महिनावारी
- Yojana Gautam - 23068, Grade ... 08 April, 2022

म पहिलोपल्ट महिनावारी हुँदा

आमाको धोती पहिलोपल्ट

टुक्रा टुक्रा भई पहिलोपल्ट

टालो भएको थियो ।

 

हो, म पहिलोपल्ट महिनावारी हुँदा

शरीरमा अनौठो खालको डर पैदा भएको थियो,

रातो रगत शरीरबाट निस्कँदा

हो, पहिलोपल्ट मेरो आँगन परदेश भएको थियो ।


म पहिलोपल्ट महिनावारी हुँदा

सधैँ लुटुपुटु गर्ने बुवा, हजुरबुवाको काख

पहिलोपल्ट नै अन्जान भएको थियो,

आमाले खाना पकाउँदा

लुसुक्क छिरेर तरकारी चाख्ने भान्छा

पहिलोपल्ट म महिनावारी भएर छिर्दा 

अपवित्र भएको थियो ।


बिहानीको उजेलीसँगै 

घरको मन्दिरमा छिर्ने मलाई 

पहिलोपल्ट तिनै देवीहरूलाई

छुन हुन्न भनी अपवित्र घोषित गरिएको थियोे ।


पहिलोपल्ट महिनावारी हुँदा छोएको वस्तु 

सुनपानीले चोख्याएर पवित्र बनाइएको थियो, 

तर मलाई पहिलोपल्ट महिनावारी हुँदा

सात सात दिनसम्म अपवित्र बनाइएको थियो ।

विद्यार्थी र राजनीति
- Shreejal Khatri - 22024, Grad ... 07 April, 2022

वर्तमान समयमा आएर याे देशको गतिविधि हेर्ने हाे भने यहाँ विद्यार्थी र राजनीति एक आपसमा सम्बन्धित रहेको पाइन्छ । याे कुरा राम्रो पनि होइन र नराम्रो पनि होइन । नराम्रो होइन भन्ने अर्थमा हेर्ने हो भने विद्यार्थीले राजनीति गर्दा ऊ आफ्नो देशप्रति विचार गरेर आफ्नो खुबी र दर्शन देशप्रति कस्तो छ ? कस्तो रहनुपर्ने हो ? भन्ने कुरामा स्पष्ट हुन पाउँछ । यो राम्रो पनि होइन, कुन अर्थमा भनेको भने राजनीति नराम्रो भएर समस्या बनेको अवस्थामा विद्यार्थी केवल राजनीति गर्ने मात्र हुन जान्छ, पढ्ने व्यक्ति चाहिँ होइन ।

विद्यार्थी भन्नाले शिक्षा आर्जन गर्ने व्यक्ति भनेर चिनिन्छ । उसकाे पहिलाे कर्तव्य हुन्छ शिक्षा आर्जन गर्नु अनि मात्र देशप्रति आफ्नो दर्शन व्यक्त गर्न राजनीति गर्नु तर हाम्राे देशमा शिक्षा आर्जन कम र राजनीति धेरै हुन थालेको छ, जुन राम्रो होइन । राजनीति गर्नलाई राजनीतिका नेताहरू छन्, उनीहरू नै लड्छन्, देश बनाउँछन् । देशका लागि भन्छन् र राजनीति गर्छन् ।  यसमा विद्यार्थीहरू उनीहरूकाे पुच्छर लाग्नुहुन्न । ठिक छ, राजनीति पनि विद्यार्थीकालदेखि नै पढ्दै गएको छ र त्यसबारेमा चासो लागेको छ भने राम्रो नै हुन्छ । राजनीतिमा हामीले देखेकै छौँ, यसमा धेरै झगडा हुने गर्दछ । त्यसैले सकेसम्म विद्यार्थी र राजनीति टाढै रहनु राम्रो हुन्छ, जबसम्म विद्यार्थीले उच्च शिक्षा हासिल गर्दैन । आजभोलिकाे समयमा भने राजनीति पनि विद्यार्थीसँगै मिलिसकेको छ । विद्यार्थीकाे हकहितका लागि राजनीति गर्न सकिन्छ । विद्यार्थीको नाममा झगडा गर्नु र वर्ग स्वार्थका लागि हानाथाप गरी देशलाई बर्बाद गर्नु पनि राम्रो होइन । यसरी विद्यार्थीले शिक्षासँगै राजनीतिक अनुभव पनि लिँदै गए र देशप्रति इमानदार रहन सके विद्यार्थी र राजनीति एक आपसमा सार्थक हुन सक्ला तर राजनीति मात्र गरेर शिक्षाको वास्ता नगरेर आफ्नो सीमित स्वार्थकाे राजनीति प्रयाेग गरेर हिँड्नुभन्दा विद्यार्थी र राजनीतिलाई परै राख्नु राम्रो हो, यसर्थ विद्यार्थीले राजनीति गरेर पनि वर्तमान समयको सीमित स्वार्थका लागि निजी राजनीतिजस्तै नगरे भविष्यमा राम्रो हुने धेरै मौका छ । राजनीतिलाई मैले राम्रो होइन भन्न पनि खोजेकाे होइन तर नेपालको राजनीति हेर्दा भ्रष्टाचार गरिएको र जनताको कर खाएर नेता तथा कर्मचारीहरू बसेकाे भेटिन्छ । यसले गर्दा अहिलेका विद्यार्थीको मनमा नकारात्मक विचार आउन सक्छ किनभने विद्यार्थीले पछि गएर काम गर्दा उनीहरूले कमाएकाे पैसा सबै नेताहरूले आफ्नै मोजका लागि प्रयोग गरेका छन् भने उनीहरूलाई पनि बसी बसी केही नगरेर पैसा खाने एउटा विचार आउँदछ । यसले गर्दा हामीले विद्यार्थीहरूलाई के कुरा ठिक र के कुरा वेठिक भनेर राम्रोसँग जानकारी दिनुपर्छ।  

विद्यार्थी शक्ति भनेकाे देशका लागि महत्त्वपूर्ण शक्ति हो। विद्यार्थी शक्तिले देशमा रहेका विकृतिहरू हटाउन पनि सक्छन् । विद्यार्थीहरूले संसारका कुनामा कुनामा अध्ययन गरी पत्ता लगाएका नयाँ जानकारी देशभित्र रहेका विद्यार्थीलाई बाँड्न सकेमा देशकाे विकाश अझ छिटाे हुनेछ ।

The Heaven's Gate Cult
- Riyaj Kuikel - 23035, Grade X ... 07 April, 2022

Cult is defined as a movement that follows a set of beliefs that other people find strange or fail to understand and praises the leader as a god-like figure.Most of the cults have a negative implication in our society.Most of the cults insists that they are not cults and no one in a cult realizes that they are in a cult.The  members of a cult have a very rigid belief and are firm believer that their beliefs are absolutely right.
                                                             
There have been many cults throughout history but the infamous “Heaven’s gate cult'' also known as the cult of the cults is one of the most interesting one. The heaven’s gate cult was founded in 1974 and led by Bonnie Nettles and Marshall Applewhite who were known as Ti and Do within the cult.Applewhite who was fired from University of St. Thomas for having an alleged relationship with one of his male students  met Nettles, a 44 years old married nurse with a keen interest in theosophy and  Biblical prophecy in 1972 while visiting a friend in a hospital and together went on a spiritual journey attracting several hundreds of people in the mid 1970’s.They studied various teaching of Christology, asceticism, and eschatology together.Later in october 1996 Applewhite and his followers created a which outlines his belief about heaven’ gate and how to enter it. He believed that the humans can transform their body chemically and biologically transform their body into  next level alien .That  they can physically get on aboard on a ufo which was on the tail of Hale-Bopp comet which would  sail off to heaven .Applewhite persuaded his followers to prepare for ritual mass sucide so that their souls can board the supposed UFO.He believed that the UFO would take their souls to another level of existence which was above the human existence. Then the members of the cult started preparing and videotaping a farewell message.

Then On march 26 1997 police entered a mansion in San Diego,California where they found 39 dead bodies, 21 women and 18 men  of the members of the heaven’s gate cult all of them wearing identical black Nikes and tracksuits covered in purple shrouds .The police found that they died from eating  applesauce mixed with phenobarbital and washing it down with vodka.

Consistency: An Important Factor in Life
- Aditya Majhi - 22006, Grade X ... 07 April, 2022

What is consistency? What is the power of consistency? 

The state of being constant like its value or the way doesn’t change is consistency. We all are consistent in something. We have been doing a lot and mostly we are consistent in that. “Change” is very difficult for some people, so mostly we like to go on with similar things, most people follow a fixed routine life; it doesn't go fast or slow. Time is consistent for all. We become consistent because of many reasons, one can be setting goals to achieve in the near future. Let's take an example of exam preparation which is going to be held in one month and an average person needs to be consistent to achieve the feat of being good at that and sort all the readings, questions and make a mark in his/her result. He/she must be consistent in reading. To achieve something we need to be consistent.  


 

We know that we have different problems in our life, they can challenge us and put us in such a difficult situation where we even want to give up. These hardships and difficulties tend to lead us towards being inconsistent but to do something in our life we must dismantle that and move ahead with consistency if we want to achieve the feat. Inconsistency equals being unproductive and that is one bad day in our life. Life is all about achievements, breathing is not the life that we seek for, but if we are not focused towards our goal, be consistent we may deviate from the path and ultimately life becomes a sort of burden. Consistency even helps us to have self-control in our life, it helps us to track our dissatisfactions, lackness and improvise us to achieve our goals.


 

We need motivation to be consistent, and being motivated makes people consistent. I think the best way to be consistent is that one should focus on today, complete their errands on time and not bother to think about tomorrow. The power of consistency is that one might feel incomplete even when they are on leave. Every day when you are consistent makes you a better person than yesterday.


 

Taking an example of a bodybuilder, it is a tough and much hard work needed thing but if a bodybuilder cheats for a week they end up being out of shape and they will need another two weeks to be in former shape. One can get motivated by bodybuilders as they are very disciplined and consistent. Consistency makes a person disciplined.

Busy
- Samyak Baniya - 23037, Grade ... 06 April, 2022

Since you  and I are  “busy” , I'll try and keep this post concise. Very busy. It's one of the primary ways in which we communicate our importance toward others. If we're not busy, we're not important, right?

WRONG.

I've discovered that even the most productive and successful people I have ever met are indeed busy, but you'd never know it. They have access to time others do not. And, while you may not get much of their attention, once you do, it's indeed undivided. They are fully present and make the most out of every interaction. No multitasking because it's just as awful as blowing you off completely.

Most of us waste our time. We waste our valuable time on things we shouldn't. As a result, we have less time to spend wisely on things that really matter. This could include improving our skill set, pursuing a passion , investing in a hobby, or actually spending more time with the people we care most about .

Why do most of us waste time and have to go out of our way of telling others how busy we are? Because we have come to glorify being busy as a culture. We've all been tricked into thinking that just being busy implies we're important. That, unfortunately, is not really the case.

Being busy isn't cool.

Being busy leads us all to be rushed, which in turn causes short-sightedness, expands blind spots, amplifies thoughtless mistakes, and results in missed opportunities which we can recuperate from. 

So, the next time you find yourselves apologizing to anyone by not being able to meet them, meet the deadlines respond to them, or simply acknowledge their existence because you've been so busy, consider the REAL message you're sending them:


1)  My time is way more important than yours.


2) I'm awful at managing my time.


3) I want you to judge me on how busy I am vs how productive I am.


4) You are not really a priority, or at least what you really want to talk to me about isn't.

Do you actually need to exercise/workout?
- Darshan Mainali - 22007, Grad ... 06 April, 2022

Humans have progressed a lot in the fields of science and technology or can say they have par intellectually in comparison to the earlier period,are very busy and confined within their errands but along with that lot of progression they are even suffering from different health issues. To cope with the health issues, Exercising or working out is considered as important, which will help humans to lead a healthy and happy life. The better health of an individual wholly relies on his diet and his work out schedule.


Exercising shouldn't be taken as a burden rather it should be cultivated in oneself as a virtuous habit. It should be the part of every individual in today’s busy and “ popular culture” context. People may have misconceptions regarding diet and exercises, there should be awareness programs that must attract and motivate individuals towards workout.


There aren't any age restrictions to working out or exercising. Regular physical activities such as jumping,running,cycling is also considered as an exercise as it helps to keep your muscles and bones strong as well as keep you away from any kind of heart disease. If an individual has any queries or thoughts on about where to start working out, s/he can join a gym for instance. There are trainers in the gym who help you to exercise and let your muscles grow the proper way. 


When it comes to working out, one must not feel lackadaisical or forfeit his workout schedule. Consistency is the key if one wants to achieve his/her dream body. Said that, one or two rest days in a week is also as important as working out. When someone lifts heavy weights or tries to carry out any kinds of body weights, his/her muscles feel sore and tearing of tissues ensue. During rest the body cells help the tissue to heal and evolve the muscles. 


In this generation, the food that we intake is produced using additives and preservatives which gradually affects the digestive system of the human body. Maintaining a healthy diet is as important as working out or exercising. Muscles and bones cannot grow or strengthen without receiving necessary proteins, calcium, carbohydrates or in whole the proper diet. One needs to be aware of the dietary plan and foods.  


Hence, working out, exercising and maintaining a healthy diet is very important to keep oneself fit, healthy and active. And looking at today's context we must get motivated and keep motivating others.

मेरो कपाल खौरिएको छ…
- Safal Gautam - 22016, Grade X ... 06 April, 2022

मेरो प्रश्न यहाँका सबै केटाहरूलाई छ । अरू केटाहरूले लामो कपाल राखेर उनीहरू फिल्मको हिरोभन्दा कम देखिँदैनन्, जसले गर्दा हामीलाई पनि उनीहरूजस्तै बन्न मन लाग्छ, होइन त ? मलाई अरूको बारेमा थाहा छैन तर यो मेरा लागि भने दिनदिनैको सोच थियो । मैले मेरो कपाल काट्न छोड्ने र यसलाई बढ्न दिन चाहन्छु भन्ने निर्णय गरेको समय त्यतिबेला थियो, जब मैले मेरो दाइलाई त्यस्तै गरिरहेको देखेँ । म त्यो समयमा सोझो थिएँ र बच्चै थिएँ त्यसैले मलाई लाग्यो कि यदि उसले यो गर्न सक्छ भने म पनि गर्न सक्छु ।

कपाल नकाट्ने निर्णयमा अडिग रहनुको अर्को मुख्य कारण के. जी. एफ हेरेपछिकाे प्रभाव थियो । त्यो लामो कपालमा रकी कति खतरा देखिन्थ्यो, त्यसैले मलाई पनि त्यस्तै देखिन मन लाग्यो । मेरो कपाल पाल्ने यात्रा यसरी सुरु भयो । लकडाउन र कक्षा १० को अन्त्यले मेरो यो विचारलाई समर्थन गर्‍यो किनकि मेरो कपाल काट्ने कोही नाउ थिएन र मलाई मेरो स्कुलले फेरि कपाल काट्न बाध्य पार्न सक्दैनथ्यो । 

मेरो यो यात्रामा निस्सन्देह धेरै चुनौतीहरू थिए । मेरो हजुरबुबा बितेपछि कपाल काट्नुपर्ने हो कि भनेर म आत्तिन थालेँ तर पछि व्रतबन्ध गर्नेले मात्र कपाल काट्नुपर्दो रहेछ भनेर थाहा पाएपछि राहतको सास फेरेँ । यस प्रकारको सोच खराब छ, मलाई थाहा छ तर म साँच्चै मेरो लामो कपाल राख्न चाहन्थेँ, जसलाई बढ्नका लागि ३ महिना लागेको थियो ।

मैले सामना गरेको अर्को चुनौती त्यतिबेला थियो, जब मेरो थप अध्ययन पूरा गर्न उच्च शिक्षा हासिल गर्ने विद्यालय छनोट गर्ने समय आयो । पहिले मैले सुनेको थिएँ कि कलेजहरूले कपाल बढाउन अनुमति दिन्छन् तर पछि मैले सुनेँ कि त्यो केवल एक झुटाे प्रतिज्ञा थियो । अझ मैले पहिलो पटक प्रयास गर्न चाहेका कलेजहरू कपालकाे मामिलामा अत्यन्त कडा थिए ।

त्यतिबेला मैले सोचेँ कि भगवान्‌ले मलाई “कपाल काट् ।” भनिरहनुभएकाे रहेछ तर त्यसपछि मुक्तिदाताजस्तै गरी डी. एस. एसको खबर मतर्फ दौडियो । सुरुमा मलाई कुनै आशा थिएन तर जब मैले आकर्षक सेवाहरू र यस विद्यालयले विद्यार्थीहरूलाई गर्न दिने कुराहरू हेर्न थालेँ, मैले निर्णय गरेँ कि मेरो भाग्यमा यही विद्यालय लेखिएको हो । यो भन्नु ठुलो कुरा होइन तर इमानदारीपूर्वक भन्नुपर्दा म डी. एस. एसमा आउनुको मुख्य कारणहरू यसका अतिरिक्त क्रियाकलापहरू र यसले विद्यार्थीहरूलाई कपाल बढाउन अनुमति दिने नियम हुन् । 

त्यसपछि मैले जीवनको आनन्द लिन थालेँ । मेरो कपाल मैले चाहेकोजस्तो लामो भयो । मलाई लाग्यो कि म राम्रो देखिन्छु र अचानक म चर्चाकाे विषय बन्न पुगेँ तर यात्राको अंश अन्त्य हो । अन्ततः मेरो व्रतबन्धको दिन तय भएको खबरले गर्दा यो आरामदायी जीवन एक्कासि टुट्यो । मसँग कपाल पाल्नका लागि जम्मा २ हप्ता मात्र बाँकी थियो । मैले पूरै २ वर्ष पालेकाे कपाल ! सुरुमा कति खुसी थिएँ, अहिले कति दुःखी छु । 

मेरो कपाललाई बिदाइ गर्ने दिनको समय नजिक आयो । मलाई थाहा थियो कि अन्ततः कपाल काट्नु अपरिहार्य हुने छ त्यसैले मैले प्रतिरोध छोडेँ । के. जी. एफ. को रकी बन्ने सपना थियो, म के बनेँ ? हाउसफुल ४ को बाला हुन पुगेँ म । जब मेरो कपाल खौरन थालियाे, मैले मेरो कपालसँग बिताएका समयको सम्झना गर्दा विगत २ वर्षको सम्झना मेरो आँखाअगाडि चम्कियो । म कसरी दुःखी नहुनु ? मेरो कपाल मसँग महामारीभर थियो ।

ठिकै छ । मलाई लाग्छ, सबै ठिक हुने छ । कम्तीमा मसँग त्यो लामो कपालबाट बनेको टुप्पी छ । मात्रामा थोरै कपाल भए पनि, म यो टुप्पीलाई कहिल्यै काट्ने छैनँ र बढ्न सकुन्जेल यसलाई बढ्न दिने वाचा गर्छु ।

आमा
- Umanga Khatiwada - 23047, Gra ... 05 April, 2022

नौ महिनासम्म गर्भमा राखी जन्म दियौ मलाई 

कयौँ पल दु:ख सही सुख दियौ मलाई

जीवनको बाटो कस्तो भनी देखाइदियाै मलाई

दु:ख, कष्टमा हिँड्न सिकायाै मलाई । 


कोख नै कोख गरी खाना खुवाई बाँच्न सिकायाै मलाई

जीवनका हरेक पलसँग जुधेर नाच्न सिकायाै मलाई

तिम्रा ती कोमल हात मेरा शिरमा राखी, खुसी बनायाै मन मेरो 

मेरा लागि भन्दा भन्दै खुसी खोस्याै आफैँले आफ्नाे । 


मैले कहिले सोचिनँ, तिमीले मलाई माया गर्छ्याै, 

लाग्थ्यो, मलाई तिमीले जहिले गाली मात्र गर्थ्याै,

अलि अलि गर्दा गर्दै हुर्काइदियाै मलाई 

मनमा हरेक पिर बोकी खुसी दियाै मलाई ।


तिमी कति महान् छौ, हर्ष दिन्छौ अरूलाई

दु:ख जति तिम्रो थियो, खुसी जति मलाई

तर त्यति बेला नबुझे पनि अहिले भने मैले बुझेको छु, 

आफ्नो लागि बाटो पनि अर्कै कोरेको छु । 


त्यही भएर मैले तिम्रो सम्झना गरिरहेछु, 

तिम्रै यादमा हरेक पल बाँचेर पनि मरिरहेछु ।
