Lakhey
- Gauri Shreya Shahi - 23055, G ... 29 April, 2022

Lakhey is a demon’s dance in the God’s carnival. Durbar Square, a historic plaza in Kathmandu, Nepal, facing old palaces and decorated by Hindu temples, is often packed with joyful crowds on the last day of Indra Jatra, the festival commemorating Indra, the Hindu monarch of heaven.

Temples are always filled on the last day of Indra Jatra, the Hindu festival celebrating Indra, the Hindu monarch of heaven. In this hallowed theater, Lakhe the demon dances forcefully and carelessly among gods and deities. He possesses a ferocious demeanor, sharp fangs, and a mane of red or black hair. In Nepal Mandala's traditional Newar culture, Lakhes play a very important role. 

The Lakhe tradition can be found throughout Nepal, particularly in Kathmandu Valley and adjacent Newar towns. The Lakhes are thought to be demons who used to live in the woodlands before becoming defenders of the inhabitants. Lasin is the name for a female Lakhe.

The Khyah, who is described as a fat, hairy ape-like creature in Nepalese folklore, is another typical legendary being.

The most famous Lakhe is the Majipa Lakhey of Kathmandu. He appears during the Indra Jatra and is also worshiped as a deity. People send him food and ceremonial artifacts as he wanders throughout the city with his musical band performing dance acts.

He performs at important crossroads and market squares. A small youngster named Jhyalincha teases Lakhe during the dance, leading the Lakhe to become upset and chase him and if the Jhyalincha is caught by the Lakhey, he has to pay a small amount of money to escape.

कक्षा १२ काे अन्त्य अनि केही सम्झनाहरू
- Manisha Gurung - 22030, Grade ... 26 April, 2022

साेचेकाे भन्दा निकै फरक वातावरण, नौला अनुहारका शिक्षकहरू र त्यसभन्दा बढी फूलबारीमा रहेका अनेकौँ फूलहरूजस्तै फरक विचार र फरक सोचका ती भिन्न अनुहारहरूलाई, म्यासेजमै कुरा गरेर एक अर्कालाई चिनेका ती व्यक्तिहरूलाई कक्षा ११ को प्रथम त्रैमासिक परीक्षाकाे पहिलो दिन थियो, हामीले हाम्रा ती साथीहरूलाई पहिलो पल्ट देखेकाे अनि भेटेको । कोरोनाको डरलाई छिचोल्दै साथीहरूको माझमा घुलमिल हुन पाएको त्यही पहिलो दिन थियो । अनलाइन कक्षामा देखेका ती अनुहारहरू साँच्चै भेट्दा आफूले सोचेभन्दा छुट्टै र बेग्लै थिए । 

जे होस्, हिजाे भेटेझैँ लाग्ने साथीहरू आज आएर एउटै परिवारका सदस्यजस्ता भएका छन् । त्यो परिवार, जसमा एक अर्कासँग मनमुटाव र झगडा भएर पनि आत्मीयताका बन्धनहरूलाई कहिले टुट्न दिएनौँ । त्यो परिवार, जसमा जति नै एक अर्कासँग रिसाए पनि एक अर्कालाई प्रोत्साहन गर्न र हरेक कुरामा साथ दिन कहिल्यै पछि हटेनौँ । त्यो परिवार, जसमा रगतको नाता पक्कै थिएन तर एक अर्कालाई भरोसा र विश्वास गर्ने शैली कुनै रगतको नातामा भन्दा कम थिएन । 

सुरु सुरुमा एक अर्काको नाम सम्झन निकै गाह्रो लाग्थ्यो । म धेरै झुक्किन्थेँ त्यसैले आफ्नै हिसाबले सम्झिने तरिकाले सबैकाे एउटा एउटा नाम राखिदिएकी थिएँ । हुन त मैले आजसम्म ‘तिम्रो नाम सम्झिन मैले यस्तो नाम राखिदिएकी थिएँ ।’ भनेर कसैलाई भनेकी छैनँ तर एक चोटी आफूले राखिदिएको नाम सम्झियो भने आफैँलाई हाँसो उठ्छ । मुख्य कुरा हिजो त्यसरी नाम सम्झिनु परेका साथीहरू आज जीवनमा बिर्सन नसक्ने व्यक्तिहरू बन्न सफल भएका छन् । 

कक्षा १२ लगभग सकिन लाग्यो तर यो दुई वर्ष यति चाँडै कसरी बित्याे, म आफैँलाई थाहा छैन । लाग्छ, साथी भन्ने सम्बन्ध नै प्रेमिल भावनाहरूको सङ्गम हाे, जहाँ हरेकसँग आफ्नै ढङ्गबाट आत्मीयता जोडिएको छ । दुई वर्षको समयमा सँगै खेल्यौँ, सँगै बस्यौँ, सँगै घुम्याैँ, सँगै पढ्याैँ अनि सँगै नाच्याैँ पनि । तिनै यादहरूकाे साथमा हामी एक अर्काबाट टाढिँदै छाैँ । 

घरमा गर्नुपर्ने गृहकार्य विद्यालयमा हतार हतार गर्ने हामी, कुनै कामकाे बुझाउने मिति आएपछि मात्र गर्न तम्सिने हामी, साँच्चै ती सबै पलहरू सम्झन लायककाा छन् तर अब केबल तिनै तितामिठा सङ्गमका यादहरू नै हामीसँग रहन्छन् । जीवनमा धेरै साथीहरू भेटिन्छन् अनि छुट्छन् तर मेरा लागि याे दुई वर्षमा भेटिएका साथीहरू फरक र महत्त्वपूर्ण बने त्यसैले त्यति छिटाे यी यादहरू बिर्सिन्छु जस्तो लाग्दैन ।

एक अर्कालाई गृहकार्य गर्न सघाउनेदेखि लिएर एक अर्कालाई जिस्काउन, झगडा गर्न, अनेक थरि नाम राख्न अनि शिक्षकहरूकाे नक्कल गर्नसमेत कसैले छोडेन । हुन त स्कुले जीवनमा याे प्रत्येक व्यक्तिले गर्ने कुरा हाे । यसमा केही नयाँ र नौला कुराहरू छैनन् तर खै किन हो आफ्नै आत्माले अनुभव गरेका ती कुराहरू सबैभन्दा प्यारा र रमाइला लाग्दारहेछन् । अनलाइन नै भए पनि रमाइला पलहरू धेरै बितायौँ । अहिले सम्झिँदा पनि हाँसाे थाम्न नसक्ने घटनाहरू पनि टन्न छन् । जति सक्यो, आआफ्नै शैलीबाट रमाइलो गर्याैं अनि याे लगभग दुई वर्षमा अर्कालाई थोरै भए पनि चिनेका छौँ, बुझेका छौँ र एक अर्काका भावनाहरूलाई नजिकबाट महसुस गरेका छौँ । 

अन्त्यमा हामी एक अर्काबाट छुटिँदै छौँ तर सँगै बिताएका पलहरू सम्झना स्वरूप मन अनि मस्तिष्कमा सधैँ बाँधेर राख्नू । भेट हुँदा जीवनको कुनै मोडमा, तर्केर हिँड्नुको सट्टा मिठो मुस्कानले हामीले बिताएका पलहरूको सम्झना छ भनेर सङ्केत गरिदिनू । सामाजिक सञ्जाल र मोबाइल नम्बर हाेला सबैसँग, आफ्नो मपाईंत्वलाई एकछिन बिर्सेर ‘के छ साथी ?’ भनेर म्यासेज गर्न नभुल्नू ।

यो दुई वर्षमा मैले प्रत्येक व्यक्तिबाट केही न केही सिकेकी छु । फरक धारणा, फरक विचार र फरक मनस्थितिकाे विविधताभित्रको एकताले धेरै कुरा सिकाएको छ र लाग्छ, हामी सबैले सिफल स्कुलले प्रदान गरेकाे प्रेमिल वातावरणमा साँच्चै किताबी ज्ञानभन्दा बढी व्यावहारिक शिक्षा प्राप्त गरेका छौँ ।

Peace is all a lie
- Samyam Shrestha - 22012, Grad ... 26 April, 2022

How is it possible to live in a world without hope? Revolution has started, people are dying but there is no response of calm. Peace was all we wanted, but in return we got war. Obtaining peace is harder than preventing war. We go by saying ‘God will help us all’ , ‘there is still hope for peace’. But if the problems are created from ourselves, then why do you think God would help us? Just wasting time preparing for battle where we could be useful for the development of the whole world. But one voice can’t be raised as it gets suppressed from every side. 

We have heard nothing about their war and other stuff. We think about peace and harmony but it seems everything is a lie as thousands get killed every second. Peace is just the imagination , hell is the reality. People can’t ascend to heaven because we are already living in hell. How many do you think my men have sacrificed? Hundreds? Thousands ? millions ? You may be close but hundreds of thousands have been set and sacrificed just for a small thing called peace. We get compliments for doing a great job. But the greatest success was coming back home alive. Many soldiers have sacrificed for us to reach our homes. We won't forget their legends that would be passed down to others. As a commander who could have thought this day would have come that all of my men would die in an instant. How could they have left their family behind? The order was to work not to leave this world this quickly. Sadness and sorrow built up inside the heart but can’t express because who am i? Just a normal useless commander. 

High expectations from the higher up, those bastards can’t even fight properly, their authority of giving us orders are all useless. They just create the highway to hell for us. But still we have to protect them. For what? Randomly making us go to war? Keeping peace? Or forcing men to die? Thinking is just useless, working is only the option. Coal dust is all over my face. It wont go off how much I try, sweat has covered my whole body but still can’t see a day off. Wherever I see and go, orders and service is all they want, those bastards sleeping behind the chairs getting protection is what pisses everyone off. Working 24 hours non-stop can be such a pain but serving the people in the nation is one pride of these men. Our motherland is more than heaven. Even though bad mouthing is done, we still love it the same as our life. Every soldier feels the same yet has to distance themselves from their motherland just to protect their families from hell. In the years of service, I salute all the members who have sacrificed their lives for this place. Even though we couldn’t do anything but will be remembered in everyone’s mind as the heroes of this country. The era will change but the war will never change. Death is inevitable, war is unplanned but we soldiers fight both of those not remembering what will be the outcome. 

We are hit, the armor deck has been penetrated, turrets went stale, it can't reach the enemy, a side of ammunition has exploded, slowly everything is flooding. The dream of making this country a better place is going down the water. I hope this world will get a second chance. So till the last breath we will still be this country's standing pride.

एक थोपा पानीजस्तै हाम्रो जीवनको महत्त्व
- Tatsam Gautam - 23045, Grade ... 26 April, 2022

भनिन्छ कि एक एक थोपा पानी मिलेर समुद्र बन्छ,

त्यस्तै हाम्रो जीवनको एक एक क्षणले हामीलाई अगाडि बढाउँछ,

मौका अनेकौँ आए पनि लक्ष्य हुन्छ एक

जति नै कठिन परिस्थिति आए पनि समाधान हुन्छ एक ।   


 

आउँछन् अनेकौँ साथी, कोही सुरुमै छोडेर जान्छन्,

कोही आफ्नो फाइदाका लागि पुरानो नाता तोडेर जान्छन्,

कोही हुन्छन् सँगसँगै साथ दिने

कोही हुन्छन् बिच बाटामै घात दिने । 


 

कोही हुन्छन् पानीजस्तै सफा मन भएका

कोही हुन्छन् त्यही पानीलाई दुषित बनाउने तन भएका   

कोही हुन्छन् समस्याहरूले बाँधिएका

कोही हुन्छन् तिनै समस्यालाई सुल्झाउन आत्तिएका । 


 

आफ्नो एउटा असफलतामा रोएर नबस्नू कहिले

कुनै बेला तिम्रो भाग्य चम्किन्छ, सफलताको शिखरमा जहिले  

आमाबुबाको मानको सबाल त छँदै छ, 

तर पैसा कमाउने चक्करमा आफ्नो जीवनलाई लुटाउन नखोज कहिले ।

Multiverse
- Om Thapa - 23053, Grade XI on ... 25 April, 2022

The multiverse is an imaginary collection of numerous universes or realities. The other multiverses are usually called parallel universes or alternate universes. The idea of the multiverse came from Ancient Greeks philosophy Atomism. Atomism is a natural philosophy claiming that the physical cosmos is made up of fundamental, indivisible components known as atoms. Atomism claimed that an infinite number of parallel universes could exist due to the collision of atoms. The term multiverse was used by American philosopher William James in 1895. Some scientists in 2010 analyzed WMAP data and claimed to have discovered evidence indicating that in the distant. In the past, this universe clashed with other parallel universes. WMAP also known as Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe was a NASA spacecraft operating from 2001 to 2010 which measured temperature difference across space in the cosmic microwave background which is the radiant heat remaining from the big bang. But by analyzing more data from WMAP and from Planck satellite which did not provide any evidence of bubble universe collision. According to the theory of multiverse there could be other parallel universes which could have their own laws of physics with other planets and stars then ours and with more intelligent civilization than ours. It also claims that there could be an exact copy of you reading this exact copy of this article. In other words, there could be an infinite number of the same or exact scenario happening in another parallel universe as there are an infinite number of universes according to this theory. A physicist Max Tegmark explained the multiverse into four different levels.


1) Level 1(Regions based Cosmic Horizon) : The cosmos is fundamentally indefinitely large and includes matter in nearly the same distribution that we observe in the universe. The laws of physics are the same as in our observable universe. It is like an exact duplicate of our universe.

2) Level 2(Other Post-inflation Bubbles) : Separate universes arise like bubbles of spacetime, each with its own type of expansion, according to the laws of inflation theory. The laws of physics could be very different from our universe. In that parallel universe, there could be new stars and planets which will not be the same as planets and stars in our universe.

3)Level 3 (Many worlds of Quantum Physics) : According to quantum physics, Events unfold in every imaginable way, simply in different universes. Same scenarios will be repeated and every single decision of every individual matters. Most of the movies, books and T.V series have this type of multiverse ideas.

4)Level 4 (Other mathematical structure) : This form of parallel world is a catch-all for various mathematical structures that we can imagine but do not see physical realities in our reality. Level 4 parallel worlds are

those that are controlled by equations that differ from those that govern our reality. Unlike Level 2 worlds, it is fully new sets of laws, not merely various expressions of the same underlying principles. As the concept of multiverse becomes popular movies and TV shows are using the concept of multiverse. To know more about the multiverse I would recommend books like ‘The space between Worlds’ , ’Dark Matter”, etc.

Anonymous: Internet Vigilantes
- Aashutosh Pudasaini - 22002, ... 25 April, 2022

If you are on the internet for a while, I am sure you have heard the tales of the hacktivist group :Anonymous Whenever there is a conversation about hackers or hacking in general the term Anonymous is synonymous with that conversation. Anonymous started as a bunch of computer geeks on a 4chan server brought together by Christopher Poole(moot) in 2003, Poole named the server Anonymous, and people would converse on the server about many popular and burning issues in the world. They would express themselves freely about any problems in the society. Nothing was materialized in the beginning however when they had enough members they started to make progress and attack people or organizations that they viewed to be wrong. One of their first targets was the cult organization `Department of Scientology`. They have moved on since then and attacked any sort of wrongdoing.

Anonymous has been widely misrepresented by the mainstream media for as long as they have existed, not because they’re harmful and will do evil things but because they threaten their power and authority over the public. So often has Anonymous been antagonized by the big companies labelling them as “hostile”, and “harmful” but the reality is that Anonymous normally punishes wrong people who’ve done bad things like Hunter Moore, they have also hacked many Chinese websites during their Free-Taiwan movement. After the horrendous killing of George Floyd, Anonymous sided with the people and demanded justice for Geroge Floyd. They have hacked government websites to reveal heinous secrets hidden from the public eye. The sheer size of Anonymous makes it vulnerable to misidentity. Whenever there is a hostile hacking incident anonymous is the first hacktivist group people point their fingers at. To make matters worse people use Anonymous as a cash cow and spread the wrong message wearing the anonymous mask which not only spreads misinformation but also goes against everything anonymous stands for.

What I find fascinating about Anonymous is that everyone and anyone is anonymous. It could be me, you, the person behind you at the canteen, your father or anyone. Everyone hides their identity but has the same objective, to make the world a better place, may it be by punishing the wrong people or by promoting Open Source and open conversations between governments and people. Anonymous is here to stay and Anonymous means well.


 

We are Anonymous. We are legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.”: Anonymous

औषधिजन्य जडीबुटीको प्रयाेग
- Jubin Maharjan - 22026, Grade ... 25 April, 2022

औषधिजन्य जडीबुटी ती औषधिहरू हुन्, जुन बोटबिरुवाका सामग्रीहरूबाट बनाइन्छन् । औषधि बनाउन बिरुवाका विभिन्न भागहरू प्रयोग गरिन्छन्, जस्तै जरा, पात, फूल आदि । यद्यपि यी औषधिहरू प्राकृतिक भएर पनि यिनीहरूले अझै पनि तपाईंको शरीरमा केही साइड इफेक्ट गर्न सक्छन् ।

आजकल हर्बल औषधिहरू धेरै लोकप्रिय हुँदै गइरहेका छन् किनभने मानिसहरू हर्बल औषधि प्राकृतिक र सुरक्षित छन् भन्ने सोच्छन् । विज्ञान र उद्योगले बनाएका औषधिहरू नाफा कमाउनका लागि बनाइन्छन् र जनताका लागि जोखिमपूर्ण हुन्छन् भन्ने मानिसलाई लाग्छ तर यो विश्वास गलत छ । विज्ञानले बनाएका औषधिहरू महँगा भए पनि ती औषधी बनाउनका लागि आवश्यक अनुसन्धानको मात्राले गर्दा ती धेरै सुरक्षित हुन्छन् र राम्ररी काम गर्छन् ।

हर्बल औषधिहरूले प्रभाव पार्न वैज्ञानिक औषधिहरूले भन्दा धेरै समय लिन्छन् । ती औषधिजन्य जडीबुटीहरूमाथि पनि राम्ररी अनुसन्धान गरिएको छैन । हर्बल औषधिहरूमा भएका सामग्रीहरूले केही मानिसहरूमा एलर्जीजन्य प्रतिक्रियाहरू निम्त्याउन सक्छन् । यदि व्यक्तिलाई कुनै गम्भीर रोग छ भने यी औषधिहरू बेकार छन् । औषधिजन्य जडीबुटीहरूले मानिसहरूलाई राहतको झुटा भावना मात्र दिन्छन् र यदि व्यक्तिहरू पहिले नै औषधि लिइरहेका छन् र तिनीहरूले औषधिजन्य जडीबुटी खान्छन् भने ती औषधिजन्य जडीबुटीहरूकाे पहिलेदेखि सेवन गरिरहेकाे औषधिका साथ नकारात्मक प्रतिक्रिया हुन सक्छ । 

यदि कुनै व्यक्ति कुनै रोगबाट पीडित छ भने उसले डाक्टरकहाँ जानुपर्छ । तिनीहरूले प्रदान गर्ने औषधिहरू धेरै प्रभावकारी र सुरक्षित छन् । हर्बल औषधिहरू केही साना केसहरूका लागि मात्र राम्रा छन् । औषधिजन्य जडीबुटीहरू गम्भीर रोगहरूमा प्रयोग गर्नु हुँदैन किनभने तिनीहरूको राम्रोसँग अनुसन्धान गरिएको छैन र यिनीहरूले कुनै पनि सकारात्मक प्रभाव देखाउन धेरै समय लाग्छ ।

NEGATIVE IMPACT OF INTERNET ON CHILDRENS
- Norah Lama - 23060, Grade XI ... 22 April, 2022

In today's world, the internet has become an indispensable part of  our life. It provides us with a platform where we can create our own virtual social space in which we can upload or get information. However, it has turned man into a hermit. Gone are the days when the internet was merely a resource for finding information. Social networking sites have changed the way people think about the internet and how they use it. It's now a fantastic way to connect and communicate with people who live thousands of miles apart.

Addiction to these sites can have a negative impact on our mental health, and it can even lead to sadness, anxiety and depression. The user's trustworthiness is in doubt. On these sites, it's difficult to trust strangers. It preys on the emotions of many children and teenagers. They don't wish to associate with other people. For them, the Internet is their only source of entertainment. Other factors and interests are secondary. It has an impact on children's schoolwork because they spend so much of their time on these sites that they lose interest in their studies and their ability to concentrate. It can sometimes encourage a lot of scams.

Despite the fact that these sites have a number of negative consequences, they are also useful tools for engaging with millions of people and exchanging ideas throughout the world. We must all adjust how we use them. The only thing we need to know is where the boundary line is. It is up to you to decide how much you can trust and use these.

मुद्रास्फीति
- Arya Tharu - 22006, Grade XII ... 22 April, 2022

मुद्रास्फीति र बेरोजगारी समकालीन समाजमा सबैभन्दा बढी चर्चा हुने दुई शब्द हुन् ।  अहिलेको समयमा हेर्दा सबै किसिमका समानहरूको मूल्य तीव्र गतिले बढिरहेको छ, चाहे त्यो पेट्रोल, डिजेल होस्, कि त त्यो खाना पकाउने तेल होस् । यी अहिले हाम्रो देशका सबैभन्दा ठुला समस्या हुन् । हामी सबैलाई मुद्रास्फीति भनेको त थाहा नै छ तर यसलाई परिभाषित गर्नुपर्दा मुद्रास्फीति भनेको कुनै निश्चित समयावधिमा वस्तु र सेवाको मूल्य वृद्धि हुनु हो । सामान्य स्तर वा औसत रूपमा मूल्य बढ्नु वा महँगाइ बढ्नु हो ।

 साधारण रूपमा बुझ्नुपर्दा १ - २ साल विगत अगाडि रु. १५ पर्ने वाई वाई चाउचाउ अहिले मुद्रास्फीतिका कारण रु. २० पर्छ । जब मुद्राले मूल्य गुमाउँछ, वस्तु र सेवाहरूको मूल्य बढ्न जान्छ, जुन कारण कम वस्तु र सेवाहरू खरिद हुन्छन् । यस कारण किन्ने क्षमता कम हुन्छ, जसले गर्दा आम जनताको जीवनयापनलाई प्रत्यक्ष रूपले असर गर्दछ र अन्ततः आर्थिक वृद्धिमा मन्दी निम्त्याउँछ ।


जब अर्थव्यवस्थामा अतिरिक्त माग बढ्छ, तब कुनै पनि समानको उत्पादन लागत वृद्धि हुन्छ र मुद्रा आपूर्तिमा द्रुत वृद्धि, त्यसले मुद्रास्फीति बढाउने काम गर्छ । प्राकृतिक प्रकोप, युद्धजस्ता घटनाले उत्पादनलाई अवरोध गर्छ र यसै कारण पनि महँगाइ बढ्ने गर्दछ । बढ्दो आयात मूल्यले पनि मुद्रास्फीतिलाई ठुलो असर गर्छ ।

 

मुद्रास्फीतिले देशको अर्थतन्त्रलाई वस्तुको मूल्य समायोजन गर्न मद्दत गर्छ भने अर्को पक्षमा राज्यको विकास तथा राजनीतिक र सामाजिक विकासका लागि हानिकारक छ । मुद्रास्फीतिले राज्यको सम्पत्तिको वितरण अनुचित रूपमा निम्त्याउँछ, जहाँ धनी व्यक्ति झन् धनी हुँदै जान्छन् भने गरिब व्यक्ति झन् गरिब हुँदै जान्छन् । उनीहरूले आफ्नो जीवनको स्तर कहिले बढ्दैन ।

 

अत: मुद्रास्फीतिले अर्थतन्त्रका विभिन्न क्षेत्रहरूलाई असर गर्छ । यसले साना बच्चादेखि वृद्धसम्मका सबै मानिसलाई असर गर्छ । यसको उत्पादनका क्षेत्रमा, सामाजिक क्षेत्रमा,  मौद्रिक नीतिमा, राजनीतिकलगायतका सबै क्षेत्रमा ठुलो प्रभाव रहेको छ ।
