Audism
- Jubin Maharjan - 2022026, Gra ... 14 July, 2021

Audism is defined as the discrimination done towards deaf people and their community. The term audism was first coined by Tom L. Humphries in 1975. The deaf community has been suffering from audism for centuries. Audism is mainly caused due to the lack of awareness among people about the deaf community or the lack of awareness about the actions that cause discomfort towards the deaf community.
Audism is a sensitive issue and everyone needs to be aware of the effects that cause on the deaf community. Some examples of audism can be; asking a deaf person to read our lips, refusing a deaf person to explain what everyone is discussing about, refusing to call an interpreter when it is required, approaching deafness as a tragedy, having the mentality that deaf people can’t do things, etc. We might be doing these things towards a deaf person without being aware of it and it might make them uncomfortable. So to avoid this kind of situation, being aware of these things should be necessary. 
In our society, deaf people are still discriminated against and are excluded. People have a certain mentality that since the deaf cannot hear they are not able to do things that a normal can do. This kind of mentality is wrong and there have been many deaf people that have risen to success such as Nyle DiMarco, Linda Bove, etc. and there are even famous deaf musicians such as Ozzy Osbourne, Stephen Stills, etc. 
We as a community can stop audism by giving equal employment opportunities to deaf people, we can teach people basic sign languages, we need to understand deafness as an identity, etc.

प्रदूषण
- Simone Sangat - 2022019, Grad ... 14 July, 2021

वातावरण शब्दले पृथ्वी वरिपरिको हावापानीलाई जनाउँछ । वातावरण प्रदूषण अन्तर्गत हावापानी प्रदूषण, भूमि प्रदूषण, ध्वनि प्रदूषण र तापीय प्रदूषण पर्दछन् र यिनीहरूले जैविक तथा रासायनिक विविधतामा अवाञ्छित परिवर्तन ल्याउँछन् । विभिन्न उद्योगधन्दा र जनघनत्वका कारण हावापानी प्रदूषण, आणविक शस्त्रास्त्रको निर्माण र पृथ्वीमा तिनको प्रयोग, रासायनिक मलको प्रयोग र वनविनाशले गर्दा भूमि प्रदूषण, उद्योग र कल कारखाना तथा मोटरगाडीका चर्का आवाजले ध्वनि प्रदूषण र बिस्फोटन, कीटनाशक औषधीको प्रयोगले माटोको क्षरण  एवम् ओजोन तहको विनाशले गर्दा सूर्यका किरणहरू पृथ्वीमा पर्ने गर्दा ग्लोबल वार्मिङ्गका कारणले आज सबै क्षेत्रहरूमा परिवर्तन आएका छन् जसले गर्दा वातावरण प्रदूषणको वृद्धिलगायतका समस्या सिर्जना भएका छन् ।

यान्त्रिकीकरण, औद्योगिकरणका कारण आज विश्वभर वातावरणीय समस्या विकराल बनेको छ । विभिन्न उद्योगधन्दा, कल कारखाना र सवारी साधनबाट निस्कने धुलो, धुवाँ र चर्का आवाजहरूले गर्दा हावापानी प्रदूषण र ध्वनि प्रदूषण भएको छ । साथै विकसित राष्ट्रहरूमा आणविक बिस्फोटन र तिनको परीक्षणले गर्दा भूमि प्रदूषण तथा रेडियोथर्मिक प्रदूषणलाई निम्त्याएको छ । अविकसित राष्ट्रहरूमा रासायनिक मल र कीटनाशक औषधीको अधिक प्रयोग तथा वनजङ्गलको विनाशले गर्दा वातावरण प्रदूषणको समस्या दिनानुदिन बढिरहेको छ।अतः मानवीय क्रियाकलापले वातावरण प्रतिकूल हुँदै गइरहेको छ र यो सुन्दर धर्ती र पृथ्वीको विनाश हुँदै गइरहेको छ।

हाम्रो देश नेपालमा पनि वातावरण प्रदूषणले चर्को रूप लिएको छ सहरी क्षेत्र र विशेष गरी काठमाडौँ उपत्यकामा अव्यवस्थित बसोवास, फोहोरमैला, उद्योग धन्दा र कल कारखानाले फ्यालेका धुलो र धुँवाले गर्दा मानिस सङ्कटको भूमरीमा फसेका छन् बागमती र विष्णुमती जस्ता पवित्र नदीहरू दलमा रूपान्तरित भएका छन् । हरिया डाडा नाङ्गा हुँदै छन् भने पानीका मुहान सुक्दै  गएका छन् । मानिस आफ्नो क्रियाकलापले आफै समस्यामा परेको छ।

वातावरण प्रदूषणको समस्याले नकारात्मक असर देखाएको हुँदा यसको न्यूनीकरण गर्न सबै पृथ्वीवासी एकजुट हुनुपर्छ । कोइली र मुजुरको मीठा आवाजको सट्टामा कारखाना र मोटरगाडीको चर्को आवाजले कानै बहिरा हुन लागेका छन् । शीतल र स्वच्छ वायुका सट्टामा कालो धुवाले संसारभरि राज गर्न थालिसकेको छ यसले गर्दा धर्तीमा मानवलगायत धर्तीका सम्पूर्ण जीवजन्तु र वनस्पतिको अस्तित्व सङ्कटमा परेको छ । यसरी नै वातावरण प्रदूषित भए पृथ्वीको अस्तित्व रहँदैन । सावधानी नपुर्ययी गरिएको विकासका कार्यले भावी पुस्तालाई ठूलो सङ्कट ल्याउने हुँदा प्रदूषणको अन्त्य गरी स्वच्छ, सफा धर्ती भावी पुस्तालाई सुम्पने जिम्मा हाम्रो काँधमा आएको छ।

Sports and its development in Nepal
- Umanga Khatiwada - 1178004, G ... 13 July, 2021

Sports is one of the emerging sectors in the world. Many countries including Nepal are engaged and have invested a lot in sports activities. Many countries have achieved numerous prizes and awards for the development of the sports sector. Every year there are huge sports competitions like FIFA World Cup, Olympics, SAF games, Asian games, Euro Cup, NBA etc are organized, and the best country wins it.

Nowadays, the sports sector has created a lot of opportunities for people and unleashed their full potential in sports. It not only gives opportunities for players but also creates a favorable environment for generating employment opportunities in general. Development in the sports sector also showcases the competitive nature of the country in different sports. Nepal is also growing and developing its sports sector. Every year, a portion of the budget is allocated for the development, growth, and maintenance of the sports sector. Nowadays, Nepal is also taking part in international competitions in which it qualifies. Nepal has also reached new heights and rankings year by year in the sector of football, cricket, swimming, boxing, etc. Nepal is exploring new sports as well. Moreover, people’s view on sports has changed a lot as they are now enrolled not just for fun rather are engaged as a professional sportsperson. The misconception about sports has changed a lot due to its huge influence on the younger generation, as they are well aware that fame and name can be earned through sports.

The drastic change in the sports sector has been possible because of overall development in technology, infrastructure and overall economy. Now, people are not only choosing sports for passion but also for their career option and its development. Sports sector is growing day by day and is worth billions of dollars worldwide.  Sports sector also plays a vital role in the development of the nation and its people.

To sum up, I want to say that the sports sector is one of the major earning sectors. Every country should be engaged and invested in this sector as it has lots of potential and opportunities.

चुराेट उत्पादन अवैध हुनुपर्छ ।
- Jubin Maharjan - 2022026, Gra ... 13 July, 2021

चुरोट धूमपानको उद्देश्यले कागजमा घुमाइएको मसिनाे गरी काटिएको सुर्ती हो, जसमा निकोटिन, हाइड्रोजन साइनाइड इत्यादिजस्ता धेरै अन्य रासायनिक पदार्थहरू समावेश हुन्छन् । सुर्तीजन्य पदार्थ खपत र धूमपान गर्ने कार्य धेरै वर्षअघिदेखि हुँदै आएको छ । मानिसहरू पहिले सोच्थे कि धूमपान र सुर्तीजन्य पदार्थको सेवन उनीहरूको स्वास्थ्यका लागि राम्रो छ तर अब वैज्ञानिकहरूले गरेको अनुसन्धानका कारण हामी पक्का हुन सक्छौँ कि यसले हाम्रो स्वास्थ्यलाई बाधा पुर्‍याउँछ र यसले हाम्रो फोक्सोलाई मुख्यतया असर गर्छ ।
यद्यपि मानिसहरू जान्दछन् कि चुरोट तिनीहरूको स्वास्थ्यका लागि स्वस्थ छैन तर तिनीहरू अझै पनि त्यस्तो कार्यमा लाग्छन् र यसको मुख्य कारण तिनीहरू चुराेटमा हुने निकोटिनले गर्दा धूमपान गर्न बानी परेका छन् । चुराेटको उत्पादन गर्दा पनि विचार गरिन्छ कि यसको कुनै लाभ छैन । सरकारले चुरोटको मूल्य बढाउँदै र चुरोटको नकारात्मक असर चुराेटको बाक्सामा राखेर मानिसहरूलाई धूमपान गर्नबाट रोक्न खोजेको छ तर यो त्यति प्रभावकारी भएको छैन किनभने एक पटक कुनै व्यक्ति धूमपान गर्ने लतमा लाग्छ भने ऊ धूमपान गर्न चाहन्छ र उक्त व्यक्तिले मूल्य वा बट्टामा रहेको खतराकाे चिह्नको वास्ता गर्दैन । चुराेटको उपलब्धताले समस्यालाई झन् विकराल बनाएको छ किनकि धेरै युवा तथा वृद्धवृद्धाहरू दिनकाे सुरुवात चुराेट खाएर गर्ने गरेका छन् । याे समस्याकाे एक मात्र समाधान भनेको चुराेटको उत्पादन बन्द गर्नु हो ।
यदि देशमा चुराेटको कुनै उत्पादन हुँदैन भने त्यहाँ धूमपानको अम्मली हुने व्यक्तिहरू हुने छैनन् । यसबाट धूमपान छोड्ने कोसिस गरिरहेका मानिसहरूका लागि ठुलो सयाता हुने छ । यसले व्यक्तिलाई धूमपानबाट पनि रोक्छ किनकि त्यहाँ किन्नको लागि कुनै चुराेट हुँदैन । चुराेटले कुनै स्वास्थ्य लाभ गर्दैन र चुराेटको उत्पादन बन्द गर्नाले देशमा कनै ठुलो समस्या पैदा हुने छैन ।

कक्षा ११ का सम्झनाहरू
- Niharika Shrestha - 22022, Gr ... 12 July, 2021

हिजो भर्खरै कक्षा १० सकेर कलेजको खोजमा भएजस्तो लाग्छ तर अहिले भने ११ नै सक्कियो । कति छिटो एक झलकमै १ वर्ष पनि बित्यो । हुन त हामीले यो १ वर्ष घरमै बसेर बितायौँ तर केही महिना कलेजमा बिताएका दिनहरू कहिले बिर्सिन सकिँदैन । याे कलेजले मलाई धेरै राम्रा साथीहरू र शिक्षकहरूसँग भेटायाे, त्यसैले यस कलेजमा पढ्ने निर्णय गरेकामा म एकदमै खुसी छु । यस कलेजमा पढाइका साथ साथै थुप्रै अतिरिक्त पाठ्यक्रमका गतिविधिहरू पनि अनुभव गर्न पाइन्छ । 

साथीहरूलाई पहिलो पटक कलेजमा देख्दा उत्साह नै बेग्लै थियो । पहिलो पटक साथीहरूलाई भेट्दा त अलि चिन्न पनि गाह्राे भएको थियो किनभने हाम्रो कलेजको सुरुवात नै अनलाइन कक्षाबाट भएको थियो । कक्षामा साथीहरूसँग बिताएका पलहरू सधैँ मेरा लागि प्यारा हुने छन् । साथीहरूसँग कक्षमा गफ गर्दा शिक्षकले कराउनु हुँदा त्यो बेला त नराम्रो लाग्थ्यो तर अहिले भने सोच्दा निकै रमाइलो र हाँसो लाग्छ । कक्षा सकिएपछि ५ मिनेटकाे ब्रेकमा शिक्षकहरूले पढाउन नछोड्दा एक किसिमको छटपटाहट हुन्थ्यो र के बहाना बनाएर शिक्षकलाई भनेर कक्षा सकेर बाहिर जाऊँ जस्तो हुन्थ्यो । कहिलेकाहीँ त्यो ५ मिनेट ब्रेक कहिले नसकियाेस् जस्तो पनि हुन्थ्यो । 

कलेजको क्यान्टिनमा पहिलो पटक खाना सेटबाहेक मेनु सूचीमा अरू खाने कुराहरू थपेको देख्दा हामी साथीहरूको अनुहारमा आएको खुसी बयान नै गर्न सकिँदैन । सधैँ बाहिर खाइरहेको मम भए तापनि कलेजमा खाँदा रमाइलो नै छुट्टै थियो । खाना सकिनेबित्तिकै हामी सबै साथीहरू भेला भएर टन्नै गफ गर्थ्यौं, तर केही महिना भाैतिक रूपमै विद्यालय खुल्नेबित्तिकै दुर्भाग्यवश फेरि अनलाइन कक्षा नै सुरु भयो । अनलाइन कक्षा पनि रमाइलो नै थियो तर कलेजमा हुँदाको मज्जा नै अर्कै हुन्थ्यो । कलेजमा पढाइका साथसाथै गफगाफ पनि हुन्थ्यो र पढ्न पनि सजिलो हुन्थ्यो । अहिलेसम्म कहिले अनुभव गर्न नपाएको कुरा कक्षा ११ मा आएर यस्तो अनलाइन कक्षाबाट पढ्ने अनुभव पनि पाइयो । सुरु सुरुमा त अलि अप्ठ्यारो पनि भएको थियो तर अनलाइनबाट कक्षा लिँदै गएपछि बिस्तारै बानी हुँदै गयो । यो मात्र नभए हामीले परीक्षा पनि अनलाइनबाट दिने मौका पायौँ, जुन मैले अहिलेसम्म अनुभव गर्न पाएको थिइनँ । यो महामारीले हामीलाई निकै दुःख पनि दियाे तर नयाँ कुराहरूको अनुभव पनि गरायाे त्यसैले यी सबै सानाठुला सम्झनाहरू जीवनमा कहिले बिर्सिन सकिँदैन । 

स्पोर्ट्स विकदेखि लिएर डिएसएस टक, हाइकिङ्गसम्मका सम्झनाहरू सधैँ प्यारा हुने छन् । हाइकिङ्गले गर्दा पनि हामी साथीहरू अझै नजिक भयौँ र पहिलेभन्दा पनि अझै मिल्न थाल्यौँ । हाइकिङ्ग गएर फर्के पनि त्यस दिनमा बनाइएका सम्झनाहरूको कुरा अझै पनि भइराख्छ । फोटो हेर्नेबित्तिकै सबै सम्झनाहरू ताजा हुन्छन् र फेरि जाऊँ जाऊँ लाग्छ । हिँड्दा मात्र होइन हामीले बसमा पनि निक्कै रमाइलो गर्यौं । हामीले गीत गायौँ, नाच्यौँ, फोटाहरू खिच्यौँ र टन्न गफहरू पनि गर्यौं । ११ कक्षामा यति रमाइलो भयो कि कहिले १ वर्ष बित्यो पनि थाहा भएन । 

सबैले भन्थे कलेज निकै रमाइलो हुन्छ र मलाई पनि अहिले आएर यस्तै महसुस भएको छ । आशा छ कि कक्षा १२ पनि यति नै रमाइलो होस् र निक्कै सम्झनाहरू बनाउन पाइयाेस् र छिट्टै यस महामारीको अन्त्य भएर जनजीवन सामान्य होस् र कलेजमै गएर पहिलेजस्तै हाँस्दै, रमाउँदै पढ्न पाइयाेस् ।

My Experience with Linux
- Apurva Adhikari - 2022005, Gr ... 12 July, 2021

It has been quite some time since I have been using Linux as a desktop operating system. If you use Linux or know about it, you might know that Linux is not an entire operating system, it’s just an open-source kernel, the kernel is simply the base of an operating system. It being open-source means that its source code is available in public and you can edit as you want. Using the Linux kernel, many operating systems have been created, those are known as Linux distributions or simply distros, some popular Linux distributions are Ubuntu, Arch, Debian, etc. I don’t consider myself a Linux veteran or an expert but in this article, I will share my knowledge and my experience regarding Linux and its distributions.

So, my journey with Linux started with me researching how I became an ethical hacker or a pentester. From that research, I concluded with using Linux, and later I found out Linux is not one thing and there are many operating systems based on Linux, so later on I chose Kali which is a Linux distribution created for the sole purpose of cybersecurity. I dual booted Kali and Windows for quite some time but later on, I deleted Windows and was using Kali as my main operating system but then Kali was not designed to be used as a main operating system, so I had to face quite some errors. So, I was searching for an alternative that can be used for hacking as well as a primary operating system. During that time, I found a script on Github which installed Kali tools on Ubuntu, so because of that I decided to switch to Ubuntu and I did. Everything was fine with Ubuntu but I figured something about Ubuntu. There are quite some reasons to use Linux like customizability, security, and many more. First of all, Ubuntu shipped with Gnome which is the least customizable and the heaviest desktop environment for Linux and also my least favorite desktop environment for those reasons. Unlike windows, there is not only one desktop, but there is also a different looking version of the desktop, they are called desktop environments. Also, Ubuntu was blamed to have trackers and various things like that preinstalled, and also they were criticized for making changes some power users did not like. Fortunately, there was a fork of Ubuntu that disabled all the features which were disliked but provided everything else Ubuntu provided, that distro became so famous that people don’t even know that it’s a Ubuntu fork now. Its name is Linux Mint. With Linux Mint, I also switched to quite some distros. I had tried many distros by that time.

Everything distro I used looked fantastic and elegant out of the box but that is not the reason why you use Linux. Also, every distro came with some apps which I will never really use, so I had to put extra effort to uninstall it. So, I searched for a distro that had no pre-installed package and I would decide how it would look instead of getting out of the box look. At the same time, I discovered Debian which gave me everything I was looking for, it came with almost no packages and only the software I wanted was installed which was just perfect. I used Debian for a long time and still love it to this date but there was a small thing that is not even a problem that made me switch from Debian. In Linux, we download all our software from a repository which you can think of like a software store, the difference in Linux is that every software is free and around 90% of packages you need are in the repository. Debian also has a repository but it also has another way of installing software, that is using ‘.deb’ files which is like an installer in Windows which I quite did not like, and Debian Stable version only provided tested software which is good but due to that I had to use some very old version of the software. So, I switched to Arch, Arch was even smaller than Debian, it installed everything from the repository, so that was the perfect choice for me now. But, Arch is known to be hard to use and even install. Every distribution I used before Arch gave an installer that would install the operating system but not with arch. The installer on any distribution runs a script that would install it. Arch expects you to do everything manually. There are some open-source projects like ArchFi and ZenInstaller which give you an installer to install arch but if you plan to install and use Arch as the main operating system, I recommend you to do it manually which would help you to configure it later.  It’s not just installing, even after you install it, you will only get CLI or command line, if you want a graphical user interface, you need to install it and configure it by yourself. It is quite common in Arch to have your microphone, camera, speaker, graphic card not working after you install it because you need to manually configure it. You also need to write some configuration files and edit some code while installing the arch. It may seem that installing Arch is really hard but it’s really not a big deal once you get used to it. It took me around 6 hours to install Arch on my first try but now I can install and fully configure it in under 1.5 hours. Arch was a god’s gift for me, to this date I love Arch to this date. Arch is the distro that I have used for the longest period of time. After I switched to Arch, I discovered window managers. So, what is a window manager, the window manager is the part of the desktop environment that shows the opened windows, the window manager gives the option to close, maximize and move windows. 

Everything is done in the window manager with keyboard shortcuts, so I wanted to use it, so I did. I switched to a window manager known as i3wm and sometimes later I switched to a window manager named awesomewm. Sometime later I discovered a website named “suckless.org” and the philosophy behind it, their philosophy was to create everything very minimalistic and let users add what they want in the code. They gave their source code instead of some executable so that you compile it with options that you need. Their most programs were written in C which is a programming language that I liked and had experience with, so after that I switched to dwm which is a window manager created by the suckless community. But later on I found out XMonad which I believe is the most minimal window manager, XMonad comes with nothing. When you start XMonad you will get a black screen, everything you have to configure on your own. It was written in Haskell which I did not have any experience with but after some I got used to it. I also switched to Vim from VS Code during this time. Vim is a text editor which expects you to do everything from keyboard not using mouse. I used these for quite some time and after that I found out about systemd, systemd is an init system used by Arch. Init system is a software which runs services and applications at startup, systemd is the most popular init system for Linux but it started having updates adding more features which was not needed and making it bloated, it also started doing things which are not supposed to be done by an init system which I did not like. So, I found a fork of Arch Linux called Artix which is almost the same as Arch but uses OpenRC which is another opensource init system instead of systemd. I switched to it and had almost identical settings that I had in Arch. Around this time, I had good experience with Arch and Linux, so I decided to create my own Linux distribution. I created an Arch based distribution during the pandemic and named it Delta OS. It is available in sourceforge if anyone wants to download it. After that I came to think about a fact I knew. A compiler which makes code to executable best suited for the processor, the executable you find online is created in another computer and kept in the internet. At this time, I wanted to compile everything, matching my thinking there is a distro named Gentoo which is not even a distro, I would call it a metadistro. In Gentoo everything is compiled from source code and its installation is also the same as Arch but more complicated. It took me around 14 hours to install Gentoo at my first attempt but now I think I can do that in about 3-4 hours.

I use Gentoo with XMonad and compile everything, even the Linux kernel from the source. I have written all the configuration by myself, so no one has the same looking desktop like I do. It takes around 112MB ram when opened and also takes very less storage space. I also have set keyboard shortcuts for everything. That is what I am using now. I have also thought about creating a distro from the Linux kernel really soon. I won’t recommend something like Gentoo, Arch and XMonad to everything, neither it is meant for everything. If you are someone like me who is extremely minimalist and anti-mainstream, like complicated and trying new things, I recommend you to check out those.

What is Math Rock?
- Prasoon Man Shrestha - 202201 ... 11 July, 2021

Math Rock is Prog Rock made by people who like Punk Rock but do not want to play punk music. When you listen to Math Rock it seems messy but unbelievably organized at the same time. Math Rock started taking shape around the mid-’90s in the USA. The influences of Math Rock are Indie Rock, Prog Rock, and more Hardcore stuff like Punk and Grunge. Most people even call Math Rock an Emo Jazz because it has the aesthetics of Emo rock and the improvised and more unstructured feel of Jazz.

Math rock is filled with unusual time signatures. Most of the pop songs use a 4/4 time signature whereas, Math rock normally uses a 9/8 unusual time signature. Math rock consists of odd time signatures, switching time signatures mid-song, and playing different notes, all these combined make something complicated as the name Math Rock suggests. Math Rock in theory suggests something that requires a lot of math. Usually, most of Math Rock consists of no vocals at all, unusual stops and starts, and many other characteristics. 

Math rock is aesthetically attractive and attracts the modern aesthetic and minimal trend. It is neither heavy nor too soft. Some of my go-to math rock bands are American Football, Toe, Tricot, and Don Caballero. For starters, I would recommend listening to Never Meant by American Football, and In the absence of strong evidence to the contrary, one may step out of the way of the charging bull by Don Caballero. These two songs roughly give an idea of what Math Rock is to the listener.

I completely understand whether you love or hate Math Rock. Math Rock is impressive but at the same time is not a genre that I choose to listen to all the time, I have to be in a specific mood to listen to Math Rock. If you are on the fence you should give it a try. It just might be your new favorite genre.

ऋतु
- Prasun Regmi - 22028, Grade X ... 11 July, 2021

यो पृथ्वी अर्थात् हामी बस्ने ग्रह, सौर्यमण्डलको एक सदस्य । पृथ्वीले सूर्यको परिक्रमा गर्न अर्थात् सूर्यको फन्को लगाउन ३६५ दिन लाग्दछ । यो ३६५ दिनको वर्ष हुन्छ । यसरी पृथ्वीको परिक्रमा गर्ने क्रममा पृथ्वी आफ्नो कक्षामा घुम्दै घुम्दै जाँदा पृथ्वीको उत्तरी गोलार्ध्द मार्ग पर्छ त कहिले दक्षिणी । त्यसैले माैसम कहिले चिसाे हुन्छ, कहिले न्यानो त कहिले वर्षा हुन्छ । यसरी वातावरणमा परिवर्तन आउँछ । यसरी वातावरण परिवर्तन ऋतुको कारणले हुन्छ । एक वर्षमा १२ महिना हुन्छन् । यी १२ महिनामा ६ वटा ऋतुहरू हुन्छन् । ती छ ऋतुहरूमा वसन्त ऋतु, गृष्म ऋतु, वर्षा ऋतु, शरद ऋतु, हेमन्त ऋतु र शिशिर ऋतुहरू हुन् । 

हाम्रा नेपाली १२ महिनाभित्रका ६ ऋतुहरूमा हरेक दुई महिनामा एक ऋतु पर्दछ, जस्तैः चैत र वैशाख महिना - वसन्त ऋतु, जेठ र असार - गृष्म ऋतु, साउन र भदाै - वर्षा ऋतु, असोज - कार्तिक - शरद ऋतु, मंसिर र पौष - हेमन्त ऋतु  र माघ र फागुन - शिशिर ऋतु । वसन्त ऋतु - बोट बिरुवाहरूमा नयाँ मुना लाग्दछ, पालुवा पलाएर चारैतिर हरियाली छाएको हुन्छ । फूलहरू ढकमक्क फुलेका हुन्छन् । यही वसन्त ऋतुमा हाम्रो नयाँ वर्ष आरम्भ हुन्छ । वातावरणमा चमक बढ्छ, फूलहरूले स्वागत गरेको जस्तो हुन्छ । चारैतिर हरियाली छाएर एक प्रकारले वातावरण रमणीय भएको हुन्छ । वसन्त ऋतुपछि गृष्म ऋतु आउँछ । यो जेठदेखि असार महिनासम्म पर्छ । यो ऋतुमा गर्मी धेरै हुन्छ । नयाँ पलुवा लागेका हरिया रुखहरू हुर्किएर वनजङ्गलहरू र हराभरा भएका हुन्छन् । चारैतिर हरियाली छाएको हुन्छ । असार महिना पनि पर्ने याे ऋतु मानो रोपेर मुरी फलाउने ऋतु पनि हो । यही ऋतुभित्र पर्ने महिनामा धान रोपिन्छ । यसपछि वर्षा ऋतु आउँछ । वर्षा ऋतुमा पनि धेरै पानी पर्छ । धान रोप्ने बेलाका किसानहरूको उत्साहको ऋतु हाे याे । त्यसपछि आउँछ, शरद ऋतु । यो शरद ऋतुमा चारैतिर धान लहलह झुलेर पहेँलै भइसकेको हुन्छ अनि हामी नेपालीहरूको महान् चाड दसैँ यही ऋतुमा पर्दछ । दसैँ तिहारको ऋतु शरद ऋतुमा रमणीय वातावरण हुन्छ । त्यसपछि हेमन्त अनि शिशिर ऋतु आउँछन् । 

यसरी नेपाली वर्षलाई ६ वटा ऋतुहरूमा विभाजन गरिएको छ । यिनै ऋतुअनुसार प्रकृतिले आफ्नो कार्य बडो सुन्दर रूपमा व्यव्स्थापन गरेको छ । वसन्त, गृष्म, वर्षा, शरद,  हेमन्त र शिशिर ऋतुहरूद्वारा नै वनस्पति र प्राणीहरूबिच एउटा अदभूत् सम्बन्ध गाँसिएको छ ।

Elon Musk: An Aspirant
- Manip Maharjan - 1178022, Gra ... 08 July, 2021

If you are not living under a rock you probably know Elon Musk and his feat. Elon Musk is a tech entrepreneur and one of the founders and investors of big-name companies such as Tesla which is named after Nikola Tesla and SpaceX. He also has multiple companies under his belts such as the Boring company, Neuralink, and OpenAI. 

Elon musk is a pretty eccentric fellow whose bold and risk-taking demeanor has made him international fame and wealth. Elon was born in the country of South Africa to a South African father and Canadian mother and moved to Canada at the age of 17 to not indulge in compulsory military service to a systematically racist military to caucasian like Musk. Though he had a rocky start it didn't stop him from making his first company Zip2 which provided people city guides and other useful commodities alongside his brother, later was sold for a whopping 307 million dollars and other tech start-ups such as X.Com which merged itself to PayPal and was sold to eBay for 1.5 billion dollars. 

Why has Elon Musk gained so much traction? 

The reason Elon Musk has gained a lot of traction is his presence in social media and his good side of humor and his frequent posts about memes and other things such as podcasts which appeal to a huge number of people. Elon Musk is also known for his creative yet thought-provoking names such as naming his company “the boring company” and naming his flamethrower “not a flamethrower “ and smoking weed in a podcast. You can say Musk is kind of a walking talking billboard but he is something more than that, his extreme level of work ethic of putting out 120 hours per week and his tendency to not take any breaks has made him billions of dollars. 

His ambition for his two most prominent companies is to make space travel more accessible and to make electric cars cheaper and cooler. His ambition for SpaceX and Tesla are going pretty good per se with SpaceX’s reusable rockets which have earned him multi-billion dollars of contracts with NASA and other investors and unlike most companies. Elon Musk’s company Tesla does not even have to spend a dime in advertisement and the product does the advertise for itself by a huge content creator making a ton of videos of them and numerous media outlets making news coverage about the upcoming product. Elon Musk’s aspiration to make human beings extraterrestrial species and says that the human species are in imminent threat which is emphasizing on building homes for humans beyond this world is pretty self-sufficient. 

In conclusion,with enough aspiration and a mind which is willing to yearn for as much information as it can, anyone no matter their background or heritage, can be as successful and affluential as Musk.

नेपालमा विद्युतीकरण

हामी मानिसहरू आफ्नो जीवन गुजारा गर्नका लागि ऊर्जाका स्रोतहरूकाे प्रयोग गर्छौं । ऊर्जाका स्रोतहरूमध्ये विद्युतीय ऊर्जा एक हो । विद्युतीय ऊर्जा बग्ने पानी, रसायन, सौर्य ऊर्जा आदिको प्रयोग गरेर उत्पादन गरिन्छ । संसारमा विद्युतीय ऊर्जाको प्रयोग बढ्दै छ र धेरै देशहरूले यसको उत्पादनले आफ्नो अर्थतन्त्र बलियो बनाएका छन् । नेपाल हिमालयको काखमा रहेको देश भएकाले यहाँ हिमालयबाट उत्पत्ति भएका सयौँ नदीहरू बग्छन् । यी नदीहरूको बहाब निकै तेज छ र यसबाट धेरै मात्रामा विद्युत् उत्पादन गर्न सकिन्छ । 

संसारमा अहिले कोइला, पेट्रोलियम पदार्थजस्ता ऊर्जाका स्रोतले प्रदूषण बढाएका छन् ।  यस्ता प्रदूषण बढाउने ऊर्जाका स्रोतका ठाउँमा हामीले विद्युतीय ऊर्जाकाे उत्पादन गर्नुपर्छ । नेपालमा ८३,००० मेगावाट विद्युत् उत्पादन गर्ने क्षमता छ । यत्रो सङ्ख्यामा विद्युत उत्पादन गरे हामीले अरू प्रदूषण बढाउने ऊर्जाका स्रोतहरू प्रयोग गर्नु पर्दैनथ्यो । नेपालको अहिलेको वातावरणीय अवस्था नाजुक नभए पनि कोइला र पेट्रोलियमजस्ता ऊर्जाको स्रोतको प्रयोग हटेन भने वातावरणीय अवस्था नाजुक बन्ने छ । यसरी वातावरणलाई सन्तुलित राखेर देश विकास गर्नका लागि हामीले नेपालीहरूका लागि विद्युतीय ऊर्जा नै सबैभन्दा उत्तम हो भनेर विश्वास देखाउनुपर्छ । 

विद्युत अर्थात बिजुलीको प्रयोगले हामी घरमा रहेका अनेकौँ विद्युतीय सामानहरू, जस्तैः टेलिभिजन, कम्प्युटर, लुगाहरू धुने मेसिन, भाँडा माझ्ने मेसिन र अन्य कुराहरूको प्रयोग गर्न सक्छौँ । घरका साना साना मेसिन मात्र होइन, प्रशस्त विद्युतीय ऊर्जाले हामी गाडी, बस, पानी जहाज, हवाइ जहाज आदि ठुला ठुला मेसिन पनि चलाउन सकिन्छ । यसो भएमा हाम्रो जीवन सहज र राम्राे बन्छ । यसरी विद्युत्‌काे प्रयोगले दैनिक जीवनमा धेरै काम गर्न र पुरै देश विद्युत्‌मा भर पर्नुलाई नै विद्युतीकरण भनिन्छ ।

The Rising of the Shield Hero
- Swornim KC - 2022017, Grade X ... 30 June, 2021

“ The Rising of the Shield Hero” may be a great anime. Its Producers are Frontier Works, AT-X, Nippon Columbia, Glovision, Good Smile Company, Sammy, Kadokawa Media House, NTT Plala, Kadokawa, Crunchyroll SC Anime Fund.
It's about the Four Cardinal Heroes, a gaggle of ordinary men from modern-day Japan summoned to the dominion of Melromarc to become its saviors. Melromarc may be a country suffering from the Waves of Catastrophe that have repeatedly ravaged the land and brought disaster to its citizens for hundreds of years . The four heroes are respectively bestowed a sword, spear, bow, and shield to vanquish these Waves. Naofumi Iwatani, an otaku, becomes cursed with the fate of being the "Shield Hero." Armed with only a measly shield, Naofumi is belittled and ridiculed by his fellow heroes and therefore the kingdom's people thanks to his weak offensive capabilities and lackluster personality.
When the heroes are given resources and comrades to coach with, Naofumi sets out with the sole person willing to coach alongside him, Malty Melromarc. He is soon betrayed by her, falsely accused of taking advantage of her. Naofumi then becomes heavily discriminated against and hated by the people of Melromarc for something he didn't do. With a raging storm of hurt and mistrust in his heart, Naofumi begins his journey of strengthening himself and his reputation. Further, the matter of being on his own sets in, so Naofumi buys a demi-human slave on the verge of death named Raphtalia to accompany him on his travels.As the Waves approach the dominion , Naofumi and Raphtalia must fight for the survival of the dominion and protect the people of Melromarc from their ill-fated future.
I recommend you to watch this anime because it is scored 8.01 in myanimelist.net. The genre is a combination of Action, Adventure, Drama, and Fantasy. It is typically the weakest to strongest type of anime, the betrayal and blind rage is what makes it fun and exciting to observe . The second season is coming soon and I am eagerly waiting for it. So if you're curious about Isekai anime, I want you to watch this and feel the experience.

जित्न सक्ने भावना
- Samrat Nakarmi - 2022011, Gra ... 30 June, 2021

“जीवन सबै जीवजन्तुको छोटो हुन्छ । कसैको आयु छाेटाे हुन्छ भने कसैको आयु लामो । सबै मान्छेलाई आफ्नो जीवनमा केही ठुलो गर्ने वा ठुलाे बन्ने इच्छा हुन्छ तर धेरैले यस्ताे गर्न सक्दैनन् । आफ्नो नाम इतिहासमा लेख्दा नि मान्छेलाई सन्तुष्टि हुँदैन । मान्छेहरूको मनमा एउटा खाली ठाउँ जहिले रहन्छ । सबै आफ्ना लागि राम्रो गर्ने ठाउँ खोज्छन् तर परिस्थिले मान्छेलाई आफ्नो बाटामा रोक्दिन्छ । हामी के गर्न सक्छाैँ भन्ने कुरा, हाम्राे क्षमता, जन्म, मृत्यु सबै कुरा प्राकृतिक नियम अन्तर्गत पर्दछन् । हाम्रो वर्तमान संसारमा मानिसहरू दिनरात काम गर्छन् तर केही पनि प्राप्त गर्न सक्दैनन् । पैसा ठुलो कुरा हो तर के काम यसकाे, जुन आज छ तर भोलि छैन । धनसम्पत्ति सबै कमाएर राख्दा के पाइन्छ ? यस्ताे अवस्थामा धन कमाएर मात्र राख्नु आफ्नो जीवनलाई बरबाद गर्नु जत्तिकै हो तर के गर्न सक्छाैँ र हामी ? हामीलाई त भाग्यले नि साथ दिँदैन, हामी युद्ध गर्न र युद्धमै मर्न बाध्य छाैँ ।” राम युद्धपाेतमा बसेर सधैँ यस्तै साेच्थ्याे ।

राम एउटा मिहिनेती, सहयोगी र राम्रो व्यवहारको व्यक्ति थियो । दिनरात मिहिनेत गरेर आफ्नो परिवार चलाउने व्यक्ति, जसलाई सबैले चिन्छन् र सम्मान गर्छन् । कसैको त राम प्रेरणाको स्रोत पनि हो । कसैलाई त उसको चेला बन्न मन छ । दिनरात काम गर्ने एउटा मध्यम वर्गको मान्छेलाई किन यस्तो व्यवहार देखाएको होला भनेर अरू राज्यका मान्छेको जिज्ञासा बढेको थियो । राम हरेक दिन काममा जन्थ्यो । आफ्नो परिवारसँग बिताउने समय पनि कहिले थिएन । 

‘रामले के  गर्थ्यो र त्यस्तो ?

राम एउटा सिपाही थियो । ऊ २ वर्षका लागि युद्धपोतहरूको सेनापति थियाे । १००० मान्छे उसको मातहतमा काम गर्थे । राज्यहरूको जमिनमा मात्र होइन, समुद्रमा पनि युद्ध हुन्थ्यो ।  कसले सोचेको थियो र त्यस्ताे विकास हुन्छ भनेर ? हरेक देशले दिनको १०० जति युद्धपोत निर्माण गर्थे । समुद्र एउटा सुन्दर दृश्य भएको ठाउँ र शान्त ठाउँ, अब मानव जातिले गर्दा शान्त रहेन । जता हेरे पनि जम्मा भएका फलामका टुक्राहरू, तेलले गर्दा पानीमा लागेकाे आगाले गर्दा माछाहरूलाई सास फेर्न समस्या हुने । रामलाई यस्तो हेर्न मन थिएन, जहाँ गए पनि मान्छेहरूलाई युद्ध गर्न मात्र आउँछ । “किन हामी मर्न जाने ? हामीले के पाउँछाै र ? किन मान्छेहरूले यी राजाहरूका कुरा मान्छन् ?” रामलाई आफ्नो यो जिन्दगी मन परेन ।  आफ्नो परिवार बचेको छ कि छैन भन्ने पनि उसलाई थाहा छैन । उसलाई देशका लागि लड्न मात्र भनिएको छ । आफ्नो परिवारको बारेमा सोध्दा कसैले केही भन्दैन । ऊ रुने अवस्थामा पुगिसकेको थियो । “दिन रात मर्ने डरले काम गरे पनि के पाएको छु मैले याे जिन्दगीमा ? मेरो नाम आज सबैले याद गरेका होलान् तर म नभएको दिन सबैले बिर्सिन्छन् ।” ऊ आँखामा आँसु बोकेर सोच्दै थियो । 

“ठुलाका विरूद्ध बाेल्याे भने मारिदिन्छन् र यो मेरो जिन्दगी यस्तै भयो भने पनि म युद्धको मैदानमा मर्ने छु । जहाँ हेरे पनि, जहाँ गए पनि हामीलाई मर्नै लेखेको रहेछ भाग्यमा । कतिलाई मारेँ, कति मरेको देखेँ । त्यो समय सम्झँदा पनि मेरो शरीर पुरै डरले काँप्छ । दिनरात सुत्न सक्दिनँ । कहिलेकाहीँ त मर्दा नै राम्रो हुन्छ भन्ने सोच्छु, तर परिवार हराउने डरले म केही गर्न सक्दिनँ । हामी यहाँ किन याे संसारमा आएका हाैँ ? के दुःखकष्टहरू भोग्नलाई मात्र हाे ?” 

रामले आफ्ना यी सबै विचारहरू, कुराहरू जनता र उसका चेलाहरूलाई बुझायाे । पहिलो पटकमा कोही सुन्न तयार थिएन तर जब उसले ठुलो स्वरमा सबैको अवस्थामा सुधार गर्न सक्छु भन्यो, तब सबैजना उसका कुरा सुन्न तयार भए । रामको काम र उसले सिकाएका कुरा देशभर चर्चित भए । सबैजनालाई रामले बताएको कुरा सही लाग्यो । यो कुरा सरकारले सहन सकेन ।

“यो जिन्दगीमा अब मर्ने नै हो भने किन डराएर, असन्तुष्ट भएर मर्ने ? सबैको मनभित्र राम्रा कुरा जगाएर देशलाई राम्रो बाटोमा लगेर मर्छु । देशको लागि अरू देशसँग लडेर ज्यान दिन तयार थिएँ, अब देशलाई यसरी बिग्रिनबाट बचाउन आफ्नो सबै थाेक दिन तयार छु ।”
रामका कार्यले धेरै ठुलो क्रान्ति सुरु भएको थियो । यो क्रान्ति देखेर युद्ध विराेधी अरू विदेशी राज्यहरूले पनि रामलाई सहयोग गरे ।
        
तर के गर्ने ? जे गरे पनि जीवित वर्गकाे मृत्यु निश्चित थियो । शक्तिशाली क्रूर सरकारले रामलाई उठाएर सबैकाे अगाडि टेलिभिजनमा प्रत्यक्ष प्रसारण गरेर मारिदियाे । यो घटनाले मान्छेहरू क्रान्तिमा झन् प्रतिवद्ध भएर लागे र पछि रामको ठाउँ लिन उसको छोराे हाजिर भयो । अन्त्यमा जित उनीहरूकै भयाे र जनताहरूले रामले साेचेजस्तै शान्तिपूर्वक बाँच्न पाए ।
 
सबैको जीवन सोचेजस्तो हुँदैन र सबैजना सोचेजस्तो सफल हुँदैनन्, । कहिलेकाहीँ सफल हुनका लागि धेरै ठुलाे त्याग र बलिदानकाे आवश्यकता हुन्छ । सफल बन्न धेरै गाह्रो नहुन सक्छ तर सफलता कायम राख्न गाह्रो छ ।
