The month of february started
I know many of you are excited,
This month is for the lovebirds
Also for friends and family members.

People started to give chocolates
As a sign of their love and faith,
And to show their sincerity
In that way, their loved ones will feel happy.

But, people can also show their feelings
Not just through material things
In a simple way of saying “I am always there for you”.
Writing letters will make them feel important too
Saying sorrys to the one you hurt
Will make them feel that you see their worth.

मलाई हाेचाे भएकामा मजाक गर्न बन्द गर्नुहोस्,
मैले हाेचाे हुन चाहेको होइनँ,
म मेरा कारणले हाेचाे भएकाे हाेइनँ, 
म मेरा आमाबुबा 
वा पुर्खाका कारणले मात्र हाेचाे भएकाे हुँ ।

म किन हाेचाे हुन चाहन्छु ?
म हाेचाे हुनुमा के समस्या छ तपाईंहरूलाई ?
के यदि मैले चाहेको भए म अग्लो हुन सक्थेँ ?
त्यसो भए तपाईं किन मलाई हाेचाे भनेर खिल्ली उडाइरहनुहुन्छ ? 
हाेचाे हुनुमा के रमाइलो छ ?

यो हा हा हाे हाे गर्नु भनेकाे 
याे भन्नुजस्तै हो कि 
मराे खुट्टामा छाला, हड्डी र कोसिकाहरू 
तिम्रा खुट्टामाभन्दा कम छन्,
त्यसैले यो हास्यास्पद छ ।

के भनेँ मैले तपाईंलाई ? 
कहिल्यै भनेँ मैले “हा हा तपाईं अग्लो, तपाईं अग्लो गधा” भनेर ? 
त्यसैले “हाेचाे हुनु हास्यास्पद छ” भन्न रोक्नुहोस् ।

आज आफ्नै सपनादेखि डर लागिरहेछ, 
आज आफ्नै इच्छाका कारण मन पाेलिरहेछ,
धत् ! सपना सजाउनु गल्ती भयाे, 
आज त्यही सपनाले मन पाेलिरहेछ ।

किन राखेछु यति धेरै कहिल्यै पुरा नहुने चाहनारू ? 
आज आफैँदेखि अति रिस उठिरहेछ,
भन्नलाई त देखिँदैन घाउ
तर त्यही सपनाले मन, मस्तिष्कमा कुटिरहेछ ।

सपना देख्नुपर्छ भन्नेकाे लहैलहैमा लागेर देखेँ, 
तर आज आफैँलाई “ठुलाे गल्ती गरेछु” लागिरहेछ, 
आज आफ्नै सपनादेखि डर लागिरहेछ, 
आज आफ्नै इच्छाका कारण मन पाेलिरहेछ । 

“अन्धकार औँसीको रातलाई पन्छाउँदै
उज्यालोको सपना नदेख्नुपर्ने” लागिरहेछ,
कर्मको खेल भनौँ या आत्मबलको कमी भनौँ, 
तर आज आफ्नै सपनादेखि मन भागिरहेछ ।

बिर्सन नसकिने सपनाकाे पछि लागेर 
आज त्यही सपनामा जलिरहेछु
सपनाको सपना सजाउँदा सजाउँदै 
आज त्यही सपना पुरा गर्न मरिरहेछु ।

अब ती चाहना, इच्छा र साेखलाई बिर्सन मिल्छ भने 
पुनर्जन्म लिन मन छ,
ताकि फेरि बिर्सेर पनि 
सपना सजाउनु नपराेस्, 
ताकि फेरि बिर्सेर पनि 
सपनामा मन लगाउनु नपराेस् ।

4% of the world can’t sing 
This might come as a surprise, but anyone can get good at singing if they practice enough. That is, if you’re not unlucky enough to be one of the 4% of the world that can’t actually sing, no matter how much they try. This situation is called congenital amusia, or usually known as tone deafness. People with tone deafness are accompanied with the inability to differentiate between tones, and musical tones in general.

The word ‘bureaucracy’ is a major part of an organization, usually a government. One of the most famous theories on bureaucracy is  the Max Weber theory of bureaucracy which originated around the time when F.H. Taylor gave his theory of scientific management. Weber is considered as one of brilliant theorists in the field of bureaucratic management.

 Max Weber was a German sociologist born in 1864. He is renowned as the author of works like ‘The Protestant Ethic’ and the Spirit of Capitalism. Weber took interest in the workings of  industrial capitalism and wanted to analyze its application across different societies. Weber wanted to  know why industrial capitalism worked in certain countries and failed in others. Weber traveled to the United States  in 1904 in order to study the nation’s economy and witness capitalism in full flow across the country. From his observations Weber concluded that capitalism was characterized by innovation and competition in the United States and found it to be useful. The experiences in the United States led to the origination of the Max Weber theory of bureaucracy. Weber defined bureaucratic management in his works and proposed theories of effective management. His ideas are still implemented in the corporate industry today. Weber himself coined the term ‘bureaucracy’ and studied the capitalist industries of Germany and U.S to conclude that the best form of organization is a rational one. Thus economic relations are to be prioritized in businesses rather than personal relationships.  In Max Weber’s theory of bureaucracy, the Weberian model of bureaucracy is to  be governed by highly skilled people with high competency and integrity. The governance by people with high social standing is forbidden. Max Weber defined his theory of bureaucracy as being an organizational structure characterized by numerous rules, standardized processes, procedures and  the fine division of labor and responsibility with clear hierarchies and professional behavior between the employees. Weber proposed that his theory must be implemented in all big organizations in order to smoothly maintain the structural operation of tasks by a huge number of employees. The employees are hired and promoted based on their qualifications and competence .

Max Weber’s theory has contributed highly to bureaucratic management. The formation of a bureaucracy is seen as being ideal as people can build a career upon their expertise while enjoying lifetime employment. But there are also many criticisms of the Weberian model. 
The bureaucratic management theory is seen to be highly rigid. Strict regulations should be followed by the employees and the managers of groups in order to function efficiently. It has been seen that a large number of rules and regulations have the effect of delaying work and stifling the overall flow of the system.The Weberian bureaucratic structure is seen to usually suit government organizations rather than businesses.

उसलाई घुम्न मन पर्थ्यो,
ऊ बेला बेला जान्थ्यो,
घुम्थ्याे अनि घर फर्किन्थ्याे,
उसकी आमा भन्थिन्, “बाबु नघुम,
बाहिर नजाऊ, 
बाहिर खतरा छ,
खतरासँग नखेल ।”
तर उसले टेरेन, 
अझै गइरह्यो,
एक दिन धेरै रात पर्यो,
ऊ घर फर्केन,
उसकी आमा चिन्तित भइन्,
रुन थालिन्,
“बाबु ! तिमी कता छौ ?
खै मेरो बाबु !
घर फर्क ।”
धेरै रात पर्यो,
आमा खोज्न गइन्,
उनले कराइन्,
“बाबु कता छौ ?
कहाँ गयौ ? 
के भयो तिमीलाई ?
घर फर्क ।”
आमा जङ्गल गइन्, 
खोजिन्, 
तर भेटिनन्,
दुःखको साथ रुँदै फर्किन्,
घरमा छोरो रहेछ ,
छोरो घाइते थियो,
आमाले सोधिन्,
“बाबु के भयो ?”
छोरोले भन्यो,
“आमा हजुरले भन्नुभएको ठिक रहेछ,
मैले त
हजुरले मलाई केही गर्न नदिएको,
मलाई मेरो रुचिको कुरा गर्न नदिएको,
मेरो खुसी नचाहेको मात्र बुझेँ,
मैले हजुरको माया बुझिनँ,
हजुरकाे माया मैले देखिनँ,
त्यो माया मैले महसुस गरिनँ, 
क्षमा गर्नुहोस् मलाई, आमा !”
 

म गहिरो सपना देख्छु,
निद्रा अनिद्रामा
मलाई स्वतन्त्र हुन देऊ
तिनीहरू अदृश्य रहन्छन् ।

मलाई स्वतन्त्र हुन देऊ,
म आफैँ मरेको महसुस गर्छु,
संसारलाई उज्यालो पार,
नियम तोड,
मलाई जान देऊ ।

म हराउने छैन,
मलाई चाहिने कुरा तिमी
मसँग जे छ तिम्रो
म नदेखी नै रहन्छु,
अलग हुनु
मलाई जान देऊ,
भोकभोकै मर्छु
वा आत्मीयताका
चेनहरू कडा छन् ।

समय सही छ,
म एक्लो छैनँ,
मलाई बचाऊ,
मलाई जान देऊ,
म उड्न बनेको हुँ,
म मर्न जाँदै छु,
म झुटाे बोल्दिनँ ।

"Originally, all of us had brown eyes," stated Professor Hans Eiberg from the department of cellular and Molecular remedy” however a genetic mutation affecting the OCA2 gene in our chromosomes resulted in the creation of a "switch," which literally "turned off" the ability to produce brown eyes." 
The OCA2 gene codes for the so-called P protein, that is involved within the production of melanin, the pigment that gives coloration to our hair, eyes and skin. The "switch," that is located within the gene adjacent to OCA2 does not, however, turn off the gene completely, however as an alternative limits its motion to reducing the manufacturing of melanin within the iris -- effectively "diluting" brown eyes to blue.
The transfer's impact on OCA2 is very specific consequently. If the OCA2 gene had been absolutely destroyed or turned off, human beings would be without melanin in their hair, eyes or skin color -- a condition known as albinism.variation in the color of the eyes from brown to inexperienced can all be explained by the quantity of melanin in the iris, however blue-eyed individuals only have a small degree of variation in the quantity of melanin in their eyes. "From this we are able to conclude that all blue-eyed people are linked to the same ancestor," says Professor Eiberg. "they've all inherited the same transfer at precisely the same spot in their DNA." Brown-eyed individuals, by contrast, have extensive character variation in the vicinity in their DNA that controls melanin production.Professor Eiberg and his team examined mitochondrial DNA and compared the attention shade of blue-eyed individuals in countries as diverse as Jordan, Denmark and Turkey.
His findings are the latest in a decade of genetic studies, which started in 1996, when Professor Eiberg first implicated the OCA2 gene as being responsible for eye color.

Euthanasia is a process in which a person who is suffering from an incurable disease, painful disease or in an irreversible coma is killed in a painless manner. Euthanasia is legal in countries such as Belgium, New Zealand, Colombia, Canada, Spain, etc. But it is not legalized in our country Nepal.
The money and resources used for a patient’s health is very valuable. If a person requests for euthanasia on his/her condition with incurable disease or a painful disease, they should have that option of their own death as using the resources to care the person would be a huge waste. Using those resources to save the lives of a curable patient should be the main priority. 
People request for euthanasia as they cannot bare the pain of the disease. For many people, having a quality life is more important than the length of their life. It is pointless to force a person to live longer by using the valuable resources if they are guaranteed to die from the disease. We as a bystanders cannot imagine the pain the patient is going through by just looking so, judging the patient’s opinion on doing euthanasia is ignorant. 
But the option of euthanasia should only be a last resort option and should be the personal choice of the patient. 
 

गुलाबझैँ चिटिक्क परेकी तिमी
लजावतीझैँ लजाउने तिमी
सूर्यमुखीझैँ खुला आकाशमा रमाउने तिमी
कुन शब्दले वर्णन गरूँ म तिम्राे ?

मेरो मनमा कब्जा गर्ने तिमी
मलाई मायामा चुर्लुम्म डुबाउने तिमी
तिमी, मात्र तिमी !
कुन शब्दले वर्णन गरूँ म तिम्राे ? 
कुन शब्दले वर्णन गरूँ म तिम्राे ?

शिरमा मुकुट, हातमा विणाधारी 
सबजनको हित गर्ने उपकारी 
अज्ञानीलाई दिएकी छ्‌यौ ज्ञान
तिम्रै हातमा छन् चार वेद पुराण ।

हाँसमाथि विराजमान भएकी 
सबैको मनमा राज गर्न सफल रहेकी 
कमलको फूलमाथि आसन भएकी 
अन्धकारलाई हटाउन सफल रहेकी 
सरस्वती माता, विणापुस्तकधारिणी ।
 

Our life is full of work and stress, and it never seems to cease. Stress and pressure diminishes our life force leaving us with little energy and that too gets depleted with doing other things which includes  recreational activities. To get out of this whirlpool of energy absorbing sources i.e. stress, people seek the activities that help them to relax, it may be reading books or just sleeping which mostly heals the problem if you can get it. For me it’s sketching and it always helps me to have a peaceful mind and clear thinking.

Well sketching is a vast term and can mean many things and differ from person to person, for me it's a skill through which I can  roughly draw the moment present in my mind. Though I may not be professional or not even good enough, just starting to sketch alone drives me towards a peaceful state. I don’t sketch often as I am still a student who depends on parents for support and don’t have the stress level of adults, and I am quite busy with my assignments and all but I find the time to sketch here and there.

“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” – Thomas Merton. As said above sketching has helped me to express myself and my sketches differ according to my emotions which sometimes can't be said aloud or can’t be expressed. It is also a way to vent my anger and as they say anger doesn’t bring any good and is reflected in most of my sketches when I am angry but it does help me clear my mind, it doesn’t affect me if I mess my sketch up as it is the work of creativity, and it speaks things I can’t speak.
