउँछन् । वातावरण स्वच्छ राख्नका लागि पनि कडाभन्दा कडा नियमहरू बनाउनुपर्छ र नियम पालना नगर्ने जनताहरूलाई केही सजाय दिनु आवश्यक छ । मानिसहरूलाई स्वच्छ वातावरणको महत्त्वका कुराहरू बुझाउन पनि वातावरण स्वच्छ राख्नु आवश्यक छ । जब मानिसलाई स्वच्छ वातावरणको महत्त्व थाहा हुन्छ, तब वातावरण आफैँ स्वच्छ हुनेछ । जनताले मात्र हैन सरकारले पनि स्वच्छ वातावरणका लागि कार्यहरू गर्नुपर्दछ । सरकारले स्वच्छ वातावरण कसरी राख्ने भन्ने योजना बनाउनुपर्छ र त्यो योजनालाई कार्यान्वयन गराउनुपर्छ । 

त्यसैले हामीले हाम्रो वातावरण स्वच्छ बनाउन जरुरी छ । यदि स्वच्छ वातावरण भयो भने हाम्रो देश पनि अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय स्तरमा स्वच्छ एवम् सफा राष्ट्र भनेर चिनिने छ । स्वच्छ वातावरण बनाउनका लागि समाजका सबै मानिसहरू एकजुट भई काम गर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ । स्वच्छ वातावरणले हामी बस्ने ठाउँलाई सफा बनाउँदछ । कुनै पनि देशको प्रशंसा हुन सरसफाइ नै पहिलो आधार मानिन्छ ।

Normalizing Menstruation In The World
- Niharika Shrestha - 2022022, ... 04 October, 2020

Menstrual blood is the only source of blood that is not traumatically induced. Yet in modern society, this is the most hidden blood, the one so rarely spoken of and almost never seen, except privately by women.                                                  

                                                                            -Judy Grahn

What is menstruation? Menstruation is normal vaginal bleeding that occurs as part of a woman’s monthly cycle. At some point during puberty, blood comes out of your vagina, and that’s your first period. Most people get their first period between the ages of 12 and 14, but some people get them earlier or later than that. Menstruation occurs in cycles. The ovaries prepare an egg for release and the womb prepares a lining to nourish the egg if it is fertilized. When the egg is not fertilized, the lining of the womb is shed and a woman gets her period. The typical length of time between the first days of the next is 21 to 45 days in young women, and 21 to 31 days in adults (an average of 28 days). Bleeding usually lasts around 2 to 7 days. Menstruation stops occurring after menopause, which usually occurs between 45 and 55 years of age. Periods also stop during pregnancy and typically do not resume during the initial months of breastfeeding. 

Why is it stigmatized all around the world? Menstruation is a natural process, but it is still highly stigmatized in many countries. A lack of information about menstruation leads to these misconceptions and discrimination and compels girls to miss out on their normal childhood experiences and activities. It is a topic that people are usually uncomfortable talking about and is typically a topic that is only discussed behind closed doors. This is because cultures all over the world have developed detrimental concepts and beliefs about menstruation. It’s clear the way we talk about menstruation, the concept of it is slow to change because menstrual taboos are ingrained in our cultures, beliefs, and histories deep down. Because of the taboos surrounding menstruation in many parts of the world, there is a significant lack of health education resources available to people about the menstrual cycles. It is this lack of knowledge that fuels myths that ostracize and humiliate women during their monthly cycles. Therefore, the stigma of menstruation is perpetrated by cultural taboos, discrimination, and lack of education, silence, and period poverty.

How are women treated during their menstruation? From ceremonies, parties to menstruation huts, women are treated very differently around the world. Women are considered impure and, thus restricted from entering the kitchen, temple, touching the Holy basil, pickles, etc. In many cultures, menstruating women are not allowed to bathe or wash her during the first three days of her period. Talking about our country Nepal, Chhaupadi is such malpractice that still exists in Nepal that violated women’s and girls’ sexual and reproductive health rights. Not only in Nepal, many women in Venezuela, are also forced to sleep in huts during menstruation. In rural Ghana, menstruating women are forbidden from entering a house with a man or cooking food.  In addition, in Kenya, studies have shown that girls will miss an average of four days of school each month adding up to about 20% of the school year.

Let’s Normalize Menstruation: Women face discrimination, harassment, and are looked down upon because of menstruation, as it is seen as a form of weakness rather than a necessary biological function.  Adolescent girls need the support of their governments to provide adequate infrastructures, access to affordable sanitary products, and gender equity for them to manage their periods. But to establish sustainable social change, education is key. All girls and boys must be educated about menstruation and reproductive health to empower them to talk comfortably and candidly about periods and sexual health. This can be done by educating, promoting women empowerment, providing expanded resources, and encouraging candid conversations surrounding women’s health, menstruation may one day no longer be a taboo but will be celebrated for the natural experience that it is.

नेपाली संस्कृति र त्यसमा भएको विकृति
- Ashraya Banskota - 21104, Gra ... 04 October, 2020

नेपाल एउटा सुन्दरताले भरिपूर्ण देश हो । यो देश अनेक जातजाति, भाषा, संस्कृति र भूगोलको मिलनले बनेको छ । यति भन्दा भन्दै पनि यहाँ मानिसबिच कुनै भेदभाव हुँदैन । यो देश करि ३ करोड नेपालीको वासस्थान हो र यहाँ सबैजना मिलेर बस्छन्, त्यसैले यहाँ अनेकतामा एकता छ भनेर भनिन्छ । संस्कृतिको कुरा गर्दा यो देश धर्ममा भन्दा पनि संस्कृतिमा धेरै धनी छ । नेपालमा धेरैजसो हिन्दु र बाैद्धमार्गीहरू छन् । यहाँ इसाई तथा इस्लाम धर्मका मानिसहरूको पनि बसोबास छ । शान्तिको प्रतीक मानिने बुद्ध पनि यही नेपालमै जन्मेका हुन् । हरेक साल बुद्धको जन्मदिनमा करोडौँ मानिस विश्वका अलग अलग ठाउँहरूबाट नेपाल प्रवेश गरिरहेका हुन्छन् । हिन्दुहरूको एउटा महान् चाड भनेको शिवरात्रि पनि हो । याे दिन शिवजीका भक्तहरू पशुपतिनाथस्थलमा आई शिवजीको पूजा गर्छन् । नेपालमा मनाइने चाडहरूमध्ये सबैभन्दा ठुलाे चाड दसैं हो । दसैँमा ठुला मानिसहरूले सानालाई टीका लगाई राम्रो भविष्यको कामना गर्दछन् । यस्ता अरू कयौँ चाडपर्व हामी नेपालीहरू मिलेर मनाउँदछौँ ।

 यस देशमा सबै धर्मका मानिसहरू मिलेर बस्दछन्। ‘गाँस छाेड्नु, साथ नछोड्नु’ भन्ने उखानजस्तै आपतको बेला सबैले सबैलाई मद्दत गर्छन् । यसले नेपाली जातिको सहयोगी भावनाको उदाहरण दिन्छ । सुखमा मात्र साथ नदिई नेपालीहरू दुःखको बेला पनि साथ छोड्दैनन् । यही आपसी सहयोगले नेपाली संस्कृतिकाे विशेषता झनै झल्काउँछ । नेपाली संस्कृतिले समाजसेवालाई पनि उत्तिकै महत्त्व दिन्छ । घरमा आउने अतिथिलाई सेवासत्कार गरेर मात्र घर पठाउने हाम्रो नेपाली जातिको चलन रहेको छ । यति मात्र नभई मठमन्दिरमा जाँदा पनि हामी नेपालीहरू गरिबलाई अन्न दिई उनीहरूलाई मद्दत गर्दछौँ । त्यही परोपकारी भाव नेपाली संस्कृतिले सबै नेपालीमा जगाउँछ ।

नेपाली संस्कृतिमा राम्रा पक्षहरू मात्र नभई विकृत पक्षहरू पनि छन् । भगवान्‌लाई प्रसन्न बनाउन कति नेपालीहरू जनावरहरूकाे प्राण लिन्छन् तर भगवान् मारकाटबाट खुसी हुँदैनन् । आपत्‌काे बेला अरूहरूलाई सहयोग गर्ने, कसैप्रति घृणाको भावना नराख्ने, सबैलाई माया गर्ने जस्ता कुराहरू गर्न थाल्यौँ भने भगवान् मात्र हैन सबैजना खुसी हुन्छन् । एउटा मान्छेले यस्ताे कार्य सुरु गर्याे भने अरूले पनि त्यही मार्ग अनुसरण गर्न थाल्छन् र यही सानो पाइलाले समाजमा भएको विकृति हटाउने कार्यकाे थालनी गर्न सक्छ । बिहेपछि स्वास्नीमान्छेहरूले लोग्नेमान्छेको खुट्टा ढोग्ने प्रथा पहिलेदेखि नै नेपाली संस्कृतिमा चलिरहेको छ । मेरो विचारमा यो पनि नेपाली  संस्कृतिको विकृत पक्ष हो । जहिले स्वास्नीमान्छेले मात्र खुट्टा ढोग्नु मेरो हिसाबमा सही होइन । विवाह भनेको एउटा पवित्र बन्धन हो र यस बन्धनमा बाँधिइसकेपछि दुवैजनाले एकअर्कालाई सम्मान गर्नुपर्छ र यदि स्वास्नीमान्छेले खुट्टा ढोग्नुपर्छ भने लोग्नेमान्छेले पनि आफ्नी स्वास्नीको खुट्टा ढोग्नुपर्छ ।

हामीले जति पनि लैङ्गिक समानताको लागि आबाज उठाए पनि ससाना प्रथाले गर्दा नेपाली संस्कृतिमा भएकाे लैङ्गिक विभेद हटाउन सकिएकाे छैन । यो भेदभाव महिलामा मात्र होइन, पुरुषमा पनि देख्न पाइन्छ, जस्तैः दसैँको दक्षिणा दिँदा छोरी मानिसहरूलाई दक्षिणा दिइन्छ भने छोराहरूलाई  दिइँदैन । गरिब र असहायलाई हेप्ने, नाेकर बनाउनेजस्ता सोचबाट नेपाली संस्कृति र नेपाली समाज कुप्रथाबाट मुक्त हुन सकेको छैन । हामीले नेपाली संस्कृतिको सकारात्मक पक्ष बिर्सिन पुगेका छौँ । यही चल्दै गयो भने नेपाली समाजले नेपाली संस्कृतिको महत्त्व बिर्सिन सक्छौँ र नेपाली त्यसैले हामी नेपालीहरूले नेपाली संस्कृतिका विशेषताहरूलाई अगाडि बढाई नेपाली संस्कृतिमा भएका विकृतिहरू हटाउने कोसिस गर्नुपर्छ र यही कोसिसले एक दिन हामी नेपालीहरू अवश्य नै सफल हुनेछौँ ।

Cancel Culture And Its Toxicity
- Manit Bhattarai - 21112, Grad ... 01 October, 2020

If you’ve been living on the internet for a while, I’m sure you’ve heard about artists, influencers, shows /show hosts, brands, entertainers, or some sort of celebrity, in general, getting “canceled”. For those unaware, cancel culture is a phenomenon of withdrawing support from companies or celebrities after they’ve done something considered offensive or questionable usually leading them to the end of their career. Cancel culture began around 2014/15 but has been really popping off for the past couple of years.

Twitter is basically a place where things get political and out of hand. When you voice your opinion on twitter, depending on whether the majority of people agree with you or are against you, your tweet will either blow up and get a lot of support from others or get so much hate you would want to shut down your account forever. This is also the place where cancel culture spreads and truly gets out of hand. I won’t deny that there have been some good events due to this culture. For example, #OscarsSoWhite trend, which brought up the topic that Oscar wasn’t diverse enough, and the majority of awards only went to straight white people. This trend expanded as a call for greater inclusion of marginalized groups in all aspects of filmmaking. Twitter also helped elevate the complaints about sexual assault, sexism, and unfair treatment of women during the #MeToo movement.

All that being said, the strength of canceled culture can ravage lives and ruin careers. There have been cases when people see hashtags going around saying cancel this person or cancel that show and just join in on them without thinking for themselves because twitter or the internet, in general, has created such a sheep-like mindset that people can’t even voice their own opinions anymore. Due to which people just join in on the popular trend whether it’s right or wrong. Another thing I don’t like about this trend is when people dig up someone’s post from 10 years ago when they did something wrong and use that to cancel the person. Shane Dawson, a YouTuber who recently got canceled for this very reason. Shane has made some super edgy content in his past like joking about pedophilia, zoophilia, and somewhat racist content in the past. Though it was kind of obvious he was playing an offensive character that gained people’s attention and he wanted to keep growing in popularity by riding that wave, people got very angry recently and canceled Shane. Though I can see why people are angry and they have the total right to be so, why bring it up now? If they were talking about this back when it

actually happened, I am sure no one would have had any problem with it. Shane has grown a lot as a person and he had recently started making documentary-type videos which amassed a ton of views and likes, which means people really enjoyed it. So, I don’t understand why people are trying so hard to end his career instead of making him take accountability for his past actions and try to look at him from a new and improved perspective. Another case, with a recent movie on Netflix ‘cuties’, which by the way they advertised it, seemed like it was aimed towards pedophiles, which is absolutely disgusting and Netflix didn’t even take accountability for their actions. So, I can definitely see why people are mad but going as far as to cancel Netflix completely? It just doesn’t seem right to me. The man at the top of Netflix should be held accountable for the company’s misconduct but canceling the entire platform is just a toxic behavior. People are not thinking how many people have jobs at Netflix and canceling the entire company means a huge amount of people going unemployed. But it seems people are too blind to see that. Also not to mention all the other great shows on the platform getting canceled as well.

All that said, is canceling culture toxic? Definitely. But can we make proper use of it if done well? Definitely as well. People need to be more open-minded about certain things and try to think things through with a proper mindset which will benefit the community and decrease the amount of toxicity on the internet.

हिमाल यात्रा गर्दाको काल्पनिक अनुभव
- Aashutosh Pudasaini - 2022002 ... 01 October, 2020

हिमाल चढ्दाको यादले झसङ्ग भएँ । आफू उभिएको अगाडि पश्चिमपट्टि आँखा पुग्यो, एकजना हिमाल आरोहीले जीवन गुमाएका रहेछन् । केही बेरअघिको खुसी एकाएक दुःखमा परिणत भयो । केही बेरअघि २ नेपाली र १ विदेशी गरी ३ जना शिखरमा पुगेर फर्केका थिए । चुचुरोमा पुगेपछि फर्कनेहरूको अनुहार स्वर्गमा गएर आएको जस्तो धपक्कै बलेको देखियो । हिमालैभरि जताततै विभिन्न किसिमका फोहोरहरू समेत देखिए । हिमाल भनेको हिउँकै घर रहेछ । हिउँ खानु, हिउँमै लड्नु, हिउँकै नदी, हिउँकै पहिरो, जताततै हिउँको संसारमा आफूलाई पाउँदा हिममानवको अनुभूति भयो । 

हिमाल चढ्ने कार्य कठिन कार्य हो । ठाडो हिउँको उकालोमा ‘एक्स’ खोपेर डोरीमा झुन्ड्याउदैँ अघि अघि चढ्दै गरेको आरोहीले पछाडि हेर्न सतर्क हुनुपर्ने रहेछ । कुनै साथी खस्यो भने त्यसलाई छोडेर हिँड्न बाध्य हुनुपर्छ । त्यसैले हिमाल आरोहण साहसिक कार्य हो । अनि आफ्नो जीवन डोरीको भरमा, हातको भरमा  मात्र  हो । अर्कालाई बचाउँदा आफू होसियार हुनुपर्ने, हिमालमा लगाउनु पर्ने पोसाकबारे ज्ञान, हिमालका गल्छी, खोँच, पहिरो आदिको ज्ञान हुनुपर्ने हुन्छ । हिमाल चढ्नु भन्न सजिलो तर गर्न गारो काम रहेछ । हिमाल चढ्न, सैपाल हिमाल चढ्दा त यस्तो रहेछ भने सगरमाथा कस्तो होला । जीवन कति कठ्याङ्ग्रिँदो रहेछ । किताबमा पढेको अक्सिजनको महत्त्व  बुझियो र जीवन के रहेछ भन्ने थाहा भयो ।  

जीवन नटुङ्गिने यात्रा रहेछ तर हिउँसँग खेल्दा र त्यहाँको दृश्य हेर्दाको अनुभव नै बेग्लै थियो । सोचेजस्तो नहुन पनि सक्छ जीवन । जीवनयात्रा कतिको अधुरो हुँदो रहेछ प्रकृतिको क्रुरतामा, मैले धेरै मित्रहरूलाई यसैगरी गुमाएको छु, त्यसैले हिमाल यात्रा मेरा लागि एउटा कठिन तर  गर्नै पर्ने यात्रा लाग्न थालेको छ ।

Value Of Games And Sports
- Princy Jaiswal - 21116, Grade ... 30 September, 2020

Nobody can deny that games are a part of life. Life itself is a game and this world is a big playground. We have to play the game of life with all our energy and courage. To play the game of life well, we have to learn to be good players. There are different kinds of games and sports; there are indoor games like cards, chess, ludo, etc. and outdoor games like Hockey, Football, Volleyball, Cricket, Tennis, etc. are the more common ones. Games and sports are necessary and useful for all. They are especially useful for the students who must have a balanced development of the body as well as the mind. Games and sports contribute to the all-round development of personality and develop such qualities as help in the formation of a noble character. Games play an important part in life. Education is incomplete without games. Games are necessary to keep the body fit and trim. We feel happier in the playground than we do in a classroom. While playing in the playground we feel happier because we forget the homework and the scolding of the teachers.

Games teach us the lesson of discipline, teamwork, patience, and punctuality in the playground; the players obey the captain and follow the rules of the games. Games also teach us that we should play a game for the game’s sake, not for victory or defeat. If a person is physically fit, he is also mentally fit and healthy. There is always a sound mind in a sound body. A healthy person is always hopeful and cheerful. On the other hand, an unhealthy person leads a painful and miserable life. Life becomes a burden for them. Games and sports also produce a sense of equality, co-operation, and friendship. All those qualities, which we get from the playground, help us to face the struggle of life.

Today, games and sports have assumed great importance. Sportsmen and players have started choosing sports and games as their career. It is a compulsory subject in schools in most of the states in the country. INGO’s are giving special grants to their best sportsmen and players. Newspapers and periodicals carry special sections for sports news from all corners of the world. Matches played at the national or international level are relayed over the radio network. Sportsmen are certainly the backbone of any nation. They certainly deserve a place of pride and honor in any country.

- Niharika Shrestha - 2022022, ... 30 September, 2020

सामाजिक सञ्जाल भनेको के हो ? सामाजिक सञ्जाल कम्प्युटरमा आधारित प्रविधि हो जसले भर्चुअल नेटवर्कहरू र समुदायको निर्माणमार्फत् विचारहरू र जानकारीको साझेदारीलाई सहज गर्दछ । प्रयोगकर्ताहरू वेबमा आधारित सफ्टवेयर वा वेब अनुप्रयोगमार्फत् कम्प्युटर ट्याब्लेट वा स्मार्टफोनमार्फत् सामाजिक सञ्जालमा व्यस्त रहन्छन् । अक्सर यसलाई सूचना र सन्देशका लागि प्रयोग गरिन्छ । १० कराेडभन्दा बढी दर्ता गरिएका प्रयोगकर्ताहरूको साथ सबैभन्दा लोकप्रिय सामाजिक सञ्जाल वेबसाइटहरूमा फेसबुक, टिकटक, इन्स्टाग्राम, ट्विटर,टम्बलर, लिंक्डइन र बैदु टिएबा समावेश छन् । अन्य लोकप्रिय प्लेटफार्महरू जुन कहिलेकाहीँ सामाजिक सञ्जाल सेवाहरू भनेर चिनिन्छन्ः टेलिग्राम, सिकोर्ड, युट्युब आदि हुन् ।

 जब हामी सामाजिक मिडियाकाे सकारात्मक पक्ष हेर्छौं, हामी असङ्ख्य लाभहरू फेला पार्दछौँ । सबभन्दा महत्त्वपूर्ण कुरा यो शिक्षाका लागि एक महान् उपकरण हो । सबैलाई आवश्यक जानकारी एक क्लिक टाढा मात्र छ । विद्यार्थीहरूले सामाजिक सञ्जाल प्रयोग गरेर आफूलाई आवश्यक विभिन्न विषयमा शिक्षा लिन सक्छन् । यसका अतिरिक्त लाइभ लेक्चर अब सामाजिक सञ्जालको कारण सम्भव छ । तपाईं नेपालमा बसेर अमेरिकामा भइरहेको व्याख्यानमा भाग लिन सक्नुहुन्छ । यस महामारीमा विद्यार्थीहरू हरबखत भर्चुअल क्लासहरू लिन सक्षम छन् । सामाजिक सञ्जाल प्लेटफार्महरू चिन्ता र लामो समयसम्मको दुख कम गर्न साथीहरू र परिवारसँग सञ्चार कायम गर्न आम जनताका लागि सहयोगी भएको छ, त्यसैले याे मनौवैज्ञानिक समस्या कम गर्नका लागि महत्त्वपूर्ण साधन बन्न पुगेकाे छ । सबैभन्दा महत्त्वपूर्ण कुरा यसले युवा उदियमान कलाकारहरूका लागि नि: शुल्क आफ्नो प्रतिभा प्रदर्शन गर्न एक उत्तम प्लेटफार्म प्रदान गर्दछ । तपाईं सामाजिक सञ्जालमार्फत् पनि रोजगारीका लागि ठुला अवसरहरू प्राप्त गर्न सक्नु हुने छ । यस्ता अनौठा फाइदाहरू भए पनि, सामाजिक सञ्जाल समाजको सबैभन्दा हानिकारक तत्त्वहरूमध्ये एक मानिन्छ । यदि सामाजिक सञ्जालको प्रयोगको अनुगमन गरिएको छैन भने यसले गम्भीर परिणाम निम्त्याउन सक्छ । सामाजिक सञ्जालमा भइरहेको ओभरसेरीले बच्चाहरूलाई सिकारीहरू र ह्याकरहरूको निसाना बनाउँछ । यसले साइबर गुमाउने कार्यमा पनि पुर्याउँछ जसले कुनै पनि व्यक्तिलाई गम्भीर रूपमा असर गर्दछ । यसैले सामाजिक सञ्जालमा साझेदारी, विशेष गरी बच्चाहरूलाई सबै समयमा निगरानी गर्नुपर्छ । सामाजिक सञ्जालकाे लत धेरै हानिकारिक छ । यदि एक व्यक्ति सामाजिक सञ्जालको दुर्व्यसनमा पर्दछ भने ऊ घन्टाैँसम्म कुनै वास्तविक जीवन अन्तर्क्रियाबिना बस्न सक्छ जुन उसको आँरवाका लागि मात्र हानिकारक नभई उसको मानसिक स्वास्थ्यका लागि पनि हानिकारक हुनेछ । सामाजिक सञ्जालकाे उदयले युवा तथा पुरानो पुस्तालाई अझ असामाजिक बनाएको छ र यसरी सबैका बिच वास्तविक जीवनमा सञ्चार घटाएको छ । जति व्यक्तिहरू आफैँलाई सामाजिक सञ्जालमा लिप्त गर्दछन्, उनीहरूलाई उति बढी यसकाे लत लाग्छ र उनीहरू आफ्ना परिवार र साथीहरूबाट भाैतिक रूपमा टाढिन खाेज्छन् ।
