ईश्वरकै भरमा सारा नेपाली जब बाँच्दछन्,
कर्म जीवन हो हाम्रो कर्ममै सब बाँच्दछन्,
नेपालीहरू नै आज नेपालीलाई ढाँट्दछन्,
सभा, भाषण हेर्यो, सबै नैतिक बोल्दछन्,
व्यवहारमा हेर सबै नैतिकता फाल्दछन् ।
देश यो अब बन्ला भन्ने निश्चय नै त्यो
हाम्रो दुर्भाग्य नै होला आशा सारा धुलो भयो,
कोपिला ठन्डीमा फुल्न सक्दैन त्यो कसै गरे,
राष्ट्रमा यो प्रजातन्त्र नफुल्ला है कतै भरे !
वासन्ती रापले पुष्प कोपिला फक्री फुल्दछ,
सत्कर्म गरे देश सधैँ अघि बढ्दछ,
आशा आमा यही गर्छिन् कता मलाई हेर्दछन् ?
फर्की फर्की सबै हेर्छिन् कसले मलाई ढोग्दछन् ।
आफैँमा खुम्चिँदै, सोच्दै आफैँमा पुत्र रम्दछ,
आफैँमा सुखशान्तिको तानाबाना बनाउँछ,
केवल आफन्तकै लागि सुखाशान्तिमै रम्दछ,
आमाको रूप सम्झेर एक क्षण त डराउँछ,
तुरुन्त सबै बिर्सेर झुटाे नारा लगाउँछ,
सदैव जनतालाई सकेसम्म छक्याउँछ ।
सुस्केरा छटपटी गर्दै सम्झिँदै ती सपुतका
सुकेका छैनन्, भन्छिन् रुँदै आमा रगत सहिदका
समस्त सृष्टिको सुन्दर मनवमूल्य गयो कता ?
यस्तै छ देशको चाला, के भनूँ म कसलाई ?
आखिर के भनूँ म कसलाई ?
जुन दिनदेखि मैले तिमीलाई
कालो रङ्गको लुगामा देखेँ,
चिटिक्क परेको तिम्रो कपालमा देखेँ,
मलाई कालो रङ्ग मन पर्न थाल्यो ।
जब तिम्रो हँसिलो मुहारमा
रसिलो गुलाबी ओठ देखेँ,
मलाई गुलाबी रङ्ग मन पर्न थाल्यो ।
मलाई रङ्गको पहिचान तिमीबाट भयो,
मैले सयथरीका रङ्ग देखेँ,
मलाई रङ्ग मन पर्न थाल्यो ।
I wanted to kill myself
But never could
I wanted to live a good life
But never could
As if the prophecy came to an end
But it never did in my mind.
How does this finish?
How does this end?
Am I again taking a day off?
How do I take this guilt away?
Never wanting to return to this world
Never wanting to live again.
The feeling arises as the clock ticks
Replaying some fine memories
Making me smile stupidly
Hope these remain even if I vanish away.
As we all know, on 24th February, 2022 Thursday, The Russian Federation announced war on Ukraine. I won’t go into why the war was initiated and the history related to this all as all of us are people who have connections to the internet and the news sources and we know the basic things that are related with this.
Starting off, Twitter. Never in my life have I seen so many cringe posts related to the current topic. Unrelated people are posting whatever they like without much knowledge of what the real scenario actually is. People who can only scold verbally sitting behind their computer cozily with things like the explosion of the chinese oil refinery with tags such as “Nukes were detonated in Ukraine” which over a 1000 people believed.
Not only on twitter, various social media personalities also started talking about this which I found genuine until some went over the line by dressing up as Military personnel and wrote “They will fight for Ukraine” which all I think is their way of marketing and winning fans with their “Good Deed”. Politicians all around the world only spoke about how it will affect the world while not actually providing help until some hours later.
I don’t even want to talk about the UNO as till now I have not seen any articles about them except for an “Emergency” meeting minutes after the announcement of the invasion. Another thing to be addressed is memes and unnecessary posts. Scrolling down the Twitter trending feed of the tags like #Putin, #Ukraine, I see some really money hungry people posting “Retweets for Putin, Like for Zelensky”. People are dying and here users are thinking about how to gain followers instantly. The amount of marketing and attention seeking posts and articles I have seen is outrageous.
Praying for Ukraine is fine and all, but telling Putin to “Stop War” is probably the most stupid thing people have done. That man has not given even the slightest thought towards these people, he doesn't care at all as he is extremely serious about this conflict.
Going to who is right and wrong, no one is wrong and no one is right. Even though people say Putin is the villain of this story I believe it to be false. There is no such thing as this story. There is only My Story and Your Story of life. Almost all people think Putin is the villain of their own story because they believe it to be true. But what about Putin, in his own version of the story, he is a hero because he thinks that what he is doing is a heroic deed.
Going back to the countries who have shown interest in this matter, I must say that my respect for China has soared. Till now I have not even seen a single country who has openly sided with Russia, this also includes China. But why did my respect for this country soared even though I hate their Nationalism and thought process of “China Number One”? It is because while others were blaming Russia, China did not call this “invasion” and invasion while openly blaming the US for this. I couldn't care less about NATO because all they have done till now is waste time trying to talk peace with Putin even though it is 100% clear from Putin’s attitude that he is not “Talking” in this conflict.
Finally, the dumbest thing of it all is that even though Putin has openly warned that any countries interfering will meet with serious consequences, world leaders without a care of their citizens are openly helping the Ukrainians. I am not against helping Ukrainians but they should have considered the consequences because now Putin has ordered the use of Nukes and Nuclear Weapons if the West starts to interfere further which taken into the context of WW2, is a bad idea.
They should have done their research as the military power of Russia is second to US only and who knows what unrevealed powers this Huge country has couple with the “Help” Xi Jinping will aim to provide to strengthen China’s ties with Russia and maybe the support of North Korea, this may very well lead to a war with 4 alliances, The above mentioned, The Japanese-German alliance, The US alliance and The UK alliance with a single neutral alliance with possible India being the representative unless India decides to side with Russia which is highly unlikely with the involvement of China.
मलाई थाहा छैन कि म निद्रामा छु
वा यो हुनका लागि मात्र पर्खिरहेकी छु ?
मेराे कमजोरी
र मेरो सानो गोप्य कारणले
मेरो दु:ख नदेखेकोबाहेक
म के भन्न सक्छु ?
फलस्वरूप
कृपया वरिपरि घुमाउनुहोस्,
म आँखा खोल्न सक्दिनँ,
किनकि म आँसुको सामना गर्छु,
सुनिश्चित गर्नुहोस्,
कि तपाईंले शान्त भनेको
तपाईंको आवाजले
के भन्नुहुन्छ भन्ने प्रतिक्रियाको सट्टा
सचेत निर्णय होस् ।
कृपया आफैँमाथि दयालु हुनुहोस्,
तपाईं सक्दो प्रयास गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ,
याद गर्नुहोस् कि डर झुटो हो,
जब तपाईंको छाती दुख्छ
र तपाईंको दिमाग
तपाईंको अधिकांश गल्ती
र कमजोरीहरूसँग पौडिरहेको छ,
र तपाईंले आफ्नो खुट्टा फेला पार्न सक्नुहुन्न ।
तपाईं पहिले यहाँ आउनुभएको छ,
र तपाईं फेरि सास फेर्न सक्षम हुनुहुने छ,
ध्यान राख्नुहोस् कि तपाईं पर्याप्त हुनुहुन्छ,
पर्याप्त सधैँ पर्याप्त छ ।
त्यो गहिराइमा पुगेर
खोल्नु छ सबै ढोकाहरू
उड्नु छ माथि माथि
कोही, कसैले नछुने गरी ।
समयको बोध नगरी
कसैको कुरामा ध्यान नदिई
बुझ्नु छ सारा जिन्दगी ।
चिलजस्तै बाँच्नु छ,
शब्दको सिकार गरेर
पानीजस्तै बग्नु छ,
आफ्नो बाटामा निरन्तर
निश्चल निश्चल, कोमल कोमल ।
हुनु छैन संसारको मलाई
केवल मेरो संसारको
एकलौटी राजा हुनु छ,
संसार अनौठो छ,
र त मलाई मेरो हुनु छ ।
भ्रमको दायरा तोडेर
उठ्नु छ माथि माथि
जस्तै सडकले यात्री भुल्ला, नभुल्ला,
यात्रीले सडक भुल्नुहुन्न,
भन्दै छु, यथार्थ भन्नुहुन्न ।
कफीको तातो बाफजस्तै छ जिन्दगी
घोडाको लगामजस्तै छ जिन्दगी
घिस्रिँदा घिस्रिँदै
कुन मोडमा सेलाउँछ,
पत्तै हुन्न ।
धर्मले बाँधेको छ,
कर्मले साँधेको छ,
अबोध अबोध छ,
याे जिन्दगी
त्यसैले मलाई उड्नु छ ।
धेरै मान्छे भेटेको छु,
तर तिमीजस्तो कोही छैन,
माया के हो जान्न खोजेँ,
के तिमीलाई यसमा चासो छैन ?
आऊ, सँगै पत्ता लगाऔँ,
माया साँच्चै के पो रै’छ ?
अरूको मायाप्रीतिमा
मान्छे कसरी डुब्दो रै’छ ?
एक्लै हिँडेँ उत्तर खोज्न,
तिमीलाई बाटामा भेटेँ,
भेटेपछि तिमीलाई
एक्लै हिँड्ने विचार मेटेँ ।
सायद तिमीलाई उत्तर थाहा छ,
वा सायद तिमी नै मेरी उत्तर हौ,
माया के हो ? पत्ता लगाउने क्रममा
आफ्नो आँखामा मलाई डुबाउँदै छौ ।
तिमीसँग केही समय बिताएँ,
अब जवाफ चाहिँदैन मलाई
एउटा कुरामात्र माग्छु तिमीसँग,
नजानू एक्लै छोडेर मायाको झिल्को जलाई ।
Deep in The Amazon jungle lies the Yasuni national park, Packed within an average hectare of this dense, steamy rainforest there are more species of tree than the US and Canada combined, as well as 150 types of amphibian and an estimated 100000 insect species (According to recent research).There are different life forms in Yasuni than anywhere else in South America. It’s hard to get very far, because every few minutes you see or hear something new, says Matt Finer, staff ecologist at Save America’s Forests. Yasuni may well be the most biodiverse place in the World. If Yasuni does indeed hold this title, its tropical location will come as no surprise to biologists. The tropics boast more than ten times as many species of animal and plant as the Arctic, with diversity steadily as you approach the poles. This gradient holds true for both land and the ocean depths. The big question is why? What is it about the tropics that fosters biodiversity? It is a mystery that has puzzled biologists for decades. Yasuni might help us find an answer.
According to one classic theory, the reason is that there is more habitable space around the Equator than at the poles. On the face of it, this seems to make sense. The tropics encompasses an area nearly five times the size of the Earth’s polar regions, and there is evidence that habitable space is correlated with the number of species on land. Research in the ocean tells a different story, however. David Jablonski of the University of Chicago, and his colleagues are involved in long term study of living and fossil marine bivalves, a group including oysters and mussels. Looking at the present day biodiversity patterns in 4000 bivalve species, they have found no relationship between habitable area and the number of bivalve species. Habitable areas just don't explain marine biodiversity gradients,’Jablonski says. Perhaps biodiversity at sea and land are governed by different rules. The traditional explanation patterns of marine biodiversity is known as Rapoport’s rule. The idea here is that ocean- dwelling species in the tropics are very sensitive to temperature, so are restricted to small ranges where the water is just right, whereas species in cooler waters can tolerate a broader range of temperatures so spread out. This could explain why large numbers of species are packed together in the tropics, but it doesn’t seem to hold consistency. ‘There are more exceptions to this rule than strong examples,’ says Jablonski,’which means it’s not much of a rule.’ So what are the alternatives? Some of the researchers have argued that speciation rates both terrestrial and marine, could be much higher in the tropics, making them a ‘cradle’ of biodiversity. Others have suggested that extinction rates are a decisive factor, with species less likely to become extinct near the equator than at higher latitudes, making the tropic a ‘museum’ of biodiversity.
To tease out the alternatives, Jablonski and his colleagues focused on three key factors: the rate at which species have evolved in any given location, the local extinction rate, and the immigration rate of new species. They found that three quarters of marine bivalve genera existing today evolved in the tropics then spread out towards the poles, while also remaining in their original habitat. So the tropics are a cradle of biodiversity. But that’s not all. There are also a number of old genera in the tropics indicating rates are lower in the tropics than in cooler regions. So the tropics are also a museum of biodiversity. The team concluded that their findings support an ‘out of tropics’ theory to explain and found more evidence that the tropics are both a cradle and a museum of biodiversity.
Everybody in this world does something which helps to overcome the boredom in life. Life is full of stress, pressure and anxiety. Everybody in this world is pressured by their hectic schedule, job holders have the pressure of work, students have the pressure of their studies, assignments and exams. In fact our life is in one sense boring and dull, to get rid of this one needs to have some entertainment that will lead life further. What is entertainment then? Entertainment can be taken as any form of activity that holds the attention and interest of people and gives some pleasure. Entertainment will add spice to the bored and dull life.
Entertainment can be of any type depending on the choices of the individuals. Some like to binge-watch tv shows, some like to travel or listen to music. It helps to relax the tiring mind and also it gives new energy to work harder in the next phase of work. We all have been attached to some form of entertainment daily whether it be the music we listen to daily or the show we watch, reading books or even traveling, cooking or eating. It is aimed at affecting us in a good or bad way. Magazines aimed to follow the trends and style and buy the product they advertise. It can also influence our thoughts and opinions from the shows or the news we watch.
The form or means of entertainment has changed a lot. In ancient times, people used to enjoy themselves through dramas, dance, songs, or animal hunts. As time passed, science and technology have given us a lot of means of entertainment. People can play egames, watch tv shows and movies, and listen to songs just in one click. It has provided more easy access to entertainment.
Therefore, Entertainment is the most essential in our life. Without it, these people can’t have a productive and happy life. It makes us more active and joyful.
हिजो भर्खरै कलेजको खोजीमा भएजस्तै लाग्छ तर अब भने १ महिनापछि कलेज सकिन नै लागेको छ । समय कति छिटो बित्छ थाहा नै पाइँदैन । पहिला सुन्ने गरिन्थ्यो कि कलेज पुगेपछि शिक्षकहरूले विद्यार्थीको केही मतलब गर्दैनन् । कक्षाकार्य, गृहकार्यहरू पनि बुझाउनु आवश्यक हुँदैन तर मैले यस्ता कुराहरू केही पनि भोग्नु परेन । मैले पढेको कलेजमा शिक्षकहरूले पढाइसम्बन्धी कुराहरू र अरू बाहिरी ज्ञान दुईटै राम्ररी बुझाउनुहुन्छ ।
कलेजमा पहिलो प्राथमिकता दिने भनेकै हाम्रो पढाइ हो । हामी कलेज आउनुको मुख्य कारण पनि पढ्नलाई नै हो तर पढाइका साथसाथै अरू धेरै कुराहरू सिक्न पाउँछौँ, जुन हामी र हाम्रो भविष्यलाई उज्यालो बनाउन सहयोग गर्छ । याे कलेजबाट २ वर्षमै धेरै नयाँ कुराहरू सिक्न पाएँ । पहिला कहिले लेखजस्ता कुराहरू लेख्ने अनुभव गरेको थिइनँ । यहाँ आएपछि लेख लेख्ने तरिकाहरू सिक्न पाएँ र हरेक महिना लेख्ने पालाे परेकाले मेरो लेखन पहिलेभन्दा एकदम राम्रो भएको छ । यसले लेख राम्रो पार्नेमात्र नभई हाम्रो सोच्ने शक्ति पनि बढाउँछ त्यसैले अब लेख्ने भनेपछि मलाई एकदम रमाइलो लाग्छ ।
अर्को कुरा, याे कलेजले मलाई सिकाएको भनेको किताब पढ्न हो । पहिला मलाई किताब पढ्नजस्तो अल्छीलाग्दो काम अरू केही होइनजस्तो लाग्थ्यो तर यहाँ हरेक महिना दुईवटा नयाँ नयाँ किताबहरू पढ्नु परेकाले मलाई पढ्ने बानी लागेको छ । सुरुका केही महिना त गाह्राे नै भएको थियो । कहिले नपढिरहेको एकैचोटि पढ्नुपर्दा आत्तिएको पनि थिएँ तर बिस्तारै बानी हुँदै गयो र मलाई रमाइलो पनि लाग्यो । किताब पढ्नाकाे महत्त्व पनि बुझेँ । हामी किताबको हरेक पानामा नयाँ कुरा सिक्न पाउँछौँ । यसरी हामीले दिनदिनै एउटा नयाँ कुरा थाहा पाउँदा ज्ञान पनि बढ्छ । हामीले किताब पढेपछि त्यसकाे समीक्षा पनि लेख्नुपर्छ । यो लेख्न किताब पढ्नु जरुरी भएकाले किताब पढ्ने बानी छिटै लागेको पनि हुन सक्छ । अहिले त हरेक महिना कहिले नयाँ किताब पाउँला भन्ने पर्खाइमा हुन्छु।
अर्को राम्रो कुरा याे कलेजबाट सिक्न पाएको भनेको भिडमा गएर बोल्नु हो । प्रत्येक हप्ता हाम्रो डिएसएस टक हुन्छ । यसमा हामीले सबैको अगाडि गएर बोल्नुपर्ने हुन्छ । पहिला त बोल्नु पर्याे कि एकदमै डर लाग्थ्यो । सबैका अगाडि बोल्ने हिम्मत पनि आउँदैनथ्यो तर यहाँ हरेक हप्ता बोल्नुपर्ने भएकाले अहिले त्यस्तो डर भन्ने केही लाग्दैन । सुरु सुरुमा त मेरो बोल्ने पालो कहिले नआओस्जस्तो हुन्थ्यो । अगाडि गएर बोल्न सक्छु कि सक्दिनँ भनेर शङ्का लाग्थ्यो । पहिलो चोटि त त्यस्तो राम्रो पनि भएन । बोल्नुपर्ने आधा कुराहरू बिर्सेर धेरै बोलिनँ । त्यस्तो भएको मुख्य कारण नै डर थियो तर गल्ती भए पनि सिक्दै गएँ र अब भने निडर भएर बोल्न सक्छु । यस्ताे डर हामी आफैँले मन र मस्तिष्कमा बनाउने रहेछाैँ भन्ने पनि थाहा पाएँ । जब यो डर मैले आफूबाट निकालेँ, त्यस दिनदेखि बोल्न सक्छु भन्ने विश्वास भयो र बाेल्ने बानी पनि पर्यो ।
याे कलेजबाट मैले धेरै कुराहरू सिक्न पाएँ । पहिला आउँदा यी कुराहरूका बारेमा धेरै जानकारी थिएन तर आहिले यी कुराहरूमा धेरै सुधार आएको छ । यी २ वर्षमा मैले आफ्नो भविष्य राम्रो बनाउन सहयोग हुने कुराहरू सिक्न पाएँ र यस कलेजमा पढ्ने निर्णय गरेकामा म एकदमै खुसी छु । यहाँ बनाएका साथीहरू पनि एकदमै राम्रा छन् । साथीहरूसँग बनाएका सम्झनाहरू कहिले बिर्सन सक्दिनँ । शिक्षकहरूले पनि हाम्रा हरेक कुरामा सहयोग गर्नुहुन्छ । उहाँहरूले पढाइका साथसाथै अरू कुराहरूको पनि ज्ञान दिनुहुन्छ । यहाँ पढाइका साथसाथै अतिरिक्त क्रियाकलापमा पनि त्यति नै महत्त्व दिइन्छ । त्यसैले यहाँबाट मैले पढाइको मात्र ज्ञान प्राप्त नगरी अन्य कुराहरूको बारेमा पनि त्यतिकै सिक्न पाएकी छु ।
अङ्ग्रेजी एक अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय भाषा हो । यो संसारभर बोलिन्छ । यो बेलायत, संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका, क्यानडा र अस्ट्रेलियामा मातृभाषाका रूपमा बोलिन्छ तर यो संसारका धेरै देशहरूमा विदेशी भाषाका रूपमा सिकिन्छ । यो विभिन्न राष्ट्रियताका मानिसहरूबिच सञ्चारको साझा माध्यम हो । यसलाई विश्वका धेरै देशहरूमा आधिकारिक भाषाका रूपमा प्रयोग गरिन्छ । विश्वका आधाभन्दा बढी पुस्तक अङ्ग्रेजीमा लेखिएका छन् ।
यो प्रस्ट सत्यलाई बुझ्दै विश्वका प्रायः सबै देशले आफ्नो विद्यालय र कलेजका पाठ्यक्रममा अङ्ग्रेजी विषय समावेश गरेका छन् । अङ्ग्रेजीको राम्रो ज्ञान भएको व्यक्तिले स्वदेश तथा विदेशमा राम्रो जागिर पाउन सक्छ । उच्च शिक्षा प्राप्त गर्न चाहनेहरूका लागि अङ्ग्रेजी अनिवार्य छ । अङ्ग्रेजी राम्रो जान्ने व्यक्तिले विश्वव्यापी पहुँच पाउन सक्छ । अङ्ग्रेजी अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय सम्मेलन, कार्यशाला, सेमिनार र वार्ता कार्यक्रमहरूमा सञ्चारको माध्यम हो । यसले हाम्रो दिमागलाई फराकिलो बनाउँछ र हामीलाई सम्पूर्ण विश्व बुझ्न मद्दत गर्छ ।अङ्ग्रेजी भाषामा राम्रो पकड भएको मानिसलाई योग्य, समाजमा उच्च प्रतिष्ठा कमाएको व्यक्तिका रूपमा, उच्च सामाजिक हैसियत भएको व्यक्तिका रूपमा मान्यता दिइन्छ । धेरै अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय संस्थाहरूको भाषा अङ्ग्रेजी हो ।
अन्त्यमा, यो यस्ताे कुञ्जी हो जसले तपाईंलाई सामान्य संसारबाट बाहिर निकाल्छ र विज्ञान र प्रविधिको संसारमा प्रवेश गर्न दिन्छ । यो पासपोर्टजस्तै हो, जसले तपाईंलाई संसारभर यात्रा गर्ने अनुमति दिन्छ । यो त्यो झ्याल हो जसबाट सारा संसारलाई हेर्न सकिन्छ, त्यसैले मेरो विचारमा यसलाई देशभर व्यापक र अनिवार्य रूपमा पढाइनुपर्छ ।
Oh, dear life!
Why are you so rare,
Like a bottled wish on a seashore?
Why are you so sacred,
But so sinful at the same time?
Why are you so wretched,
But oh so precious like a mother’s warmth?
Why are you so holy,
Like the north star?
Why are you so bitter,
Like burnt tar?
Why are you sweet,
Like cherry wine?
People say,
“Life is nothing
Life- A Mystery
But, the wait for death
Either of own,
Or others around.”
I ask,
“Can you offer me redemption?
For I have been washed,
Washed in the tide of Devil’s breath.
Wishing a little pain
For the ones I hate.”
Or, is it you?
Making me feel so selfish,
Like a shrike
Killing its prey
On a thorn bed.
You are a mystery to me,
Figuring you out is what I live for.
Forced upon to live you,
By being brought to this world.
Oh, but you make me so happy!
With your tricks and magic.
However, it’s only you who is defined as tragic.
Tell me,
Are you beautiful or vile?
Are you the reason for the orphan kid’s small smile?
Whatever you are,
I believe you to be the greatest gift
Tightly wrapped in a small dark packet called life.
