I remember that day, that particular color-
But my mind is fuzzy now, don’t know for sure;
I believe ’twas maroon, but deeper it was,
I believe ’twas navy, but colder it was;

I still ponder, if I was underwater…
I ask myself, I ask myself, myself I ask again;
I believe ’twas yellow, yet warmer the feeling,
I believe ’twas red, yet horrifying it was;

I miss that feeling, my lord i wish,
Insecure I am; and I still remember;
I believe ’twas gray, lonelier it was as much
I believe ’twas white, happier it was as much.

Was I dreaming or was it lucid?
The reality haunts me now; I don’t know;
I believe was celeste, heavenly I assume,
I believe was emerald, noble I assume,
Believing isn’t enough, I must feel it again,
Dark as black or transparent as white,
Pale as gray and I don’t care if ’twas as sweet as pink-
A particular color, perfection it was.

As far as it flexes, or as straight as a stick,
Perfection it achieved, yet I can’t remember;
I want it back, can’t I have it? I need some answers,
I want it back for you, that particular color;
I want it back for you, that particular color.
 

Professional athletes dedicate their entire lives to train themselves in order to excel. All day long, professional athletes put their respective sports into continual practices. They put in tremendous loads of work and attention on a professional level.

However, it is quite distressing to see how athletes are currently faring in Nepal. Their monthly income, which is likewise on a professional level, is only about rs 30000. First or second division athletes do not even come close to collecting that much money. Professional athletes must train, maintain their physical condition, be physically fit, and have quick reactions. Therefore, they must train themselves throughout the year to maintain their physical fitness. Additionally, their food is crucial for building their strength and physique. They don't even get enough to cover all of their fundamental demands amidst the contemporary society's ever-increasing energy crisis. Observing nations like the United States and Australia, who provide their professional athletes with a significant salary which could ultimately be seen as the reward for all of their effort and hard work. But, given the government's disregard for this sector, the likelihood of pursuing a career as a professional athlete in Nepal is so remote that many people have even quit their jobs and switched to other professions. Without a doubt, the payment they receive is insufficient to satisfy their drives for success and their devotions to uphold Nepal's national honour. The Nepalese women's team won the Saff U-19 Cup and was given a gift from the government worth 5 lakh as a result of recent occurrences. Can we honestly believe that the nation's young ladies, who gave it their all on the field and gave their lives to achieve this, should only be compensated with 5 lakh for such an amazing feat? Even the government-provided gear is not durable enough for the athletes. The majority of the equipment is outdated, worn out, or exhausted. The management needs to be among the most significant factors in the problematic state of sports in Nepal. The national sports council has been given a budget of NRS 2.9 billion by the Nepalese government, but each year this money is only used to fund the management's personal luxuries and way of life, which is one of the reasons thousands of athletes give up their careers in sports. Sandip Lamichhane, the captain of the Nepali cricket team and one of the country's most well-known athletes, trained and practiced in Australia. We can therefore draw the conclusion that Nepal's current sports and athlete growth situation is very poor and that it can only be improved through government-wide efforts and public pressure.

किन रुन्छ यो मन देख्दा यो दुर्दशा 
यो दु:ख, यो कष्ट मलाई मात्र हो कि, 
कहाँ जानु अब याे व्यथा म बाेकी
भएर नि मनमा नदेखिएकाे हाे कि  ?

किन लुकाऊँ म मेरो पीडा याे ?
देखाउन खाेज्छु सबैलाई पीडा याे 
थाहा पाउन् सबैले म काे र कहाँ छु 
कुनै अन्धकारभित्र म भित्र जहाँ छु । 

कति फैलाउनु यी पापी हात 
दिँदैनन् त कसैले अब साथ ,
अब रहेनन् साथी, रहेन कुनै मित्रता 
जानी नजानी म त भासिएछु कता ?

अघि बढ्ने, मेहेनत गर्ने को छ र यहाँ 
खुट्टा तान्दै अघि बढ्ने सबै छन् यहाँ
देख्छु म सबैको आँखामा शत्रुता ।
मानवता नै हराएको आभास हुँदैछ यो मनमा 

गौतम बुद्ध जन्मिएको यो देशमा 
स्नेह र ममताले पाइला छोड्दैछ 
सम्बन्ध थाह छैन तर, नाता जाेडिदै छ
आश्चर्यमा छु म यो संसार कता मोडिदै छ ?
 

मन्द मुस्कान गुलाबी ओठ ताजै आउँछन्
अझै तिम्रा यादहरू मनमा गहिरो गरी आउँछन्
तिम्रा त्याे नम्र बोली अनि मधुर स्वरले
मलाई सम्मान दिन बाध्य बनाउँछ, तिमीलाई ।

प्रिय साथी याद आउँछ  मलाई  
तिमीसँग भएका ती छाेटा भेटहरू
सम्झन्छु मनमा आएका अनौठा भावहरू
अनि अहिले सम्झन्छु, म धेरै भाग्यमानी रहेछु
उराठ मेराे जीवनलाई  चिन्न पाउँदै छु।

तिमीसँग बोल्दा एकोहाेरिएकी हुन्छु म
खै किन सुरक्षाका भावहरू झल्किन्छन् आँखामा
सायद नाताभन्दा भावनाकाे सम्बन्ध प्रिय रहेछ 
त्यसैले भाग्यमानी म छु जस्तै लाग्छ 
तिमी जस्तो प्रिय साथी पाएकी छु ।

तान्छ मलाई तिम्रो त्यो सङ्गीतले
सँगै हुँदा गुनगुनाएकाे त्याे गीतले
तानेर ल्याउँछ मलाई तिम्राे समीपमा
जीवनकाे काखमा, सुनाैलाे भाकामा
त्यसैले त म तिमीलाई भन्ने गर्छु
तिमी मेराे जीवनकाे सारथी हाै ।

Linux is an open source operating system (or kernel), just like Windows and macOS (formerly OS X). One of the most well-known examples of open source, free software is Linux. In actuality, Linux powers one of the most widely used mobile platforms, Android. An operating system is a piece of software that controls the hardware and resources of a computer system, including the Central Processing Unit (CPU), memory, and storage. The operating system, to put it simply, controls how software and hardware communicate. A computer cannot operate without an operating system.

Linus Torvalds initially released the Unix-like operating system Linux available as a free and open source replacement for Minix, another Unix clone that was mainly applied in academic environments on September 17, 1991. Under the terms of the GNU General Public License, the source code may be altered and made available to anyone for commercial or noncommercial purposes. At the beginning, Linus thought about calling it "Freax". Linux was initially created for personal computers based on the Intel x86 architecture and was intended to be similar to the UNIX operating system. Due to compatibility issues, only a limited number of devices were initially supported and were able to run Linux, but as time went on, several contributions helped Linux develop. Due to its open source code, Linux has now been ported to more platforms than any other operating system existed till now.

Linux is one of the most secure operating systems. It has good hardware and software compatibility. Because of the freedom to do anything like modify the source code as our need, customization, and many more, Linux is being used in a wide area of technology. Knowingly or unknowingly, we have already used Linux because of the fact that more than ninety six percent of servers around the world run Linux which means there is a high chance that the website we visited on the internet is powered by servers running Linux. It is widely regarded as the backbone of the internet. Out of the top five hundred supercomputers, all of them are powered by the Linux operating system. Nowadays, many embedded systems like routers, televisions, smart watches, etc run on Linux. Linux is also used by every major space program in the world, including NASA and the ESA because of the stability and efficiency that it provides. Linux is also popular because of its mascot, Tux which is a penguin. Linus chose a penguin as the mascot because he was bitten by a penguin on his visit to a zoo.

Linux is an open source meaning it is a community driven project. Contributors from all over the world are contributing to Linux in different ways like contributing their codes, promoting Linux, donating the project, and so on. There are more than fourteen thousand Linux contributors who have contributed their codes. New codes contributed by the contributors will be added to the next version and made available with Linux if it is accepted as a universal improvement. Many big tech giants are also contributing to Linux actively.

Linux is a free and open source community driven operating system which can do anything that a Windows operating system or any other operating system can do but with the extra benefit of freedom to do anything and also with the added benefit of privacy, all without costing a cent.
 

ऊर्जा भनेकाे शक्तिकाे स्राेत हाे । जुन हामीले दैनिक प्रयोग गर्छौँ । कोइला, पेट्रोल, डिजेल, मट्टितेल, प्राकृतिक ग्यास, जलविद्युत, सौर्य ऊर्जा, आदि जस्ता ऊर्जाको स्रोतलाई विभिन्न प्रयोगका लागि ऊर्जा निकाल्न प्रयोग गरिन्छ । ऊर्जाका स्रोतहरू दुई प्रकारका हुन्छन्: नवीकरणीय र अनवीकरणीय । पेट्रोल, डिजेल, मट्टितेल, कोइला, प्राकृतिक ग्यास, आणविक इन्धनहरू अनवीकरणीय ऊर्जाका स्रोतहरू हुन् । समुद्री ज्वार, सौर्य ऊर्जा, वायु ऊर्जा, जलविद्युत नवीकरणीय  ऊर्जाका स्रोतहरू हुन् । 
हाम्रो देशले विभिन्न कारणले ऊर्जालाई महत्त्व दिन्छ । यो एक महत्त्वपूर्ण आर्थिक शक्ति हो । यसले नयाँ व्यापार, बजार र देशकाे आर्थिक स्राेतलाई मजबुत बनाउँछ । ऊर्जाविना दैनिक उपभोग्य वस्तुहरू साना वा ठुला स्तरमा उत्पादन गर्न असम्भव छ । हाम्रो देशमा लामो समयदेखि ऊर्जा सङ्कट एक चुनौतीका रूपमा रहेको छ । विशेषगरी नेपालजस्तो विकासोन्मुख मुलुकमा पूर्वाधार विकास गर्न र जनताको आवश्यकता पूरा गर्न ठुलो मात्रामा ऊर्जाको आवश्यकता छ । नेपालमा बाह्रै महिना बग्ने नदीहरू छन्, जुन विद्युत उत्पादनका लागि उपयुक्त छन् । तर जलविद्युत उत्पादनमा अझै पनि धेरै विकास हुन सकेको छैन ।  नेपालमा जलविद्युतको प्रचुर सम्भावना भए पनि ऊर्जाका लागि अन्य स्रोतहरूमा निर्भर रहनुपरेकाे छ । जीवाश्म इन्धनहरू त्यस्ता प्रकारका स्रोतहरूमध्ये एक हो जुन नेपालमा मात्र नभई विश्वका अन्य भागहरूमा पनि ऊर्जाको भारी माग पूरा गर्न प्रयोग गरिन्छ।

विश्वव्यापी ऊर्जा सङ्कट धेरै जसाे देशहरूले भाेगेकाे समस्या हो । अत्यधिक ऊर्जा खपत, अत्यधिक जनसङ्ख्या, विद्युत उत्पादन उपकरणको कमजोर पूर्वाधार, नयाँ पावर प्लान्टहरू सञ्चालनमा ढिलाइ, प्राकृतिक प्रकोप, कर वृद्धि जस्ता कारणले विश्वले अहिले ऊर्जा सङ्कट भोगिरहेको छ । अनवीकरणीय ऊर्जाका स्रोतहरू समाप्त हुँदै गएका कारण विश्वले अहिले ऊर्जा सङ्कटको सामना गरिरहेको छ ।
विभिन्न नवीकरणीय ऊर्जाका स्रोतहरू अपनाउनु ऊर्जा सङ्कटको लागि उत्तम उपाय हो । ऊर्जा सङ्कटबाट बच्नको लागि हामीले हाम्रो घरमा ऊर्जा बचतको अभ्यास सुरु गर्न सक्छौँ । प्रयोगमा नभएको बेला बत्ती, पङ्खा र अन्य उपकरणहरू बन्द गर्ने, ग्यासको सट्टा सौर्य ऊर्जा प्रयोग गर्ने, ट्युब वा बल्बको सट्टा एलइडी वा सिएफ एल चिमकाे प्रयाेग गर्ने गर्याैँ भने पनि धेरै ऊर्जा बचत गर्न सकिन्छ । ऊर्जाको नोक्सान नहोस् भनेर विद्युत लाइनकाे मर्मत सम्भार गर्न सकिन्छ ।  

Ah! I adore the flowers, you send me,
And the love, that releases my stress,
Noone can love me like you do-
You left no time for me to impress.

From the dawn to the dusk,
I feel those warm hands on me,
Your love shall never be betrayed-
I will, if I’d have to kneel down on my knee.

You make me strong, you make me weak.
Those feelings are intense, sometimes makes me sick-
You are far away, but always on top, at the peak-
Oh! Those moments are sweet, happy to stick.

I see the image in me, the reflection still,
You are my power, you are my will,
Your words go deep into my ears-
My eternity perhaps, conceals the tears.

I got my place on your heart,
You have so within me too,
No matter the distance between us-
Mom! I’m blessed-
Forever, love me like you do!

Drug abuse is a societal problem that has destroyed many lives and is slowly spreading in our surrounding society to destroy more. Drugs have negative psychological and physical effects on users. Around the world, young people have been the ones who are mostly impacted by it.
Drugs are not completely bad substances as they are used in many fields of health to cure certain diseases and if used in a proper manner they can save many lives. So in modern times, the easy accessibility of most things has made life comfortable. Yet, like the two sides of the same coin it has also invited many challenges.
One of the problems afflicting most nations of the world is drug abuse. It is a social evil which can destroy the future of a society. It can make it weak and hollow as it gradually and slowly decreases the quality of human resources of a country.
Today, there is an alarming increase of drug abuse among school and college students. Drugs such as cocaine, heroine, LSD, crack, and among the milder ones like marijuana and shrooms are taken for their energizing and relaxing qualities as they help the user to escape the harsh reality that they are probably facing; nevertheless, sometimes drugs are even taken for the purpose of fun and enjoyment. But not realizing that this misadventure can mislead them to addiction- a trap from which it is difficult to get out.
Initially, these drugs may give you kicks but ultimately become a threat to the addict’s life. Addiction to drugs of any kind even to some extent, alcohol or pain killers, tranquillizers develop suicidal tendencies, affecting a person’s mind, moods, emotions and feelings. They are also responsible for human violence, aggression and crime. When a person is addicted to drugs, s/he slowly loses focus on her/his goal. A person needs drugs to  constantly keep her/himself away from the pain. Being addicted to drugs may also mean financial loss as this habit comes with a high price. A person will lose everything in his life but will not be able to free her/himself from drugs if he lacks the will to.
A person can become pathetic because of the influence of drugs; s/he might be unable to control her/his thoughts and actions. Physical and mental harm caused to them is irreparable, as breaking this habit requires a lot of determination, courage and patience. The process of coming out of it is extremely painful as it involves frequent pain. Addicts cannot function as normal members of the society; they neglect and abuse their families who also are traumatized. Not only this, it is one of the causes for encouraging crime.
This menace of drugs can be avoided by educating children at home and in schools about drugs. They need to be made aware of the ill effects of drugs so that they can make the right  decisions to avoid this problem. It is common knowledge that very often young children get into this habit because of the influence of their friends and the desire to become a part of the so-called fashionable, liberal and modern society. Thus, the youth society has to be told to make the right choices which falls down to the responsibilities of parents and schools to lay a strong foundation of moral character and discipline.
 

नसोध मलाई के छ भनी 
नसोध मलाई मेरा हाल खबरहरू 
म अझै बाँचिरहेको छु 
मैले त बस् तिमी प्रतिका भावना 
मात्र मार्न खोजेकी छु ।

पहिलेको तिमी र अहिलेको तिमीमा
आकाश जमिनकाे अन्तर देख्दै छु 
सायद सम्बन्ध मेरा  भावनाले मात्र नहुने रहेछ 
कि भावना हराउन धेरै समय नलाग्ने रहेछ ?

अहिले आफैसँग डर लाग्दै छ, 
कतै फेरि यही भावनाहरूको जालमा पर्ने त हाेइन ?
त्यो सुनसान रातमा चम्किलो जुनलाई नियाल्दै सम्झन्छु , 
सोच्छु किन म यस्तो कुरामा अल्झिदै छु ?

मलाइ थाहा छ, कुनै यस्तो दिन आउनेछ, 
जब त्यही  सुनसान जुनेली रातलाई  
खुसीको खबरले चम्काउने छ, 
त्याे खुसीले सुन्दर संसार सजाउने छ ।
 
भावनाको संसार रमाइलो  हुँदो रहेछ ,
हृदय चाहिँ रित्तो हुँदो रहेछ
पानी बिनाको माछा झैँ
सम्झिए त्यो हाम्रो बिगत

हाम्रो त के भनूँ ,
तिमीले  त कुनै हिस्सा नै लिएनौ 
मेरो जीवनकाे
म आफूलाई के भनूँ 
यो मेरो कमजोरी हो
कब्जा गर्न सक्दिन म 
नियन्त्रण गर्न सक्दिन यी भावनालाई 
नियत्रण गर्न सक्दिन यी भावनालाई

हरेक बिहानी उठ्छु म, के होला त्यस्तो ?
सोच्छु म हरेक दिन, के होला मेरो ?
गर्नु त परिहाल्यो, तर गर्नु चाहिँ के ?
संसार त चलिरहन्छ, तर म संसारभन्दा छिटो चल्नु पर्यो ।

बिहानी त जहिल्यै आउँछ,तर सुनौलो आउनुपर्यो,
को हो त्योभन्दा, सबैको मुखमा मेरो नाम आउनुपर्यो ।
के सक्छु त मैले मेरो नाम बनाउन, म सोच्दै छु, 
कङ्काल नै कङ्कालको माझमा, सफलताको बाटो खोज्दै छु ।

सोच्छु म हरेक दिन र रात, कस्तो भविष्य के पो देख्छु,
यत्तिकै कुरेर बस्दिन म, आफ्नो निधारमा म आफैँ लेख्छु  ।
बन्द छन् यी आँखा, संसार बुझ्ने प्रयास गर्दै छु, 
बन्द छन् यी आँखा, तर आफै खोल्न प्रयास गर्दै छु ।

घमण्डी सोच्नुहोला मलाई तर, यो कुरा बुझ्नुहोओस्,
सफलताको मियाे छोड्दिन चाहे मलाई हेरोस् नहेरोस् ।
सफलताले मलाई हेरोस् नहेरोस्, बुझ्ने कुरा त्यो, 
बनाएर जान्छु म जसरी पनि, अब्बल अस्तित्व मेरो।

यो त केवल सोचाइ मात्र हो, मेरो चाहना हो, 
सोचेर मात्र हुँदैन , सत्यता बनाउनु मेरो कामना हो ।
गर्नेले त गरिहाल्छ हजुर, कामै त हो ,
अरूको काम हेर्ने, मेरो काम गरेर देखाउने हो ।

The positions of the sun, the moon, the planets, sensitive angles at the time of an event, such as the moment of a person's birth, and other astrological aspects are depicted in an astrological chart or diagram known as horoscope. The Greek terms ōra and scopus, mean ‘time’ and ‘observer’ respectively, and they are the sources of the English word, ‘horoscope.’ It is the foundation of the horoscopic traditions of astrology and is employed as a kind of divination regarding occurrences related to the moment in time that it symbolises. Newspapers, both online and in print frequently include horoscope articles.

The word ‘horoscope’ is used in common parlance to refer to an astrologer's interpretation, which is typically based on a solar system of sun sign astrology, strictly based on the sun's position at the time of our birth; or it is solely based on the calendar significance of an event, as in Chinese astrology. In particular, many periodicals and newspapers publish prognostic columns that are purportedly based on celestial influences in relation to the zodiacal placement of the sun on the person's birth month. Birth charts, known as kundali in Hindu astrology, are said to be based on the motion of the stars and the moon. When a person's kundali is verified, auspicious events and rituals are initiated, including marriages where the boy and the girl's birth charts match.

No scientific studies have ever been conducted to validate astrological predictions, and the methods used to develop interpretations are pseudo-scientific. The transmission of the alleged link between a person's birth and the location of the stars in the sky cannot be explained by any known interaction in the context of modern science. In all of the studies that have been conducted, keeping strict methods that include a control group and complete blinding between experimenters and subjects, horoscopes have not been found to have any influence beyond random chances. Furthermore, research on the Forer or Barnum effect has shown that personality profiles and forecasts may be made sufficiently all-encompassing to please the majority of people in a huge audience.

The Pianist is an Oscar-winning 2002 film. The film was shot in Poland, and also in Prague and in a German studio. The Pianist is about a young Jewish musician living in Warsaw who struggles to understand the Nazi invasion of his nation, the creation of the Warsaw Ghetto, and the madness that led to the Holocaust. THE PIANIST is a true story of Wladyslaw Szpilman (Adrien Brody ) who was playing Chopin on a Warsaw radio station when the first German bombs fell; although the technicians run for cover, he keeps playing until a blast shatters the window of the studio, then the Jewish pianist in Poland is caught by the Nazis during World War II. Jews were imprisoned in a Ghetto and later transported to concentration camps after the Nazis seize Poland. There is a graphic violence: Men and women are shot in the head for little to no reason, a man in a wheelchair is tossed off a balcony, a man lying injured in the road is run over by a tank, wartime violence of machine-gun battles, bombed-out cities, explosions, and casualties. The movie is not too long, vivid, and there are certain unbearable emotional human moments that are its most effective scenes. The city's Jews were forced to give up their possessions and move to the Warsaw Ghetto. The pianist however escapes for a day and walks through the bright flower stalls in the crowded market outside the Ghetto. At a time when the violence committed by the Nazis against the Jews appear unforgivable, a German soldier who enjoys music shows kindness to the pianist while Jewish victims prey on one another. The closing scenes of the movie involve Szpilman's confrontation with a German captain named Wilm Hosenfeld who finds his hiding place by accident. The movie ends on the perfect bittersweet note – life and hope have returned, but no aspect of the future will remain untouched by the past.

The Pianist is not a drama, therefore it resists the need to intensify the tension or the emotion; rather, it is the pianist's narrative through his eyes of what he witnessed and what happened to him. When all the people he cared about died, Polanski remarked that his survival was not an achievement. He also stated that his mother's death in the gas chambers was still so painful that only his death would bring him closure. The Pianist is an intense movie and I think that it is a must watch for high school kids and above.

In my opinion, I would say this is one of the most powerful movies about war and the resilience of the human spirit ever made. The movie wants to inspire thought and discussion on the extremes of good and evil in humanity.
