Dear Adolescents; Here Is My Experience So Far…
- Rushav Paneru - 28018, Grade ... 17 February, 2023

Adolescence is a phase of transitional physical and emotional growth that usually occurs between puberty and adulthood. Although adolescence is typically thought of as occurring during the teen years, its biological, mental, or cultural manifestations can start earlier and last longer. Teenagers are children going through the adolescent period. Adolescence is a stage of life in which children undergo physical and mental changes. In this stage of life, our bodies produce new hormones. The hormones of affection, attraction, love, hatred, jealousy, etc. All get produced inside our body during this time period. Adolescents can also be called "puberty." Children get angry fast, get attracted to opposite genders, and have many mood swings. 
Adolescents can have many things going on with their physical body that they feel weird about and do not want to tell their parents. At this period of life, everyone starts as a teenager at different times. I entered adolescence when I got to grade five. Adolescence is a phase of transitional physical and emotional growth that usually occurs between puberty and adulthood. Although adolescence is typically thought of as occurring during the teen years, its biological, mental, or cultural manifestations can start earlier and last longer. 
When my adolescence started I was 12–13 years old. That was the point at which I began to go insane. At least that’s what my parents say. I used to get angry really fast and have thousands of mood swings in a day. I did not tell them about the changes going on in my body. I guess that was the reason they never understood me. The thing I hated the most was that, they never did it, and by never, I mean it! They never even tried to understand me. Well, it was kind of my mistake too, because I did not tell them what I was feeling. So, I can not totally blame it on them. But yes, I still feel bad when I think about the bad moments I had with my parents. Even if they had a small argument with a loud voice, I could not stop thinking about it and would get really hurt. Well, I told it to my brother, because he is the only person in this whole world that I share all of my things with. He told me that I needed to talk to my parents about it and tell them about the changes that were happening in my body and mind. I thought about it for a very long time, I mean like 2 years. For 2 years, I always used to think, "Should I really tell my parents?" But I have no idea how I did it; I asked my parents about it in 7th grade. We had a long talk about it. My father and mother explained about the changes and stuff that will happen to my mind and body and how I need to deal with them. Well, they got kind of mad after I told them after so long; but eventually we got over it. I felt weird about everything. I feel weird now too. I am sure adolescence will be easier once I learn about the changes. 
Adolescence can be a confusing time, and we may feel weird about everything. However, talking to our parents and other trusted adults about what we are going through can help us navigate these changes. Understanding that these changes are a normal part of growing up can also help us to cope. Remember that everyone goes through adolescence at their own pace, so do not compare yourself to others.
In conclusion, adolescence can be a challenging but exciting time of life. By communicating with our loved ones and seeking help when needed, we can successfully navigate these changes and grow into a happy, healthy adult.

विविधतामा एकता
- Amu Shakya - 27021, Grade VII ... 17 February, 2023

नेपाल भौगोलिक हिसाबले सानो, सुन्दर र अग्ला अग्ला हिमशिखरहरू भएको देश हो । यही देशमा कैयौँ जात जाति, भेषभूषा, समुदाय र सो समुदायहरूको आ–आफ्नै परम्परा, सस्कृति चाडपर्व छ । ती सबै जातजाति र समुदायको संस्कृति, चाडपर्व आदिमा एक किसिमको विविधता छ । ती सबै एक अर्कामा अन्योन्याश्रित सम्बन्ध राख्दछन् । विविध जातजाति, संस्कृति भेषभूषा आदिले नेपाल समृद्ध एवम् सम्पन्न छ । यसकारण नेपाललाई बहुभाषिक, बहुजातीय, बहुसांस्कृतिक र बहुधार्मिक राष्ट्र पनि भनिन्छ ।
नेपाल विश्वमा बहु–धार्मिक राष्ट्र भएकोले विभिन्न जातजातिहरू आ–आफ्नो धार्मिक आचरण, जीवनशैली, भाषा, संस्कृति, परम्परा र भावनाका साथ बस्छन् । नेपालमा धेरै धार्मिक समुहहरू छन् । उनीहरू शान्ति र सद्भावनामा बस्दै आएका छन् । नेपालमा धार्मिक द्वन्दको कुनै रेकर्ड छैन । नेपालकाे राष्ट्र गान “सयौं थुँगा फूलका हामी एउटै माला नेपाली” ले यही प्रतिनिधित्व गर्छ कि नेपाल चार जात र छत्तिस वर्णको साझा फुलबारी हो । नेपाल बहुभाषिक, बहु–धार्मिक, बहु–सास्कृतिक आदिले सम्पन्न छ । नेपाल आर्थिक हिसाबले गरिब हुँदा पनि नेपालभित्रका विविध समुदाय, जातिविचको एकताले नेपाल ज्यादै धनी छ ।
नेपालमा १२५ वटा विविध जातहरू छन् भने १२३ वटा भाषाहरू यस देशमा बोलिन्छन् । नेपालमा १० भन्दा बढी धर्मलाई पछ्याइन्छ ।  जसमध्ये हिन्दु धर्मावलम्बीहरू ८०.६२%, बौद्ध धर्म मान्ने १०.७४%, मुस्लिम ४.२०%, किरात ३.६०%, क्रिश्चियन ०.४५% र अन्य ०.४% छन् ।
भाषिक पक्षको कुरा गर्नुपर्दा १२३ भाषहरूमध्ये नेपाली भाषा अर्थात देशको राष्ट्रिय भाषा सबैभन्दा बढी बोलिने भाषा हो । यस भाषा ४४्. ६%, ले बाल्दछन्, त्यसैगरी मैथिली ११. ७%, भोजपुरी ६.०%, थारु ५.८%, तामाङ्ग ५.१, नेपालभाषा ३.२%, मगर ३.०१, वज्जिका ३%, डोटेली ३%, उर्दू २.६% नेपालीहरूले बोल्दछन् ।
उपसंहारको रुपमा भन्नुपर्दा नेपालमा विविध जाति समुदाय, संस्कृति, जात, भेषभुषा आदि भए पनि पहिलो कुरा हामी सबै नेपाली हाैँ  र सारा नेपाली मिली देशलाई सम्पन्न एवम् समृद्ध बनाउनुपर्छ । नेपाल भौगोलिक विविधताको कुरामा विशाल भए पनि भौगोलिक हिसाबले सानो नै छ । यसै सन्दर्भमा नेपालभित्र रहेका सबै समुदाय, जात आदिको मिलन भएमा ठूला राज्यहरूले पनि हामीलाई गुलाम बनाउन असफल हुन्छन्  । त्यसकारण सारा नेपालीहरूको मिलन हुन जरुरी छ ।

पोखराको यात्रा
- Anushree Acharya - 28002, Gra ... 16 February, 2023

जीवन भनेको आफूले जस्तो चाह्यो त्यस्तै बनाउन सकिन्छ। जीवन रमाइलो बनाउन र ज्ञान प्राप्त गर्न भ्रमण गर्नुपर्छ । यस्तै शिक्षा आर्जन गर्न मिल्ने भ्रमणमध्ये हाम्रो पोखराको यात्रा एक थियो।

हाम्रो  भ्रमण २०७५ साल ०९ महिना ०९ गते शनिबार देखि सुरु भएको थियो । पानीको थोपा थपथप गरे सँगै मेरो आँखाको ढकनी बिस्तारै खुले । मैले मेरो हातमा लगाइकाे घडी हेरे । बिहानीको ५:३० भएको थियो । वरिपरि हेर्दा सबै जना बाहिर जान तयार हुँदै हुनुहुन्थ्यो । मेरो अचम्मित अनुहार देखेर आमाले जाडो बिदा सुरु भएर हामी लुम्बिनी जाने भनेर बनाएको योजनाबारे सम्झाउनुभयो । मैले भुसुक्कै बिर्सिएकी थिएँ । मैले हतार हतारमा कपडा लगाएर तयार भएकी थिएँ । गाडी ६:३० मा काठमाडौँबाट लुम्बिनी जाने थियो। हामी बिहानै बसपार्कमा पुग्दा पनि गाडी गैसकेको रहेछ । त्यहाँ गैसकेको भएपछि हामी पोखरातिर नै जाने भनेर निर्णय गर्‍याैँ। हामी पोखरा जाँदा करिब साढे सात बजेको थियो होला। हामीले पोखरा जाँदा सुन्दर सुन्दर रमणीय ठाउँहरूको अवलोकन गर्दै गयौँ । हामीलाई अलि भोक लागेको जस्तो भएपछि हामीले नजिकै एउटा होटेल खोजेर खाना खायौँ। त्यसपछि त्यहाँ भएका नदीहरू  हेरेर फेरि गाडीमा चढेर पोखरातिरै फेरि नै लाग्यौं। हामी पोखरा पुग्दा  करिब करिब साढे चार भएको अनुमान गर्न सकिन्छ हामीले पोखरा पुगेपछि एउटा होटेलको व्यवस्था गर्न खोज्यौं । केही समय खोजेपछि हामीले एउटा सुन्दर र भने जस्तै होटेल पायौं। त्यहाँ हामीले बाहिर एउटा सुन्दर दृश्य देख्न मिल्ने रहेछ । हामीले होटेलमा सामान  थान्को मुन्को लगायौँ र बाहिर निस्क्यौँ । भोकाएको भएर हामीले एउटा होटेलमा गएर खाना खायौँ। बेलुकी हामी होटलमै फर्केर त्यहाँ विश्राम गर्‍याैँं।

दोस्रो दिन हामी पोखराका सुन्दर र धार्मिक स्थलहरूमा जाने भनेर निर्णय गर्‍याैँं । हामी पहिला फेवा तालमा गयौँ । त्यहाँ माछालाई चारो दिनु सँगसँगै हामीले त्यहाँको बिचमा रहेको सुन्दर मन्दिर मन्दिरको पनि अवलोकनमा गर्‍याैँ  यस्तो सुन्दर र सांस्कृतिक धार्मिक स्थल देखेर मन पुलकित भएको थियो । भोक लागेको कारणले हामीले खाना खाने र विश्राम लिने भनेर निर्णय गर्‍याैँं । त्यसपछि हामी पोखराको चमेराे गुफा हेर्न गयौँ । त्यहाँ माथि रहेका चमेरा देखेर मनमा त्रासको भाव आयो । त्यो सँगै हामी महेन्द्र गुफा पनि गयौँ। त्यो दिन हामीले त्यत्तिमा नै सक्यौं।

तेस्रो दिन हामी पोखराको डेभिज फल्स हेर्न गयौं। पानीको कल्कलसँगै म पनि त्यहीँ डुबेको मैले सोचेकी थिएँ । त्यस दिन हामीले पोखराका अरू ठाउँको पनि अवलोकन गर्‍याैँं । हामीले त्यो भ्रमण पाँच दिनको मात्रै राख्ने भनेका थियौँ । त्यसैले हामीले त्यसै दिन प्यारा ग्लाइडिङ पनि गर्ने भनेर निर्णय गर्‍याैँं । म सानै भएको कारणले मैले प्यारा ग्लाइडिङ गर्न पाइनँ। तर आमा र बुबाले गर्नुभयो। आकाशबाट खस्दा साह्रै मजा आउने रहेछ भनेर बुबा र आमाले मलाई भन्नभयो।

चौथौ दिन म बिहान घाम उदाउनु अगाडि नै उठेकी थिएँ । हामीले आफ्नो नित्यकर्म सकेर गाडीमा चड्यौँ । हामीले हिमाल हेर्न गएका थियौँ । सेतो हिमालमा सुनजस्तै टल्किने सूर्यको किरण देखेर मेरो मन आकाशको नौ तले दरबारमा थियो। गाडीमा चढेर हामी होटेलमा फर्कियौँ । त्यस दिन हामीले सेती नदी पनि हेर्न गयौँ । शान्त भएर पनि गर् गर् गर्जने सेतीलाई देखेर आनन्द महसुस भएको थियो। हामी त्यस समय थकित भएका कारण हामीले त्यस दिन विश्राम गर्ने भन्यौँ । अन्त्यमा हामीले सबै सर सामान मिलायौँ।  

पोखरा जस्तो सुन्दर, प्राकृतिक र रमणीय स्थललाई छाडेर जाने दिन आयो। थोरै दिनमै पोखरा र यसको सुन्दरताले मेरो मन चोरी सकेको थियो । त्यसैले मनमा एउटा गहिरो ढुङ्गा राखेर मैले पोखरालाई छोडेर हवाइ जहाजमा काठमाडौंँ फर्किए। यस भ्रमणमा मैले धेरै ज्ञान प्राप्त गरेको छु भने र म ढुक्क भएर भन्न सक्छु ।

Hallucinogenic Honey Hunting Tribe in Nepal
- Aakanchhya Khadka - 27001, Gr ... 16 February, 2023

Nepal may be a small country but a diverse one when it comes to geography.There are many places that are still unexplored till today's date. We nepalese like to boast ourselves about how our country is geographically diverse and how beautiful it is but there are many tribe and places that is unknown to us, that is also a good thing at least there will not be plastic wrappers everywhere but exploring through the internet I came across a tribe located in Lamjung, Tanje village .

Mad honey or hallucinogenic honey is a rare kind of honey found in high altitude usually at cliff side areas. It is considered to cause a lot of physiological reactions when consumed by any animal. This honey is  believed to cause temporary hallucination, slow heart rate to paralysis according to the consummation of the person. The bees that harvest this honey found on high altitudes as the major ingredient for this honey is pollen of rhododendron .Some species of rhododendron are considered to have grayanotoxin, a special kind of neurotoxin.That can affect both cardiovascular and respiratory system but when mixed with mad honey it can cause severe sickness and diarrhoea.These bees are especially found in nepal and turkey regions.As in Nepal  there are lot of hills or cliff areas so there are lots of rhododendron forests these meaning also bees in higher amount as these bees usually form their hives in cliff areas .

Talking about capturing this bee's honey is a task of great difficulty itself as the found on extremely dangerous cliffside and getting stung in higher amounts can actually kill you but there are peoples in Tanje village of Lamjung who have been following this profession since more than  a century . It is said that about 200 years ago people migrated from Tibet in  a search of agricultural land and to continue their further settlement and came across Tanje village which was  rich in fertile land and resources but was dominated by hills. The started their settlement and which later became known as Tanje village.For centuries people of this village  have been collecting hallucinogenic honey and trading which became the pride of the village.The days where people didn’t have proper equipment to protect themselves from the bees attack people of this village used to  climb the cliff by help of just mere rope made from bamboo shoots in area where a small false move can literally kill you .

Inorder to collect the honey people usually divide work among themselves and firstly the attach the rope and create smoke inorder to scare the bees away and then a person climb through the ropes and carefully cut the bees wheel and extracts the honey.Though in the near future this culture might extinct people of this village are trying their best to preserve it .

- Nishkarsh Joshi - 28027, Grad ... 14 February, 2023

२२ मङ्सिर २०७२
म बिहान ५:०० बजे ब्युँझिएँ ।  उत्साहले गर्दा म मेरा २ दाजुभाइ आमाबुवा, काका र काकी हामी सबै नैनीताल जाँदै थियौँ हामी सबै उत्साहित थियौँ ।  मैले ब्रस गरेँ र नुहाएर नैनीताल जान तयार भएँ । हामी कञ्चनपुर सिमानामा गयौँ । पहिले एउटा सानो पुल हुँदै जङ्गल र पहाड हुँदै गयौँ ।  म नैनीताल घुम्न निकै उत्साहित थिएँ अनि भोक लागेकोले दिउँसो ३:३० बजेतिर खाजा खान रोकिएपछि कोठा बुक गरेर होटलमा गयौँ । राम्रो थियो तर क्याफेटेरिया राम्रो थिएन त्यसैले हामी त्यहाँ खाना खाएनौँ र त्यहाँ डोमिनोजमा गयौँ ।  हामीले केही बेर पिज्जा र रोम खायौँ ।  त्यसपछि हामी सुत्याैँ ।
नैनितालमा यो दोस्रो र अन्तिम दिन थियो त्यो दिन हामीले नैनितालमा डुङ्गा चलायौँ र जब हामी घुमिरहेका थियौँ ।  हामीले ट्याक्सी भेट्टायौँ ।  जसले हामीलाई सम्पूर्ण ठाउँको भ्रमण गराउँदछ ।  हामी चिडियाखानामा गयौँ ।  त्यहाँ यति धेरै जनावरहरू थिए त्यसैले म स्तब्ध भएँ। चिडियाखानामा पछाडिका जनावरहरू देखेर केही समय तिनै जनावरहरूका क्रियाकलाप देखेँ । त्यसपछि हामी माथितिर गयौँ ।  जहाँ तालको धेरै राम्रो दृश्य थियो  । त्यहाँ पहाड हेर्ने ठाउँ थियो त्यसपछि हामी तिब्बती बजार गयौँ  र नैनीतालबाट फर्केर कञ्चनपुरमा मामाको घरमा बस्यौँ ।
