A person should never be judged by a person's external appearances. The looks do not always reflect the way we are. We can make a lot of mistakes when we let the external appearance describe everything about a person. We are all not born similar, we are all different from each other so we look different than each other.
It is true that we might be able to tell some outward qualities but we can never tell what a person is like from the inside just from his/her looks. The way we dress, the way we make our hairstyle different, the way we express our mood are all different and even different at a certain time as always. Maybe someone just likes to wear baggy clothes or someone likes to wear some tight clothes and that’s perfectly normal and it does not whatsoever describe a person’s personality. At first sight, one can describe someone in a completely different way than what they turn out to be when you get to know them well. Some people even have two faces meaning they tend to act differently around people and differently when they are alone of not with their friends or family, Some people who wear extra fashionable clothes are not always just spoiled people who don’t value their money, At first sight we just think that they don’t value their money and start to tell how careless they are but we never know how the person really is. Maybe he/she just likes to wear fashionable clothes or they just have an interest in fashion and stuff. Same goes with the people who don’t like to dress well on any occasion and they just like to be casual, that does not mean they don’t have the money to afford expensive and fashionable clothes but rather they just don’t mind about such type of stuff. Well it cannot be denied that appearance can make so much difference when meeting someone, everywhere we have heard that our first impression must be good to let people know that we are well mannered. And that is somehow true as we don’t want to lose interview with an unironed shirt or a bunch of holes in the clothes as that makes us not really interested in the job. Well that is what people will think but we again never know the limits of the person, who knows maybe he who got rejected from the job who was just not dressed well will make a huge impact on the other companies and become more successful. So that’s an example of why we shouldn’t just judge someone's quality from their appearance. We have had experiences about these things, like remembering the friends now that you had made back in the days, Did you think they were different? Did you think they turned out to be something else? Or did it just turn out to be exactly what you thought? And we had surely gotten something different from what we thought they might have been.
It is fine to think or make assumptions in our minds but we should never say it out loud, as we don’t know the other person like what is going on with his life and what he wants all we wanna know is if the person has a good mindset and the passion or does he not by his behavior and not his appearance.
सबथोक भएर पनि नभएझैँ लाग्छ,
जिन्दगी चलचित्रको कथाझैँ लाग्छ ।
तिमीले जितेर मेरो हार भए पनि
ममाथि अन्यायको प्रहार भएझैँ लाग्छ ।
यो दिलमा यादहरू यति धेरै छन् कि
दिल पनि यादहरूको डेरा भएझैँ लाग्छ ।
आफ्नो भन्नेले पनि ममाथि घात गर्दा
मलाई सम्हाल्ने आफ्नै परिवार मात्रै भएझैँ लाग्छ ।
कालो बादल र कडा हावाको बिचमा पनि
इन्द्रेणीले हामीलाई अझै
सुन्दरता जीवित छ भनेर सम्झाउँछ,
जीवन इन्द्रेणीजस्तै हो,
यसको रङ्ग हेर्न
तपाईंलाई घाम र वर्षा दुवै चाहिन्छ ।
सबैजना खुसी हुन चाहन्छन्,
कसैलाई पीडा मन पर्दैन,
तर पनि अलिकति पीडाबिना
इन्द्रेणी बन्न सक्दैन ।
तपाईंलाई इन्द्रेणीले देखेको छ,
जसलाई सामान्यतया प्रेमको रङ्ग भनिन्छ,
र जब तपाईं र तपाईंको विशेष साथीले
अन्तत भेट्नुहुन्छ,
तपाईं एकसाथ
आत्मीय पुनर्मिलनमा समाहित हुनुहुन्छ,
फेरि कहिल्यै अलग हुनुहुन्न ।
यदि तपाईंले तल हेर्नुभयो भने
तपाईंले इन्द्रेणी कहिल्यै देख्नुहुने छैन ।
परमेश्वरले आफ्ना प्रतिज्ञाहरू कायम राख्नुहुन्छ,
जुन इन्द्रेणीको वास्तविक अर्थ हो ।
Humans have been fighting each other for power and have engaged in numerous wars and battles in order to survive or to prove that they are the strongest for long. This prompted humans to devise a plethora of strategies for defeating the enemy. One of these methods was the development of firearms. It all started with the creation of arrows, daggers, and even fatal toxins extracted from animals, all for the purpose of causing pain. Whether the target was an enemy or an obstacle to their goal. Despite the presence of biological weapons since ancient times, man has invented so-called biological weapons thanks to technological advancements in the twentieth century, but biological warfare has reached its highest and most dangerous level since the twentieth century.
Biological agents are extremely powerful and effective weapons, but the damage they cause is far more dangerous than most people realize. BioWeapons can have a long-term impact on living organisms, destroying ecosystems and causing genetic defects in future generations. Regardless of how dangerous BioWeapons are, their use is also immoral and anti-human. Bacteria, viruses, and other disease-causing agents are examples of biological weapons. Often used in wars between countries, these agents aim to harm, injure, or kill the enemy or target. These agents can be used to harm specific people or a specific country or city.
Biological weapons, in my opinion, should be prohibited. International efforts and the medical community should work together to set moral boundaries for some of these research projects that develop lethal weapons. Furthermore, the media must raise public awareness of the dangers of biological weapons and demonstrate how to deal with them or respond if a biological agent attack occurs.
I remember the time I was all alone
In a faraway land, unknown.
Then you came along and lend me a hand
For I was nothing but a girl, canned.
A girl, canned with scars from below
You took my hand and made a vow of never letting go.
Then you taught me what life and its beauty is
And you made me forget my pain and past with ease.
You found me in my darkest hours, down on my knees
Yet you accepted me with no difficulties.
And now I take a vow, for my dear friend
To stay with you till the very end.
अनुराधा कोइराला, जसलाई मायाले दिज्जु (जेठी दिदी) भनिन्छ, उनको जन्म १४ अप्रिल १९४९ मा भएको थियो । उनका बुबाको नाम प्रताप गुरुङ र आमाको नाम लक्ष्मी गुरुङ हो । उनले भारतको कलिम्पोङको हिलस्टेसनमा पढेकी थिइन् । यही सेन्ट जोसेफ कन्भेन्ट स्कुलका आमा र दिदीबहिनीहरूले उनको सामाजिक कार्यप्रतिको सम्पर्णलाई अझ बढाए ।
मदर टेरेसा सधैँ उनको प्रेरणाको सबैभन्दा ठुलो स्रोतका रूपमा रहिन् । उनले काठमाडौँ वरपरका विभिन्न विद्यालयमा बालबालिकालाई पढाउन २० वर्षभन्दा बढी समय बिताइन् । यद्यपि यसले उनमा ठुलो सन्तुष्टि ल्याए पनि उनले महसुस गरिन् कि उनीसँग पूरा गर्न ठुलो व्यक्तिगत इच्छा छ । व्यावसायिक यौन शोषणका लागि नेपालभित्र र बाहिर बालबालिका, युवती र महिला बेचबिखन हुने गरेको छ । तसर्थ, सन् १९९३ मा उनले असह्य पीडा सहने बालबालिका र महिला दुवैका लागि सेवा प्रदान गर्ने उद्देश्यले माइती नेपालकाे स्थापना गरिन् ।
माइती नेपालको स्थापना गरेपछि उनी मानवताको सेवामा लागिन् । उनको पहिलो काम घर बनाउनु थियो, जसले गर्दा उनले अरू कतै काेही नभएका मानिसहरूलाई बास प्रदान गर्न सकुन् । अहिले माइती नेपालसँग तीन रोकथाम गृह, ११ ट्रान्जिट होम, २ धर्मशाला र एउटा औपचारिक विद्यालय छ । माइती नेपालबाट दैनिक एक हजारभन्दा बढी बालबालिकाहरूले प्रत्यक्ष्य सेवा लिइरहेका छन् । यो सबै उनको दृढ सङ्कल्प र अभूतपूर्व नेतृत्वले गर्दा सम्भव भएको हो ।
माइती नेपालले आज धेरै प्रकारका गतिविधिहरू सञ्चालन गर्दछ । सचेतना अभियान, सामुदायिक सचेतना कार्यक्रम, उद्दार कार्य, बेचबिखन नियन्त्रण, समस्यामा परेकालाई कानुनी सहयोग, महिला सशक्तीकरण कार्यक्रम, तालिम, एचआइभी सङ्क्रमित बालबालिका तथा महिलालाई एन्टी रेट्रो भिराल थेरापी (एआरटी) उपलब्ध गराउनेजस्ता गतिविधि माइती नेपालका नियमित गतिविधि हुन् ।
अनुराधा कोइरालाले बालबालिका तथा महिला अधिकारका लागि गरेको साहसी कार्य र उपलब्धिको कदर गर्दै हालसम्म ३८ वटा राष्ट्रिय तथा अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय पुरस्कारहरूबाट सम्मानित भइसकेकी छिन् । केही राष्ट्रिय र अन्तरार्ष्ट्रिय पुरस्कारहरू निम्नलिखित छन्: प्रबल गोर्खा दक्षिण बहु पदक - नेपाल १९९९, त्रिशाक्तिपट्ट पुरस्कार २००२, वर्षको उत्कृष्ट सामाजिक कार्यकर्ता पुरस्कार - नेपाल १९९८, जर्मन युनिफेम पुरस्कार २००७, क्विन सोफिया सिल्भर मोडल अवार्ड २००७, करेज अफ कन्सिनेन्स आदि । उनको निरन्तर सङ्घर्षको कारणले नेपाल सरकारले अब सेप्टेम्बेर ५ लाई बेचबिखनविरुद्ध दिवसका रूपमा मान्यता दिएको छ । अनुराधा कोइरालालाई उनको योगदानको कदरस्वरूप महिला बालबालिका तथा समाज कल्याण राज्यमन्त्रीमा पनि नियुक्त गरिएको थियो ।
उनलाई बच्चाहरूसँग समय बिताउन मन पर्छ । उनी आत्मप्रेरित व्यक्ति हुन्, जसले सामूहिक वातावरणमा वा स्वतन्त्र रूपमा नेतृत्वदायी भूमिकाका साथ नयाँ र गतिशील चुनौतीहरूको स्वाद लिन्छिन् ।
सन् २०२० मा उनी सिएनएन हिरो घोषित भएकी थिइन् । यो मानव बेचबिखनको सामाजिक खराबीसँग लड्नु उनको सङ्घर्ष र करुणाको परिणाम थियो । सिएनएन नायकको रूपमा उनको जित राष्ट्रको लागि गौरव र सम्मान हो ।
नेपाल चाडपर्वहरूमा धनी देश हाे । संस्कृति र सम्पदा नै हाम्रो पहिचान हो । हामी नेपालीहरू हाम्रा चाडपर्व बडो धुमधामसँग सपरिवार बसेर मनाउने गर्छौं । यस्तै चाडपर्वमध्ये माघ महिनामा पर्ने अर्थात् माघ १ गते ‘मकर सङ्क्रान्ति’ पर्व मनाइन्छ । माघ महिनालाई मध्य हिउँद पनि भनिन्छ ।
माघ १ गते अर्थात् माघे सङ्क्रान्तिदेखि सूर्य उत्तरायणमा हुन्छ । उत्तरायणको दिन लामो र रात छाेटाे हुन्छ । ऋतु परिवर्तन हुने र राशि पनि परिवर्तन हुने सूर्य धनु राशिबाट मकर राशिमा प्रवेश गर्ने सङ्क्रान्ति माघे सङ्क्रान्ति हामी धुमधामसँग मनाउँछौँ । माघ १ गते अर्थात् माघे सङ्क्रान्तिको दिन धार्मिक दृष्टिले धार्मिक स्नान अर्थात् बिहानै स्नान गरिन्छ । स्नानपछि भगवान् सूर्य, शङ्कर र विष्णु भगवान्को पूजा गरिन्छ ।
माघे सङ्क्रान्ति मध्य जाडोको बेला हो । यस्तो बेलामा शरीरलाई तातो बनाइराख्नु जरुरी हुन्छ । माघे सङ्क्रान्तिमा घिउ, चाकु, तरुल आदि शरीरलाई आवश्यक पौष्टिक तत्त्व भएका खानाहरू खाइन्छन् । यो बेला शरीरलाई एकदम स्वस्थ राख्न यस्ता स्वास्थ्यवर्धक खानेकुराहरू खाइने गर्दछन् । घाममा बसेर टाउकाका साथै शरीरभरि पनि तेल लगाउने चलन पनि छ । हाम्रो संस्कृति, हाम्रो परम्पराले हरेक चाडपर्वहरूको धार्मिक एवम् वैचारिक विशेषताहरू र सिद्धान्तहरू अँगालेको पाइन्छ, जस्तोः माघे सङ्क्रान्तिमा तिल, चाकु, घिउ, तरुल, पालुङ्गाेको साग, माघ महिनामा भगवान्लाई चढाएको राम्रो र आफूहरूले पनि खानु स्वास्थ्यका लागि राम्रो मानिन्छ । अनि वैज्ञानिक दृष्टिकाेणबाट हेर्ने हो भने माघ महिनामा जाडोले गर्दा हाम्रो शरीर चिसोका कारण धेरै कमजाेर भइरहेको हुन्छ । कमजाेर भएकाे शरीरलाई पौष्टिक तत्त्वहरू खाएर, तातो दिने वस्तुहरू खाएर बलियो बनाउन घिउ, चाकु, तिल, तरुलजस्ता खाना खाइन्छन् ।
माघे सङ्क्रान्तिको दिन पर्वत, स्याङ्जा र गुल्मीकाे सङ्गममा अवस्थित सेतीवेनी धाममा धुमधामसँग मेला लाग्छ । मकर सङ्क्रान्तिको दिन त्रिवेणीहरूमा ठुलो मेला लाग्दछ । नारायणको धुमधामसँग पूजा हुन्छ र भजन गाई याे पर्व रमाइलो गरी मनाइन्छ ।
सङ्क्रान्तिकाे दिनमा सक्नेले दीनदुखीहरूलाई न्यानो वस्त्र तथा खानेकुरा दान गर्छन् । यो दिन तिल दान गर्नाले पुण्य हुन्छ भन्छन् । यो वर्ष पनौतीमा लाग्ने १२ बर्से मकर मेला पनि परेको थियाे । हरेक १२ वर्षमा माघे सङ्क्रान्तिदेखि एक महिनासम्म १२ वर्षमा मकर मेला लाग्छ, जहाँ नारायण भगवान्का साथै भगवान् शिव र सूर्यनारायणको पूजा हुन्छ । याे पर्व पहाडी जिल्ला र उपत्यकामा मकर सङ्क्रान्ति भनेर मनाइन्छ भने तराईमा माघी पर्वका रूपमा तराईवासीहरूले धुमधामसँग मनाउँछन् । उनीहरूले यो पर्वलाई नयाँ वर्षका रूपमा मनाउँछन् ।
निष्कर्षमा मकर वा माघे सङ्क्रान्ति पनि नेपालका अरू धेरै चाडहरूमध्ये एक चाड हो र यो चाडको पनि आफ्नै सांस्कृतिक पहिचान छ । यो चाडमा पनि धेरै मेलाहरू हुन्छन्, पूजाहरू हुन्छन् । यो चाडमा खाइने विशेष किसिमका खानाहरू हुन्छन् । यी सबैकाे संयाेजनमा यो चाड धुमधामसँग मनाइन्छ । यो चाड मनाउनु रमाइलो गर्नभन्दा पनि हाम्रो शरीरका लागि राम्रो छ । यो चाड पनि एउटा एकदम राम्रो र रमाइलो चाडपर्व हो र यसका आफ्नै विशेषता छन् ।
Brainstorming is an idea that first emerged back in 1942. The term was introduced by Alex Faickney Osborn, founder and advertising executive of the US advertising agency BBDO. In fact, brainstorming was introduced as a creative technique inspired by the working atmosphere in BBDO. During his time in the company, Osborn`s observations of the everyday work in the office took him closer to developing this creative technique. He found out that during the company's meetings and discussions, all employees were not proposing creative ideas, methods or solutions, which resulted in poor meetings` closings.
Brainstorming is the word that all of us have crossed once or many times in our lives. We’ve not just crossed along it but used it. Brainstorming is a technique to generate ideas in writing and even used to solve problems in the business field. The concept of brainstorming includes defining a simple or a complex problem for which solutions generate different ideas that are later accepted or rejected. The participants in the process of brainstorming present and reveal new ideas as potential solutions for a specific problem. In this process, brainstorming helps the stimulation of the human mind towards creative problem solving. Most people have
heard of (or used) brainstorming techniques to generate creative ideas and many believe that it was created by psychologists or decision scientists. However, brainstorming was the brainchild of an advertising executive in the 1950s. Since its invention, brainstorming has become very popular and there are tremendous claims about the technique`s success. Unfortunately, research has suggested that brainstorming may not be very effective, and that individuals actually perform as well, or better, than brainstorming groups. Brainstorming typically involves
groups of 6 to 10 members throwing out ideas in a noncritical and nonjudgmental atmosphere, trying to generate as many ideas as possible. The basic rules are: (a) no idea is too far out; (b) no criticism of ideas is allowed; © the more ideas the better, and (d) members should build on one another's ideas.Over 40 years of research on brainstorming suggests that the technique is not as effective as its proponents claim. The problem is that despite the ground rules, group dynamics are too powerful and the creativity of people in the brainstorming groups is often inhibited. For example, members become embarrassed and inhibited, others may engage in "freeriding" and not contribute to idea generation. The research suggests that individuals are equal to or better than brainstorming groups in generating creative ideas.
The interesting thing is that members of a brainstorming group strongly believe that group brainstorming is more productive than individual brainstorming. The moral is that because a method sounds popular or logical, research must be done to determine its effectiveness.
Nepal is one of the developing countries in South Asia. We have progressed in various developmental projects but regarding the health sector there is still a lot to do, not only with the cure and prevention, new technology but also with the concept or awareness of the disease and as most of the population is still unaware about the term “Mental Illness'''. Here most of the people think that suffering from mental illness is the same as being crazy, becoming unfit to remain in society and the family, and the reason behind that is due to loss of control over self or being possessed by a holy spirit or a black magic. Individuals with severe mental disorders, as well as their family members, are targets of stigma and discrimination to the point where they hesitate to come forward for appropriate treatment.
The mind and body are considered distinct entities in Nepalese culture, thus mental illness is viewed as being separate from physical illness. Mental health is highly stigmatized in our community. Stigma and discrimination are the major barriers for seeing mental health care in the community. The cause of mental illness and distress, as well as needs of sufferers, are largely being ignored. Nobody really likes to talk about it because of which a person having a hard time with mental health cannot ever speak about it. Even patients with neurotic disorders do not like to consult mental health professionals because of the stigma of mental disease. The key barriers to accessing mental healthcare are lack of awareness on mental health, lack of adequate mental health professionals and treatment facilities. There is only one mental health hospital in the country, and mental health services are not easily available in rural and remote areas. Mental health infrastructure is poor and human resources are not sufficient to meet the need. At present, most psychiatric wards are staffed and run by general nursing staff without specialized training in mental health or disorder. Governmental structures to address mental health are not yet in place.
To ensure the availability and accessibility of mental health services for all , and in particular for the most vulnerable and under-privileged groups, mental health services have to be integrated into the general health services system of the country. Mental health care facilities should be developed and have an active and dynamic interaction with the communities they serve. Mental health services have to be made available at the regional, district and peripheral levels. They have to be integrated into general health services at all levels including primary health care. Mental health resources have to be distributed in accordance with the mental health policy, and adequate supply of essential psychotropic drugs should be maintained. mental health legislation to insure the rights of people with mental disorders has to be developed and implemented. Finally, awareness raising activities on the formulated rights have to be done as well.
सबैभन्दा सरल तर बुझ्न गाह्राे हुने मन
अर्थ थाहा भए पनि नबुझिने मन
कहिले एकातर्फ जाने यो मन
त कहिले अर्कैतर्फ जाने यो मन ।
कहिले दुविधामा पर्ने
त कहिले दुविधा हटाउने
थाहा भएर पनि बुझ्न नसकिने
एक विचित्र दुविधा हो यो मन ।
कहिले करुणाले नराम्रो पनि गर्छ,
कहिले गालीले सहयोग पनि गर्छ,
मनले यो बुझ्न सकिन्छ,
तर कसैलाई बुझाउन सकिन्न ।
बिहान बिहान म सकी नसकी ६ बजेतिर उठ्छु । बिहान उठेपछि सबैभन्दा पहिला मुख धोएर दाँत माझ्छु । घरमा पाएकाे संस्कारअनुसार म मन्त्र जप्ने र सूर्यलाई जल अर्पण गर्ने काम गर्छु । त्यति गरिसकेपछि बाँकी रहेका गृहकार्य र कक्षाकार्यहरू पूरा गर्छु । सबै काम सकिएपछि सफा र राम्रो लुगा लगाएर म आमालाई “आमा खाना पस्किनु है ।" भन्दै ठुलो स्वरमा चिच्याउँदै जान्छु । बिहान बिहान पेट नदुखोस् भनेर दुध र भात खाने मेरो बानी छ ।
आमाले दिनुभएको खाना खाएपछि म इअरफोन लगाएर विपुल क्षेत्रीको असार र देउराली डाँडा भन्ने गीत सुन्दै घरबाट निस्कन्छु, केहीबेर हिँडेपछि म पशुपतिनाथ आइपुग्ने गर्दछु । पूजाका समान बेच्नलाई पसलेहरूको तँछाडमछाड हुन्छ । भगवान्को मन्दिर भएको हुनाले होला, यहाँ एकदम सकारात्मक भाव पनि आउने गर्दछ ।
म आउने बाटामा धेरै मन्दिरहरू छन् । पशुपतिनाथबाट अलिकति माथि लागेपछि म सिफलको जयवागेश्वरी मन्दिरमा आइपुग्छु । त्यहाँको भाव पनि छुट्टै छ । बिहान बिहान ताताे तेलमा डुबाउँदै पसलेहरू ताता ताता समोसा र पकाैडा पकाउँछन् । भात खाएर आए पनि त्यहाँ पुगेपछि भने मेरो मुख फेरि रसाउँछ ।
त्यहाँबाट केहीबेर हिँडेपछि म डियरवाक सिफल स्कुलकाे जुनियर ब्लकमा आइपुग्छु । साना साना बच्चाहरू आफ्ना आमाबुबालाई बाई बाई भनेर आफ्ना साथीहरूसँग गफ गर्दै गेटभित्र छिर्छन् । मलाई पनि आफू त्यसरी नै स्कुल गएका दिनहरूको सम्झना आउँछ । अस्ति भर्खरै कक्षा १० को अन्तिम परीक्षा रद्ध भएजस्तो लाग्छ तर अहिले हेर्यो भने कक्षा १२ का दिनहरू पनि सकिन लागेका छन् । साथीहरू, गुरुबा र गुरुआमाहरूसँग रमाइलाे गर्दै पढ्दै गर्दा हेर्दा हेर्दै कति छिटो समय बित्याे थाहा नै भएन । यति कुरा सम्झिँदै म गार्ड दाइलाई गुड मर्निङ भन्दै साथीहरूसँग ब्याडमिन्टन खेल्न जान्छु ।
Water is quite abundant in nature
and we take it as less important,
It is needed by all living creature,
so to preserve it we must be persistent.
Many die due to lack of water
but some waste it forever.
Everything must be kept in limit
else it destroys balance permits.
We may have oceans of them,
but if not usable it is all in vain.
Even a drop may save one’s life
so we must understand its price
A drought may happen somewhere,
and a flood occurs elsewhere.
A drop may be equal to ones life,
so we must preserve it by using it right
