COLLEEN HOOVER BOOKS - PEAK OF ROMANCE LITERATURE?
- Anushka Basnet - 24011, Grade ... 06 September, 2022

Colleen Hoover is an author known for her books written in the romance genre. She is exceptionally popular among young adults and teens. Her popularity is mostly seen in the famous social media app TikTok. Her book “IT ENDS WITH US '' was a huge hit. Personally, I was very intrigued with the hype surrounding Colleen Hoover back. Hearing her name and seeing her books in every bookstore I went and all over my social media really grabbed my interest. I felt the need to read her books. It was as if her books were a must read.  However popular she and her books might be, her works were not worth the hype in my opinion. I read ‘It ends with us’ last year right when it was surfacing the internet with great deal of popularity. The book talked about domestic abuse, jealousy and mental illnesses as the themes with romance as the main genre. The points of discussions in the book were great but everything else was average for me. It was disappointing to be honest but overall it was an okay-ish read. It was overhyped, yes, but it still was a good read. 
Then I read another of her works “Ugly Love”. it was also very much in hype. I didnt have any great expectations from the book as i was already disappointed by her previous work. But i got disappointed even with low expectations.  Reading the book, I noticed some very disturbing plots. The male lead once used to be in love with his step sister and had a kid with her. That single line says a lot about the book. There were also many confusing paragraphs. There was overuse of NSFW content and unwanted arrogance in male lead. I can easily add this book to my least favorite books of all times. 
One thing I noticed in Hoover’s books was that she almost always included the pregnancy trope, the male lead treating the female lead like garbage then having a mysterious overnight personality upgrade and then a sudden happy ever after ending. The anger issues and unwanted jealousy with undiagnosed bipolar in male leads in Colleen Hoover books are always present. 
I personally like mystery thrillers alot and prefer it over romance books. So i got another book recommendation “Verity”. Another of Colleen Hoovers’ books. I was suggested this by my friend. I read some reviews online and some people thought it was a great thriller book. Some said it was far better than her other works. So i gave it a try. There were many plot holes and honestly I felt like reading it was a waste of my time. 
Personally I don't think Colleen Hoover’s books are worth reading. They have hidden misogyny and many confusing sentences. I would not recommend her books to anyone. They are not the peak of romance literature. This is nothing against Colleen Hoover or anyone who enjoys her works. I personally would not be reading her books and would also not recommend it to anyone. Her writing consists of a lot of first person narration, which may be interesting to some but for me it reminds me of wattpad stories. I don't like her works and I don't discourage anyone from reading her works but for me I don't think I will ever read her works again.

हार र जित
- Sashwat Paudel - 23038, Grade ... 06 September, 2022

मेरो लागि जीवनमा
हार र जित, दुवै समान छन् । 
जित  विजय  प्राप्त गर्नु 
विजय केवल  एउटा भ्रम मात्र  हो ।

यसले केवल क्षणिक खुसी दिलाउँछ,
जितले हर्ष  र आनन्द प्रदान गर्छ । 
तर त्यस  सँगसँगै अल्छी भएर बस्न सिकाउँछ,  
तर, जितले मात्तिन  सिकाउँछ ।


हार पराजित  हुनु, 
पराजित हुने भनेको  मेरो लागि उपहारसरह हो  । 
हार नै नभए जित्नुको के उद्देश्य ? 
हारले हामीलाई भुइँतिर लडाउँछ, 
तर लडेको  बेला  कसरी उठ्ने भनेर पनि सिकाउँछ ।
हारले  जित प्राप्त गर्नका लागि  तयार गर्छ,
हारले जीवनमा महत्त्वपूर्ण  पाठ सिकाउँछ ।


तर, मेरो लागि
जित भनेको विजयी  हुनु कदापी हाेइन  ।
मेरो लागि जित्नु भनेको प्रतियोगितामा  
प्रथम  भेनर घोषित  हुनु हाेइन  ।

प्रमाणपत्र र पदक पाउने  मेरो सोच पनि छैन  ।
मेरो लागि जित्नु / विजयी  हुनु भनेको, 
ती प्रतियोगिताबाट अनुभव  बटुलेर,  
पहिलेभन्दा राम्रो  बन्नु हो ।

पहिलेभन्दा  योग्य, पहिलेभन्दा सक्षम बन्नु हो
हिजोभन्दा अझै कुशल हुने 
सुनौलो मौका पाउनु  हो  ।
त्यसैले मेरो जीवनमा
हार र जित दुवै समान छन् ।

काठमाडौँको अवस्था
- Aaditya Sapkota - 23001, Grad ... 02 September, 2022

काठमाडौँ नेपालको राजधानी हो । यहाँ हरेक कुराकाे सुविधा छ । मानिसलाई सुविधा भए पनि यहाँकाे जीवन निकै व्यस्त र चुनाैतिपूर्ण छ । काठमाडौँको सुन्दरताले पर्यटकहरूको आँखामा धुलो छर्किएको छ । यहाँ  विभिन्न थरीका मन्दिर, गुम्बा आदि धार्मिक स्थलहरू छन् । यिनै कारणले पनि पर्यटकहरू नेपालमा आउँछन्  तर यी कुराहरू व्यवस्थित छैनन्  । 

धेरै समय पहिले काठमाडौँमा भएको वाग्मती नदी स्वच्छ र सफा नदी थियाे रे । वाग्मतीमा मानिसहरू पहिले पौडी खेल्न जान्थे रे । त्यहाँको पानी पनि खान्थे रे । तर अहिले फोहोरको गतिलो व्यवस्थापन नभएर वाग्मती  एकदम फोहोर भएको छ । अहिले सबै फोहोरहरू वाग्मतीमा फाल्ने गर्छन् । वाग्मती फोहोर भएका कारण अहिले दिनप्रतिदिन काठमाडौँमा खानेपानीको समस्या बढ्दै गइरहेकाे छ  । मानिसकाे जनसङ्ख्या बढ्दाे छ । बढ्दाे जनसङ्ख्यालाई पुग्ने पानी भने छैन । मानिसहरूको दिनदिनै स्वच्छ पानी खान नपाएर राेगी हुँदै गएका छन् । यहाँ धनीहरूको सङ्ख्याभन्दा बढी गरिबहरूकाे सङ्ख्या धेरै हाेला । काठमाडौँको जनसङ्ख्या अब यहाँकाे जमिनले धान्नेभन्दा धेरै माथि पुगिसकेको छ । पहिलेका खेलमैदान, खेत सबै अहिले घरहरू बनेर कुनै पनि ठाउँ खाली छैन  ।  

देशकाे मुख्य राजधानी भएर पनि यहाँ धेरै सडकहरूकाे अवस्था बिग्रेकाे छ । सडकमा पानी जमेको हुन्छ भने कतिपय बाटोहरू धुलाम्य छन्  ।  यसैकारण पनि प्रदूषण  बढ्दाे मात्रामा छ ।  यही प्रदूषणका कारण यहाँ बस्ने मानिसहरूको स्वास्थ्य एकदमै बिग्रिएको छ । व्यवस्थित सहरीकरण नहुनाले ट्राफिक जामकाे अत्यधिक समस्या छ । कुनै ठाउँमा भनेकाे समयमा पुग्न कठिन छ । काठमाडाैँ राजधानी भएर पनि याे स्वच्छ र सफा भने हुन सकेकाे छैन ।

Are We Trapped?
- Siddhartha Pandey - 24056, Gr ... 02 September, 2022

In today’s modern time, do you think you are proceeding according to your own free will? Are you there, reading this article because you wished to?
If we take a good look around, all we see is people struggling and working day in and day out for money; the main asset that takes you to your start line of whatever you want to pursue. But people spend their entire lives just grinding to get hold of that asset and instead of stepping into the start line after they have earned enough, it is already time to step out of life itself. This cycle of the linear proceeding where people just come here, work hard, and leave, is quite sickening to look at. There are other variations where one may not have had to struggle, or it was an easy way to the start line, or they couldn’t even make it to the start line. But my question is, from when did it become normal to chase after money for your entire life, and completely forget about that start line that awaits?
People have their own interests, things that they are absolutely mesmerized by; things that they want to learn deeply about- things that they want to spend their entire lives with. One may want to become a dancer and keep indulging in any occupation related to it their entire lives. Another may want to become a researcher of human psychology and keep meeting new people and keep helping them as long as he can. Having taken birth into this world, every person has something they want to dedicate their lives to. But these days people don’t even discover that special thing of theirs, either they discard it way too soon without even giving it a chance, all because their “circumstance” doesn’t let them. “The world is a cruel place that doesn’t provide for everybody.” People make do with just that and then proceed to an immensely monotonous life of no meaning. Saying that it isn’t possible, saying there are other things I need to take care of, I have responsibilities; the most hilarious one I know is- “I don’t have time for my interests”, are some of the many ropes that people are tied to. I agree that these bindings are unavoidable in today’s age where survival itself has become hard for people that aren’t rich. Can you imagine? Humanity progressed from the very beginning so as to make survival easy and comfortable but here we are again, trapped in the pit that we dug ourselves.
If we take a recap of all of human existence, all we’ve done is build this cage where one has nothing to think about; just a bland life to circle around. But there are these rare people who say that earning money is easy and have reached the start line on time and are exploring and enjoying what lies beyond it. They’ve got out of the sick trap that holds everybody down. They are living. What about you?

घाम
- Bipan Sajwal - 24016, Grade X ... 01 September, 2022

झुल्क्याे घाम पहेँलाे सुन्दर मुहार देखाई,
उज्यालाे छरेर पाखाकाे हिमाल सेकाई । 
सुनजस्ताे चम्किलाे प्राकृतिक रतन
चाहेर सक्दैन गर्न कसैले परिवर्तन ।

हामीलाई उज्यालाे न्यानाे दिएर उत्साह, 
वाह वाह साच्चै घाम कति निःस्वार्थी । 
छर्छ प्रकाश दिन्छ ऊर्जा गरिब धनी नभनी,
आह कति प्याराे घाम पुग्छ सबै ठाम ।

जब लाग्छ घाम गुँडबाट निस्कन्छन् बचेरा,
अनि उड्न थाल्छन् बादललाई आकाश मानी। 
कुरी बस्छन् फलफूल घाम कहिले आउने,
आनन्दकाे माैसम मानी फुल्छन् फूलहरू ।

घामपानीले चलेकाे छ उज्यालाेले बलेकाे छ, 
याे प्रकृति अनाैठाे छ घामपानीले फलेकाे छ । 
प्याराे सबकाे घाम अनि साथै चिसाे पनि,
घामकै कारण रहेकाे छ संसार ताताे बनी ।

Problem of Health sector in Nepal
- Yunil Ghimire - 24050, Grade ... 31 August, 2022

Nepal is developing day by day, but still quite slowly compared to most of the countries in the world. Health sector is the most important sector that still needs to be developed properly here in Nepal. Because of the unequal distribution of Nepal’s population and developmental works, the health sector is quite messed up. Some of the places don't have a single health post while some places have more than needed.

Most of the health posts, hospitals are built in the cities of Nepal and the people who are living in villages are still waiting for small health posts to be built. There are around 30 million people living in Nepal and most of the people do not get required health check ups due to lack of hospitals in the rural and village areas. The city's area keeps on getting developed while the villages of Nepal are lacking behind the technology. In order to obtain the basic needs people from the corners of Nepal came to the cities such as Kathmandu, Pokhara. The people who have been diagnosed with some sort of diseases won’t be able to get treated if there is no health post/hospital in the village. The cities keep on getting over populated and in case of pandemics the beds of the hospitals get booked which results in the death of more people. This certain thing happened during the time of COVID. Most of the people were in Kathmandu to gain basic needs but due to overpopulation, the COVID patients had an only option to stay in their own house because most of the hospitals were packed.

Also overpopulation brings impacts to the environment because more products being made out of plastics are being used. This leads to pollution and the birth of various diseases. Most of the people from villages or rural areas do not know how to take care of their body. Even though they are suffering from various kinds of disease they will just ignore it until and unless it starts to harm them and cause pain to their body. At that time it already became late and some people passed away before getting any treatment. It is also our duty to inform people from rural areas about health education. Also, I think that in order to develop our country faster at first it is important for us to develop the health sector first and fast. So that the people of our country will be able to get good health check ups and have a great life.

भ्रष्टाचार
- Neharika Panta - 23028, Grade ... 31 August, 2022

भ्रष्टाचारलाई शब्दमा परिभाषित गर्न सकिदाे रहेनछ,
यसको त अनुहार  नै फोहोर रहेछ । 
म पक्का छु कि भ्रष्ट व्यक्तिहरूलाई,
शान्त निन्द्रा कहिल्यै मिल्दैन त्यसलाई ।

म पक्का छु, कि भ्रष्ट व्यक्तिलाई
समाजबाट इज्जत कहिल्यै मिल्दैन । 
म पक्का छु, कि भ्रष्ट व्यक्तिलाई,
जीवनमा आत्मसन्तुष्टि कहिल्यै मिल्दैन ।

सबलाई थाहा छ यसको असर,
र पनि राख्दैनन् गर्न कुनै कसर । 
त्यसो भए किन गर्छन् भ्रष्टाचार,
यो त एक पेसा जस्तै भएको छ ।

यो एक महामारी जस्तै फैलिरहेको छ,
घुस लिने दिनेको बिमारी फैलिरहेको छ । 
लटु र झुटको जाल बुनिएको छ,
भ्रष्टाचारीलेआफ्नो घर भर्दै छ ।

किनकि 
उसले भ्रष्टाचार सिकेको छ,
उसले अग्रजबाट देखेकाे छ। 
भ्रष्टाचार बढ्यो यहाँ गाड्यो जरा बेसरी,
यो जकडिएको जरालाई निर्मूल पार्ने अब कसरी ?

Phishing
- Saurav Phuyal - 24035, Grade ... 29 August, 2022

We all are aware about hacking these days. As technology is developing the risk of getting hacked is also increasing. Hacking can be done in many ways and Phishing is one of them. It is the process of sending messages to victims to trick them and get their personal details including passwords, credit card information, etc.

To perform this hacking, at first hackers make some fake websites that look similar to the original website of social media, online payment, etc and then use social engineering techniques to send messages to victims in such a way that victims are compelled to click on the link to the fake website attached to the message. Once victims click on the link they will be redirected to fake websites created by hackers that look very similar to the original one. Then victims login on the fake website after which every information filled in form on the fake website including password is sent to the hacker. This is how hacking is performed through phishing. We can easily find out if the website is fake or real, we should always visit valid links like https://www.facebook.com, https://www.youtube.com etc. These are most commonly used websites and their domain is known by everyone but if you don’t know the domain of the website then you can always see if the website is secured or not. If there  is https then we can call it secure and if there is only (http) without (s) then we call it an insecure website. There is a high risk of getting hacked in http or insecure websites. Website developers can always fix this issue by adding SSL certificates to the website so that their website visitors feel secure. Hacking is often called illegal in many countries but this can be performed under some circumstances with permission. So how do you get into phishing links?, well you may get mails from hackers pretending to be service provider of different organizations like facebook, paypal, your bank, etc asking you to “reset your password”, “you account is at high risk protect your account”, or even give you different offers that make you to expose your personal information on their fake websites. But sometimes you may get such mails from real website managers so make sure to visit that link and then check the link. Phishing cannot be performed just by visiting the link, You have to enter data and submit it to successfully get hacked. There is another method of testing if the website is real or fake, you can simply enter invalid or wrong information in the login section of the website and try logging in, if you get an error saying incorrect password or other similar errors then you are good to go. But if you don’t get any error and get redirected to other websites then get to know that the website is fake and someone is trying to hack your account. It may not always be the login credentials, sometimes hackers may try to gain other personal details also. Sometimes connecting to Free WIFI in public places can be vulnerable as hackers may be monitoring your device traffic so you should always use VPN (Virtual Private Network) while connecting to such networks. VPN’s can sometimes bypass the captive portal also. Captive Portal is a prompt that you get while connecting to some networks asking to sign in to the network and this sign in page can also be a fake Phishing site so make sure to use wrong information first or use the VPN while using Free Public WIFI.

Overall, Phishing is not a very legit way of hacking but can be serious if someone becomes successful in performing this attack. So make sure you always check the link, secure/insecure website and other things mentioned above. And if you are a hacker then sorry I exposed your method of hacking. Now you all are aware and protected from Phishing Attacks.

साइबर क्राइम'
- Kriti Nepal - 24022, Grade XI ... 26 August, 2022

साइबर क्राइम भनेको इन्टरनेट सञ्जालकाे माध्यमबाट ठगी, चोरी, ह्याकिङ, गोपनियताको उल्लङ्घन आदि जस्ता गैरकानुनी कार्य भन्ने बुझिन्छ । अहिलेको समयमा यसबारे लगभग सबैलाई केही हदसम्म थाहा हुनुपर्छ । साइबर अपराधलाई कम्प्युटर क्राइम पनि भनिन्छ । वर्तमान युगमा मानिसहरूमाझ इन्टरनेटकाे पहुँच बढ्दै गएका कारण साइबर क्राइम पनि बढिरहेको छ । साइबर अपराधले कसैको पेसागत व्यवासाय, सेवा, आर्थिक क्षेत्र, पारिवारिक तथा सामाजिक जीवनलाई समेत हानि पुर्‍याउन सक्छ । डिजिटल डाटा उपलब्ध भएमा जुनसुकै ठाउँमा साइबर अपराध हुन सक्छ । अनलाइन साइबर अपराध गर्ने व्यक्ति वा समूहलाई साइबर अपराधी भनिन्छ । हाल साइबर अपराधबाट साेझासाझा नागरिकले निकै सास्ती बेहाेर्नु परेकाे छ । यसकै कारण कति मानिसकाे मृत्यु भएकाे छ भने कतिले आर्थिक नाेक्सानी पनि बेहाेर्नु परेकाे छ ।अत: यसबाट बच्न विभिन्न उपायहरू अपनाउन सकिन्छः
आफ्ना पासवर्डहरू सुरक्षित र बलियो बनाउने: अक्षर, सङ्ख्या र विशेष क्यारेक्टरहरू प्रयोग गरी आफ्नो पासवर्ड जटिल बनाउने ताकि अरूले यसलाई अनुमान गर्न नसकुन्।
कम्प्युटर सफ्टवेयर सधैँ अपडेट राख्ने: नयाँ सुरक्षा सफ्टवेयर भएकाले कम्प्युटरलाई धेरै भाइरस र अनलाइन खतराहरूबाट जोगाउन मद्दत गर्छ।
ससाना बालबालिका तथा नयाँ प्रयाेग कर्ताहरूलाई इन्टरनेटमा कसरी काम गर्ने भनेर सिकाउने अनि उनीहरूलाई इन्टरनेटको फाइदा र बेफाइदाहरूबारे जानकारी गराउने ।

समाजिक सञ्जालमा व्यक्तिगत पहिचान हुने जन्ममिति र बस्ने ठाउँ जस्ता जानकारीमूलक सूचना  समावेश गरियो भने यसले अपराधीहरूलाई विभिन्न तथ्याङ्कहरू चोर्न मद्दत गर्दछ ।
आफ्नाे डिभाइस प्रयाेगपछि सधैँ आफ्नाे एकाउन्ट अफ गर्ने: यदि कम्प्युटर प्रयोग गरिसकेपछि लग अफ गरियाे भने निजी जानकारी थाह पाउन सक्दैनन् ।
असुरक्षित लिङ्क वा वेबसाइटहरू नखोल्ने: साइबर अपराधीहरूले ट्वीट, पोष्ट आदिमार्फत उत्पादनहरूको विभिन्न नक्कली विज्ञापनहरू पठाउँछन् । यदि त्यो विज्ञापन अलिकति शङ्कास्पद देखिन्छ भने यसलाई वास्ता नगर्ने
साइबर कानुनले साइबर अपराधलाई नियन्त्रण गर्ने काम गर्छ । नेपाल सरकारले ‘द इलेक्ट्रोनिक ट्रान्जेक्सन एन्ड डिजिटल सिग्नेचर ऐन–अर्डिनन्स’ नामक चर्चित साइबर कानुन पारित गरेको छ । यसले इन्टरनेट र कुनै पनि अनलाइन प्लेटफर्मका प्रमुख मुद्दाहरूमा निगरानी राख्ने काम गर्छ । यसले मुख्यतया साइबर अपराधसँग सम्बन्धित मुद्दाहरू हेर्ने काम गर्दछ ।
