Stephen Hawking is a great Theoretical Physicist and Cosmologist of all times. He was born on the 8th of January, 1942, in Oxford, England. He graduated in 1962, and joined Trinity Hall, Cambridge for PhD in Cosmology. He was a member of the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge in 1968. He discovered the second law of Black Hole dynamics and he proposed the four laws of Black Hole mechanics. He was awarded the Dannie Heineman Prize, the Maxwell Prize, etc. He was even appointed as a professor in gravitational physics in 1977 and he received the Albert Einstein Medal and an honorary doctorate from the University of Oxford.  
 
We all know that Stephen Hawking is a great scientist; he made some very dangerous predictions about the end of the existence of human civilization on earth. According to him, humans will be responsible for the end of the existence of human civilization from the earth because humans themselves are trying to make human civilization more advanced.

Two of his main and very dangerous predictions about the end of the human civilization are as follows:

Alien Contact:
The multiverse is a term that scientists use to describe the idea that beyond the observable universe, other universes may exist as well. According to the research of Stephen Hawking, we are not the only ones who exist in the multiverse. There are lots of galaxies in the universe where the possibility of life exists. There are many more civilizations in the multiverse with which we haven’t been able to communicate yet. Those that live in other galaxies or on other planets are known  as Aliens in our language. Nowadays many space research centers are sending signals to space in order to find Aliens and use their new technologies to make our technologies more advanced. We are thinking in a positive way but, what if they are really more advanced than us and at the same time very aggressive? What if they really don't want to make good relations with humans? They could attack on earth; they could try to dominate humans like we dominate other living beings on the earth. They could destroy the earth or clearly they could even want to remove  the existence of human civilizations from earth. So, in my opinion, we shouldn’t send signals to the aliens. This, as a result, may lead to the end of the human civilization from earth…
 

Nuclear war:

Nuclear war refers to the war among countries with the help of nuclear weapons. According to Stephen Hawking, if humans really want to prevail with their existence on earth then we should destroy and stop making nuclear weapons because in contemporary society, we mostly hear news about the conflict between two countries and their war updates. Sometimes, a small war also tries to cause massive destruction. We can take the example of WORLD WAR II (WW II). In the Second World War, two atom bombs were launched by America on two beautiful states of Japan, Nagasaki and Hiroshima. It is believed that the radiation of the atom bombs are still found in the newborns who still happen to have some kind of disability due to it. Nowadays, science has developed even mor: nuclear weapons are also updated with more destructive power. Most of the countries in the world produce nuclear weapons which are very dangerous for the existence of human life. So we shouldn’t promote nuclear war and must stop making nuclear weapons; we have more advanced weapons these days to cause even more harm than what happened in the past. It is believed that the nuclear weapons  of the contemporary period are 3333 times more powerful than what they were before; so, we should think about it and must be careful about producing nuclear weapons.
 

केही वर्ष अघि म मुस्ताङ भ्रमण गर्न गएको थिएँ ।  त्यहाँको बाटो एकदम नराम्रो र डर लाग्दो थियो । मुस्ताङ पुग्न धेरै पहाडहरू कटेर जानुपर्थ्याे । हामी पोखरा बाग्लुङ हुँदै मुस्ताङ गएका थियाैँ ।  त्यहाँको बाटोमा धेरै धुलो धुँवा थियो ।  म्याग्दीकाे सीमा पार नगरुन्जेल बाटाेकाे अवस्था राम्राे थिएन । जब मुस्ताङ सुरु भयाे त्यसपछि त्यहाँको बाटो राम्रो थियो । 
पाेखराबाट हिँडेपछि हामी बेलुकाको खाना खाएर हामी तातोपानी भन्ने ठाउँमा बस्याैँ ।  ताताे पानीमा तातो पानीकाे पाेखरी थियाे । जसमा ताताे पानी आउँथ्यो ।  हामी सबै जना त्यहाँ  गयाैँ । अनि त्यहाँको त्यो तातो पानीमा नुहायाैँ । अनि हामी मुस्ताङतिर लाग्याैँ । मुस्ताङको चिसाे हावा र त्यो त्यहाँको टुप्पोबाट देखिने दृश्य मनमाेहक थियाे ।  मुस्ताङ स्याउ विशेष खालकाे थियाे । त्यहाँकाे मार्फा रक्सी पनि एकदम प्रसिद्ध रहेछ ।  
मुस्ताङमा धेरै जाडो थियो किनभने त्यहाँ नजिकै हिमाल थियो । मुस्ताङमा प्रसिद्ध मुक्तिनाथकाे एउटा मन्दिर रहेछ ।  त्यो मन्दिरमा १०८ ओत धाराहरू पनि रहेछन् ।  मुस्ताङमा मिठो मासु पनि खान पाइने रहेछ । मुस्ताङमा धेरै जसाे विदेशी पर्यटकहरू साइकल चलाएर आएका थिए।  त्यहाँको वातावरण राम्रो थियो ।  हामी मुस्ताङमा २ -३ दिन जति बस्याैँ ।  त्यहाँ धेरै बस्दा र घुम्दा धेरै रमाइलाे भएको थियो । त्यहाँको चिसाे माैसममा तातो चियाको त मजा नै बेग्लै  त्यहाँका मानिसहरू पनि एकदम राम्रा थिए । पहिलो दिन हामी मुस्ताङ पुगेर होटेलमा बस्याैँ । अनि त्यहाँ दर्शन गरेर १०८ धारामा नुहायाैँ । अनि खाना खाएपछि त्यहाँका अरू ठाउँहरू घुम्याैँ । हामी सबै जना त्यहाँ दिनभरि थरि थरि ठाउँमा घुम्याैँ । अनि त्यहाँका घरहरू काठमाडौँको जस्ता थिएनन् । त्यहाँका घरहरू माटाका थिए। त्यहाँका मानिसहरू आगोमा खाना बनाउँथे । त्यहाँक मान्छेहरू एकदम फुर्तिला । तेस्रो दिन हामी सबै जनाले मुस्ताङ भ्रमण गरिसकेका थियाैँ । हामी सबै जनाले आ-आफ्नो समानहरू मिलायाैँ र  सबै जना पोखरामा बास बसेर काठमाडौँ फर्कियाैँ ।

The latest defeat of India in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup has cricket fans scratching their heads: has the IPL which started back in 2008 really revolutionized their T20 cricket or has it just been the opposite of that? Since the IPL started, India hasn’t won any imajor ICC T20 tournament and that has been an area of discussion for many cricket enthusiasts.

Let us start with England first; the current, two times limited-over champions. After the humiliating defeat in the 2015 ODI World Cup, they planned to innovate a form of cricket where they did not just rely on the senior pros who were just in the team for their names, but also, they brought in some young fresh faces into the group. They started a brand of fearless cricket. They groomed their players from the beginning to play a simple and natural form of cricket, and to express themselves in every way they could. Suddenly, after this change, they started getting results. They became a formidable side in limited-overs. The team who were knocked out by Bangladesh in the group stage of the 2015 World Cup were scoring more than 400, which seemed almost impossible in the cricketing world. Suddenly, they had match winners in everyone. Each player on the team could have won the match on any given day. They groomed their all-rounders in the domestic circuit and were the only team to have batting down to number 11; and,  in many ways, this change in their side helped them to play a brand of fearless cricket leaving other teams behind and gaining an elite level.

Now, let's talk about India, a country where cricket flows in everyone's veins. They have facilities, enough money, and every possible cricket infrastructure that we could imagine to play cricket. Even with all of this, they are still thirsting to get their hands on a T20 trophy! So, what is the relationship between IPL and India not winning? The simple reason could be, they are not thinking and utilizing their resources in players from the IPL. IPL has undoubtedly produced a lot of young talents in the country and has set a high standard for players to play a professional brand of cricket. And that has helped in building players, but not teams. The Indian Cricket Team is based on names, not on young players who can actually perform. They are still playing that old-fashioned cricket where they rely heavily on some players and are not performing as a team. The players produced by IPL are way good enough to play professionally, but they are still behind the line of players of the past which has resulted in their underperformance. IPL has been just seen as a money-making tournament rather than a team-building tournament. Even with the new players coming forward, they are not allowing them in the national team and are still stuck with the old goats, which when you compare with England, they have done just the opposite of that. Also, the players from other nations are participating in this tournament thinking to build them professionally, and they are reaping a lot of rewards on the international stage whereas sticking with an old-fashioned form of cricket that has hurt India in recent years.

All in all, IPL has been wonderful for teams and players who are looking forward to improving themselves and playing a new brand of cricket. And in contrast, it has been a money-making business that has left those teams suffering in their pool of wealth. 
 

धेरै मान्छे भेटेको छु मैले
तिमी जस्तो देखेकाे छैन,
माया के हो जान्न खोजेँ  मैले,
भेटिनँ केही सत्य पहिले र अहिले।

साँच्चै  माया के पो रहेछ 
थाह नै नपाई मानिस किन 
अरूको  प्रेममा किन भुल्दाे रहेछ
मान्छे किन अरूकाे प्रेममा डुब्दाे रहेछ

एक्लै हिडेँ  म  उत्तर खोज्न
एक्लाे थिएँ म बेसाहारा जस्तै
तिमी मसँग भेटिएपछि
एक्लै हिँड्ने विचार मेटेँ।

सायद तिमीलाई उत्तर थाहा छ,
वा तिमी नै मेरी उत्तर हौ।
माया के हो खाेज्दाखाेज्दै,
आफ्नो आखाँमा मलाई डुबाउँदै छ्याै ।

तिमीसँग बिताएँका केही पल,
केही सम्झना र केही खुसी
म आजैबाट मेटाउँदै छु ।  
अब  तिम्राे जवाफ चाहिँदैन मलाई।
जान थाल्याै  एक्लै छोडेर तिमी
मायाको झिल्को  नफुकी जलाई।

“It is in Apple’s DNA that technology alone is not enough—it’s technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the results that make our heart sing.” - Steve Jobs 

I’ve seen aspiring scientists getting motivated seeing a picture of Stephen Hawkings, a picture of Richard Feynman and so on; I’ve also seen artists getting inspired seeing a picture of Curt Cobain, Taylor Swift or an image of Aruna Lama. But personally, I have this feeling for this one picture where Rabindranath Tagore and Albert Einstein stood together and it is as if they are radiating some positivity towards me. The following article is based on this feeling of positivity from the junction of sobriety of Science and the beautiful and fragile essence of arts: 

Just like the way I believe that there should be completely scientific people and some other people completely affiliated with social sciences, I also believe that there should also be people with a blend of both of these subjects: My point is that such people should learn and develop the skills of understanding scenarios. To know where to speak on a factual basis, be it all in terms of pure logic or mathematics; theories and laws get priority, where paradoxes and conjectures also deserve some attention. Myths deserve the least of our concerns. Saying this, such people should also know where to wander and get lost in the realm of poetic and artistic avenues where for a certain time everything negates logic and defies the laws of physics. 

Knowing the ‘gravity’ of gravity in different equations, knowing the gravity of words in poems, knowing the gravity of details in paintings and knowing the gravity of nuances in acting and many more, I can state that Gravity itself becomes a great deal in both science and liberal arts. I made the above statement improvising from the things that my physics teacher once said which I enthusiastically agree with: We have to understand the weightage of the very small trivial importance of subjects or we may say quanta elements that make up the field of artform or branch of sciences that we are working on. 

Sometimes only algebra cannot really take us where we want to go, so we have to introduce  calculus. I think there should be a switch of paradigms for a successful product. For an album to be made, I can't always pull off the whole album to be covered in one particular standard tuning: I could play it  in so many different tunings!

To be where I want to be, I know myself that I need both algebra and calculus to solve my inner equation. In the journey, I might even find a different branch of mathematics compatible with Arpan’s life equation. Or also, I can say that I need to change various modes, scales , keys and chords in order to produce quality music to compose and give a proper conclusion to my life’s music album… 
 

क्षेत्रफलका आधारमा नेपाल विश्वका धेरै देशमध्ये एउटा सानो देश हो । नेपालको आर्थिक रूपमा पनि मध्यम स्तरकाे देश हाे भने आर्थिक रूपमा धेरै सम्भावना बाेकेकाे देश हाे । नेपालमा उद्याेग कलकारखानाकाे विकास खासै नभए पनि पर्यटनकाे राम्राे सम्भावना बाेकेकाे देश हाे ।

नेपालमा बाहिरबाट धेरै समानहरू आयात गरिन्छ । खाद्यान्न, कपडा, गाडी र  माेबाइल लगायत अरू थुप्रै समानहरूका लागि हामी अरू देशमा भर पर्नु परेकाे छ । हाम्रो देशमा कुनै समुद्र छैन र समुद्रसँग जाेडिएकाे पनि छैन, त्यसैले हामीले सबै समान आयात गर्नका लागि छिमेकी मुलुककाे भर पर्नु पर्ने हुन्छ । जुन कुरा हाम्रा लागि एउटा बाध्यता नै हाे ।

हाम्रो देश नेपाल सुन्दरताकाे खानी हाे । हाम्राे देशलाई प्रकृतिले धेरै कुरा दिएकाे छ । विश्वका हिमालहरूमध्ये धेरै अग्ला हिमालहरू नेपालमै रहेका छन् । यी हिमालले नेपालकाे सुन्दरता बढाउने काम गरेका छन् । यस्तै यहाँका हरिया वनजङ्गल र सुन्दर पहाडले पर्यटककाे मन लाेभ्याएका छन् । नेपालका विभिन्न ताल खाेलानाला झरना आदि हेर्नका लागि बर्सेनि विदेशी पर्यटककाे भिड लाग्ने गर्छ । त्यसैले नेपाल पर्यटनकाे राम्राे सम्भावना बाेकेकाे मुलुक हाे । नेपालका विभिन्न कला संस्कृति र रहनसहनले पनि पर्यटककाे मन तान्छ र उनीहरूकाे राेजाइमा नेपाल घुम्नलायक ठाउँ बन्छ । हाम्रा प्राकृतिक सौन्दर्यले पर्यटकहरूका लागि प्रमुख आकर्षणको रूपमा काम गर्न सक्छन् ।
कतिपय विदेशीहरू पदयात्रा गर्न आउँछन् भने कतिपय पर्यटकहरू सगरमाथा आराेहणका लागि आउँछन् । यसरी पर्यटकहरू नेपालमा आउँदा नेपालकाे आर्थिक अवस्था पनि राम्राे हुन्छ । यसरी देशमा पर्यटनका क्षेत्रमा विकास र बिस्तार गर्दै लैजानुपर्छ । धेरै जसाे पर्यटनका क्षेत्रमा सुविधाकाे कमी छ । यातायात लगायत उनीहरूले खाेजेका सुविधा दिन सक्ने हाे भने नेपालमा पक्कै पनि पर्यटककाे सङ्ख्या बढ्छने छ र पर्यटकको वृद्धिले हाम्रो अर्थतन्त्रलाई बलियाे बनाउने छ।

Climate change is the change in the weather and temperature and it is one of the major problems now in the modern world. The people and the planet are struggling from the effects of climate change. Many of the plants and organisms in the earth are facing difficulties in surviving. Due to this behavior of nature, the economy is being affected. The world is experiencing more rainfall in certain spots and less in others. From the irregular rainfall, the temperature of places can vary. The production of raw materials is difficult due to these factors. This is why the agricultural sector is facing a lot of difficulty all around the world. The production of the raw materials and the item itself is more expensive because the farmers that produce the raw materials have a hard time producing the raw materials due to the effects of climate change. Since climate change can bring in heavier rainfall than expected, natural disasters like flood, landslide, glaciers landslide etc are fairly common.

Natural disasters can affect the economy greatly due to loss of property, loss of human resource, loss of livestock etc. People's health can also be affected by climate change if not careful. This can cause many diseases and make human’s life difficult. For example the places where there has been really heavy rainfall, people can have various water borne diseases and where there has not been enough rainfall people can experience impure water resulting in many diseases. This can directly affect the limited human resources that are available in those places. Most of the income in Nepal is being generated from tourism. The national tourism is dependent mostly on the weather of our country. In the tourism sector, Nepal normally welcomes around two hundred thousand to six hundred thousand tourists. The tourists are here for the natural beauty and due to climate change the natural beauty is being deteriorated. This can greatly impact the economy of our country. There are many ways to control climate change. The most commonly known way to control climate change is controlling the greenhouse effect seen on the earth. This can be done by using renewable sources of energy. This is proven to help in the reduction of greenhouse gasses. Climate controlled environment chambers are used by the modern agricultural sector experts to help minimize the effects seen on agriculture. This can be a great solution but they are quite expensive. Nowadays the climate is being more and more impactful on our lives due to our living habits. Many people now have gasoline powered cars as a luxury. However this can be both harmful for the environment  and the economy because of import taxes. Natural vegetation is one of the most important assets of human life. 90% of the world is dependent on natural vegetation directly or indirectly. Hence controlling the natural vegetation according to how it was meant to be can help the humans greatly and the economy as well.

Therefore these are the reasons and the possible solutions of climate change affecting the economy.
 

हाम्रो दु:ख बुझिदिने 
हाम्रो पीडा सुनिदिने  
सँगालेका मनभित्रका पीडा
माला जस्तै उनीदिने
काे हाेला र खै ?

जिउमा लगाउने लुगा  छैन, 
भाेकमा खाने गाँस  छैन, 
वर्षाकाे झरीमा पनि बास छैन ।
भविष्यकाे कुनै आश छैन
याे बुझिदिने काे हाेला र खै ?

दिनभरि सडक पेटीको बास छ
रात परेपछि साथमा खुला आकाश  छ ।
हामी जस्ता गरिबको उद्धार कहिले हुने ?
हामी जस्ता असहायकाे सहारा काे हुने ?

सडक हाम्रो मझेरी हो आकाश हाम्रो छानाे, 
पढ्न लेख्न क्यै पाइएन अधिकार के जानू ?
हामी पनि सन्तान हौँ यही देशका जान, 
हामीले पनि पाउनुपर्छ, अधिकार मान। 

I would enjoy my days laughing;
But the world took my smile away-
I would make everyone happy;
But the world took everyone away…
I would be an optimist person;
But the world took my positivity away-
I would love to live everyday;
But the world took my life away…
I would heal my wounds by myself;
But the world took my medicine away-
I would become stronger and mightier;
But the world took my strength away…
I would love my close ones;
But the world took my loved ones away-
In this cruel world of war, I wanted to dodge the bullet;
But the world took my courage away…

एउटा मानिसकाे जीवनमा आफ्नो बाल्यकाल वा जीवनको उत्कृष्ट पलको बारेमा केही सम्झनाहरू हुन्छन् । म एक विद्यार्थी भइरहँदा मसँग धेरै सम्झनाहरू छन् जुन मेरो सबैभन्दा राम्रो पल वा जीवनमा सम्झन लायक क्षणहरू जुन फेरि कहिल्यै फर्केर पक्कै आउँदैनन् । 
मलाई मेरो गाउँ घुम्न मन लाग्छ। म मेरो गाउँ काभ्रेपलाञ्चोककाे ढुङ्गखर्कमा जन्मिएँ । मेरो बाल्यकाल मेरो गाउँमा बित्यो । भक्तपुर जिल्लामा सर्दा म करिब ४ वर्षको थिएँ र ४–५ महिनापछि काठमाडौँ, चाबहिल गएर बस्न थाल्यौँ । सुरुमा म मेरो गाउँलाई असाध्यै सम्झिने गर्थे जसरी मैले मेरा साथीहरूसँग खेल्थेँ। जब म गाउँमा थिएँ तब म स्कुल छाेडेर गरेर साथीहरूसँग खेल्न जान्थेँ । म मेरा साथीहरूसँग हुँदा मलाई उनीहरूसँग खेल्न मन पर्थ्यो । तिनीहरूमध्ये मेरो सबैभन्दा मिल्ने साथीको नाम सुलक्ष थियो । जसलाई सन्ढे  पनि भन्थ्याैँ  । जुन उसको उपनाम थियो।

आजकल सुलक्ष मसँग सम्पर्क विहीन छ तर मसँग मित्रताको सम्झना ताजै छ । जुन मैले धेरै याद गरेको छु । म भगवानसँग प्रार्थना गर्छु कि मलाई मेराे साथीसँग सम्पर्क गराइदिनुहाेस् । हामी जहाँ भए पनि र परिस्थिति जस्तोसुकै भए पनि यो सम्झनाले मलाई सधैँ उसको याद दिलाइरहन्छ ।

म नयाँ सहरमा आएपछि साथीहरू नभएको एउटा सानो केटाे स्कुल जान थाले । मलाई स्कुल कहिल्यै मन परेन किनकि म यसलाई धेरै घृणा गर्थे । सुरु सरुमा सकेसम्म स्कुल नजाने धेरै बहाना बनाउँथे । बिस्तारै समय बित्दै गयो । मैले पढाइमा मात्र ध्यान दिन थालेँ । विद्यालय गएको अर्को वर्षदेखि म कक्षामा प्रथम हुन थालेको थिएँ । यो कक्षा २ सम्मको समय थियो । केही कारणले गर्दा मैले कक्षा ३ बाट मेरो स्कुल परिवर्तन गरेँ । 
म अर्को विद्यालय गएपछि राम्रा साथीहरू पाएँ । नयाँ साथीहरूले मलाई हरेक कुरामा सहयोग गर्थे। मेरो विद्यालय जीवन एकदम राम्ररी बितेको थियो । मेरो सबैभन्दा राम्रो विद्यालयको समय कक्षा १० को थियो । म १० कक्षमा पुगेपछि मात्र मैले घरबाट राम्ररी निस्किन पाएको थिएँ । यो बेला म साथीहरूसँग भ्रमण गएको थिएँ । जुन कुरा मैले कहिले पनि बिर्सिन सक्दिनँ । बिस्तारै दिनहरू बित्दै गए अनि १० कक्षा पनि पास गरियो । 
यी सबै कुरा मेरो मनमा खेलिरहेको छ । मलाई आफ्नो साथीको सम्झना पनि आइरहेको छ। मलाई मेरो गाँउको पनि सम्झना आइरहेको छ । मलाई यी शब्द लेखिरहँदा पनि मलाई मेरा साथी,गाउँ र १० कक्षाको सम्झना मेरो आखाँ वरिपरि  नाचिरहेका छन्, झल्किरहेका छन् ।

Verses go silent
not a word to be heard. 
The choir of the group turns down 
remaining bodies over the crowd.
Blood all over.. 
death at dawn. 
No regret for its visit
nor a proper farewell for it’s gone.
Meant to be home tomorrow night
cuddling the little ones 
with the grown ups by his side 
celebrating his return from this tide.
But the ship he took,
wasn't strong enough to bear it all 
when saw the others on the ground
He couldn't stand along
Remembering all he could grab the memories of his birth
till the day with the little ones on his lap 
and to this day in this trap
Not lying to himself, 
praying for his dear ones 
sheds a drop of tear 
for he bids the last goodbye.
