जन्मभूमि नेपालीको हाम्रो देश उच्च

नेपालीको माया भने कहिल्यै नछुट्ने रहेछ   

विविध जातका तर एकै माटोबाट निक्ल्याैँ  

एउटै मन फरक धर्म भए नि छुटेनौँ ।

 बुद्धको ज्ञान, शान्तिकाे सन्देश नेपालमा फैलिन्छ 

सुशील आज्ञाकारी सीता हाम्रो मनमा ठहर्छ 

संसारको उच्च हिमाल हाम्रो देशमा रहन्छ 

प्रकृतिको मूल, सुन्दर देश  नेपालमा फक्रन्छ ।

गोर्खालीको शक्ति हाम्रो पृथ्वीको सोच 

तराई पहाड हिमालको छुट्टै दृष्टि हुन्छ 

हिमनदी, लेक, ताल सबै दृश्य खुलेकाे 

सृष्टिभरि सुन्दरता नै नेपालमा फुलेकाे  ।

 माया प्रेमको सुन्दरता संस्कृतिले देखाउँछ 

 विविध जातका भए नि एउटै मालामा रहन्छ  

 सुन्दरताको कोष हो यो हामी देशका भक्तवादी 

समृद्धि र विकासको नारा भाक्तै मातृभूमि नेपाल  ।।  

Hello! I hope you are the manager of the restaurant I ate in yesterday. I have sent you this letter of thanks for giving me the V.I.P treatment.

The food was really good and the drinks were very tasty. I wanted to say more to the cashier, but I had to go to work as fast as possible. So, I thought of sending you my own letter to thank you for the treatment.

The waiters were nice and the overall design of the restaurant really popped off for me.

The small pinpoint accuracy and every little details put on the walls and floor of the restaurant was amazing.

The food couldn't have been any better in my years of eating outside in restaurants. The steak in your restaurant was amazingly good; the salting, sauce and small lines of oil made the steak so good and the most expensive steak gold-plated beef was very cheap, yet made with so much precision, it was like I was in a high-end restaurant.

Your drinks were really good if not better than the food. The normal water had ice; more refreshing than any soda in other restaurants.

The soda itself was so good. The coke was so tasty even before the waiter gave it to me: I already felt hydrated to the point I didn't even want to drink the coke, I just wanted to look at the coke and I almost dozed off.

Overall, your restaurant had the best food I ever ate at a cheap price. The money for the food was the same as McDonald's but the quality was on a whole new level. I say you should keep on going and upgrading your restaurant. I will always be coming by and hey, maybe I can work there sometime if my current job doesn't go so well. I love the way your food tastes and keep it up, don't let anyone demotivate you!

मेराे देशकाे नाम नेपाल हाे । म नेपालमा बस्छु । नेपाल भूपरिवेष्टित देश हाे । नेपालकाे झन्डाअन्य देशका झन्डाभन्दा फरक छ । गाईलाई नेपालकाे राष्ट्रिय जनावर हाे भने राष्ट्रिय फूल लालीगुराँस हाे । नेपालमा धेरै जाजातिका मानिसहरू बसाेबास गर्छन् । विभिन्न जातजतिका आ आफ्नै वेशभूषा र रीतिरिवाज छन् । नेपालमा हिमाली क्षेत्र, पहाडी क्षेत्र र तराई क्षेत्र गरी नेपालमा तीन क्षेत्रहरू छन् । यी तीन क्षेत्रहरूमा विभिन्न जातजातिहरू बस्छन् । हिमालमा शेर्पा, पहाडमा ब्राह्मण, क्षेत्री, गुरुङ, मगर, तामाङ, मगर आदि बसाेबास गर्छन् भने तराईमा मैथिली, ठाकुर, धिमाल,राजवंशी आदि बसाेबास गर्छन् । धर्म संस्कृतिका दृष्टिकाेणले मात्र नभएर मेराे देश प्राकृतिक सुन्दरताका दृष्टिले पनि अत्यन्त धनी छ ।

I was murmuring the first 10 digits of pi for the next maths class. Hi! I’m Kenny D. Strongman. Not a bright student in maths, but also not a dull one. I’m a student with normal academic performance in all subjects.

I was on an evening stroll while remembering things to do in the next class on Monday. I saw a dog with a creepy human smile wagging its long, curly white tail at me. It turned to me and extended its whole hand in a specific direction. Thinking the dog was harmless and would not do anything to me, I followed it.

The dog started pointing its nose at a strange telephone booth-looking capsule. I went in and pulled the odd, rusty lever. Nervously, I pulled the lever. Suddenly, I found myself in a bluish portal, as if transported to another dimension. My head bumped into some hard glass and I drifted into a dreamy state.

A commanding voice called me to enter its kingdom. I woke up on a planet with grass made of silky wool, houses shaped like bones, and trees made of dog treats.

I wanted to reach the castle in front of me. There was a throne shaped like a dog's face, made of strong yet soft wool. I was greeted by creepy dogs and crowned with a special tag: ‘WOOF WOOF WOOF (RESPECTED KING) KENNY’.

Gradually, my body transformed into a wolf—from toe to head. Now fully transformed into a dog, I ate ground meat for breakfast, bones with fresh milk for lunch, and dog treats for dinner. I slept on a massive yarn-knitted blanket crafted by the ‘WOOF(HEAD) crafter’. At night, I was tucked in by my dog servants—four of them, to be exact. Oh yeah! Don’t forget, I wrote this story with my tail.

शनिबारकाे दिन थियाे । बिहानैदेखि झमझम पानी परिरहेकाे थियाे ।  पानीका कारण म र मेरो बुवा घर मै बस्नुपर्ने भयो । म पनि फुटबल खेल्न जान सकिन । साँझ पानी अलिकति रोकिएपछि म र छिमेकी दाइ घर नजिककाे नदी हेर्न गयाैँ । हाम्राे घर नजिक बागमती नदी छ । आज नदी धेरै क्रोधित थियो । पानीको बहाव बढेकाे थियो । नदीको आवाज धेरै थियो । त्यो दिन नदी फरक थियो । नदीको छेउमा एउटा पार्क थियो। हामी पार्कमा गयौँ । पार्कमा भिड थियो । सबै मानिसहरू नदी हेर्न चाहन्थे । अनि हामी केहीबेर पार्कमा हिँड्यौँ । केहीबेरमा हामी घर फर्कियौँ । मैले मेरी आमालाई भने कि हामी नदी हेर्न गएका थियौं। उहाँ पनि जान चाहनुहुन्थ्याे । तर मलाई त्यो थाहा थिएन । साँझ हामीले टिभीमा नदीको बारेमा हेर्‍याैँ । खोलाको बहाव यति धेरै थियो कि नदी सडकमा थियो, पार्कमा थियो, जताततै थियो, त्यो मानिसको घरघरमा पनि थियो । स्कुल जाँदा  मैले दैनिक रुपमा २ पटक बागमती नदीको पुल पार गर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ फर्किदा २ पटक । तीनकुने पुलमा पहिला र त्यसपछि पिङ्गलास्थानको  पुलमा ।  म स्कुल बसबाट नदी छेउमा  पार्क, सडक, रुख, पुल, मन्दिर  देख्छु । याे बागमती कहाँबाट आएर कता जान्छ हाेला जस्ताे लाग्छ । अनि मैले गुगल गरेर हेर्ने बिचार गरेँ । यो शिवपुरी राष्ट्रिय निकुञ्जको बगरबाट निस्कन्छ र दक्षिणतिर काठमाडौँ, ललितपुर र भक्तपुर जिल्ला हुँदै चाेभारबाट उपत्यकाबाट बाहिर निस्कने रहेछ । त्यसपछि मकवानपुर हुँदै सिन्धुलीकाे हरिहरपुरगढीकाे छेउहुँदै राैतहट सर्लाहीकाे बाटाेहुँदै भारतको गंगाको सहायक नदी घाघरा नदीमा मिसिन्छ। बागमती नदी  काठमाडौँ उपत्यकाका अन्य बिभिन्न साना/ठुला नदी मनोहरा,विष्णुमती,धोबी,टुकुचा,नखु,हनुमन्ते,गोदावरी,बल्खुखाेलाहरूसँग मिसिने रहेछ । 

पहिले बागमती सफा थियाे रे । मेरा बाहरू बागमतीमा नै नुहाउन, मुखधुन जानुहुन्थाे रे । तर मैले सफा बागमती देखेकाे छैन । कहिले सानाे र कहिले ठुलाे मात्र देखेकाे छु । नदीसम्म जाने बाटाे पनि हुन्न अहिले । फोहोरमैला फ्याँक्दा बागमती नदीमा प्रदुषण बढेको छ । यसका किनारमा घरहरू बनाएर पानीकाे बग्ने बाटाे छेकेकाेले नदी रिसाएकाे भन्दै हुनुहुन्थाे मेराे बाले । हामी सबै मिलेर नगरपालिकासँगै नदीको सरसफाई गर्नुपर्छ । नदीलाई उसकाे बाटाे दिनुपर्छ । नदी छेउमा भएका मन्दिरहरूकाे संरक्षण गर्नुपर्छ । 

याे पानी पर्न राेकिएपछि याे बागमती  कस्ताे हुन्छ हाेला । यसकाे मुहान कस्ताे छ कहाँ छ  हाेला । म पनि एक पटक हेर्न जान्छु । 

In my opinion, this is a curse. This may sound like something awesome to other people, but it would be a curse for me. It's not all unicorns and rainbows everywhere anyways. There’s a lot more to it. Maybe, it would be great staying forever with your loved ones, but we also get bored right? For example, if a book is boring, we may leave it halfway, so there is no point in always staying with your loved ones. And we don’t know what will happen in the future, maybe your loved ones will stab you in the back? Who knows?

Also, if no one dies, it would be a whole lot crowded, right? The malls, the houses etc. So, the more the urbanization, the more the pollution. We’re already polluting the Earth so much that there is climate change occurring at the moment. Imagine what more effects can be seen by us being immortal? It will eventually lead us to death because the earth will be destroyed in a few million years.

We know how there are heirs to continue the family business. Well, the more the people the more the competitors to be the heir, and this entire world will just fight for a title. What if the current head person never dies, their children would never get the chance to see how it feels to become the head of their family.

Also, what about improving society? If the old generation and the new generations are together then the older generations will tell the new ones about all the social evils that exist in our society and the new ones will maybe do the same, then the society won’t get to evolve at all. It will stay the same.

With society not evolving, the environment will also not change. Since the new ideas often come from the younger generation, we all will be stuck doing things the same old way with nothing new if the older generation is always there.

Imagine being in line to get the new iPhone for two days. It would feel like a great achievement, right? But if the old workers of Apple are still there, wouldn’t the iPhone look and feel the same? Noone would want to lose a job, so the old workers may still be there giving out the same iPhones. Also, even if a new and better model is made, wouldn’t it be out of stock in less than 24 hours? It's already hard to get a new iPhone model. Imagine more people are there, faster than you trying to get the new model, wouldn’t that be tiring?

Another thing is the emotional side of living forever. Right now, knowing that life has an end makes us treasure our time and our friends. But if we knew we'd live forever, would we still care as much? Life might start feeling meaningless without that ticking clock.

Will we all stay with our loved ones forever? I mean we would be bored of it. Something too much or too less will always be negative.

Imagine finally graduating and becoming a doctor. Every 100 years, there is a global pandemic. Meaning, as a doctor you will have to save yourself and others almost every 100 years. If we had a timespan, we would achieve a whole lot. We won’t work hard if we all are immortal, but if there is a time span, you work faster and harder to make others write a biography of you.

There are not a lot of employed people all over the world because the seats are filled when they try to get a job. If everyone is immortal, wouldn’t there be even more unemployed people in the world? What would they do for infinite years? Just sit there and do nothing?

Additionally, whenever you play a game and there are tons of people playing the same game you are, wouldn't the game crash? Yes, it would. So, if there are more people it would certainly mean more people are interested in games. I mean, who isn’t? Well, the game would crash while you are playing and that would just make you mad.

Looking at it, everyone living forever would definitely be a curse. As it would also cause the Earth to destroy in a few million years and no one would actually live. Hence, whoever may find a formula to make everyone immortal, their hard work is a waste of time.

पोखरा, नेपालको सुन्दर सहर हो, जुन आफ्नो प्राकृतिक सौन्दर्य र रमणीयताबाट विश्वमा चर्चित छ । यो सहरमा एकमात्र अन्नपूर्ण र मच्छापुच्छ्रे हिमाल जस्ता विभिन्न  हिमालहरू छन् ।

फेवा ताल, तालबाराही मन्दिर र गुप्तेश्वर महादेवकाे सुन्दरतामा पोखरा अभिजात छ ।  यहाँको सुन्दर प्राकृतिक स्थलहरूले यात्रीहरूलाई मोहनीय बनाउँछन् । फेवा तालको ताजा हवा र दृश्यले मनमा शान्ति र रमणीयता ल्याउँछ । पोखरा विश्वकाे प्रमुख पर्यटकीय स्थलहरूमा समाहित छ । पोखरा, नेपालमा भएको एक रमणीय सहर हो जसले आफ्नो स्वभाव, सांस्कृतिक धरोहर र आन्तर्राष्ट्रिय स्तरमा प्रमुख पर्यटकीय स्थल बनेकाे छ ।  पोखरा घुम्न जानकाे लागि हामी गाडीमा म, भाइ, आमा र बाबा चढ्याैँ । काठमाडौँदेखि कलङ्की, थानकाेट, नौबिसे,  मलेखु,  मुग्लिन,  दमौली हुँदै अन्त्यमा पोखरा पुगिदो रहेछ । यात्रा चाहिँ पाँच, छ घण्टाको मात्र रहेछ । हामी बिहानको १२ बजेतिर यात्रा सुरु गर्याैँ । यात्रा सुरु हुँदा म भाइसँग बसेकी थिएँ । म र भाइ मस्त कुरा गर्दै थियाैँ । हामी कुरा काट्दा काट्दा भाइलाई निद्रा लागेछ । त्यसकारण भाइ मेरो काखैमा निदायो । मलाई गाह्रो हुन्छ भनेर आमाले भाइलाई काखमा राख्नुभयो ।

म चाहिँ झ्यालबाहिरको मनमाेहक दृश्य हेर्न व्यस्त भएँ यात्रा अवधिभर । हामी पोखरा बल्ल तल्ल पुगेपछि रुपकोट रिसोर्टमा बस्याैँ तर त्यो भन्दा पहिले हामी फेवा तालमा पुग्यौँ । फेवा तालमा हामीले डुङ्गा सयर गर्याैँ । त्यहाँ हामीले माछाहरू पनि देख्यौँ । डुङ्गा सयर गर्न धेरै मजा भयो । हामी बिस्तारै डुङ्गामा जाँदा  हामी फेवा तालमा  भएको बिचको मन्दिरमा पुग्यौँ । त्यो मन्दिरको नाम  'तालबाराही मन्दिर' रहेछ । 

हामी त्यहाँ गएर भगवानलाई दर्शन गर्याैँ । त्यसपछि हामी माछाहरू हेर्न गयौँ र हामीले  माछाहरूलाई चाराे खुवायौँ । ताल बाराही मन्दिर जसलाई ‘ताल मन्दिर’ वा ‘बाराही मन्दिर’ पनि भनिन्छ । बाराही देवी हिन्दू मन्दिर हो । यो पोखरा, नेपालको सबैभन्दा महत्त्वपूर्ण धार्मिक स्मारक हो । यो मन्दिर फेवातालको बीचमा रहेको सानो टापुमा अवस्थित छ । मन्दिर फेवा तालकाे बीचमा अवस्थित भएकोले त्यहाँ पुग्ने एकमात्र माध्यम डुङ्गा हो । नेपाली महिना वैशाख (अप्रिल-मे) र कार्तिक (नोभेम्बर-डिसेम्बर) मा मुख्य गरी मन्छेहरु त्यहाँ आउँछन् र मन्दिरकाे दर्शन गर्छन् । 

हामीले माछाहरूलाई खानेकुरा खुवायाैँ । त्यसपिछ म र भाइलाई पनि अति नै भोक लाग्यो । 

त्यसकारण हामी नजिकैको ठाउँमा खाजा खान गयाैँ । हामी खजा खाएपछि हामी ‘डेभिड फल्स' मा पुग्यौँ । त्यसमा हामीले पताले छाँगा देख्यौँ । पानी तल पुगेपछि सुरुङ बन्छ । यो सुरुङ करिब ५०० फीट (१५० मिटर) लामो छ र जमिनको सतह मुनि १०० फिट (३० मिटर) छ । ३१ जुलाई १९६१ मा स्वीस पुरुष महिला पौडी खेल्न गएका थिए तर महिलाकाे खाडलमा डुबेर मृत्यु भएको थियो । उनको शव तीन दिनपछि ठुलो प्रयासमा फुस्रे नदीमा फेला परेको थियो । उनका बुबाले आफ्नी छोरीको नामबाट "डेभिड फल्स" नाम राख्न चाहन्थे तर देवीको पतनमा परिवर्तन गर्नुभयो । यसको नेपाली नाम पताले छाँगा हो, जसको शाब्दिक अर्थ पाताल को छाँगाे हो अर्थात् जसको अर्थ "अण्डरवर्ल्डको झरना" हो । यो नेपालको सबैभन्दा धेरै घुम्ने ठाउँहरू मध्ये एक हो । 

हामी त्यहाँ घुमेपछि फेरि रिसाेर्टमा पुग्याैँ र सुत्यौँ । भोलिपल्ट बिहान सबेरै उठेर खाजा खाएर काठमाडौँ  फर्कियाैँ । 

A game played by electronically manipulating images produced by a computer program on a monitor or other display is video games. The first video game was played on 18th October, 1958 by William Higinbotham. He created the game called Tennis for Two. Fifteen years later, the first game console was made: The Magnavox Odyssey. It was released in 1972. The first generation of home consoles were generally limited to dedicated consoles with just one or two games pre-built into the console hardware, with a limited means to alter gameplay factors. In the late 1960s, Nolan Bushnell saw Spacewar! at Stanford University. Spacewar! is a 1962 mainframe game developed by a group of students and employees at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Between these game consoles, others were also there, like 1972 - Magnavox Odyssey, 1975 - Atari Home Pong, 1976 - Fairchild Channel F, 1977 - Atari 26001976 - Coleco Telstar, 1979 - Intellivision, 1982 - ColecoVision, 1985 - Nintendo Entertainment System. Overall, the video games today and back then are totally different.

Our school Deerwalk Sifal School took us on a field visit to the National Fruit Development Centre located in Kirtipur. We started our journey at 11:15 AM. I was on Route 9. My seat partners were Aadhyashree, Aliza and Sauravi. We reached the National Fruit Development Centre at 12:19 PM. After we got off the bus, our teachers went to the office to get more information about the guide. We started looking around and exploring the place. After our teachers finalized the guide, we took some class pictures. We started our field visit at around 12:30 PM. This is the information that I obtained from the field visit.

The smell of the flower Jai is very good. The nets are kept to protect the plants from birds. We saw the Dragon fruit plant, and we observed that the plant is very short. We observed the Japanese Pears. We saw many species of Pear trees. We saw a Walnut tree and visited the walnut production block. We saw many trifoliate orange trees; many of the trees were over 60-70 years old. We observed Avocado trees. We also observed nurseries throughout the place. We observed the Lemon trees. We explored and went inside the compost house. We also went through the pear production block. We observed the Kumquat production block. We also observed Kiwi plants. We went through the glass house and screen house area. We observed Chestnut trees. We observed a pineapple production block. We went through various mother plant blocks. At last, we visited the Park and sat there for around 5 minutes.

Observation and Learning

Tree Lotus- Grows on trees

Trifoliate Orange- Very important for various uses like obtaining citrus

Birds- Used to protect plants from birds 

Avocado- Used as food nutrition 

Cold store- Fruit store with a temperature of Zero degree

In conclusion, I enjoyed the trip very much. I am very thankful to the school authorities for organizing this field visit. I learnt many things throughout the field visit. This was not only fun, but also helped me obtain many facts and knowledge about plants and their usage for various purposes.

म बाँसुरी बजाउँछु। मलाई बाँसुरी बजाउन मनपर्छ। मैले सानैदेखि बाँसुरी बजाउन सिकेको हो। मैले बाँसुरी बजाएको मेरो बालाई पनि मनपर्छ । बाजाहरूमध्ये बाँसुरी बजाउन गाह्रो छ। म हरेक शनिबार बाँसुरीका  गुरु श्रीयज्ञराज सरसँग बाँसुरी सिक्छु। मलाई बाँसुरीमा विभिन्न धुनहरू बजाउन आउँछ। जस्तै फुलको आँखामा,असारे महिनामा, सिन्धुलीगढी, च्याङ्बा है च्याङ्बा, मालश्री धुन, राष्ट्रिय गान आदि । म हरेक दिन बिहान बाँसुरीको अभ्यास गर्छु। जसमा म  सा रे ग म बजाउँछु । यो अभ्यासले मेरो घाँटी र हातको अभ्यास  हुन्छ । हरेक दिनको अभ्यासले मेरो बाँसुरीको धुनमा निखार आउँछ,भनेर गुरुले भन्नुहुन्छ । म पहिलेदेखि नै बाँसुरी बजाउने गर्थेँ । म पहिलाभन्दा अहिले राम्रो बाँसुरी बजाउँछु । बाँसुरी बजाउँदा म आराम महसुस गर्छु । म बाँसुरी बजाउँदा मेरो बुबाले रेकर्ड गर्नुहुन्छ । बाँसुरी एउटा काठको यन्त्र हो । जसमा फुकेर आवाज निकालिन्छ । यो बाजा धातु वा काठबाट बनेको हुन्छ र यसमा  साना प्वालहरू हुन्छन् । मसँग चारवटा बाँसुरी छन् । मसँग छुट्टै छुट्टै स्तरका बाँसुरी छन् । मैले बाँसुरी एक कक्षादेखि बजाइरहेको छु। मैले धेरै ठाउँमा गएर बाँसुरी बजाएको छु । जस्तै स्कुलमा मलाई धेरै  मान्छेहरूको अगाडि बजाउँन लाज लाग्छ । त्यही भएर मैले एउटा युट्युब च्यानल खोलेको छु। म 

हप्तामा एउटा भिडियो हाल्छु। 

The Magic Shoes is a wonderfully written story. It's about a girl named Ella who was an ordinary girl who loved ballerinas and ballet. She was even a ballerina herself! Her mother was very supportive of her too. One day, her mom brought her to a charity shop. Ella found nothing exciting there until her eye caught a pair of old and dirty ballerina shoes. She begged her mom to buy her the shoes, and her mom hesitantly agreed. The shopkeeper winked and told Ella to take good care of the shoes. When she got home, Ella washed and cleaned the shoes, and surprisingly, they looked brand new. Ella tried on the shoes and started to do her dance routine, and she perfectly performed her routine. She thought the shoes were magic and special.

Ella was confident enough to join some competitions, and she won every single one of them! She truly believed those shoes were magic. The week before the national ballet competition, Ella found out something terrible: her mom had thrown away her shoes! She sobbed as she told her mom that the shoes were the only thing preventing her from losing, but her mom didn't think the same. Her mom told her that it was her skills and dedication that made her win. Although Ella was good and excellent at ballet, she wasn't confident enough.

Soon, the day of the competition arrived. Ella was more nervous than ever, but she remembered her mom's words. Suddenly, the announcer called her name as it was her turn to dance. Ella put all her emotion into the dance and hoped that she did well. Soon, the results came, and Ella was in shock when the judges revealed that she had won! She thought, maybe it wasn't the shoes after all, maybe it was my hard work and talent!
