On August 28, we the students of grade 10 attended the parent’s talk program which was held in Phewa hall of the school. The topic of the talk was “Insurance and its history”.

 Mr. Drona Pokhrel was the speaker. Firstly, he summarized the history of insurance and its origin. He explained how insurance originated from Babylon and later explained how it flourished in England during the industrial revolution. After that, insurance was introduced in Nepal. Insurance is of many types. Some of the major ones are; 

i) Marine insurance 

ii) Aviation insurance

iii) Motor accident insurance

iv) Health insurance

v) Life insurance 

 The talk was very informative. He also suggested that we get travel insurance when we go abroad for higher-level education. 

On November 4th, 2019, students of Grade 8 and 9 went to Metropolitan Police Office located near Durbar Marg also known as, महानगरीय प्रहरी कार्यालय, where we talked on different things like a collaboration of community and police ( i.e., community police partnership), a nationwide program which was established on 11th of Kartik, 2075. 

The program includes lots of schools nationwide making students aware of different illegal activities and covers different topics like cybercrime, road accidents, human trafficking, child labor, etc with students. It mainly prioritizes self-defense. The program mobilizes more than 56 control room vehicles around the valley and also monitors up to 535 CCTV cameras. For Emergency Responsive Units (ERU),  there are ten NTC, five NCELL, and one smart cell number where people can call to police.

We then talked to the in-charge of the metropolitan police officer (DIG),  Mr. Sailesh Thapa about Crime Triangle which covers three points: Intension, Capacity, and Opportunity. Then, we talked about different crimes. Mainly we talked about rape which has been increasing day by day. He shared that more than 1480 rape cases have been registered in the previous year alone.  

Then, we asked some questions to the DIG. After the completion of the program, we had black tea and some biscuit, then we came to school.

I was thinking not to go to the village this time. Since we didn't have to come to school from 11th of Asoj. I personally was very happy to stay at home. I was thinking about completing all the Hindi series called Aladdin but sadly I had to go to my village and I was informed just in the morning and we had to take off in the evening at 9:30 pm. I was sad thinking I won't get time to watch my favorite show once again from first till now. We reached our village at 4:15 am. We took a rickshaw from the main office of ward no. 4. We reached our home at 4:30 then we started cleaning for the whole 6 hours from 5 to 11. Then we ate our food and then we rested for an hour. Again from 2:00pm we managed things up to 6:00. Then we had dinner and we slept. The next morning, we got a goat from our maternal uncle’s house. We had our breakfast then we went to the Rajdevi temple. We had puja and the Pujari's Assistant chopped the head of the goat. Then we headed towards our home. We cooked meat and ate. Many people were there. After 2 days we came back to KTM and finally I watched Aladdin from where I stopped and I was happy.

Deerwalk Debate Night was conducted on 10th Asoj, 2076. The selection of the Debate Night had started two weeks from the day of the program. From our class 6 students went to the finals. Five students from the Nepali language category and 1 student from the English language, a total of 36 students from all classes. There were two-parent judges for each category and one teacher judge for each category. The event started at 4:30 pm. Yukta ma'am gave the welcome speech. The event started in the English Language category. The participants debated really well in the English Language category. After the debate of the English language category was over, the participants of the Nepali language category were introduced and the debate began. The debaters had really nice points. Both the categories were very exciting and interesting. The parents surely got to know many facts and got the knowledge & about the affairs in the world. The Nepali debate was knowledgeable. And after both, the debates prize distribution was held. In the English category, Pranjal Khatiwada from Grade VII won the gold medal and from the Nepali Category, Adhit Upadhyay from grade X won. At last Laxmi, ma'am gave the closing note and the event concluded. 

On 27th August 2019, Drona Pokhrel, the parent of grade I student gave us a speech on Insurance. We learned about many types of insurance like life insurance, travel insurance, car insurance, bike insurance mobile insurance, etc. We learned that the concept of insurance was introduced in a place called Babylon. He told us many things about insurance. We learned what happens when we do insurance like if we have an accident and we haven't done insurance of ourselves and bike then we wouldn’t get anything, and if we do insurance of ourselves and bike then we can get some money that can be helped to get treatment and maintain the bike. Doing insurance is very helpful. If we do insurance then we won't get any problems in the future.

Three days into the vacation and I couldn't get enough of it. All I did for the first couple of days or so was sleep and eat. I was having the best time out of my life as that's pretty much what I love to do. And from the second week, the horror of Dashain began! My whole family was charged up except me. But then and there they decided to go meet my mamas and that got me excited a little bit as we had done things that I remember as the days well spent. Then I picked up all the gadgets that I would be needing and the journey began. Not too long by then, I started to feel those things as a drag. I just couldn't stand all the things that were happening. There were days that I enjoyed and days that were boring too. And just like that, vacation ended.

 राज सरगमद्वारा लिखित उपन्यास छाउघर सामाजिक विषयवस्तुमा आधारित भएर लेखिएकाे उपन्यास हाे ।  उपन्यासमा छाउपडी प्रथा बारे लेखिएकाे छ । छाउपडी प्रथाले नेपाल ग्रस्त छ । विशेष गरी नेपालकाे सुदूरपश्चिम यस प्रथाकाे सिकार बनेकाे छ । उपन्यासमा सरगमले एउटी बाह्र वर्षीय बालिकामा उमेरले ल्याएकाे मानसिक, शारीरिक परिवर्तनका  साथै छाउपडीले ल्याएकाे मानसिक चिन्तालाई प्रस्तुत गर्दै त्यसका विरुद्धमा आवाज उठाएकाे प्रसङ्गलाई कथ्यकाे रुपमा समेटेकाे छ ।

This year's Dashain was very boring for me. As I don't celebrate Dashain, I don’t go for Tika. I spent most of my days at my home watching videos on Youtube. I went to my friend's house for some days and we went cycling as well. I went to play basketball too. I flew kites with my friends and went cycling. Most of the time the roads were empty. I also went to Basantapur with one of my friends. I got to see that the roads were not busy at all. Most of the shops and malls were closed. The days when I was at home were very boring and it was hard to spend those days. I practiced guitar on those days. I learned many songs and recorded them as well. I also went to some programs from the church and enjoyed the days. Dashain is not as special for me but the culture and traditions during Dashain are very fun to witness.

Our Dashain vacation started from Ashwin 13 and I was pretty excited about it. We got 16 days of holidays which I think wasn't enough for Dashain.

Ghatasthapana started on Sunday and that day was very boring because it was the day to clean my room. After that, it was time to do the shopping but unfortunately, my grandfather died so all the enthusiasm was gone and had to do the cleaning all Dashain.

However, I went outside of the town for a few days and after that I enjoyed my vacation at home, doing my school assignments and watching movies with my family. This was not so fun or remarkable to cherish but I enjoyed every moment spent with my family.

On 27th August at around 1:25 pm we the students of grade 8 and 10 were taken to Phewa Hall for Parent's Talk Program, in which Mr. Drona Pokharel, parent of Drabisha Pokharel from grade I, spoke about his profession in an insurance company. He gave us useful information about the new policy called 'Insurance’. He informed us that insurance is a policy in which we get financial protection also we would be safe from financial loss. 

There are two types of insurance. They are life insurance and non-life insurance. He expressed his facts and figures in detail. We came to know that the term 'insurance’ is new to our country Nepal. He also explained the history of insurance, how the concept began and how people started to use it. There are many types of insurance e.g. health insurance, disability insurance, mobile insurance, car insurance, house or apartment insurance and many more. The first insurance policies were brought in concept in the early 18th century but now in this modern era, insurance has been widely used in foreign countries and somewhat in Nepal too. From this informative presentation of Mr. Drona Pokharal, we came to know that insurance saves us from accidental loss.

Therefore, I would like to thank Mr. Drona Pokharel for an informative presentation. We came to know a lot about insurance and lastly, I’d like to extend my deep gratitude to the school management for organizing such a wonderful program.

On August 27th, we had Parents Talk in the seventh period by Mr. Drona Pokharel on the topic 'Insurance’. I got to know about the types of insurance: life insurance and non-life insurance. Life insurance does not have a long history in Nepal. The world was introduced to insurance from Babylon. Life insurance is for the people. Accidental death insurance is included in it. He also shared a short story related to insurance. 

Non-life insurance includes vehicles, houses, and other non-living properties of a person. He advised us to do life insurance as well. If we have our insurance done then we will get the money for our treatment if we have any accidents or we get injured whereas the non-life insurance helps us to repair our properties if they get damaged.

On the 27th of August, 2019, Mr. Drona Pokhrel gave an important speech on "History of Insurance” on our school's parent's talk event. The audiences were the students of grades 8 and 10. The speech was very informative and the students really enjoyed it.

His presentation skills were commendable. He was very fluent while speaking, the topic of his speech i.e. "History Of Insurance” was well-researched. He talked about how the concept of insurance emerged in today's world and how widely it was accepted. Mr. Pokhrel talked about the different types of insurances in the world. And he also analyzed the status of insurance in Nepal. He also recommended us to start an account. He told us how beneficial it is to have an insurance account. He asked us to even encourage our parents to get their insurance.

Mr. Drona's Speech was about 45 minutes long. Lastly, after he concluded his speech with a short and sweet story about the related topic, he was handed over the token of love on the school's behalf by Mrs. Nemala Bajracharya.
