पखेटा भए त उड्छु झैं लाग्थ्यो…
- Nitesh Singh Bista - 25013, G ... 12 September, 2023

लाग्थ्यो चरा भए त म खुशीले नचिरहन्थे
तर उडेका चराको नृत्य कसले हेर्ला र ?
लाग्थ्यो, स्वतन्त्र म उडिरहन्थेँ
तर कुन मुलीले हेर्दै छ भनी म तर्सिरहन
लाग्थ्यो हावासँग ताल मिलाउँदै 
म गीत गाउँथेँ
तर विशाल आकाशमा म त 
अजीव कण मात्र रहेछु 
लाग्थ्यो 
चारो खोज्नै मात्र दिन नपुग्दो रहेछ


अनायासै म त सिकारीको जाल रहेछु...


रहेछु एक भोको पेटको चारो
जीवन मेरै हो जस्तो लाग्थ्यो 
रहेछु पिँजडाको एक मात्र साथी
जीवन स्वतन्त्र हो ठान्थेँ
रहेछु वृद्ध विधवाको गायक
जीवन नै सङ्गीत लाग्थ्यो
रहेछु बिरह बोल्ने न्याउली
जीवन कथित गर्न मात्र चाहन्थे ।

सानी
- Bipana Shrestha - 24017, Grad ... 11 September, 2023

आमाको कोखमा जन्मिएकी सानी 
ओठमा न्यानो मुस्कान बोकेकी उनी 
संसार चिन्नु अघि नै जिम्मेवारीको चपेटामा परि 



हास्ने खेल्ने उमेरमा पन्चे बाजा बजाएर बिदा लिन बाध्य ऊ 
कसैको लागि छोरी त कसैको लागि बुहारी 
कसैको लागि आमा त कसैको लागि सारा संसार बन्न पुगी

 

लक्ष्मी समान छोरीलाई पराइको दर्जा दिने यो समाजमा 
मनभरि प्रश्न अनि आखाभरि आशुँ बोकी
मूल्य र अभिमान बिच ताैलिन पुगी सानी

 

सानीका पनि केही रहर थिए होला सायद 
आफ्नो खुट्टामा उभिने , 
आकाशमा खुल्ला उड्ने 
तर 
भाग्य र  समयलाइ दोष दिन पुगी सानी

 

हजाराैँको भिडमा एक्लै रमाउने सानी
आज खै किन शुन्यताको पछि लाग्दै छे 
ठुलो मान्छे बन्ने सपनाबाट हार खाँदै छे

 

यी मुर्खहरुको चपेटामा बाधिएकी सानी
आफूलाई नै कतै गुमाउँदै छे 
गुनासो त कति थिए 
तर जिम्मेवारीले ढाकिन पुगी सानी

 

विगत समयलाई बिर्सिदै अगाडि बढ्न खोज्दै छे सानी 
हरेक पाइला निस्वार्थ चाल्दै छे सानी 
शुन्यतामा आफैसँग रमउँदै अगाडि बढ्न खोज्दै छे सानी ।

Navigating the Currents of Brain Drain in Nepal
- Subir Acharya - 24072, Grade ... 08 September, 2023

Over 3000 Nepalis leave their country every day in a heartbreaking decision to pursue educational and professional opportunities that many believe are beyond their reach in their homeland. These individuals travel abroad in quest of these opportunities. This sizable exodus of human potential, sometimes known as the "brain drain," has become intricately woven into Nepal's socioeconomic structure and permanently altered its course. Discussions concerning this phenomenon have been more prominent as it gathers speed, raising questions about the consequences it may have for Nepal's present situation as well as its potential future.


The phrase "brain drain" serves as a succinct way to describe the complex process of gifted people choosing to leave their native country because of the temptation of better opportunities abroad. Because they want to pursue greater education and successful jobs, young people in Nepal in particular are increasingly preferring to look into chances overseas. It becomes harder to avoid a deeper investigation of the root factors driving this migration pattern and the significant effects it has across a broad range of fields as this trend intensifies.

 

The brain drain problem in Nepal is a tapestry made of several contributing factors. A climate that is less favorable for developing and maintaining talent has been made worse by elements including bad governance, persistent political instability, and inadequate infrastructure. Rapid changes in political power have bred an atmosphere of persistent uncertainty, undermining faith in the ability of the country to create opportunities and advance. Additionally, the pull of foreign educational systems and the assurance of greater professional chances overseas sometimes portray leaving Nepal as the only realistic route to success.

 

It's interesting how brain drain may feed a vicious cycle. Despondency might start to pervade the cultural psyche as more people decide to seek chances elsewhere. Those who remain may find themselves pulled more and more to pursuing fulfillment and riches elsewhere as the impression of limited opportunities takes hold. The problems caused by brain drain are made worse by this self-reinforcing cycle, which also amplifies longing and emptiness. Brain drain undoubtedly has detrimental effects, but it's also important to recognize its good aspects. The GDP of Nepal is largely influenced by the remittances made by its overseas citizens, who also provide a sizable amount of funding for the economy. Those who pursue jobs or study overseas frequently return with useful skills, new viewpoints, and a variety of experiences. These qualities can support Nepal's growth and development if appropriately tapped.


The dangerous long-term effects of brain drain, however, are hidden under the apparent short-term benefits. Critical shortages might result from an unbalanced departure of educated workers in crucial industries like technology, healthcare, and education. The country's growth and innovation may be hampered by the loss of knowledge in these fields. Additionally, if this pattern continues for several years, Nepal may develop a demographic skew that is predominately made up of elderly people and very young people, which might hurt the country's overall growth trajectory.


In response to comparable problems, some countries have effectively addressed the brain drain by putting into practice tailored policies. For example, Malaysia and Thailand have aggressively fought back against the brain drain. Malaysia did this by making significant expenditures in infrastructure, research, and education, creating a climate that encourages talent retention. To encourage its diaspora to return and aid in the country's growth, India, which was dealing with similar problems, devised initiatives.

 

The fight against brain drain in Nepal demands a multifaceted approach. This calls for large expenditures in the infrastructure of both education and research, as well as the creation of a setting that promotes creativity and entrepreneurship. Addressing basic problems like political stability and corruption is equally important. To support the growth of the country, policymakers should think about creating incentives that encourage competent employees to remain and share their knowledge.

 

Nepal is at a crossroads because of brain drain, where it must evaluate immediate economic benefits against long-term costs. The key to addressing this difficulty is collaboration among numerous stakeholders, including the governmental and business sectors, academic institutions, and people themselves. The country has to put effort into building a setting that not only preserves its potential but also nourishes and uses it as it moves forward. Nepal can guarantee that its talent pool stays within its borders by making conscious efforts to address the causes of brain drain and create an environment of opportunity and prosperity, opening the door for a better and more successful future for the country and its people.

The World We Live In
- Sajiya Tamang - 25065, Grade ... 07 September, 2023

Nobody knows why our world came into existence and why we exist. If there are questions about it, there is no answer. Our world exists, it simply does and we don't know why. There are no more questions about reality itself. We live our life and we pass away. Looking into this deeper reality, we feel that there is absurdism at all levels. Nothing is permanent in this world. If something lives then it dies too. There is an end to everything and nothing remains in this world forever. We are mortal beings and it cannot be questioned why because it is simply the rule of our world. 
We are born from our mother’s womb and we have got an opportunity to experience this world. Some believe that we are created by god whereas some don't believe in god. After we are brought into this world, we grow up with the time passing by. Some understand the value of life and cherish every moment in their lives whereas some try to end their lives early. But they are not to blame. People have their own reasons for ending their lives. In the world we live in, happiness is not permanent. Life is all about facing ups and downs, and building our confidence to be able to handle our problems by ourselves. It is not guaranteed anywhere by anyone that everything in this world is good for us, and all the people are good. Every person is different from one another. Some people are good and some are bad from the beginning. Some are good at the beginning, but become bad afterwards and vice versa. This also helps in proving that nothing is permanent here. 
There are good factors along with bad ones in this world. There is no place in the world where only good people live and only good things exist.  If there are good people and success, there are also those people who are jealous and selfish who want everything good for themselves and no one other. A child does not have knowledge about good and bad so he/she doesn't really know whether they are doing something good or bad. It is the elders responsibility to show them the right way. As a person ages with time he/she gets to know about the real world more and more. Then he/she will come to know about the reality of the world we live in.
Many people suffer here. Some of them are bold to face it while others choose to die. There are so many negative factors in this world which were developed by the people here. Some people are cruel, sinner and so evil that they get pleasure by hurting other people, and they never regret it. But some are as kind and warm as the angel. They get pleasure from helping other people. We face both kinds of people throughout our life and it is us who decide whether to choose the right path or the wrong in our life. 
Our life depends on our own choices and judgements. Living in this world is hard but getting the best version of ourselves is even harder and more challenging. Therefore we should consider our decisions carefully and survive enjoying the best times of this world.

एसइई पछिका ती दिनहरू
- Raunak Regmi - 25039, Grade X ... 06 September, 2023

म रौनक रेग्मी । अहिले कक्षा ११ मा पढ्छु । मैले एसइई दिएपछि के के गर्ने भनेर पहिले सोचेको थिएँ । एसइई पछि म पुरै साथीभाइ, परिवारहरूसँग घुम्न जानी भनेर सोचेको थिएँ । 
एसइई दिएर आको दिनमा एकदम खुसी थिएँ ।  घर आएर लुगाहरू खोलेर म खाजा साजा खाएर दाइहरूसँग खेल्न गएँ । खुशीले भरिएको म अब के के गर्ने भनेर सोच्न थालिसकेको थिएँ ।  


पहिले त मैले सब किताबहरू झोलामा राखेर बेच्न राखिदिएँ । अनि बल्ल एसइई सिद्धिएको भएर मेरो आमाले मलाई मनकामना मन्दिर लैजाने निधो गर्नुभयो । 


एसइई सिद्धिएको त खुसीयाली थियो थियाे । अब त बाहिर घुम्न जानी पनि खुसी थपियो ।  त्यही खुसीमा म मेरो कपडाहरू मिलाउन लागेँ ।  आमाले भन्नु भएअनुसार हामी तिन चार दिनको लागि यात्रा जाँदै थियाैँ ।  बिहानै सबै सामान मिलाएर हामी मनकामनाको यात्रामा हिड्याैँ ।  मनकामना जना ३-४ घण्टा लाग्थ्यो ।  त्यसैले हामी बाटोमा खाँदै बिस्तारै पुग्याैँ ।  होटेल बुक गरिसकेका थियाैँ । त्यसैले हामी मन्दिर दर्शन गरेर खाना खाएर सुत्नतिर लाग्याैँ । 


भोलिपल्ट हामीले केबल कार पनि चड्याैँ ।  हाम्राे गोर्खा हुँदै घर जाने योजना थियो । हामी फर्किदा रमाइलो गर्दै ठाउँ ठाउँमा बस्दै गोर्खातिर गयाैँ ।  त्यही एउटा होटेलमा बस्याैँ ।हामी लामो सिडीँ चड्दै गोर्खा  राजदरबार पुग्याैँ।  त्यहाँ धेरै मान्छेहरू आएका थिए ।


सिडीँ चड्दा मेरो खुट्टा दुखिसकेको थियो ।  महिले बाबा ममीलाई भनेर कोक किनेर खाएँ ।  माथि त्यो मुख्य दरबार हेर्न खोजेको त्यो बन्दै रहेछ त्यसैले हामीले फोटाहरू खिचेर त्यहीबाट फर्कियाैा ।  तल आउँदा बिस्तारै बन जङ्गल हेर्दै आयाैँ ।  त्यहाँ हामीले फोटाहरू पनि धेरै नै खिच्याैँ । त्यहाँ मैले देखेको धेरै मानिसहरू साइकल लिएर आउँदा रहेछन् ।  हामी अब त्यहाँबाट सिधै घर आउने निधो गर्याैँ ।  घर आउँदा बाटोमा नास्ताहरू पनि खायाैँ । आउँदा नौबिसेको जामको डर थियो तर त्यहाँ केही जाम भएन त्यसैले हामी घर ३ घण्टा जतिमा आइ पुग्याैँ । 


थकाइ पनि धेरै लागेको थियो, भोलिपल्ट धेरै कुरा त गरिनँ । त्यसै घरमै सुतेर बसेँ । मैले तयसपछि मेरो ट्युसनको शिक्षकलाई पनि भेट्न गएँ ।


एसइईपछि मलाई धेरै कुराहरू पनि सिक्नु थियो। मैले बाबालाई भनेर धेरै चाहिएको कुरा सिकाउने सेन्टरहरू खोज्न गएँ । 


मलाई कम्प्युटर बारे धेरै कुराहरू सिक्नु थियो । एसइईपछि जिम जान्छु भनेर सोचेको थिए । त्यो बुझ्न पनि एकदिन मिलाएर जानु थियो । त्यो दिन त त्यसैगरी बित्यो । अब भोलिपल्ट  घर नजिकैको जिममा बुझ्न गएँ ।  पछि त्यही जिममा भर्ना पनि भए । बाबाले मेरो लागि पढ्ने  सेन्टर पनि हेर्दिनु भएछ। त्यसैले त्यो पनि बुझ्न गएँ   । घरबाट सब जानालाई कुन कलेज हाल्ने भनेर टेन्सन थियो ।  त्यसैले बाबाले गएर अल्फाबिटामा ब्रिज कोर्स हाल्दिनु भएछ। अब हालेपछि पड्नुनै पर्यो । त्यहाँ पनि जानु थियो ।  मलाई त अब एसइईको बिदा पनि पढेर नै जान्छ भनेर लाग्दै थियो । मैले सोचे जस्तो त भएन ।  त्यहाँ पनि मज्जा नै आयो ।  धेरै साथिहरू भेटियो अनि धेरै नयाँ कुरा पनि सिकियो।  


त्यहाँबाट नै मलाई धेरै कलेजहरू भ्रमण गराउन लग्यो । त्यहाँबाट धेरै कलेज लाग्दा नयाँ नयाँ कलेज देख्न पाइयो। हामीलाई त्यहाँ बाट ३-४ वोटा जति कलेज लग्यो। 


मेरो एकजना नजिकै दाइ पनि विदेशबाट आउनु भएको थियो। पहिला त रमाइलो गर्न पाउँदिन थिएँ अब त एसइई पनि सकिएको थियो।  म दाइहरूसँग बिहेहरूमा पनि धेरै गएँ ।  हामी पशुपतितिर पनि घुम्न गयाैँ । 


दाइसँग हिकिङ्ग गर्ने  योजना पनि बनको थिए।  हामी शिवपुरी को डाडा तिर जानी भनेर बसेम।  भोलि पल्ट बिहानै घाम न आउदै हामी शिवपुरी का लागि हिडेम।  धेरै हिडे पछि हामी बल्ल बल्ल गर्दै चडेम। हामी ले कोक र अरु खाजा पनि ल्याये का थियेम।  हामी चड्दै कोक  खाएम र पछि माथि पुगेम।  त्यहाँ पुगे पछि हामीले खाजा साजा खाना थालेम। हामी त्यहाँ बाट फर्किदा बेलुका हुन लागि सकेको थियो।  तेही कारण पनि हामी चाडै फर्किनु पर्थ्यो।  त्यो दिन ले थाकिसकेको मा भोलि पल्ट सेन्टर पडन गइन। मेरो त्यहाँ पड्ने दिन हरू पनि सिद्धिन लागेको थियो। मेरो एसइई सक्केको भएर मेरो मामा र माईजु  पाल्पा बाट आउनु भएको थियो।  उहा हरू हाल पाल्पा बस्नु हुन्छ।  मामा र माईजु आउनुभए पछि हामी धेरै ठाउँ घुम्न गएम ।  हामी पहिला त सामान किन्न भनेर गएम।  माईजु र ममा ले मलाई धेरै समान किन्दिनु भयो। तेस्तो ढिला नै नगरिकन म धेरै कलेज हरू जान थाले।  अरु कलेज भन्दा मलाई डियरवालक उत्क्रिसठ लग्यो।  तेसै कारण मैले येही पढ्ने निधो राखे।  मेरो  एसइई पछि का दिन हरू येसरी नै बित्यो ।

के भए मानव
- Pranish Khanal - 24080, Grade ... 05 September, 2023

सोच र चिन्तनले नकारात्मक भए मानव 
भ्रष्टाचार र चलखेलमा लतपत भए मानव 
पैसा! पैसा भनी  मरिहत्ते गर्न लागे मानव 
डलर, युरो र पाउण्डमा बिक्ने भए मानव ।

 

लौन आज के भए मानव !

 

अहो कठै !
यी माना कस्ता दिनहरू रहेछन् 
मानव नै आज मानवका ठूला शत्रु भएछन् 
सानो सुखी परिवार त्यागी खोक्रो महल रोज्ने भए मानव
नातागोता सबै त्यागी एक्लौटो भएका छन् मानव

 

लौन आज के भए मानव !

 

लोभले धर्म र प्रतिष्ठा गुमाउने भए मानव, 
अरुको डाह र आरिसले जलेर मर्ने भए मानव 
अकुत अनियमित धनप्रति लालाहित भए मानव 
हे ईश्वर 
तैले प्रमाणित गरेको सर्वश्रेष्ठ प्राणी
के यही हो र मानव !

 

मानव भएको घमण्ड र अहङ्कार गर्ने, 
सनतान कहन्थे आफूलाई प्रकृतिका 
आफ्नै जननीलाई आज क्षति पुर्याउने 
लौन आज के भए मानव !

The Butterfly Effect: Greening Planet through Minor Actions
- Muskan Singh - 24023, Grade X ... 04 September, 2023

Butterfly effect refers to small changes having a bigger impact in the complex system of nature. It’s like a small event but can have a big ripple effect. In this context, whatever we do for the environment has its own impact. If we try to do such actions which can bring positive changes, surely there will be impactful contributions. This concept had been introduced around 1890 but got popular very late around 1961, and was referred to as a model used for weather prediction. The meteorologist, Edward Lornez found out that just a fluttering of butterfly wings, which is a small change in the air molecules, can bring different weather conditions on the planet. 


Human activities have negative as well as positive effects on the environment. But for a few years whatever we have been doing has polluted the ocean, chemically transformed the soil, emitted pollutants in the air and also soared deforestation. The most critical issue is biodiversity. Many species had been extinct which had a domino effect, i.e. imbalance in the biodiversity. This is more important than global warming as it has long term effects on humans and all the other species as a whole. Even the unrelated species like the Mexican long nosed bat disappearance will not only impact its habitat but others too. So, it's high time we be careful of our actions. The interconnectedness of the butterflies, flora and fauna is really delicate and has a great impact on the environment. 


There are problems but there are also solutions to such problems. As we face the challenges of the that’s the butterfly effect, we find the solutions by the same. It is an idea, a solution which can help us to grace ourselves successfully out of these issues. Nothing is impossible, and if everyone gets along together, we will surely be able to tackle it. The things in the world around us are interconnected to each other, and even small actions can trigger a diverse impact. So, whatever we do comes back to us in some way. The sixth mass extinction event have been held and it seems to be a greater one as a Harvard’s biologist, Edward O. Willson stated that half of the animals and plant species might not be there by 2100 due to our actions. There is a positive power to this which is discussed above. 


In conclusion the essence of this article is to let the readers know the interconnectedness between the choices we have, the environment we live in, and the balance of nature and biodiversity as a whole which can be stated in a quote, “If Nothing ever changed, there would be no butterfly”. So simply change means butterfly effect and it doesn't matter how seemingly insignificant an act might look but it will certainly change something. This belief will help all of us to get rid of such big issues which seem to have no solution but it does.
