माघ २६ गते म बिहानैदेखि निकै उत्साहित थिएँ किनभने मेरो स्कुलमा त्यस दिन पदयात्रा थियो । नगरकोटदेखि तेलकोट हुँदै चाँगुनारायणसम्म हिँड्दै गरिने घुमघाम कस्तो हुन्छ हाेला भन्ने मेरो दिमागमा घुमिरहेको थियो । त्यो दिन मैले घरबाट विभिन्न चकलेट र केही खाजा लगेको थिएँ । विद्यालय पुग्ने बेला पनि मेरो दिमागमा एउटै कुरा घुमिरह्यो। जब म स्कुल पुगेँ, मेरा सबै साथीहरू तयार भइसकेका थिए । ९:३० मा हामी खाजा खान गयौँ ।त्यहाँ पनि हामी सबैजना पदयात्राकै कुरा गरिरहेका थियौँ । हामी छिटै खाना खाइसकेर १०ः०० बजे लाइनमा बस्यौँ । बस १०ः२५ मा आइपुग्यो । सिफलबाट हाम्रो यात्रा सुरु भयो । विमानस्थल छेउबाट नेपाल आउने र जाने विमान हेर्दै नगरकोट गयौँ । बसमा हामी सबै नगरकोटको कुरा गरिरहेका थियौँ । बाटोमा देखिएका रमणीय दृश्यहरूले हाम्रो मन तानिरहेको थियो । तेलकोट हाम्रा लागि नौलो थिएन । नगरकोट भने कोही गइसकेका थिए र कोही जान बाँकी थिए । बस नगरकोटको टुप्पोमा गएर रोकियो । नगरकोटको टुप्पोमाबाट हाम्रो पदयात्रा सुरु भयो । हामीले उत्साहका साथ पदयात्रा सुरु गर्यौं । म मेरा साथीहरू र शिक्षकहरूसँग पहिलो लाइनमा हिँडेकाे थिएँ। म अगाडिअगाडि उत्साहका हिँडिरहेको थिएँ । मेरो साथमा ५५ जना विद्यार्थी र दुई शिक्षक हामीसँगै आउनुभएको थियो । हामी जङ्गलमा होइन बाटोमा हिँडिरहेका थियौँ त्यसैले मलाई यो पदयात्रा अरु बेला हुने पदयात्रा भन्दा निकै नै भिन्न लागिरहेको थियो । हामीले शिक्षकसँग कैयौँ ठाउँमा फोटो खिच्यौँ । हामीलाई अलिकति छिटो नै हिँड्नु थियो किनभने हामीलाई चाँगुनारायण पनि जानु थियो। तर चाँगुनारायण जाने सपना सपनामै सीमित रह्यो । हामीले एक ठाउँमा सेतासेता सुन्दर चरा देख्यौँ । त्यो देखेर साथीहरू सबै फोटो खिच्न र शिक्षक पनि फोटो खिच्न थाल्नुभयो । साँच्चै नगरकोट सुनेबुझे जस्तै सफा, स्वच्छ र अति नै सुन्दर थियो । हामी उचाइको रोडमा हिँडिरहेका थियौँ त्यसैले त तिर साँखुमा अवस्थित महालक्ष्मीको सुन्दर मन्दिर देख्यौँ । त्यसलाई हामीले पहिलाको पदयात्रामा पनि देखिसकेका थियौँ । समयको कमीका कारण हामी चाँगुनारायण जान असफल भयाैँ । चाँगुनारायणबाट तेलकोटको बाटो ७ किलोमिटरको हो। हामीले १६ मिनेटमै एक किलोमिटर हिँडिसकेका थियौँ । तर पछि के भयो थाहा नै भएन । हामीलाई एक किलोमिटर पूरा गर्न पनि मुस्किलले ४५ मिनेट लाग्यो । हामीले एक ठाउँमा पानीको धारा देख्यौँ । हामीले मुख धोएर यात्रा जारी राख्यौँ । हामीले बाटोमा विभिन्न जनावरहरूलाई मेस्सी, रोनाल्डो, हल्यान्ड र एमबाप्पे भनिरहेका थियौँ । त्यसाेभन्दा हामीलाई मज्जा आइरहेको थियो ।अब हामी टेलकोट नजिकै थियौँ । लगातार यो पटक धेरै नै हिँडेको हुनाले हामी थकित भयौँ । हामीलाई हिँड्ने आँटै आएन । हामी त्यहाँ केही समय बस्याैँ र फेरि पदयात्रा जारी राख्यौँ । हामी रोडै रोड नगरकोटको डाँडापाखा र हिमालको रमणीय दृश्य हेर्दै हिँडिरहेका थियौँ । हामीले फेरि साइन बोर्ड हेर्दा थाहा पायौँ, तेलकोट पुग्न अब मात्र एक किलोमिटर थियो । हामी थाकेर चुर भइसकेका थियौँ । अन्तत बिस्तारै हामी हिँड्दै हिँड्दै तेलकोट पुग्यौँ । नगरकोटलाई हेर्ने हो भने र तेलकोटलाई हेर्ने हो भने तेलकोटमा धेरै बजारहरू थिए । साथीहरूले खाजाका लागि केही खानेकुराहरू किने। निष्कर्ष के भयो भने, अब हामी चाँगुनारायण जान भ्याउँदैनौँ । त्यसैले हाम्रा शिक्षकहरूले हामीलाई तेलकोटमाथिको जंगलमा रहेको एउटा ठाउँमा खाना खुवाउन लाग्नुभयो। हामी आफ्नो अनुभव सुनाउँदै आफ्ना मिठा परिकार बाँडीचुडी खायौँ । खाना खाएपछि हामी जङ्गलबाट झर्यौँ । त्यहाँ हाम्रो विद्यालयको गाडी हामीलाई लिन आइसकेको थियो । हामी गाडीमा चढ्यौँ र फरक बाटोबाट घुम्दै फिर्दै अन्त्यमा एयरपोर्ट नै पछाडिको बाटो मित्रपार्क पुग्यौँ र मित्र पार्कबाट सिफल पुग्यौँ । जहाँ हाम्रो विद्यालय थियो । त्यस दिनको पदयात्रा निकै नै रमाइलो भएको थियो । अविस्मरणीय र आश्चर्यजनक भएको थियो ।
“All humans are equal, but some are more equal than the others”
This world is political. Some people will always have more power than the others due to their wealth, fame, influence or connections. And amongst these people, the super rich, the top 1% of the world will control the major events of the world. By ‘super rich’, it doesn't mean young and new self-made entrepreneurs that have succeeded because of their unique ideas, it focuses on wealthy families that own a certain percentage of these big brand companies that we hear about on a daily basis. The rich can alter the media, the events and even governmental decisions and laws according to their interest.
We’ve heard of politicians and business owners committing tax evasion and some people even back it up with things like, “The rich gotta stay rich”, but if a man gets rich and successful, shouldn’t they contribute back to the country that gave them the opportunity to even start a business? So by that logic, the richer you are, the more taxes you pay. But even a crime like tax evasion is the surface of what the rich do. So, let’s delve deeper into how the rich actually control the world.
Another thing is, billionaires actually wish for war. Sounds sickening right? But most of the billionaires actually own some equity, if not the whole thing of weapon manufacturers and suppliers. Yes, these weapon suppliers sell the weapons to the governments of big countries. And obviously, the most demand of guns would be in war-time, so all these self-proclaimed ‘advocates of peace’ actually despise peace, well if that’s in their benefit of course. Celebrities get lighter sentences or even get away completely with their huge crimes while others get an unreasonably high fine or even jail-time for some petty crimes.
The top 1% contribute to almost half of the global economy while millions are hungry, naked and homeless. Here’s another fact- the rich don’t want world hunger, poverty or homelessness to end. Here’s why- if there are less poor people and more rich people, the value of the money they have will definitely decrease and they wouldn’t like that, would they? The term used for the rich controlling the majority of the world is ‘Plutocracy’. Now that I’ve set the baseline, let’s look at some examples.
There is a popular theory that Prince Charles or now King Charles planned the death of his wife Princess Diana as he was in love with Camilla. King Charles knew that the public loved Princess Diana and that divorce wasn’t an option so he planned her death and later got married with Camilla. But again, it’s just a theory. But still, if there’s even a slight chance that a powerful person committed a crime like murder and still got away is crazy to think about.
In conclusion, I’m not telling you that the rich control the world, there is simply no solid evidence for it. But if the light evidence and theories make sense to you, then I’m also not telling you that you’re wrong. I’ve simply presented the facts to you, so now I ask you this, “Do the Rich Control the World?”
दुइतीन दिनपछि घरबाट बाहिर निस्किएकी म
आकाशमा घण्टै हेरूँ जस्तै लाग्यो
घाम, बादल र पशुपंक्षीबाहेक अरू केही थिएन ।
पृथ्वीले आफ्नो रूप फेरे जस्तै पनि लाग्यो
झरनाको पानी भर्दा अझ मन लोभ्यायो
हरिया जमिन, नीलो आकाश, रुख, बोट बिरुवा ।
बाहिर बस्दाबस्दै मेराे मन लाेभ्यायाे ।
कहिले अन्त्य हुँदैन भन्ने लाग्यो
अलि पर पुगेपछि जनावहरूमा मेरो आँखा गयो
कति आनन्द र खुसी देखिन्थे
हरियालीपनमा तिनले तिर्सना मेट्थे ।
जरायो, खरायो , बिरालो , गाई रमाउँदै थिए
पहाड पनि मुसुक्क हाँसे, लाखौ प्राणी हासे झैँ
प्रकृति र त्यहाँका आवाजबाहेक अरू केही छैन
तिनै सुन्दरतामा आँखाकाे तिर्सना मेटिँदैन ।
एकछिन सपना हो कि बिपना हो
छुट्याउन सकिन
प्रकृतिको सुन्दरता हराएँ म
पृथ्वीमा म एक्लो मानिस जस्तै थिएँ ।
त्यस्तो आनन्द ठाउँमा मैले तपस्या गरेँ ।
Media can expose children to cyberbullying, making them feel sad and even leading to suicide. It can also reduce the time children spend with their families, making them feel lonely. Plus, the media can distract kids from important things like schoolwork and harm their performance in school.
The internet has its drawbacks, too. It can be addictive, a waste of time, and a platform for bullying, trolls, and stalkers. Violent images can also be harmful. Being too engrossed in the internet can disconnect kids from their responsibilities and make it hard for them to focus.
Some kids may experience negative effects on their brains, leading to issues like hyperactivity, emotional problems, and difficulties with socialising. They might even have trouble maintaining a healthy weight.
Using the internet can sometimes lead to hurtful behaviour, as people feel anonymous and free from consequences. This can cause psychological issues like anxiety, depression, and harmful thoughts among youth.
To protect kids from these negative influences, parents can:
By taking these steps, parents can help their kids stay safe .
Through dark alleys,
No sky, no roof above.
Where are the stars,
Where did they move?
What is this place? The curiosity grows.
As I go past this alley, a torch is on my side.
The light disappears, the battery dies.
The uneven roads, the unclear path.
Where am I headed, the question lingers in my head.
The mist surrounds me it's blinds my eye.
The darkness is unclear.
Is this a lie?
Tight spaces barely move.
The barking of dogs in the middle of noon.
Who built the walls surrounding this place.
Full of dust that fills these days.
The destination is uncertain.
The journey is unclear
What is this pathway?
Why do I fear?
The echoes above my head
The past lingering behind me,
But the darkness awaits me
The path I can’t see.
Is this where I am meant to be?
The path with a door but no key.
If not, where am I supposed to be?
काठमाडौँ अनि भक्तपुरकाे बिचमा ललितपुर थियाे
बिचकाे त्यो ठाउँ ललितपुरमा मेराे आफ्नो जन्म भयाे
असोज बाइस उनान्सत्तरी सालमा म जन्मे थेँ
त्याे सोमबार रविका साथ धर्तीमा चम्के थेँ
न्वारन भयो त्यो भक्तपुरको कमेरोटारमा
नाम भयो संविद प्यारो लाग्यो पैसा थियो हातमा
५ महिनापछि भात ख्वाइ भयो म चकचक गर्दै थिएँ
सबजनासँग रमाउन पाउँदा म पनि मख्ख थिएँ
बिस्तारै बोली फुटेको थियो घोडा झैँ हिँड्दथेँ
आफन्तहरू साथीभाइहरू पनि सबजना चिन्दथेँ
तीन चार वर्षकाे भएथेँ धुरुरु रुने गर्दथेँ
माेबाइल पाउँदा म शान्त हुन्थेँ अनि खुसी पनि हुन्थेँ
भर्ना भएँ स्कुलमा अब साथीभाइ बनाएँ
चिप्लेटीबाट चिप्लिन पाउँदा म निकै रमाएँ ।
Brain drain is the emigration of qualified people that go from the place of origin to the host
country. This is a major problem for Nepal as a lot of teens and adults who are skilled and
qualified are going to other countries. The reasons for migrations are poor living standards,
political disputes, not enough economic growth, and poverty.
Effects of Brain Drain
Brain drain is the decline of skilled people, reduction in tax collection and revenue for the country, decline of future entrepreneurs, low literacy rate for the country, etc. Some positive aspects of brain drain are better work opportunities for the migrants, more remittance for the country and more foreign transactions. Small nations must address brain drain by increasing labor conditions, funding research and education, and fostering a sense to attract skilled individuals and support local growth, despite limited national funds.
Solution to problem
The solution of this type of problem would be very complex as the country cannot change
overnight neither can the perspective of the citizens of the country can change overnight so it
would be a long and lengthy process for the solution of this kind of problem but the government
can implement a temporary solution before moving to the permanent solution. If the country
does not go for the temporary solution, there would be no one left to see the permanent solution
as there would already be a lot of people that have already gone to another country. Thus because
of this the immediate action that the government should take is to find that temporary solution
which is the best for the people and implement it as soon as possible.
As a temporary solution they could improve the mindsets of the people. An all-encompassing and methodical approach is needed to address the brain drain issue. To draw in and keep qualified workers, governments must prioritize fostering a pleasant workplace culture. Providing competitive pay, better working conditions, and chances for professional progression are all part of this. To allure one's native nation, it is imperative to invest in infrastructure related to research and education. Skilled workers may be encouraged to stay or come back through incentive packages like tax cuts and research funding. An atmosphere that is prosperous at home may be achieved by supporting entrepreneurship and professional networking through supportive legislation. Along with encouraging cooperation in research and development, governments should work together internationally. As the permanent solution they could provide more facilities, improve economic growth etc.
In conclusion, brain drain can be a problem but brain gain is an opportunity.
प्रकृति रमाइलो, सुन्दरताको साथी,
हिमाल, पहाड र तराई, प्रकृतिकै विशाल साथी।
हरियो रङका डाँडा, खुसीले भरिएको बगैचा,
किरणहरूले चमक सुन्दरताको सुन्दर भाग।
फूलहरूको रङमा रमाइलो सुरुवात,
गहिरो निलो आकाशमा उड्ने पुतलीहरूको साथ ।
पानीको झरनाले गर्दै बगिरहने कलकलाउँदो,
प्रकृतिको सुन्दरताले मनमा बसाउँछ रङ्ग भरिलाे ।
साना साना पशुहरू, फूलहरूको खेल,
चराहरूको चर्चित, खुसीले भरिएको खेल ।
हरियो रङको बारी, गर्दै बगिरहने वन,
प्रकृतिको सुन्दरताले बढाउँछ सबैको मन ।
हिउँले ठुलो पहाड छाडेर,
बिहानी उठेर निस्कन्छ धूपको तारा।
जाने र आउँने बदलिने रमाइलाे मौसम,
प्रकृतिको सुन्दरताले भरिएर दिनचर्यामा रमाउँछ झन्
माटोका रङहरूले भरिएर बस्छ यहाँ,
फूलहरूको गन्धले छैन त्यो खाली जहाँ ।
झरना, नदी र ताल अचम्मका साथी,
प्रकृतिको सुन्दरताले बढाउँछ खुसी
धेरै छैनन् शब्दहरू मेरो अभिव्यक्ति गर्न,
पर्याप्त हुन्छ यो छोटो चित्रण
प्रकृतिको मनोहारी सुन्दरताको।
आफ्नो मनमा बसाउँछ यो अनुभव,
फूलहरूले हामीलाई हर्ष ल्याउँछन्
प्रकृतिमा सजाउँछन् ।
When you hear words like "cruel," "chaotic," "evil," and "destruction," what comes to mind? Yes, "villain". We usually think of a villain. A villain is someone really bad in stories who does mean things and causes a lot of trouble. Then there is the hero, who is the opposite of the villain. They are usually strong, fast, and smart, and they are usually the main characters. In movies or shows, we often see the hero fighting the villain, and usually, the hero wins, and everyone is happy.
But have you ever thought about what happens after the big fight? Often, there is a lot of damage. Buildings are destroyed, and people's lives are messed up. But we do not really focus on that. We are just happy the hero won.
Some people might say that heroes are more real because they hide their problems, unlike villains. But the truth is, heroes also hide their struggles. They act strong even when they're hurting inside. And when they finally break down, people rush to help them, not realizing how much they are hiding.
At least villains are honest about who they are. They do not pretend to be good when they are not. Maybe there is something good about that in a world where so many heroes seem fake.
हिँड्छु म केही उद्देश्यबिना,
यो पीडाबाट निस्कने केही बाटो,
तर के गर्नु,
हरेक ठाँउमा भरिएका छन् छ पीडा,
स्वर्ग कस्तो होला भन्ने लाग्थ्यो,
तर भेटाइनँ मैले कहिल्यै,
खोज्थेँ म केही, तर थाहा भएन
एउटा बाटो,
यस्तो बाटो जुनले मलाई खुसी बनाओस्,
जीवनको सुन्दरता देखाओस्,
तर कहिल्यै भेटिन मैले,
अरू अनुसार मेरो जीवन थियो एक कथा,
मानिसले कल्पना गरेझैँ,
तर मैले देखिन यसको आस्था,
सधैँ उठ, यो गर, त्यो गर,
कसैले सोधेन कि म के गर्न चाहन्थे,
सबै आ-आफनै स्वार्थले कुरा गर्थे,
आफूलाई फाइदा हुने बाटोतर्फ धकेल्थे,
तर एक चोटि पनि मलाई म के गर्ने सोधेनन्,
तर अब म बिझ्छु,
मानिस जत्तिकै असल हुन खोजे पनि,
कहीँ न कहीँ, कता न कता,
छ त्यो स्वार्थी,
यसकै बन्धनबाट नै मुक्त हुन,
खोत्दै छु म एक बाटो,
तर भेटाउँला कि न भेटाउँला,
त्योसँग मेरो केही सम्बन्ध छैन,
बस् म मुक्त हुन चाहन्छु।
“I’m sorry mom, I could not make you and dad proud. I finally understood life is Hard, yes it is.” These were the words written in the letter. Ava’s mom had found this letter under Ava’s bed’s pillow. Ava’s mom did not understand a word since she was not wearing her glasses. But when she did see the written words. She regretted it.
Ava was a 17 year old girl living happily with her family. Her father, Ramnath was a police officer, he often was posted near the valley. But for a few months, he had been posted to far districts. So, Ramnath decided that his family will not go where he goes. So, he called his family and told them to come to Kathmandu and live with Anjali and Ava. This was the first time Anjali and Ava had a permanent residence. They were not used to this. Ava always demanded to visit new places but, since in the absence of her father she could not.
Anjali was always occupied with her in-law’s. Anjali used to be so tired by the evening that the only thing she could think of was sleeping. Ava had her own room. A huge room. But usually, it's a bit messy. She used to get scolded by her mother but she didn’t care. She always wanted to be a model. A famous one. Who had her own car, a huge mansion and many more lavish items. But she never had the courage to say it to her parents. Anjali and Ramnath wanted their daughter to be a doctor or an engineer. But Ava’s wish was completely opposite.
28 January was Ava’s birthday but Ramnath could not make it. It was Ava’s 18th birthday. Ava had planned that she would tell her parents and her family about her passion but, since Ramnath was not there she didn’t say it. Was devastated by her absence by the absence of Ramnath on her 18th birthday. Ramnath reached home 3 days after Ava’s birthday. On February first. After Ramnath arrived in home, Ava told her dad, “Dad I want to be a model, I promise I will make you proud so please let me be a model”
Ramnath felt numb for a second and slapped Ava and said, “Either you stay in this house and become a successful doctor or an engineer or live in the streets and become a model and forget that you even had parents.”
Ava was broken by Ramnath’s words. Anjali tried to take her daughter’s support but her in-law’s were against Anjali. Anjali continued her studies and started preparing for her unwanted life. She cracked her NEET exam but she didn't want to continue her life in suffocation. But she had no choice but to kill her dreams and continue killing her true self day by day. First day of her college, scared, worried, angry and suffocated by her own life. She sat in the second seat. Soon a girl came and sat beside her. She introduced herself as Shamita Pant. Shamita asked, “excited?” Ava replied with a dark guilt and pain in her face, “ Nope”. That was it for the whole day. Shamita tried talking to her but she always said, “ I’m not a social person, please!” and hearing this Shamita backed off. One day after the classes were over Ava left in a hurry. Shamita saw something fall off Ava's bag. It was a pack of pills. Shamita went to the nearest pharmacy and asked about it. Ava was taking depression pills.
Shamita decided to talk to her but, instead Ava was furious and told Shamita not to tell anything to anyone. Days continued. Ava started skipping classes and locking herself in her room.
One day Ava told her parents that she wanted to take a room in college for better concentration. Ramnath immediately said yes.
Ava started taking a double dose of the medication. One day Ava called her parents and said, “ Ma, I think you guys should visit my hostel, it’s beautiful.” They were delighted and they said, “ Why not, Ava, We’ll come next Saturday.”
After that Ava borrowed a pen from Shamita and wrote “ Life is Hard, isn’t it Shamita?” in Shamita’s diary. And Shamita wrote in reply, “ Haha, yes it is!”...
Next Saturday, Ava was lying in her bed and the door was open. Her parents came in and saw Ava sleeping and saw a piece of paper under her pillow.
हाम्राे डियरवाक सिफल स्कुलले माघ २६ गते कक्षा ५, ६, ७ र ८ मा अध्ययन गर्ने सम्पूर्ण विद्यार्थीहरूलाई पदयात्रामा लगेकाे थियाे । कक्षाअनुसार पदयात्रा गर्ने ठाउँहरू फरक फरक थिए । हाम्राे कक्षा ६ काे पदयात्राकाे गन्तव्य नगरकाेटदेखि तेलकाेटसम्मकाे थियाे । हामीलाई २६ गते बिहान ९ बजे नै विद्यालय आउन भनिएकाे थियाे । हामी बिहान ९:३० बजे खाना खान गयौँ । त्यसपछि १० बजे बसको प्रतीक्षामा बस्यौँ । हाम्रो बस धेरै ढिलो आयाे, लगभग २० वा ३० मिनेट ढिलो । म बस नं ६ मा बसेँ । बसको यात्रा साँच्चै रमाइलो थियो । हामी ११ः४० मा नगरकोट आइपुग्यौँ । हामीले तेलकोटसम्मको डाउनहिल पदयात्रा सुरु गर्यौं । डाउनहिल करिब ६ किलोमिटरको पैदल यात्रा थियो । एउटा कालो कुकुरले लगभग सम्पूर्ण यात्रामा हामीलाई पछ्याइरहेको थियाे । यो सुन्दर पदयात्रा थियो । हामीले तल खेतबारी र माथि सुन्दर हिमालय, हरिया वनजङ्गल र पानीका धारा पनि देख्यौँ तर माैसम त्यति स्पष्ट थिएन त्यसैले हामीले एक वा दुईवटा हिमाल मात्र देख्यौँ । लामो पैदल यात्रापछि हामी अन्ततः टेलकोट पुग्यौँ तर मूल योजना तेलकोट पुगेपछि चांगुनारायण जाने थियो तर हाम्रो समय तालिका तेलकाटसम्म पुग्दा सकिएकाे र हाम्रा केही साथीहरू साँच्चै थकित भएकाले हामीले चांगुनारायणको पैदल यात्रा जारी राख्न सकेनौँ । तेलकाेटमै हामीले खाजा खायौँ । त्यसपछि तेलकाेटबाट २ः३० मा गाडी चढ्याैँ । दिउँसो ३ः३० मा हामी विद्यालय आइपुग्याैँ ।
