मनकाे बाघ
- Pradnesh Singh Basnet - 27015 ... 16 January, 2023

रात परिसकेको थियो । सबै जना आ आफ्ना घरतिर लागिसकेपछि अमन पनि आफ्नो घरतिर लाग्यो। अमर र सक्षम एकदम मिल्ने साथी थिए। उनीहरू प्रायजसो कामसँगै गर्थे । उनीहरूकाे घर पनि सँगसँगै थियो ।

एक दिन खेल्दाखेल्दै रात परिसकेको थियो । घर जान अबेर भएकाले उनीहरू डराएका थिए। घरमा गाली पो खाइने हो कि भनेर । उनीहरू जाने बाटोमा एउटा खोला थियो । त्यो खोला उनीहरूको घर नजिकको थियो। उनीहरू बस्ने ठाउँमा निकै मानिसहरू बस्दैन थिए। त्यो एकदम सुनसान ठाउँ थियो । कसैले के गर्ने पनि थाहा हुँदैन थियो । त्यही भएर त्यहाँ राति हिड्न मानिसहरू डराउथे । कति भूत प्रेत हो भनेर डराउँथे त कति नराम्रो आत्मा हो भनेर। रातिको ७ बजेसम्ममा सबै जना घर पुगिसक्थे । आज साढे ७ हुन लागेको थियो। त्यसैले अमन र सक्षम निकै डराएका थिए । मलाई पो केही हुने हो कि भनेर गएँ।

अरू केही उपाय पनि थिएन। खेल्दाखेल्दै समय गएको पत्तो पनि भएन । घर जाने अरू कुनै बाटो पनि थिएन । अब घर नगई भएन भनेर त्यही बाटोतिर लागे । अगाडि जाँदै गर्दा कुकुरहरू भुकेको आवाज आयो । “बाटाे त निकै डरलाग्दाे भइसकेछ अब कसरी घर पुग्ने हाेला” मैले उनीहरूसँग भनेँ ।  त्यो खोला नजिक जाँदा खेरि कसैले बोलाएजस्तो लाग्यो । यताउति हेर्दा खेरि कोही थिएन । “आहाे! कस्ताे डरलाग्दाे भएकाे हाेला” म  झन् डरले काम्न थालेँ। “अब के गर्ने होला” उनीहरूले भन्न थाले । जतिसक्दो छिटो कुद्न खोजे। अगाडि कुदेर पुगेपछि उनीहरू केहीसँग ठोक्किएर लागेजस्तो लाग्यो । त्यहाँ उनीहरूले एउटा लास देखे ।दुवैजना निकै डराए। कुद्दै भाग्न थाले। अमन हस्याङ्फस्याङ् गर्न थाल्यो।सक्षमले उनलाई बोलायो ।”अब तिमी ठीक त छौ।” यो सबै त मनको भ्रम रहेछ। “अँ मलाई बच्चैदेखि अँध्यारोको डर लाग्ने भएर?”  उनी यो सोच्दै रहेछन् ।

Tale of Suffocation
- Aayotrie Chaudhary - 27019, G ... 13 January, 2023

I was suffocating. The skies were grey and full of smoke. Trash flooding the streets, if you didn't watch your step you would step right into some muck. People say that the masks we wear aren't important anymore , but I don't see how they could've survived without it even before the whole deadly disease broke out. Not many people survived it, and the ones who did, are only wallowing in their own self pity. No one cares anymore about the planet, it seems we are only left here to wait for our ultimate demise. It seems we are just sitting around and waiting for our chance to leave this earth.  For most of us that is what we accept as true, for the rest, it's only a matter of time. They all feel so hopeful at first, full of life, almost like a ray of light through the smoke and dust polluting the air, then they become helpless, their fairy dust that keeps them happy slowly starts to trickle away. Soon no hope is left and it feels as if we are only here to be helpless against our mistakes, our ancestor's mistakes, the future generation's mistakes. We all have lost hope, and yet, there's her.

She has been here long enough, long enough to start feeling the self pity, and yet, she still has her glow, her shine, her fairy dust that makes her happy, still intact. She keeps fighting even if her fights seem to lead to failure, no one seems to understand. No one understands how she can keep fighting even though it is obvious that it is hopeless. Most just sit and do nothing but wish, the others ignore the world for what it is , but not her. She takes new fledglings under her wing and tries to get them to help, they don't really understand either, but they help and I feel she is content with that at least.

I, as well as everyone else who has felt hopeless admire her, though, there are still few who simply scoff and think what she is doing is a waste of time, and effort. I tend to disagree, we all had a time where we would have fun, enjoy, and see the world in a different light, a less dark and smoky one. We would all wish and try to help change the world, but, unlike her, we gave up, we thought there was no hope, yet if we gave up, if all of us gave up in the end, then how did we ever just know, rather I believe we just all seemed to guess and due to the others pressure, we just simply, gave up.

She isn't giving up though , even when people scoff and tell her it's no use , she isn't giving, not when people pressure her and tell her what she is doing is useless, not when her fledglings eventually leave the nest as well and agree with those who continuously berate her. She plants trees with what seeds she can possibly gather, and even when they wilt due to the terrible condition of the air, soil, water, and more, she just keeps trying. She keeps working, finding people with hope and trying to keep their hope from trickling away.

Secretly we all wish to be like her, have her strength to keep going, even those who turn their head away at her efforts, even those who insult her regularly, they all just wish they had what it took to be like her, to have hope and to try and understand why the world is the way it is. Even while her efforts seem to being nothing and scum yell all the time that she is useless, she keeps on trying to make the planet a better place, she keeps trying to get more people woke, she keeps trying to succeed even when it leads to her having to be lonely while people watch her pick up the garbage flooding the streets, the world. People stare and gaze at such a different sight, but really it is our fault that the sight is so different. Shouldn't we be there as well , shouldn't we be trying to help her out, shouldn't we try to normalise helping our planet. But we are not, we seem to be sitting lazily in a room that is slowly filling up with our pity, our pity for her, our pity for the world, and most of all our pity for ourselves.

The world is turning grey, our skies won't be clear, pollution is taking over and the world is getting hotter. Our planet is warming up, whether we like it or not, however we are not doing all we can to stop it . We are sitting still while people cut down billions of trees annually, we are sitting as factories all around the world poof up smoke and Carbon Dioxide up into the air. Fine particles in the air are killing many as each year goes by. Trash and garbage are filling up the streets, so much that you can't even go outside without spotting a few and we are not doing all we can to stop it. We are suffocating in this world full of smoke, dust, debris, etc. And we seem to not care enough. If we do not do something soon, we will ruin this world we live in. This world could be so beautiful and full of greenery as well as life if we just try. We cannot give up on our planet, not just yet.

Pretty Cage Without Freedom
- Hardik Sharma Phuyal - 29047, ... 13 January, 2023

Zoos are problematic because we always cannot trap a life. We can see a bird singing in a cage but do we think it can also be screaming for help? Zoos should be completely abolished because animals belong to their natural habitat and they ought to be playing and living life on their own terms.

The term zoo doesn't mean a place where animals are kept but its real meaning is The study of animals taken from the science word zoology. In my point of view, instead of zoos, national parks should be made because the whole ecosystem is conserved inside a particular area and the habitat of animals is conserved and all the animals are already there and are guarded so no one can do animal trafficking.

Many people say that more zoos should be made because it conserves the animals but it is completely wrong because how would you feel if you are kept inside a cage and people come to see you and tease you. Animals literally have no space around that and it is difficult for them to even walk there. Roaming around is too far for them, and in many cases animals are not treated well. We only show them some sympathy because deep down we know they are caged and are not free like us.

The zoo also causes disability in animals because the hunters get food at home and if placed in the wild they forget in hunting and the prey forgets how to run to save their lives. Our government should reconsider establishing more wildlife sanctuaries than zoos that don't have enough space for animals to have a comfortable life. Can you imagine yourself in a pretty cage with food and shelter but without freedom?

ला अब के गर्ने ?
- Sayuri Shrestha - 28017, Grad ... 13 January, 2023

सदा  झैँ बिहानै म छिटो उठेर मुख धाेएँ । खाजा खाना भान्छामा गएँ। भाइलाई   पनि आज उठाउन परेन । ऊ पनि भान्छामा खाजा खान आटेको रहेछ। “ओहो आज त तलाई उठाउनै परेन, के भएर छिटाे उठेको नि”
“आज विज्ञान कक्षामा हामी ल्यावमा  गएर काम गर्न रे ” मायाको भाइ सिद्धार्थले भन्यो। “ए हो र” भन्दै माया खाजा खाना थाली, “आज त कति रमाइलो हुन्छ होला ” सिद्धार्थले हाँस्दै भन्यो। “ल ल धेरै नबोली खाऊ, ढिला हुन्छ ” आमाले भनुभयो। माया १०  कक्षामा पढ्छे  र उसको भाइ सिद्धार्थ  ८ कक्षामा पदछ। 
खाजा खाएपछि आमाले मायाको कपाल बाटिदिनुभयो र दुवै दिदीभाइ स्कुल जान थाले । स्कुल गएपछि माया आफ्नो कक्षामा गई  र सिद्धार्थ पनि उसको कक्षामा गएर बस्याे ।  सिद्धार्थकाे विज्ञानको कक्षा खाना खाइसकेपछि थियो। ऊ खाना खाने समय अगाडि पनि धेरै उत्साहित थियो। सिद्धार्थलाई विज्ञान धेरै मन पर्थ्यो, र ल्याबमा काम गर्ने भन्दा ऊ झन खुसी भएको थियो। सिद्धार्थकाे खाना खाने समयमा मायाको नेपाली कक्षा भइरहेको थियो। 
सिद्धार्थले खाना खाइसकेपछि उसको गणितको कक्षा थियो। 
सिद्धार्थलाई  कति खेर कक्षा सकियाेस् र ल्याबमा जान पाइयाेस । जस्तो भैसकेको थियो। सोच्दा सोच्दा कक्षा पनि सकिइसकेको थियो। उसको गणितको कक्षा  सकिएपछि ऊ र उसका साथीहरू लाइन बनाएर ल्याबतिर गए।  त्यतिबेला मायाको खाना खाने समय थियो। मायाले सिद्धार्थ रमाउँदै ल्याबमा गएको देखी। ल्याब उनको कक्षाभन्दा अलि टाढा नै थियो र अर्को ब्लकको सबैभन्दा माथि पट्टि थियो। उसका साथीहरू सबैजना आफ्नो ठाउँमा बसे तर उनीहरूकी शिक्षिकाले आफ्नाे मोबाइल अफिसमा बिर्सिनु भएछ। “सबै जना हल्ला नगरी बसमा आइहाल्नु” मिसले भनुभयो। मिसले उनीहरूले हल्ला गर्लान् र बाहिरसम्म सुनिन्छ होला भनेर ढाेका लगाएर मोबाइल लिनजानुभयो। मिस जानुभएको एकछिन पछि नै सिद्धार्थकाे एउटा साथीले अर्कोलाई “त्यो पेन कसको हो ” भनेर सोध्यो, अर्को साथीले “हैन यो मेरो नै पेन हो ” भनेर दुवैजनामा खोसाखोस भयो। पेनको खोसाखोसमा उनीहरूले एकजनाले अर्को साथीलाई धकलेछ। त्यो साथी लडेर आफू पछाडि भएको केही सामानलाई लडाएछ र । “ला अब के गर्ने मिसले गाली गर्नुहुन्छ छिटो उठिहाल ” एक जनाले भन्यो। उठाउँदा उठाउँदा अचानक पोखेको कुराले पर्दा छोएर पर्दामा आगो लाग्यो।  सबै जना आत्तिन थाले, कराउन पनि थाले तर कसैले पनि सुनेन ।  आगो तलको कोठामा पनि फैलिन थाल्यो। त्यो ब्लकको छेउमा नै खाना खाने ठाउँ थियो। त्यहाँबाट आगो लागेको सबैले देखे, र आगो लाग्यो भन्दै चिच्याउन थाले। मायाले गएर हेर्दा ल्याबमा आगो लागेको रहेछ। मायालाई आफ्नो भाइको धेरै नै चिन्ता लाग्यो। शिक्षकहरूले दमकललाइ फोन गरी सकेका थिए तर पनि मायालाई धेरै डर लागि रहेको थियो। ऊ तल गएर “सिद्धार्थ सिदार्थ “ भन्दै कराई तर काेठाबाट आवाज आइरहेको थिएन। मायालाई झन् चिन्ता लाग्यो। माया भवनभित्र जान्छु भनेर सोचिरहेकी थिई तर त्यति बेला नै दमकल आइसकेको थियो।  हतार हतार उनीहरू कोटाभित्र गए। काेठा भित्र सबै जना संगमरमरको ठुलो टेबल तल बसिरहेका थिए भुइँ पनि सिमेन्टको भएर आगो फैलेको थिएन तर पर्दाहरू र झ्यालकाे रेलिङमा आगाे लागेकाे थियाे ।  काेठाका साना साना कुराहरू पनि जलिसकेका थिए । कोठामा धुवाँ पनि निकै थियो र कोही कोही बेहोस पनि भैसकेका थिए । सबैलाई बाहिर निकालेपछि को ठिक छ छैन भनेर हेरियो। सिद्धार्थ बाहिर निस्किनेबितिकै मायाले गएर सिद्धार्थलाई अँगालो हाली । सिद्धार्थलाई अलि अलि मात्र हातमा चोट लागेको थियो । त्यो दिन माया र सिद्धार्थ दुवैको लागि यादगार रह्याे ।

छोरा र छोरीहरू
- Riti Niraula - 27029, Grade V ... 12 January, 2023

“छाेरा भनेर धेरै पुल्पुल्यायाैँ आखिर उनीहरूले आज ठाडाे शिर पारेर हिड्न दिएनन् ।” बुवाआमा दुवैजना निकै चिन्तित थिए । 
सुमन र रोशनीको दुवैपट्टि सहमतिमा धुमधामसँग  विवाह भयो। उनीहरूकाे काठमाडौँमा राम्रो घर थियो । दुवै जना राम्रो पढेका पनि थिए। उनीहरूकाे  विवाहको एक वर्ष पछि  परिवारको इच्छा वा दबाबले गर्दा बच्चा जन्माउने निधो गरे।

उनीहरूले गर्नु पर्ने गरे अनि नौ महिना बच्चा नजन्मेसम्म आमा र बच्चालाई पुरै परिवार र बुढाले धेरै माया र मदत गरे। आमा बच्चालाई चाहिने हरेक सामान उपलब्ध गराए। नौ महिनापछि बच्चा जन्मियो। अस्पतालमा नर्स निस्कने बित्तिकै सबैले सोधे "हाम्रो छोरा भयो कि छोरी ?" नर्सले खुसीका साथ हजुरहरूकाे  घरमा लक्ष्मीले जन्म लिएकी छिन्  भनेर छोरी ल्याएर दिए। यो खबर सुनेर बुबा धेरै खुसी भए अनि छोरीसँग खेल्न थाले। तर अरू भने धेरै खुसी देखेनन् ।

सबैलाई छोरा चाहिएको थियो। सबैले "छोराले नै वंश धान्ने हो" भने। उनीहरूले आफ्नो कर्तव्य त निभाए तर मनबाट माया भने छोरीलाई धेरै गरेनन् । आमा बुबा शिक्षित हुनाले छोरा छोरी दुवैलाई सम्मान दिन्थे। केही समयपछि छोरी एक दुई वर्ष भएपछि फेरि घरको दबाबले अर्को बच्चालाई जन्म दिए। यस पटक पनि पहिले झैँ भयो । यस पटक त परिवारले बुहारी भने,  “याे नै अलक्षिनी हाे, खालि छाेरी मात्र पाउछे ।”  यसरी आराेप लगाउँदै हेप्न थाले।
बुबा आमा भने धेरै खुसी थिए र अझै बच्चा चाहिँदैन भन्थे । परिवारले यस पटक भने छोरीलाई माया पनि गरेनन् । तेस्रो पटक पनि परिवारले गर्दा बच्चा जन्माए। यसपालि भने छोरो जन्मियो। छोरो जन्मिएर सबैजना धेरै खुसी भए। छोरोलाई हरेक सुविधा दिइयो।

छोरोलाई राम्रो महँगो विद्यालयमा पढाइयो। हरेक सानो कुराको पनि कमी गरिएन तर अर्को तर्फ छोरीहरूलाई सरकारी विद्यालयमा पढाइयो। केही चाहिएमा पर्दैन भनियो। छोरीहरूलाई त खाना, सरकारी विद्यालय, सुत्न ठाउँ र वर्षको दुई जोडी कपडामात्र दिइएको थियो।

परीक्षामा छोरीहरू सधैँ राम्रो परिणाम ल्याउथे तर छोरा  कनी कनी पास हुन्थ्यो। यसरी  नै समय बित्त्दै गयो र केही वर्षपछि छोरा रक्सी चुरोटको कुलतमा फस्यो। त्यति हुँदा पनि परिवार्ले केही भनेनन् । छोरीहरूमध्ये एक राम्रो गायिका बनिन्  भने अर्की चर्चित कलाकार बनिन् ।

दिदी भाइ त एक अर्कालाई नचिन्ने झै थिए । भाइ टीका समेत लगाउन मान्दैन थिए। आफ्नी दिदीहरूको प्रगति देखेर भाइले आफ्नै दिदीहरूको नराम्रो सोच्यो।  आफूभन्दा राम्रो काम गर्यो भन्दै भाइ झन् कुलतमा फस्दै गयो। पछि त झन् पैसाको लागि चोरी समेत गर्न थालेपछि प्रहरीकोमा पुग्यो।

परिवारले छोरालाइ सुधार केन्द्रमा हाले अनि आफ्नो छोरीहरूमाथि धेरै नराम्रो लाग्यो। छोरा छोरा भने छोरीलाइ हामीले कति हेप्याैँ भनेर पछुताे माने ।  अन्त्यमा यी छोरी हरूले नै हामीलाई सबै माझ चिनाए र धेरै पुल्पुलाएको छोरोले येस्तो देखायो।

Social Anxiety
- Eshanee Manandhar - 28004, Gr ... 12 January, 2023

Social anxiety is a mental health condition where people fear different situations in which they need to meet or talk with people they do not know. Social anxiety is also called "social phobia." According to the provided and analysed information, 2.5–7% of the world's population has been affected by this, and some are still suffering from it. Social anxiety is a common anxiety as well, so we can see many people around us suffering from social anxiety.

Nowadays, whenever some people feel nervous while speaking in front of other people or talking with strangers, they just say that they have social anxiety. Telling someone, "I have social anxiety," does not mean that you are always nervous. However, most people who do not have social anxiety claim to have it.The term "social anxiety" should not be taken for fun without knowing how it actually feels. Anxiety does not only mean feeling nervous or scared while speaking in front of others or to strangers. However, when people converse with others, they constantly sweat, get headaches, overthink most things, have trouble sleeping, and so on.

Most people believe that only shy introverts can experience anxiety.But no, they are absolutely wrong. Extroverts, shy people, introverts, social people—any type of person can be attacked by social anxiety. Anxiety about social situations can affect anyone.There is no specific group of people that cannot be affected by it.

Therefore, "social anxiety" is a term that should not be joked about. The people who have been affected by social anxiety should learn how to get rid of it, as it seems that the social anxiety is controlling them rather than the people controlling their social anxiety.

क्षति
- Yalam Dev Pradhan - 23014, Gr ... 11 January, 2023

म घरमा बसिरहेको थिएँ। मेरो बुवा, म, मेरो दाइ र मेरी आमा एउटै कोठामा बसिरहेका थियौँ। मेरो हजुरबा र हजुरआमा सुतिराख्नु भएकाे थियाे ।  म अल्छी लागेर बाहिर गएको थिएँ। त्यति बेला म एकछिनको लागि बाहिर गएर आएको थिएँ । जानै लागेको बेलामा दमकलको आवाज आयो । १ घन्टा जतिमा आवाज रोकियो। 
मैले सोधेँ “त्यो दम्कल को आवाज होइन र ?बुवाले भन्नुभयो, “हो दम्कलको नै आवाज हो।”
आमाले भन्नुभयो “कता आगो लाग्यो होला त ?” हामी सबैले थाहा छैन भन्यौँ। दमकलको आवाज धेरै नजिक भएकोले आवाज धेरै ठुलो थियो। त्यो आवाजले गर्दा मेरी हजुरआमा र हजुरबा पनि उठ्नुभएछ। उहाँहरू कोठाबात बाहिर आउनुभयो। हामीलाई सोध्नुभयो,”के भएको भख्कर?” हामिले दमकल आएको भन्यौँ। कता आएको भन्नुभयो।हामीले भन्याैँ,  “थाहा छैन” । भोलिपल्ट म बाहिर जान्छु भनेँ। भोलिपल्ट म बाहिर निस्केँ । बाहिर गएर म यता उता हिँडेँ । म बाहिर भएको बेलामा म हिजो आगो लागेको ठाउँमा  पुगेँ। कता लाग्याे होला ? भनेर यताउता चियाउन थालेँ । आगाे त लुगा पसलमा पाे लागेकाे रहेछ । माेबाइल धेरैबेरसम्म फचार्ज गरेर छाेडेकाे कारणले त्यही माेबाइल पड्केर आगाे लागेकाेकुरा त्यहाँका मान्छेबाट सुनेेँ ।  मैले हेर्दाखेरि लुगा सबै जलेर धुलो बनिसकेको थियो। म केहि पनि नगरेर हिडेँ । त्यसपछि विद्युतीय उपकरण चार्ज गरेर कतै हिड्न हुने रहेनछ भन्ने कुरा मैले साे घटनाबाट बुझेँ ।

Seeds of Fear
- Krishma Thapa - 27005, Grade ... 11 January, 2023

What is fear? We all have fear. Fear is a natural, powerful emotion experienced by humans. We all are scared of something or maybe someone. There is a lot we went through that could actually be very traumatic for one. Who we are today, we were not the same before. There is a certain age we went through, difficulties we faced. And maybe there is a certain thing that happened to us which actually is really painful for us to even remember.

Fear is something which holds us back. It doesn’t allow us to go ahead and achieve our goals. There is a lot we think about but we never achieve it. There is no one else to blame for it. It is us to be responsible for. For example, one having stage fear tries to achieve something but they cannot because they think everyone will make fun of them. And that is what actually is stopping them. We overthink a lot. We think that everyone is going to judge us for the things we did. They will make fun of us. And it is a fear, something really dangerous for us because it will never lead us ahead. Why can't we let it go and go ahead with it. We actually never think about it. We find a way of escaping problems but do we ever think about facing it? No, because we are too scared to face it.

Fear is common. It's nothing we need to fake about. We all have something we are really scared of. It counts in human emotion as it is a way for us to express things. Fear may start from the very smallest thing to something really dangerous. Something really terrific. Of course being human we experience fear. We are capable enough to think about something bothering us and something we need to stay away from inorder to keep ourselves safe or reduce being harmed. 
There are 2 types of fear. They are: Innate fear and Identity fear. Innate fear is a really common fear. It is something one is born with but they slowly try to get over it. And Identity Fear is something humans develop. There are alot of things one fears about. Many confuse themselves too. Fear is a typical response to objects or images.

Researches have proved that one can know the fear of their close ones. They are aware of each and every behaviour. We all are not born with a lot of fears we have now. One scary event that happened a long time ago can also traumatise us. Fear is a strong emotion we feel. It can be really dangerous for us too at some point of life. If we never think about overcoming the fear then we can never get ahead with all these fears we have now. We will forever be stuck here trying to figure out what are we gonna do or how are we going to skip the event we have to face. Or to be away from everyone. We can control our fear but it is not that easy because there is a lot we have to go through. Fear can be healthy but also deadly to us. Fear may keep us safe but it never goes like this all the time throughout our life.

There are a lot of ways we can actually overcome our fear but all we have to do is try it. If we never try and give up that easily then we will be forever stuck with our fear. Which will bother us a lot as it is something which will stop yourself going ahead.Taking an example, a single seed of suspicion grows into a jungle, the small fear we have may destroy us someday.
