गुरुत्वाकर्षण बल 
- Sashwat Paudel - 2022019, Gra ... 06 September, 2020

दुई वा दुईभन्दा धेरै पिण्डबीच हुने आकर्षण बललाई गुरुत्वाकर्षण बल भनिन्छ । गुरुत्वाकर्षण बलकै कारण पृथिवीले सूर्यलाई र चन्द्रमाले पृथिवीलाई परिक्रमा गर्छन्।  गुरुत्वाकर्षण बल नभएको भए पृथिवीले सूर्यलाई र चन्द्रमाले पृथिवीलाई परिक्रमा गर्दैनथे । गुरुत्वाकर्षण एक प्राकृतिक नियम हो। जसबाट ग्रह वा तारा,तारापुञ्ज र प्रकाशसहित वस्तु वा ऊर्जाका सबै  चिजहहरू एक अर्कातिर आकर्षित हुन्छन् । पृथ्वीको गुरुत्वाकर्षण बलले पृथ्वीमा भएका वस्तुलाई आफूतिर आकर्षित गर्दछ भने  चन्द्रमाको गुरुत्वाकर्षण बलले समुद्री ज्वार पैदा गर्छ । 

गुरुत्वाकर्षण सम्बन्धी सिद्धान्त सर आइज्याक न्युटनले पत्ता लगाएका थिए | उनले यो सिद्धान्त आविष्कार गरेबापत उनलाई बेलायत सरकारले सरको मान्यता पनि दिएको थियो र उनी न्युटनबाट सर आइज्याक न्युटन भएका थिए। न्युटनको विश्वव्यापी गुरुत्वाकर्षणको सिद्धान्तअनुसार हरेक पिण्डले ब्रह्माण्डका  अरू  पिण्डलाई यस्तो शक्तिले आकर्षण गर्दछ जुन उनीहरूको तौलको गुणानफलसँग समानुपातिक हुन्छ र तिनीहरूका केन्द्रहरूबीचको दुरीसँग  विपरीत समानुपातिक हुन्छ | 

 सर आइज्याक न्युटनले सन् १६८७ मा गुरुत्वाकर्षण सम्बन्धी सिद्धान्त पत्ता लगाएका थिए | गुरुत्वाकर्षणको नयाँ  सिद्धान्तले गुरुत्वाकर्षण बल ब्रह्माण्डको समय खुम्चिएर उत्पन्न हुने भनेको छ | गुरुत्वाकर्षण बल ब्रह्माण्डका  सबै ठाउँमा लागु हुन्छ | 

सर आइज्याक न्युटन को सिद्धान्त अनुसार-:
F=Gm1m2/d2  हुन्छ | जसमा,

m1=पहिलो वस्तुको पिण्ड 

m2=दोस्रो वस्तुको  पिण्ड

d2=तिनीहरुको दुरी (square)

G=gravitational constant (6.67×10^-11) 

यसरी हामीले कुनै वस्तुको गुरुत्वाकर्षण बल पत्ता लगाउन सक्छौँ।  यही सिद्धान्तलाई प्रयोग गरेर हामीले पृथ्वीको गुरुत्वाकर्षण बल पत्ता लगाउन सक्छौँ। 

अतः  गुरुत्वाकर्षण बल भनेको दुई पिण्डबीच हुने आकर्षण बल हो जुन चाहिँ  ब्रह्माण्डका सबै वस्तुका  लागि लागु हुन्छ ।

Dashain
- Kriti Nepal - 2023016, Grade ... 02 September, 2020

There are many festivals celebrated in Nepal by different peoples from different cultures, traditions, and religions. Dashain is also one of the major festivals celebrated in Nepal with great joy and enthusiasm. Dashain mostly falls on the month of Ashwin according to the Nepali date and between September to October according to the English date. Dashain is usually celebrated as the occasion to mark the victory of the goddess Durga over the Demon Mahishasura. This occasion signifies the victory of good over evil.

The festival of Dashain is celebrated usually for 15 days. The first day is known as Ghatasthapana. On this day the people sow barley seeds which produce Jamara (barley). The people worship the goddess Durga during these days. The 10th day is known as Vijaya Dashami. On this day, families gather and the younger ones receive tika on their forehead and Jamara (barley grasses) on their heads. This is considered as blessings from the elders. This day is celebrated with great joy. The children swing on swings made from bamboo and fly kites. It is believed that during Dashain it is essential for our feet to be lifted off the ground, hence the swing.  People buy new clothes before the festival begins to wear them on this day, the people indulge in a feast with their family, the people clean their house before the festival comes, the schools, colleges, and offices are closed for these days. Dashain is considered as an auspicious occasion. On this occasion the family members, relatives, and neighbors are brought closer, peace and goodwill are maintained.

However, some people in the name of festivals cause social problems like gambling, drinking alcohol, and many more. We must not let these things happen as our culture and festival may be spoiled. We must celebrate this festival with love, peace, and harmony. We must preserve our festival as it is our identity and a matter of pride.

My Favourite Book: I Am Malala
- Muskan Singh - 2023005, Grade ... 01 September, 2020

Books are those who have inspired me in many aspects of my life. I enjoy reading books. They help to make me free from the stress by taking me to a new world without traveling. And it also enhances our imagination, creativity and teaches us about different aspects of life and the world. Subsequently, I have read several books. However, my all times, Favourite book is, “I am Malala, the girl that stood for education and was shot by the Taliban.” I have read the book of Malala, yet I read them again as I never get bored of it.

“I am Malala” is the real story of a fourteen-year-old girl’s campaign for women’s right to education. When she was conducting this campaign she was shot by the Taliban in 2011 when she was returning to her home from school through the bus. Due to this case, her campaign became more powerful and she got support from Pakistan and England. Malala’s story is an example of courage and advocacy as she was shot in the head by the Taliban but she miraculously survived and continued her campaign.

The first part of this book describes Pakistan’s history and her ancestor’s culture and tradition. Malala shared about her family and friends as well. She mainly describes her father Ziauddin Yousafzai. Through her story, I learned that the courage and strength she has was inspired by her father’s character. Ziauddin Yousafzai disobeyed Taliban orders by running a private school that encouraged girls to attend which inspired Malala. Her father faced many obstacles and the main motto of her father’s school was that “We are committed to building for you the call of the new era”. Her father believed that the pen is more powerful than swords which inspired me a lot. 

Her father was the person who gave her courage and strength to stand to fight for the women’s education right and which ultimately helped her to be the youngest Nobel peace prize winner. 

Some of the quotes of Malala was really motivational, my favorite quote derived by her is, “One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.” This is just a sentence but has deep meaning. Malala is considered as the symbol of peace and bravery across the world. Not only has Malala become an international symbol of inspiration and bravery, but her survival instilled educators with courage-and is slowly helping make Pakistani schools safer.

So, I think that this is a must-read book. I found this book very much inspiring and motivation due to which I consider this as the best book I have read till today. She delivered about education in one of her speeches that was, “Education is education. We should learn everything and then choose which path to follow. Education is neither Eastern nor Western, it is human.”

So, I recommend this book to everyone, and I believe that whoever will read this book would get something through it.

Creepy Pasta
- Aryan Thagunna - 2022003, Gra ... 31 August, 2020

Modern day internet has everything you can dream of. We can simulate our entire daily life here. Go to work, attend school, order food, shop, or even visit a website with virtual toilet paper (why does this exist?). As wise people always say, good things come with a fair share of bad things. The topic of focus today is Creepypastas.
 

We have had our elders tell us stories all our childhood. But the one in everyone’s preference is horror stories. We love getting scared. Just as the internet replaced everything else in our lives, the storytellers have been replaced too. So have the stories. Now the stories are not just about a ghost scaring people, they have “Evolved”. These stories I’m talking about are creepypastas. Even though you might’ve never heard of creepypastas, there are a million people who are invested in this. It has an entire fandom dedicated to it with more than 12,000 pages. The fandom describes creepypasta as, “internet horror stories, passed around on forums and other sites to disturb and frighten readers”. Creepypastas have been around ever since the internet was made available to the public. They can be disturbing images, stories, or videos. People indulging in these stories can be anyone from wanting a good scare, entertaining people, or straight up wanting to harm people mentally. Some famous creepy pastas are the Smile Dog, Slenderman, Sirenhead, Squidward’s suicide, and Jeff the Killer.
 

Creepypastas are so elaborate that they make the reader believe that they’re real. People describe them as real-life incidents and that they were a part of it and barely made it out alive out of it. But as of date many none of them have been proved fake or real. While tempting it may be to believe in what they say if we use our common sense we can know what is true and what's not. The legitimacy of creepypastas is an even greater debate than the creepypastas themselves. Are they all real or is it just a hoax. Should we believe in them and be scared or is it just a big internet inside joke. Indulging in creepypastas is a person’s choice; it isn’t that different from watching a horror movie. So a person at their own discretion can indulge freely in creepypastas. But they do have many negative side effects. Creepypastas almost always have violence in them so only people over the age of 13 are and should be allowed to read them. 
 

In the process of writing this article, I came across a few ones I’ve never heard of that I really regret looking into them. Normally my articles are full of sarcasm (or so I think) but coming to creepy pastas I couldn’t bring myself to involve it with comedy. If you are one who cannot watch a horror movie without having hands over your eyes then I STRONGLY advise staying away from creepypastas. Creepypastas are just stories so reading them would do you no harm just like watching horror movies don’t. It is just our fear that we must check before we get into these stories.

Laika - The Space Dog
- Himani Bhattarai - 2023017, G ... 30 August, 2020

Laika is one of the first animals to go to space and orbit of the earth. Laika was a Soviet space dog. She was a female mongrel. She was a normal street dog in Russia who was selected to go to space. Soviet Scientists chose to use Laika because she had already learned to endure conditions of extreme cold and hunger.

The aim of the mission was to learn how much a dog could last in space. To adapt the dogs to the confines of the tiny cabin of Sputnik 2, she was kept in progressively smaller cages for up to 20 days. After being well trained, Laika was ready to go to space. The original plan of the mission meant for Laika to return. The soviet even told the media that she would be comfortable and would return home safely, but the plan was changed as Nikita Khruschev wanted the satellite to be used in conjunction with the 40th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution, so the scientists had to create a spacecraft in a short period of time. She was sent to space in a rocket called Sputnik 2 on 3rd November 1957. When the rocket was launched Laika panicked and became terrified. Her heart rate spiked racing at three times the normal rate. The Sputnik 2 spent 5 months on the earth’s orbit only to fall down to the earth’s atmosphere on 14th April 1958. When it entered the earth’s atmosphere it struck across the sky at an incredible speed making it turn red. The spacecraft crashed on the earth’s ground. The Soviets claimed that Laika survived several days in the earth’s orbit. It was a suicide mission for her because Sputnik 2 was not designed to bring her back to the earth. The Soviets on the space program knew that Laika would not be making the trip back to earth safely and was expected only to spend a few days alive up in space. She unknowingly gave her life for the Soviet scientists. Laika is remembered in the form of a statue and plaque at Star City, Russia for the sacrifice she made.

Mental Health
- Simone Shree Pathak - 2023012 ... 27 August, 2020

Mental health plays a vital role in a person’s daily life. It basically refers to a person’s psychological and emotional wellbeing. It is regarded as very important since a person’s health condition is concerned with it. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), mental health includes “subjective well-being, perceived self-efficiency, autonomy, competence, intergenerational dependence, and self-actualization of one’s intellectual and emotional potential, among others." It further states that the well-being of an individual is encompassed in the realization of their abilities coping with normal stresses of the life productive work and contribution to their community.

 When mental health deteriorates, the health condition of our body itself deteriorates resulting in us having problems in day-to-day lives. When mental health is ill, one can get several types of mental illnesses which are obviously harmful to our body. The symptoms of deteriorating mental health include anxiety, mood swings, stress, etc. With the small symptoms of mental health can get even more severe. When one is mentally ill, Their behavior and thoughts change. They become even more distant from people. Mental health can make our life really complicated and it can cause problems in our daily life due to the malfunctioning of the brain. The first symptoms include the feeling of sadness, social distancing, aggressiveness, and others. This can lead to more severe mental illnesses like Depression, Bipolar disorder, Paranoia, Eating disorders, etc. 

In this era, many people have mental health concerns from time to time. Especially teens and young adults have been suffering from mental illnesses regarding stress and anxiety. There are various risk factors when one is suffering from mental illness. For example, one can have traumatic experiences and they can also ruin their relationships with their family friends.

Mental health also provokes other physical diseases. So it is best to stay in our best mental shape.

 It is still preferably better if one goes for a check-up from time to time without neglecting their mental health. And even if one is suffering from the symptoms it is better to get help and open up from the early symptoms before it gets severe and one should also love themselves and take good care of their health.

Book Review -  Eleven Minutes
- Estella Shrestha - 2023013, G ... 26 August, 2020

Eleven Minutes is a novel by Paulo Coelho which was published in 2003. It is translated from the Portuguese language by Margaret Jull Costa. This Novel was recommended and was given by Mr. Suraj Khanal. The genre of this novel is fiction and romance. The theme as Maria had to experience pain throughout her life in order to discover her true self. Loneliness is shown through the novel as Maria was lonely and her soul and mind were lost in order for her to continue with her difficult career choice.

The story takes place in Brazil and Maria shifts to Europe for her work. In the interior of Brazil, there was one cinema, one bank, and one nightclub. Maria lives in a dusty street in Brazil with her family. Draper's shop is a place where Maria does her job. Maria also goes to Rio de Janeiro. It is in Rio de Janeiro where Maria meets Roger, the Swiss man who hires Maria to dance at his club in Geneva, Switzerland. Maria is an adolescent who is a prostitute. On the first day of the school term one, she was ahead going on the way to school she realized that on her way she was not alone. A boy was following her (the name is not mentioned in the book) he was her neighbor. Usually, they didn't communicate with each other. Maria started to have feelings for him but at the same time, she hated him when he didn't love her back. She stopped liking him and moved on. She shifted to Europe for work. After three years, Maria learned geography and mathematics. Maria started writing a diary describing her humdrum life and her desire to experience first-hand the things they told her about in class the ocean, snow, men in turbans, elegant women covered in jewels. She turned fifteen, she fell in love with a boy in a Holy Week procession. They started to interact and started going to the cinema and to parties together. 

Six months passed Maria learned all the necessary lessons, for example, how the Copacabana worked.  It was one of the most expensive places in Rue de Berne.  Most of the prostitutes who worked there were aged between eighteen and twenty-two and they stayed, on average, for two years, when they would be replaced by newer recruits. They then moved to the Neon, then to the Xenium. They almost all ended up in the Tropical Ecstasy. The Copacabana was a quiet place, and Switzerland was possibly the best country in the world in which to work as a prostitute.

Maria got fired from her job. She is living in Geneva, Switzerland. She is hoping that she might get a job very soon. Usually, in her free time, she used to go to the library named Little prince to get more knowledge about sex. She takes a book name, "The Psychology of Frigidity in Women".  Maria was able to discover that place as soon as she got there she gotta learn it was a night club which was owned by Milan( a man who was really famous in Geneva). This nightclub was the most expensive one in that area. She became a prostitute at that place. She worked there for nine months and in the middle of her job she used to take the time to go to the library and she reads about human emotions rather. Similarly, after nine months she became rich and quitted her job. She decided to go back to her hometown and do the farming-related works so she read the book farm administration. She went to the cafe to read a book. She met a painter called Ralf hart. Maria falls in love with him immediately and begins to experience what "true love" is. Ralf went to the Rue de Berne and asked Maria for a drink but she refused. After several meetings with Ralf Hart, often at his house, they shared something she didn’t share with any other clients. She felt hopelessly in love with him as he brought her to rekindle her soul. Maria then felt she needed to leave Rue de Berne because of her feelings and travel home to her family regardless of the fact that if she worked for just six months longer, she could have given her family everything they desire. 

In the end, Maria decides to put an end to her adventure and to return home to her parents. She has enough money to buy a small farm and enough life experience to keep her away from trouble. She jumps on a plane headed for Paris without telling Ralf about her plans. Ralf guesses her intentions and decides to follow her to Paris and ask for one more chance. They meet at the airport and kiss and decide to visit the Eiffel Tower.

The protagonist herself discovers many things. This book gives a lesson about loving a person by heart. And one of the main reasons I liked this book is because it says that we should not give up easily like Maria. She always ended up having many boyfriends and waited for her prince charming then she started liking a boy and started dating. She never gave up. We should never give up in love no matter how hard it may seem somewhere out there God has made the perfect match. The languages used here are very simple and t

Multiverse
- Anushka Basnet - 2023002, Gra ... 19 August, 2020

Multiverse was hypothesized by a physicist named Erwin Schrodinger. Basically, “multiverse” is a theory that throughout a person’s life they may be faced with millions of different choices which could lead to millions of different outcomes. Each time one of these proverbial crossroads is arrived at, the universe splits into several possible branches based upon the decisions available to the individual at that moment in time. The branches go on to co-exist as separate spacetimes and given the amount of life we predict in the universe, it may be possible that there is an existence of an infinite amount of alternate universes. This theory is kind of like that of “Butterfly Theory”. Some believe that there is another universe where there is the same exact person like you with the same characteristics, family but there is a little bit of a difference. Some believe that there is an infinite amount of those universes, not only two. Technically according to the theory, we co-exist but we live in different dimensions. Till this date, there's been a lot of “evidence” that multiverses do exist. For example, once a person from the country Taured (which does not exist in this dimension) visited Japan for a business trip but the country never existed and all that he said wasn't true (at least in this dimension) he was kept in the top floor of the airport hotel with two guards at the door because he seemed suspicious to the cops and this case was going to be handled by the government. But when the officers arrived he was not there. It was not possible for him to run away through the door because there were two guards and not from the window as he was on the top floor. So where did he go? We don't know till this date. But it is actually weird that science doesn't have any explanation for it and this theory is still unsolved. Looking at the evidence and many other similar pieces of evidence, the multiverse does exist as scientists believe that under every massive black hole there is another universe.

My Favorite Author
- Muskan Singh - 2023005 , Gr ... 18 August, 2020

I have read numerous books until now but none of them are as interesting and inspiring as that written by Lois Lowry. She is the author of several books for children and young adults. She is known for writing about a difficult subject and complex themes that work for young audiences.

I have read her best selling novels, “The Giver” and “Number the Stars”. I loved the storyline of these two novels. Lois won two Newbery Medals for these books. I simply loved Lois's “The Giver” as I thoroughly enjoyed this book even though it is a book for children its complex storyline is enough to hold the attention of the teenagers and older readers. I  loved the character named “Jonas” as it is shown how a scared little boy develops himself into someone willing to take a risk in the future. This novel shows us the process of growing up; at first, we get scared to accept many responsibilities but soon we get used to it and we move away from our childhood.

Throughout the book, Jonas' loss of trust in his parents is also important in communicating the morals of the story. At the beginning of the novel, he believes his parents completely. Anyway, he loses his trust and admiration for his father when the giver shows Jonas the tape of his Father "releasing" a newborn child. This incident forces Jonas to leave the community. I loved this book due to these intense feelings. It made me question, “Is the society we live in fact ideal?”  or “Have we also been brainwashed into thinking this is what our lives should be like?”

Similarly, I also loved “Number the Stars” which is a fictional story of friendship, loyalty, and courage set during the Nazi period in Denmark. The story begins in Cophengan with Annemarie, her best friend Ellen, and her younger sister Kristi during the Nazi rule. There was a sign of war everywhere, there were soldiers in the corner of the streets, food was scarce.  The Nazis were taking the Jewes to somewhere that is worse than hell. So Annemarie protects her friend Ellen from them which teaches us the true meaning of friendship.  I  loved that the Holocaust and the situation of the second war were introduced in an ideal way. This book provides an opportunity to discuss topics such as loyalty, friendship, and making difficult choices.  The most interesting fact that attracted me towards the novel is that the author got the idea of the story from a friend Anneliese Platt who lived in Copenhagen during the German invasion and told stories of the bravery of the Danish people. So, in conclusion, I loved these two books written by Lois Lowry. 

Lois as a writer began her career by writing a short story that was published in a magazine. Despite the fact that she was already married and had children, she took out time for her writing as well. She worked hard for it. Many obstacles were there, but she overpassed them and developed herself as a successful child writer.

Lois’s writing is inspirational and her life journey is motivational. I simply love the way she expresses things through her writing. She is an inspiration to me.
