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.
On 8 July 2019, all the students of Grade 10 visited Canine Division which is located at Maharajgunj, Kathmandu. We lined up in the ground at 9:40 A.M. It just took us 15-20 minutes to reach there. We all gathered and sat on the bleachers. DSP Ram Chandra Satyal came and gave us all the information about the Canine Division. We got to see lots of dogs like German Shepherd, Labrador, Cocker Spaniel, Beagle, and Golden Retriever. We also saw the works of dogs and how they performed during crimes, disasters, etc. Dogs are trained when they are 3-6 months and they are involved in basic and specific training. After performing the activities assigned to them, they get a ball as a reward.
At last, we clicked group photos and returned to school. To conclude, the field visit was very nice and fruitful. We learned many things about the Police Canine Division.
On the 26th of August, we the students of grades 8 and 10 were given the opportunity to have Parents Talk with Mr. Drona Pokhrel. He had the topic Insurance to talk about. He talked about insurance and was also the CEO of a bank. He gave the idea about life insurance and non-human life insurance.
He is a parent of a lower school student. We were told how we are benefited by the life insurance because it takes the risks to do something. His presentation skill was good and had a clear explanation of the topic.
He said that we can do our insurance so that if accidentally we have an accident, we will be treated.
He talked for an hour and was awarded a token of love by Ma'am Nemjala. We were very pleased and satisfied with his speech and enjoyed it. He also told us to give a speech about motivation. We are looking forward to his next speech. Thank you!
NBA is a mobile video game that was developed by EA Sports (Electronic Art Sports). It is a game related to basketball. It is not easy to play this game. It takes much time to be a perfect player in it. We have to play in many live events and campaigns daily to earn the highest score among other players. In this game, players are divided into different categories like Beginners, Professionals, Hall of Fame, Superstar, etc.
Firstly, when we open this game, we have to play the tutorial of passing, dribbling, shooting, etc. Only then can we get 5 players and 5 bench players and by playing many events and campaigns, we can get many players and increase our line up. We can also play this game with our friends and with players from other countries online. We have to play a lot to earn the best lineup. We can also make a guild or clan in which all our friends can join and play tournaments. We can also play regular games and select our favourite team and play.
The environment is a mixture of all biotic and abiotic factors. Human beings are living in an environment that means activities done in the environment affect human health. All human beings should be aware of the environment. As we know our earth's radiation is increasing every year due to the harmful gases in the atmosphere. Environmental conservation should also be the agenda of the government. People should be preserving the means and resources and they must utilize it in a positive manner. Keeping in mind the concept of sustainable development, development activities should be launched. People should be conscious of the carrying capacity of the earth and henceforth, they should care for the earth.
On 8 July, we, the students of grade 10, were taken to the Police Department Canine Division located at Maharajgunj. We left school at 9:30 am and reached there in 15 to 20 minutes.
So, when we reached there we looked around and there was a huge ground to roam, run and train the dog. We were taken to a training area for dogs and there was a place where we could sit and watch. So, we sat and we were introduced to a senior officer. He told us about the history and the origin of the Police Department Canine Division and we were then introduced to four types of dogs and their roles in helping with the investigation. We were introduced to two German Shepherd and Bloodhound and some others. There were generally four sectors: Explosive, Narcotic, Investigation and Criminal activities. We were shown some demonstration on the four divisions so we had an idea of each division and what its role was.
After that, we were taken where the dogs and horses were kept. So, we went around and saw all the animals with their names and then we got on the bus and came back to school.
Life is all about inspirers and inspiring. Well, talking about my inspirer, motivator, I am happy to say that it’s my mom and dad but except them, I admire a superhero, aka Lilly Singh in my life. She is an Indian Youtuber living in Los Angeles currently. I admire her the most because her life story is changing the lives of many teenagers. She was a victim of depression for many years. She used to hate herself being an Asian with a dark her skin tone. She also lost her family member who used to support her and her symptoms of depression became worse.
She was lost mentally, she was losing herself and was also fighting against a deadly disease. A few years later, she slowly accepted the fact that she is black, she is an Asian and continued her journey to be a successful person. She was recovering every day making herself worth and accepting herself as she is. And that is how she managed to get out of depression and inspired lots of people who have suffered from depression. She also educated 25 girls from Kenya and she is working as a social inspirer and Youtuber. At last, I admire her the most because she proved that we can be a better person if we are willing to.
