TEENAGE, STRESS and REDEMPTION
- Raghav Vaidhya - 24024, Grade ... 08 July, 2022

Teenage can simply be defined as the age between 13 and 19 years old. Each teenager must have proper knowledge about adolescence and the changes they go through during that period. They have to go through a lot of stress. So Family members have the most important role, and must ensure that children's are not on a path that can destroy their way of living.
A lot of teenagers face multiple problems in their daily life. One of the biggest problems faced by them is mental stress. Generally, teenagers are found to be interested in various activities like literature, philosophy, arts, music, sports, etc. They try their best to get themselves improved in their field of interest and some teenagers intend to practice it as a lifetime career. However, many guardians don’t let their children be involved in extra activities as a lifetime career and pressurize them to get involved in income generating fields like engineering, medical science, and commerce. That mental stress given by parents disturbs harmony among their family and their teenage child might experience anxiety. Some parents are so harsh that they force their child to study and over-expect during result day. In Nepal, many teenagers have committed suicide because they couldn’t get the results their parents wanted. Such mental stress turns into fear. Due to mental stress, some become an introvert while some gain a negative attitude too. Mental stress promotes brain drain as well. Many youths aged 18 and 19 have left Nepal and shifted themselves to foreign nations permanently because they find a stressful environment in Nepal. Other results of mental stress are apathy, barbarity, and depression.
It is natural that stress will come into everybody's life. Each and every teenager must be taught to avoid mental stress. Well-educated and experienced youths must make their parents aware of the importance of a child’s interest and their impact on their future life. Having unity among friends is one of the best ways to avoid such problems. Teenage is the best time to enjoy yourself with friends, family, and the closest ones. Teenage cannot be fun without teamwork, unity, and enjoyment. This does not mean that one should not focus on academic performance. Career and hard work must never be taken lightly. True hard-working teenagers with a strong future goal are strong enough to face multiple obstacles. For example, Cristiano Ronaldo’s interest was football and he always took it seriously while most of the children just kicked the ball around for fun. Despite being financially poor, he had heart surgery at the age of 15 which could’ve ended his entire sports career. Luckily, that surgery became successful and he gave more time to football. Cristiano Ronaldo is currently one of the most successful footballers on the planet because he tried his best to avoid mental stress and didn’t stop working for his goal in life.
Thus, teenagers must be serious about their future. True hardworking ones are always good enough to fight against obstacles in life as they take their decision seriously by avoiding little mental stress.

सपना
- Bidhan Sen Oli - 24006, Grade ... 07 July, 2022

सपना भनेको क हो ? हामीले सपना किन देख्छौँ ? सपना भनेको सुतिरहेको बेला हामीले देख्ने विचारहरू,हुन् ।  फरक मानिसले फरक सपनाहरू देख्छन् । कसैले हरेक दिन राम्रो सपना देख्ला भने कसैले हरेक दिन नराम्रो सपना । हामी राति सुत्दा हामीले दिनभरि गरेका कार्यहरूले नै हाम्रो सपना निर्धारण गर्छ । सबै जनाको दैनिक जीवन राम्रो हुँदैन, सुख हुँदैन, शान्त हुँदैन। धेरैजसाे मानिसको जीवन दु:खले भरिएको हुन्छ । उनीहरूकाे दैनिकी पीडादायी हुन्छ भने दिनरात मेहेनत गरेर आफ्नो लागि अथवा आफ्नो परिवारको टाउकोमाथि जिम्मेवारी कठिनाइ गर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ ।  सबै मानिसको जीवन सजिलो हुँदैन र त्यसै कारण उनीहरूले राम्ररी सुत्न पनि पाएका हुँदैनन् । यसैगरी उनीहरूले नराम्रा र असजिला सपनाहरू पनि देखिरहेका हुन्छन्।

सपना एक अनौठो र अचम्म को घटना हो । मानिसले आफ्नो सपनामा जे पनि देख्न सक्छ । अहिलेसम्म कहिले पनि नदेखेकाे अनुहार आफ्नो सपनामा आइदिन्छ भने कति बेला आफ्नै नजिकको चिनेको साथी परिवारको सदस्य आएर नराम्रा घटनाहरू पनि घटेका हुन सक्छन् । हामी सोचाैँला कि हामीले आफ्नो सपनामा के देख्छाैँ, जसलाई हामी नियन्त्रण गर्न सक्दैनौँ । हामीले आफ्नो सपनामा केके गर्छौं भन्ने कुरा आफैँमा नियन्त्रण गर्न नसकिने कुरा हाे । यो सुन्दा हजुरलाई अचम्म लाग्ला । आफ्नो सपनालाई पनि कसरी नियन्त्रण गर्ने, यस्ताे पनि हुन्छ ?  यसलाई अङ्ग्रेजीमा “लुसिद ड्रिम”, अर्थात् चमकदार सपना भनेर लिन बुझिन्छ । यस्तो अवस्थामा मानिसले आफ्नो सपनामा के गरिरहेकाे छ, के हेरिरहेकाे छ ? सबै आफूले नै नियनत्रण गर्न सक्छ । हामी धेरै जसोलाई त थाहा पनि न होला तर यो सम्भव विषय हाे ।

साधारण सपना र धेरै जसो सबैले देख्ने सपनाकै कुरा गर्दा, हामीले धेरै किसिमका सपना देखेका छौँ होला । कुनै शान्तिपूर्ण त कुनै एकदमै अप्ठ्यारो र असजिलो । हामी धेरै जसोले त एउटै सपना पनि दोहोरिएर देख्छौँ । यस्तो किन हुन्छ होला ? कहिले सोच्नुभएको छ ? कतिपयले त सपना नै देख्दैनन् । यस्ताे हुनु समान्य हो । कुनै एक व्यक्तिको सपना उसको जीवन कस्तो छ कसरी बितिरहेको छ ? त्यस्ता कारकहरूमा भर पर्छ । कसैकाे दिन राम्ररी बितेको छ भने राम्रो सपना देख्ने अनि कसैकाे नराम्रो दिन बितेकाे छ भने नराम्रो सपना देख्ने कुरा अनुसन्धानबाट पत्ता लागेकाे छ । कुनै डरलाग्दो फिलिम हेरेको दिन त्यस्तै डरलाग्दो सपना देख्ने, यस्तो धेरैजसो हुन्छ । धेरैजसोले थाहा नभए पनि आफूले दिनभर गरेको कार्यले नै कस्तो सपना देख्छौँ भन्ने कुरा देखाउँछ । जुन मानिस निदाएकाे अवस्थामा देखिन्छ । याे नै सपना हाे ।

My thoughts on the movie “ The Platform”
- Yunil Ghimire - 24016, Grade ... 06 July, 2022

“The Platform” is a social science fiction thriller, horror movie. It is a Spanish movie directed by Galder Gaztel-Urrutia. This is a movie where the characters are reassigned to different floors after 30 days. People staying at 18th floor will be moved down to floor 87 after 30 days.

The people who are put inside the building will be fed by a platform that is filled with food on the top floor and the platform will descend to the lower level/ floors of the building. The platform filled with food will stop for a certain amount of time on each floor for the people to eat the food. After they have eaten the food the people won’t be getting any other food until the next day.

The people who are at the bottom level started to get in conflict because the people on the top floor of the building can eat a lot of food but the people below the floors have to eat the leftovers from the ones who are above them. Due to this reason, most of the foods were already finished when it reached level 80 and the people below them only have bones, peels, etc to eat. The people who are below level 150 couldn’t even see the foods on the platform because the foods were already eaten by the people above them. The people who are on the lower level have to suffer a lot to get food. We can also see Cannibalism in this movie. People from the lower floor had to kill their roommates to calm their hunger whereas people from the top floor could eat the food as much as they liked and leftovers would be served to the people below them.

The above-mentioned things can be seen as the basic plot of the movie and now I would like to present my thoughts on the movie. While watching this movie I got to know that there was enough food for all the people to eat from the first floor to the bottom floor but the people were so selfish that they would eat as much as they wanted and would try to leave less food for the people below them. Also, most people have the intention of killing their roommates to consume as much food as they can by themselves. We can see animal nature of humans in this movie just like cannibalism. We saw that a person can do inhuman things to fulfill their hunger. They will betray the relationship they build with their roommates within those 30 days. And also saw the selfish behavior of the humans who are on the top floors trying to consume as much food as they can so that the people below them can starve.

Even though some of the people tried to save food so that the people below them could eat their portion, the people who wanted to consume a lot were in large numbers. So the people who were on the low floors had to suffer while the people from the top floors were having fun. This movie can be related to wildlife where weak animals get killed and stronger get to live, similarly in this movie where we saw strong people kill weak to eat their flesh in order to survive.

The Unsolved Case of Jack the Ripper
- Yawat Malla - 24037, Grade XI ... 04 July, 2022

Murder, genocide, and war are not unfamiliar topics to human beings ever since the origin of civilization. Generally, murderers are driven by their feelings of hatred, greed, and anger or by their self-designated sense of justice or injustice or even for revenge. Generally, murderers commit such crimes in response to the physical or emotional damage dealt with them by their victims, but at certain times, some murderers commit their crimes in such a way they almost seem passionate about turning people inside out. The reason for this behavior of people is considered to be some sort of abnormal psychological satisfaction.  These kinds of dreadful psychopaths kill their victims in a specific pattern and by a particular procedure. Turning back the pages of history, there are several names that have gained an astonishing amount of popularity for their merciless yet unsubstantiated killings, which sends shivers down the spines of the listener or observer yet finding it unusually astonishing. Jack the Ripper is even more popular among them, whose true identity has yet to be revealed, even after a couple of centuries.

Jack the Ripper, the ghost and the devil, is the dreadful villain of many western stories, the ultimate case for many detectives, and a fascinating tale for many mystery lovers. Ever since the murder of his first victim in the late 19th century, his popularity has only skyrocketed and he has been the ideal for many criminals.  This unidentified killer crept into the slums and improvised districts of East End London in the late 19th century usually at night, whose victims were mostly female prostitutes. He mercilessly mutilated the abdominals of his victims after opening up their throats. It is said that every cut he made in the victim’s body and every injury he dealt with his victim was convincing and frighteningly meaningful and he didn’t leave a strand of hair as evidence. Records say that he had such excellence in mutilating the organs of his victims that the investigators back then were almost sure that whomever they were seeking was an expert in the medical field and had detailed knowledge of human anatomy. But unfortunately, the investigators were not able to track the killer down and more women fell victims to his crimes.

During his lifetime, it is believed that at least 5 women fell victims to Ripper, but the number may be even greater considering the unreliability of records in the past. Investigators consider his first-ever unfortunate victim to be Mary An Nichols who was found murdered and mutilated in the city’s Whitechapel district. After the first case, the murders continued for several more months and the whole of London was left in fear of the mystery murderer.

After days and nights of investigation of the case, the investigators finally narrowed down the list of suspects to a number of four. Charles Cross, Joseph Barnett, Aron Kosminski, and Francis Tumblety were the primary suspects of being the infamous murderer. It was impossible for the police to identify a particular individual as the murderer because there was no evidence backing them up. Ultimately, the identity of Jack turned out to be a game of who’s who and the case eventually faded after the murder of the final victim, Mary Jane Kelly. The case was lost in the files of East London but gained massive popularity all around the world astonishing even modern-day detectives and investigators.

Jack may have gained such massive success mainly due to the state of anarchy in the district of  Whitechapel, and due to the absence of modern technology such as DNA testing due to which we can almost confirm that there will never be the emergence of another Jack the Ripper since the number and intelligence of the goodwill simply outnumber the number of loathsome murderers.

House Plants: Five best low-maintenance plants
- Diya Bajracharya - 23021, Gra ... 01 July, 2022

Gardening is an amalgamation of art and science of growing and cultivating plants as part of horticulture (the science, technology, and business of extensive plant growth for human consumption). Its operations are quite broad, involving both food and non-food crops such as flowers, trees, and shrubs). The most frequent type of gardening is normally done outside, but it can also be done indoors. A house plant is a type of plant that is grown indoors, such as in homes or workplaces. House plants are often grown for a variety of reasons, for decoration and health benefits like indoor air purification. Tropical or semi-tropical plants are often used for this purpose. 

In the Victorian era, indoor gardening was at its greatest. Plants like abutilons, palms, and hibiscus were discovered by botanists (scientists who specialize in researching plants).  There was another indoor plant craze in the 1970s, although it was mostly limited to leafy plants like spider plants, Swedish ivy, and ferns. Due to a lack of natural areas, indoor gardening is concerned with growing plants or houseplants within a house or a building. It is beneficial to urban residents, and it is especially recommended to those who live in apartments, flats, and small houses with limited space.

Below are the five best plants that add up greenery to your house:

Peace Lily

Tropical spathiphyllum plants (also known as peace lilies or sweet Pablos) can produce white flowers even when grown inside. They can survive in low-light situations, but they also grow in brilliantly lighted environments. When the leaves begin to droop, you'll know it's time to water it. The peace lily helps remove benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, toluene, and xylene from the air. However, It includes oxalates, which can result in contact dermatitis, a type of skin irritation. Salt crystals cause irritation when crushed, chewed, or consumed, causing a severe burning sensation. If curious pets try to eat or chew the plant, they may feel the same sensation.

Snake plant

Snake plants are natural air purifiers that help to filter and oxygenate the air. The snake plant, also known as mother-in-tongue law's or by its scientific name (Sansevieria trifasciata), is a tough plant with tall, strap-like leaves that offer a unique appearance to your decor. It can survive in low-water and light settings, though bright, indirect light is preferred. Snake plant leaves contain saponins, which are harmful to pets and can cause nausea and vomiting.

Bamboo Palm

Bamboo palm enjoys bright light, it can survive in dim light if given enough water. T his plant prefers high humidity, set it on a tray of stones with water. Add more water as the first evaporates until the stones are almost completely covered. Bamboo palm is quite effective at reducing the amount of formaldehyde released into the air by new furniture. Bamboo palm is nontoxic to pets.

Areca Palm

Areca palm looks exotic, elegant, and stately. It prefers bright, indirect light and moist, well-drained soil. It reduces the emission of benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene. The Areca palm adds humidity to the air within the house. Pests and diseases are rarely a concern.

English Ivy

English ivy (Hedera helix) is a simple-to-grow plant that prefers bright light over direct sunshine. It requires moist soil and colder temperatures than the majority of other indoor plants. Except in the winter, English ivy requires regular fertilization. Ivy helps to clean the air by reducing contaminants like mold and dog feces. English ivy produces a substance known as glycoside hederin. If consumed, this substance can cause nausea, diarrhea, fever, and difficulty breathing, among other things.
