The Hunger Games
- Simon Sangat - 22019, Grade X ... 29 November, 2021

Author: Suzanne Collins
Genre: Fiction/ Thriller.
Setting: A real life game show
Main Characters: Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark, Gale Hawthorne

Katniss Everdeen, a young girl of 16, lives in the poorest part of the country, District Twelve, along with her beloved sister and their mother. Having lost her father in a mine explosion at a very tender age, she shoulders the entire responsibility of her family in the poverty stricken District Twelve. Fortunately she can hunt and thus she, along with her best friend and hunting partner, Gale Hawthorne, are able to sustain their respective families. All is well.

But Katniss' happiness is short-lived. The day of the reaping arrives when her entire world shifts and changes. When the Capitol sponsor Effie Trinket calls out her sister, Primrose's name as the girl tribute from the District Twelve, Katniss' worst fears are confirmed and her world shatters. The only thought that she has now is to save her sister from the cruelty and brutality of the Capitol. So, to protect her beloved sister from being a part of the Capitol's quest to conquer and inflict pain; to protect Prim from being slaughtered at the Hunger Games, a game where each tribute of the twelve different districts fought and killed to be entitle the winner and for sheer love of her sister, Katniss volunteers to take Prim's place and promises her to try her best to win an come back. It is then that all the sufferings and the dark times for Katniss begin.

The entire book then portrays Katniss' fight for survival, her fight to show the Capitol that neither do they own her nor is she a part of their evil games and her fight to win her way back keeping her promise to her sister. She along with Peeta Mellark, the boy tribute from District Twelve, together fight for freedom and unknowingly give the spark that the district citizens needed to start another uprising and rebellion against the Capitol's long autocratic rule.

Together they go from defying the Capitol to fighting for their lives; saving their families and friends to ridding the people from the fear of the Hunger Games and supporting the rebellion to standing against the Capitol. But all along the way what Katniss and Peeta don't realize is that all their actions may cost them their loves, families and friends or worse, even their own lives.

मनका गोप्य कुरा
- Aswin Siwakoti - 23014, Grade ... 26 November, 2021

खाइलाग्दो यस उमेरमा पिरहरूले सताउँछन्,
कसलाई भनूँ म, के भनूँ र यो मनले शान्ति पाउँछ ?
जति गरे, जे गरे पनि अघि बढ्न सकिनँ,
दुःख, कष्ट र पीडामा बितिजाने भयो यो जीवन ।

अनेकौँ कुराहरूलाई खेलाउँछ यो मन
कहिले यता कहिले उता 
हावा लाग्दा खेतका धानका लहर जसरी
भौतारिरहन्छ यो मन ।

बिर्साउन पनि सक्दिनँ र
बिर्सिन पनि सक्दिनँ, 
छन् धेरै याद मेरा हार र जितका
मेरा हाँसो र खुसीका
बरु लगाइदिन्छु एउटा सानो ताल्चा
र गोप्य बनिरहोस् मेरो मनमा ।

आशा छ कि भेट्ने छु कोही
जसले फुटाइदिने छ याे पत्थरकाे मुटुलाई
अनि बगिजाने छन् मेरा गोप्य कुरा खोलासरि 
जाने छु टाढा कोही नपुगेको ठाउँमा हावासरि 
जहाँ रहने छाैँ मात्र म र मेरा गोप्य कुरा ।।

Struggling Through Books
- Arunesh Manandhar - 23011, Gr ... 26 November, 2021

Students are always meant to “study and acquire knowledge”. It is taken as the one and only responsibility given by God to the students. Though I think it is an easy task as we only need to be in a specific place and study everytime. It is not easy for us; students and learners, to do the individual tasks as well. People feel pathetic themselves rather than we, students. But, have they ever thought about what it is like to be like students? Well the specific and general answer might be “NO” instead. People work, live life, work hard and finally get comfort, food, life, etc. However, talking about students, we need to be executed for such an in-prude book! If we could not only complete half of the task, there won’t be any use of comfort food, life and shelter, etc. We would not be able to even swallow a bite of bread. Generally, other tasks can be done with less focus and concentration. However, we need to be physically and mentally in the course of exploring our cognitive potentialities and increasing it to an optimum level. When we reach Higher Secondary level then it’s like: Books, Boots, everywhere; Not a single chapter to be known! Life is not a bed of roses for students. We need to have all the characters of all the subtle animals, people, etc focusing like a crane, sleeping habit like dog brain like Einstein, hardworking like bees and ants. Could we ever think of anything else rather than thinking about such naive books which never get friendly with us.
We students are sophisticated by books, keep a vow with God to study hard, have a full fledged responsibility like prayer in the church, farmer working in a scorching sun, doctor doing surgery in the operation theatre and mostly punctual, determined, devoted, disciplined to our work. Books lead us to the way and it is a third eye of perceiving knowledge.

GALAXY AND THE IDEA OF BIG BANG
- Anukrama Poudyal - 22031, Gra ... 26 November, 2021

Our planet is one of nine planets that circle a star we call the sun. Our solar system is a collection of stars and planets. The sun is part of a galaxy (it really resides on the edge of the galaxy—out in the suburbs), many of which are likely to develop their own solar systems. In all, our galaxy has around 1011 stars.
This galaxy is known as the Milky Way. The Milky Way is one of countless galaxies in the universe. It's a member of the 'local group,' a cluster of galaxies bound together by gravity. The local group contains 18 galaxies. Other clusters of galaxies have been discovered, some of which include as many as 800 galaxies weakly bound together by gravity.

The number of galaxies visible from Earth is believed to be 3109. Many of these galaxies are larger than our own Milky Way. When multiplied together, this equals 1020 stars in the cosmos (if our galaxy is, as it appears to be, of a typical size). It is believed that the universe contains more stars than there is sand on a beach.The entire collection is referred to as the observable universe by astronomers. Two problems restrict what we can observe. To begin with, the light from a galaxy becomes fainter as it gets further away, necessitating the use of a big telescope to view it. It is estimated that the universe is around 15 billion years old, which means that any galaxy more than 15 billion light years distant will be invisible to us since the light has not yet reached us! Without a doubt, the true cosmos is much larger than what we can see right now. It's just lately become clear how much bigger it is. If our current theories are right, the observable world is a speck in an incomprehensibly larger universe.

Cosmology is a unique field of study in physics. Cosmologists research the numerous possibilities for how the universe came to be, how it evolved, and how it will end (including the possibility that it will not!). There is almost no other topic that deals with such vast issues. The fact that this issue has become part of mainstream physics is a remarkable testament to science's ambition. Cosmologists are now convinced that they have a "standard model" of how the universe originated, thanks to contributions from astronomy and particle physics ideas. 
The big bang is the name given to this concept.Consider a period of time that occurred fifteen billion years ago. The volume of all stuff in the cosmos is substantially less than it is now—even smaller than the volume of the earth. There are no galaxies, at least not in the way we think of them from our everyday lives. The universe will continue to grow in the future, although at a slower rate than it did previously due to the tremendous inflation. As the cosmos expands, it cools. As the rest of the universe's gravity pulls it back, each particle loses energy. What was the cause of the Big Bang? We have no idea. As the temperatures and pressures that prevailed shortly after the big bang, our notions of how matter should behave don't function.

नेपाली बनौँँ, नेपाली नभनौँ
- Subesh Tharu - 22013, Grade X ... 25 November, 2021

मानिसको जाति कति प्रकारको हुन्छ होला ? अरू देशको त थाहा भएन तर नेपालमा चाहिँ दुई किसिमको जात हुन्छ । एउटा आफूलाई नेपाली भन्ने जात र अर्को आफूलाई नेपाली बनाउनेहरू । कोही भन्न सकेर नेपाली भन्छन् त कोही गर्न सकेर नेपाली बन्छन् ।
नेपाली भन्नेहरू आफूलाई गर्वले नेपाली भन्ने गर्छन् । उनीहरूको हिसाबले देशलाई उनीहरूले नै चलाएका हुन्छन् । नेपाललाई बचाउने भन्छन् र बचाउन दुई चार वटा सल्लाह पनि दिन्छन् ।

सबैलाई गरौँ, गरौँ भनेर त भन्छन् तर आफू चाहिँ केही गर्दैन । कुनै ठाउँमा भेला भएर देश कसरी चलाउने र कहाँ के गर्नुपर्छ भनेर गफ हाँक्छन् । अझै आफूलाई अलिक धेरै नै नेपाली भन्नेहरू त सामाजिक सञ्जालसमेतमा भन्न छाड्दैन । बिहान बेलुका फेसबुक, ट्विटर र इन्स्टाग्राममा चिच्याउँदै हिँड्छन् । अब बुढाबुढी त भइहाले, काम गर्न सक्दैनन् तर उनीहरू पनि कम छैनन् । नेपाली बन्नेहरू नेपाली भन्नेहरूभन्दा छुट्टै हुन्छन् । उनीहरू अरूलाई सहयोग गरेर नेपाली बन्छन् । उनीहरूको हिसाबले उनीहरूमाथि सममाजप्रति आफूले गर्नुपर्ने दायित्व हुन्छ । उनीहरू घर घर गएर सहयोग तथा देशको विकासका लागि आग्रह गर्छन् । ठाउँ ठाउँ गएर जनचेतना फैलाउँछन् । सरकारले आयोजना गरेका कार्यक्रमहरूमा सहभागिता लिन्छन् ।

त्यसैले हामीले नेपाली बन्नेहरूलाई देश विकासका लागि आर्थिक, सामाजिक र राजनितिक शक्तिमा ठाउँ दिनुपर्छ । अब तपाईंहरू आफैँ साेच्नुहाेस्, तपाईं नेपाली भन्नुहुन्छ कि नेपाली बन्नुहुन्छ ?

Last month, I watched the film 'Anand' , the highly acclaimed film by critics and the public. It is one of the best movies made in the history of Indian cinema.

The film is mainly about a patient named Anand in his mid 20s who is suffering from the last stage of intestinal cancer. He had got very few days of his life to survive and comes to Bombay to meet his close friend where he is introduced to the famous doctor of the place,named Bhaskar Banerjee. Anand's cheerful and vibrant nature soothes Bhaskar,who has a contrasting nature and they become good friends. Anand has a pleasant nature of attracting people and making them his friends.

After some months, Anand's health starts to deteriorate and he is forced to stay in the home of Bhaskar. Slowly, Ananda starts to feel lonely because Bhaskar is a very busy doctor. One day, Anand and Bhaskar are having a serious talk and suddenly Bhaskar tells Anand that he doesn't have much time to live and Anand with his jolly nature replies, "My friend, Life should be great not long." The acting in the particular scene is so realistic that it will make you cry. After some days, Anand becomes so weak that he can't even walk on his own. Anand dies of lymphosarcoma of the intestine and Bhaskar gets very emotional. So, Bhaskar decides to write a book named, 'Anand'.

In a nutshell, this movie is one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life. It gives us a moral that no matter how short your life is; it should be great and you should live it to the fullest. This movie is a must watch for every movie lover as it teaches us a great life lesson that how hard your condition is, you should be able to become happy and satisfied. So, I would recommend every movie lover to give it a watch once in their free time.

Population Explosion
- Binayak Mahato - 22025, Grade ... 25 November, 2021

The high number of people living is referred to as a population explosion. It is a significant problem for poor countries. Furthermore, the government is not taking adequate steps to address this issue. Furthermore, it causes a slew of challenges throughout the country, causing a slew of problems for citizens. Furthermore, it will be difficult to cope with this condition as the government can’t even meet the rising demand of the population.

Causes of Population Explosion

The mismatch between the birth and death rates is the primary reason for this population growth. Due to inadequate medical facilities, people dying in wars, and other calamities is very low in comparison to earlier periods,the birth rate is in control but talking about poor countries, the population is still growing.

Another factor contributing to population growth is illiteracy. People who have a low literacy rate are more likely to be traditional, superstitious, and uneducated. Kerala, for example, has a high literacy rate and only makes up 2.76 percent of India's population, whereas Uttar Pradesh has the highest illiteracy rate and makes up 16.49 percent of the population. Birth control methods are well-known among educated people.

Another factor contributing to the population rise is religious emotion.There are countries that are culturally bound to go against the religious factors. It is difficult for countries like Pakistan, India and other muslims countries to dismantle the religion and its cultural impacts.

Preventive measures of Population Explosion
To address this issue, the government must take correct action. The country's whole development is dependent on how well the population is controlled. The government and its bodies should enhance public knowledge regarding family planning and welfare. In hospitals and other public spaces, posters with slogans like "Hum do, humare do" and "Chota Parivar, Sukhi Parivar" should be displayed.People need to get ideas regarding benefits of having a small family. It is necessary to raise knowledge about the usage of contraceptive tablets and other family planning options.The health care centers should assist the poor by providing free contraceptives and encouraging the control of the number of children. Government must make the programs more beneficial to people.

नेपाल जलविद्युत् प्राधिकरण
- Rakshit Dahal - 22023, Grade ... 24 November, 2021

नेपालमा केही महिनाअगाडिदेखि देशका विभिन्न ठाउँहरूमा बत्ती आउने जाने हुँदै आएको थियाे । चार वर्षअगाडि लाेडसेडिङ्ग समाप्त भएको देशमा बिचमा यस्तो स्थिति फेरि देखिन आइपुगेको थियाे । कुलमन घिसिङ्गले आफ्नो बेलामा लाेडसेडिङ्ग समाप्त गर्ने मात्र होइन, देशको आर्थिक स्थिति पनि बलियो बनाउँदै थिए । हाम्रो देशले जलविद्युत्‌बाट धेरै नाफा कमाउँदै थियो । आफ्नो ४ वर्षको कार्यकाल अन्त्य भएपछि हेमन्त शाक्य नेपाल जलविद्युत् प्राधिकरणको नयाँ प्रबन्ध निर्देशक हुन पुगे । शाक्यकै कार्यकालमा फेरि लाेडसेडिङ्ग हुने स्थिति देखिएकाे थियाे तर पछि व्यापक जनदबाबका कारण कुलमान घिसिङ नेपाल जलविद्युत् प्राधिकरणकाे निर्देशकमा पुनः नियुक्त भएपछि लाेडसेडिङ्ग हटेकाे छ ।  

नेपालमा जलविद्युत् प्राधिकरणको राम्रो उपयोग नगरेमा देशले धेरैभन्दा धेरै हानि व्यहाेर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ । भारतबाट बिजुली आयात गर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ जब कि नेपालमा जलविद्युत् निकाल्न प्रयोग नभएका खोलानालाहरू कयाैँ छन् । नेपालमा इन्भर्टरजस्ता सामग्रीहरूको व्यापार बढ्न पुग्छ, जसले गर्दा यसको पुरा नाफा भारत र चिनलाई हुन्छ । धनीहरूसामु बत्ती आइपुग्छ भने गरिब जनताहरूका लागि हुन्छ त केवल अन्धकार !

शेरबहादुर देउबाको सरकार आएपछि उनले धेरै आलोचना सहनुपर्यो । हाम्रो देशमा कुनै पनि सरकार राम्रो नभए पनि शेरबहादुर देउबाले कुलमान घिसिङ्गलाई फेरि नेपाल जलविद्युत् प्राधिकरणको प्रबन्ध निर्देशक बनाउने निर्देशन दिएका थिए जसकाे फलस्वरूप कुलमान घिसिङ्ग पुनः नेपाल जलविद्युत् प्राधिकरणकाे निर्देशक पदमा नियुक्त भए । जलविद्युत्‌काे क्षेत्रमा केही राम्रो काम हुने आशा नेपाली जनताहरूमा फेरि पलायाे । देउबाले याे कामका लागि इन्स्टाग्राम, फेसबुकलगायतका विभिन्न सामाजिक सञ्जालमा बधाई र राम्रा सन्देशहरू पाए । केही राम्राे काम गर्ने हाे भने नेपाली जनताको मन जित्न त्यति गाह्राे पनि हुँदाे रहेनछ । आशा छ, आगामी दिनहरूमा पनि कुलमान घिसिङ्गले यस्तै राम्रा कामहरू गर्दै जाने छन् र नेपाल जलविद्युत् प्राधिकरणलाई नयाँ उचाइमा पुर्याउने छन् ।
