Animal Testing Should be Banned
- Aarambha Aryal - 24003, Grade ... 04 November, 2022

The use of animals to study the advancement of diseases is known as “Animal Testing”. This practice is becoming more and more common as time moves on. In my opinion, animal testing should be abolished completely and should be illegal. Animals are forced to intake harmful chemicals and become victims of different surgeries. They are also deprived of food and water and are given wounds to understand the healing procedure. They also have different wires implanted in their brains. They have to undergo different torture methods. After doing these procedures, they are dumped into the streets without any hesitation. There are different other alternatives methods that can substitute animal testing like tests done in human cell or tissues. In the current time, animal testing is just a cruel way of doing things. We should also take into consideration that animals are different from us humans which also makes the testing unethical. The medicines, drugs that pass animal testing cannot be 100% safe. I would also like to mention that there is huge demand for products that aren’t animal tested. Animals are also poor test subjects and they can’t be trusted in long term effects of medicines. If animal testing is done in an incorrect manner, different diseases and viruses can take place leading to an epidemic and pandemic.
While animal testing can have some pros like contributing to the cure of dreadful diseases, ensuring the safety of vaccines etc. It should be highly discouraged. Doctors and scientists should find methods of cure that do not involve testing in animals. Also, if animals are tested for the cure of every new disease or virus that comes around, there won’t be any race in the world except humans. Every animal species will be extinct. Just because we are the most superior and intelligent beings of the world doesn’t mean we can violate the lives of animals.  Medical progressions that have been achieved via animal testing could also be achieved without harming animals and making them as test subjects. We should understand that animals are also living beings and they have lives that they need to live. The success of animal testing is not equivalent to human safety. We do not have the rights to harm them or treat them as slaves or make them lab subjects. Animals cannot communicate with us human beings, with that being said, it is not ethical for human beings to torture and perform tests on them. We can discourage animal testing by educating people about the harms of it and through donation. Animal testing is an inhuman activity and should be prohibited in every nook and corner of the world.

दाजुभाइ
- Simone Shree Pathak - 24042, ... 03 November, 2022

सानै उमेरमा आफ्ना आमाबुवा गुमएको रमेशको यो संसारमा अरू कोही बाँकी थिएनन् । ऊ एउटा साहुकाेको घरमा काम गरेर बस्थ्यो । आफ्नो उमेर धेरै नभए पनि रमेशले धेरै सङ्घर्ष र दु:ख गरेर आफ्नो पेट पाल्नुपर्थ्यो । रमेशको घरमा उसकै उमेरको एउटा केटाे बस्थ्यो । त्यो केटाे रमेशले काम गर्ने घरको मालिकको छोरा थियो । उसकाे नाम उत्सव थियाे । उत्सव र रमेश दुई फरक संसारमा बस्थे । ती दुईबिच केही समानता थिए भने धेरै भिन्नता थिए । ठुलो घरको मालिकको छोरा उत्सव र त्यो घरको सबै काम गर्ने रमेश घरकाे कामदार । रमेशलाई उनीहरूको जीवन एकदम फरक लाग्थ्यो र रमेशलाई उत्सवको जीवन देखेर इर्ष्या लाग्थ्याे । 
एक दिन रमशले घरकाे तल आँगन सफा गरिरहेकाे बेला उसले एउटा मान्छे राेइरहेकाे आवाज सुन्छ । के भयाे भनेर हेर्न जान्छ । उत्सव त्यहाँ आँगनमा रहेछ । रमश उत्सव राेएकाे देखेर छक्क पर्छ । ऊ तल जान्छ तर उत्सव रमशलाई देखेर भाग्छ । अर्काे दिन पनि रमशलाई उत्सवले घरभित्र चिच्याइरहेकाे सुन्छ। आफ्नो काम सबै सकेर उत्सवलाई भेट्न जाने बेला रमेशले उत्सवको आँखा निलो भएको देख्छ । उत्सवलाई किन आँखा निलाे भएकाे भनेर साेध्छ । उसले केही हाेइन भनी आफ्नो कोठातिर लाग्छ । तर रमेशलाई थाहा थियो उसलाई के भएकाे छ भनेर ।  रमेश उत्सवकाे कोठामा भेट्न जान्छ । उसलाई साेध्न खाेज्छ । उत्सवले केही हाेइन रमेशलाई भगाउन खोज्छ ।  रमेशले धेरै अनुराेध गरेपछि अब अति भइसक्याे भन्दै उत्सवले सत्य कुरा उसलाई भन्छ । उसकाे आँखा निलो हुनुको कारण उसकै आमबाबु रहेछन् । वास्तवमा उत्सव साैतेलाे छाेराे रहेछ । उनीहरूले उसलाई देखावटी माया मात्र गर्दा रहेछन् । उसलाई दिनहुँ यातना दिने काम मात्र गर्दा रहेछन् । याे सबै कुरा रमेशलाई उसले सुनायाे । रमेशले यो कुरा थाहा पाएपछि उसलाई उसका आमाबावुप्रति घृणा लाग्न थाल्याे र उसका आमाबावुलाई मुद्दा हालिदिने कुरा उत्सवलाई सुनायाे । सुरुमा रमेशकाे कुरा सुनेर उत्सव डराउँछ तर पछि  ऊ पनि याे कुरामा सहमत हुन्छ । मुद्दाकाे फैसला उत्सवकाे पक्षमा हुन्छ । ऊ आफ्ना आमाबावुसँग नबसी अलग बस्ने भन्छ । उत्सवका लागि अदालतले छुट्याएकाे सम्पत्ति केही रमेशलाई पनि दियाे । रमेश र उत्सव दुई दाजुभाइ भएर सुखसँग बस्न थाले ।

Procrastination
- Samriddha Raj Satyal - 24063, ... 02 November, 2022

"I'll do it tomorrow." Everyone has linked this phrase with themselves sometimes or maybe most of the time. Has this been a habit of human beings? Let’s explore in the following essay.
Procrastination, this has been a very common and a widely established habit of people. Procrastination is the action of delaying any tasks or not giving it much importance at that time by focusing on some other actions. Does this habit come along with birth? We all know that time is the most valuable and precious thing in the 21st era and one mustn't waste their time by procrastinating their works, I believe. As already written, we all have this human characteristic of procrastinating things in some ways and it is okay because we're humans but this thing is bad and dangerous when it happens oftenly and mostly every time or when it becomes a habit whenever we're assigned with tasks and now that's bad. Usually, slothful people develop this habit faster but it is not true everytime. Even teenagers develop this habit due to which consequences are faced up by them in so many points throughout their lives.
But how does one make procrastination their habit? Usually when people are over-bounded within luxury and comfort zones and are indulged so much with it, people start being careless and irresponsible which, let's say, is a symptom of procrastination. Slowly people start procrastinating things and it becomes a habit. But as mentioned above, teenagers too develop this habit and we must know the reason behind this. What I believe is that loads and loads of assignments and works cannot be handled by the teenagers and this leads them to procrastinating things. Slowly, they find it easier to delay their work and they develop this habit later. Now some might even say that though countries like the US and Canada do not give so much stress to teenagers but they still have the habit of procrastination. Now I will request such people to re-read this essay where there comes the topic of luxury and how it makes us procrastinate.
How dangerous is procrastination? Procrastination is very harmful for our brain and it affects our thinking ability. We tend to think about something and we quickly forget about it. This has been researched and proved too. Not only does it affect our mental health but also our physical health. As already clarified, lazy people mostly have this habit and it makes the people so lazy and obese which has a great impact in our physical health too.
Can we avoid procrastination? Yes of course, and it actually isn't that hard(says the one who procrastinates so much) but I am trying and let me share some of my tips to avoid procrastination. We must plan things accordingly and must learn the value of time. Also, we must not indulge too much in luxury as it makes us blunt. We must prioritize our work and work according to our plans. Through such ways, I believe that one can avoid procrastinating things.

मनको बह
- Yojana Gautam - 23068, Grade ... 02 November, 2022

 हो म  धेरै बोल्छु 
खुला मनले बोल्छु 
त्यसैले धेरै दोष थाेपरिन्छ
भए भरकाे रिस पाेखिन्छ ममाथि ।

झुट लुकाएर बोलेको भए
धेरैको प्यारो हुन्थे होला
साचो बोल्ने भएर नै
म धेरै दुःखी छु 
तर, दुःखमा नै सुख छ मलाई,
मेरो जीवनकाे  इच्छा पनि यही हो ।

अरूले के  सोच्छन् भन्दाभन्दै
अरूले के गर्छन् भन्दाभन्दै,
अरूकाे चिन्ता गर्दागर्दै मैले
धेरै समय खेर फालिसकेछु ।

कमजोर त छैन म,
तर,  किन एकान्तमा बसी  रोइरहेछु ? 
मेरा मनका घाउ मेटाउन
हराएका बेदना भेटाउन
म धित मरून्जेल  रोइरहेछु ।

प्रश्नै प्रश्नको बिचमा रहेको मेरो सोचले
मलाई आजकाल धेरै दुःख दिँदै छ। 
छिनभरमै  मेराे खुसी खाेसी लिन्छ,
किन हाे मलाई धेरै दुःख दिन्छ ।

के छ र जिन्दगी
- Kirtan Poudyal - 23024, Grade ... 31 October, 2022

मेरो जीवन देखेर मलाई  दिक्क लाग्थ्यो,
सबैको जीवन रमाइलो रैछ यस्तै लाग्थ्यो,
यस्तो होइन पो रेहेछ, भ्रममै सबै खुसी रहेछ,
सामाजिक सञ्जाल पाे सबकाे खुसी रहेछ ।

लगभग सबैको जीवन सबैकाे जस्तै हो,
साेचाइ मात्र फरक तर दैनिकी उस्तै हाे । 
अरूकाे जीवन रमाइलाे देख्ने मान्छकाे बानी हाे,
सानाे सानाे खुसीमा जाे रमाउन सक्छ, 
खासमा त्याे भाग्यमानी हाे ।

एलन मस्क पनि दिनदिनै रमाउँदैन साथी हाे,
जति कमाए पनि के छ र जिन्दगी,
तँछाड मछाड गरेर पनि के लानु पाे छ र ,
चिन्ता नगराैँ धेरै, एक दिन सबै जाने नै माथि हाे ।


जहिले रमाइलो हुने जीवन जीवन नै होइन,
आफ्नो जीवनबाट सन्तुष्ट कुनै मानिस छैन। 
सबै त्याग गरेको साधुले पनि मोक्ष खोज्छ,
सबै पुगी सरी हुँदा पनि मानिस किन दुःखी हुन्छ ।

Is Academic Validation Worth All The Stress?
- Kriti Nepal - 24022, Grade XI ... 31 October, 2022

Growing up in Asian households, we as a student are constantly nagged upon and advised to achieve straight A’s as the form of academic validation. Everyone has a dream of their own whether it be getting into a renowned college, fulfilling their dream job, making their parents proud and so on. Academic validation has become one of the most valid reasons for students to rely on inorder to prove their worth as a flourishing successful student and fill the void in their hearts. 
Some students can be a naturally academically gifted one whereas others might need to put twice the amount of effort in order to reach the same level of ranking. Academic validation might feel rewarding but it takes a heavy toll on the mind as well as the body. Not all students come at the same level of ranking in academic validation but the desire to feel validated remains the same. This causes the students to overwork and stress themselves only to self sabotage and get farther behind. The mentality of academic validation being the only option to success might become very toxic and suffocate the student that would normally perform average and could climb up the ranks with little effort with time. I personally believe that academic validation is important but not something that comes before prioritizing our mental and physical health. Academic validation might give the positive boost and self assurance but we also need to understand the fact that the mentality and standard we set for ourselves do not necessarily need to be as strict to improve and become successful in life.
Overcoming the difficulties along with little enjoyment and hard work shows the true essence of being a worthy student and not only academic validation. Hence, I believe that the students need to understand the fact that academic validation is important but the amount of stress that causes them to damage and collapse is not worth the reward they claim as “academic validation.”

सिकार पाे भएछ
- Diya Bajracharya - 23021, Gra ... 21 October, 2022

तोते बोलीले आमा !  आमा ! !
भन्दै बोलाउने गर्थ्यो ऊ, 
म बिना त सुत्नै सक्दैनथ्यो । 
साना साना कुरामा खुसी हुने
र बेला बेला रिसाउने  ऊ 
मेरो छोरो त आज ठुलो भएछ ।

पोलियो खान डराउने मेरो छोरो 
आजभोलि नशा लिने भइसकेछ  ।
एकछिन एक्लै बस्दा डराउने मेरो छोरो 
आजभोलि चार दिवारको कोठाभित्र 
खै, कसरी हाे रमाउँदाे रहेछ ।

मेरो मायामा के कमी भएछ उसलाई 
मभन्दा प्यारो त नशा लाग्न थालेछ 
म डाक्टर बन्छु है, भन्दै जिद्दी गर्थ्यो 
खै कसरी कुलतमा फसेछ ।

प्रश्न सोध्दै दिक्क पार्ने गर्थ्यो, 
अहिले उसको बोली सुन्न तड्पिनु परेको छ 
मेरो काखमा लुटुपुटु गर्ने मेरो छोरो आज 
खै कुन दुनियामा कता हराउन थालेछ  ।।

Power of Words
- Sayara Aryal - 23057, Grade X ... 21 October, 2022

Words can inspire, and words can destroy but what is really powerful about words ? What difference does it make in our daily life? Why are we not using this powerful weapon for our Advantage ? These questions may arise, and the only answer is a big Yes. Words are the real power that we have in our lives which can help us in being a superior whereas unwise use can demolish us at the bottom. It is true that every smile in the world comes with the prosperity of the world but a single smile is not just sufficient as living in this modern era is too tough. People have to go through various challenges, obstacles and difficulties which compels them to be pessimistic. Being in this traumatized situation we should be careful using words as words can have a huge impact on oneself or others too.

The emotions we feel, the activities we observe and the quality that we have to interact with everyone is all controlled by language, and language is an amalgamation of words. Smiles of people embellish a face whereas we all know that words judge the character of the person so the people speaking pessimistic will fend off others with their negativism. The words that come out from our mouth determine the happiness and unhappiness of the person. Words have the ability and power to heal, help, hurt and abase. In our hard times, rather than complaining, it is better to think positive. When we are unable to think so, words remain silent but when we are unable to think positive words don't remain silent which harms and humiliates us. We can observe that all the right words have a clear difference in our life compared to the other ones.

Once words have been voiced, they can't be taken back so using proper words can provide effective propulsion into your life. The words we speak can often help in selecting and fulfilling our future dreams. Words have a different kind of power in it as whatever it says, it helps to control and calm someone's emotion and helps seeing the matter from a different perspective. Thus, we must not ignore the fact that words have an impact on you and others. They express feelings and share knowledge which can change someone completely and inflame a spark in them.

मेरो पहिलो विद्यालय
- Chahat R.S. Rathour - 24018, ... 20 October, 2022

मेरो पहिलो विद्यालय पेनउड एकेडेमी हो । यो विद्यालय माध्यमिक विद्यालय हो । यहाँबाट नै मैले आफ्नाे शिक्षा सुरू गरेकाे हुँ । म तीन वर्षकाे हुँदा साे विद्यालयमा आएको थिएँ । मेरी एउटी चिनेकी दिदीले त्यही विद्यालयमा पढाउनुहुन्थ्यो । त्यसकारण मेरा बुबाआमाले मलाई सजिलो हुन्छ भनेर त्यस विद्यालयमा भर्ना गरिदिनुभएकाे थियाे । 
म त्यस विद्यालयमा भर्ना हुँदा अहिलेको प्रिन्सिपल हुनुहुँदैनथ्याे । म कक्षा ४ मा हुँदा अहिलेकाे प्रिन्सिपल आउनुभएकाे थियाे । मैले १३ वर्ष अध्ययन गरेकाे विद्यालयमा १३ वर्षमा मैले मेरा धेरै साथी भेटेँ । अहिले पहिलेका मेरा कुनै साथी छन् भने कुनै साथी छैनन् । धेरै लामाे  समय बिताएकाे हुँदा धेरै सम्झना मसँग छन् । कुनै रमाइला, कुनै एकदमै लोभलाग्दा त कुनै दुःखद लाग्दा यस्तै यस्तै । मेरा शिक्षकहरू कसैले मलाई बच्चादेखि ठुलो हुँदासम्म देख्नुभयाे । कसैले देख्नुभएन । जे हाेस् मेराे पेनवुडको अध्ययन एकदमै रमाइलो थियो । यो विद्यालयमा मलाई मेरै घरमा जस्तै भावना आउँथ्यो । सबै मिलनसार थिए । सुख-दुःख बाँड्थ्याैँ ।  यसरी बाल्यकालको जीवन र कक्षा १० सम्मकाे  अध्ययन यात्रा मैले पेनउडमा बिताएँ ।

पेनउड एकेडेमी धेरै ठुलो छैन । पेनउडमा एउटा बास्केटबल कोर्ट, ६ ओटा भवन, साना बच्चाहरुको लागि एउटा घाँस भएको मैदान र एउटा सानो चौताराे छ । प्रि-प्राइमरी लगायतका विद्यार्थीहरूको छुट्टै भवन छ । पेनउडमा कुनै समय प्रिन्सिपल सरले फुटसल मैदान र स्विमिङ पुल बनाउने भनेका थिए । तर मैले‌ १३ वर्ष त्यहाँ पढुन्जेल फुटसल मैदान र स्विमिङ पुल बनेन । त्यस विद्यालयमा खाना चाहिँ बिहानको लन्च मिठो हुन्थ्यो । खाजा चाहिँ लन्च जत्तिकाे हुँदैनथ्याे । शिक्षकहरू पनि धेरै जसो राम्रै  हुनुहुन्थ्याे । 
यसरी नै मेरो पहिलो विद्यालयको सुरुवात पेनउडबाट भएर अहिले कक्षा ११ मा सिफल स्कुलमा पढिरहेकाे छु ।  पेनउडमा पढ्दा  जतिसुकै कठिन परिस्थिति आए  पनि त्यसलाई परास्त गरी अघि बढ्न मैले सिकेकाे छु ।

खोजी हेरेँ
- Aswin Siwakoti - 23014, Grade ... 19 October, 2022

खोजी हेरेँ

संसारको सबै कुनामा खोजी हेरेँ
आकाशदेखि सागर तरी खोजी हेरेँ
तर भेटिन मैले त्यो . . . . . ।
यो मनले खोजेको शान्ति,
यो मनले खोजेको सन्तुष्टि
याे मनले खाेजेकाे आनन्द ।

मैले खाेजेका सबै कुरा त
केवल बोलीमा मात्रै सीमित रहेछन् ।
न त शान्ति नै पाएँ,
न त सन्तुष्टि नै पाएँ,
यसो नियाली हेरेँ,

जीवनकाे गाेरेटाेमा
उकाली ओरालीमा,
पाएँ निराशा र छटपटी
अस्तित्व त रहेछ त केवल झुटो,
यो जीवन पनि कति अनौठो
निराशाभित्र कति आशा लुकेका

त्यही झुटकाे खोजीमा हिँडी रहेको छु
हस्याङ्फस्याङ् गर्दै 
दिनरात, झरी नभनी, 
केवल बोलीमा मात्रै सीमित रहेछ, 
न त शान्ति नै पाएँ,
न त सन्तुष्टि नै पाएँ,
न त आनन्द नै पाएँ ।
