Everyone has a hobby. In this world, there is no one who doesn't have a hobby. Likewise, I also have several hobbies. I love to sketch. Sketching makes me happy and creative. I love to travel to new places. Traveling to new places helps me gain knowledge about that place or historical stories. I love to listen to songs of a metallic band and a Korean band. My voice is not so good but also I love to sing. We should keep the passion for everything. I Love to play piano though I don’t know how to play. Hobbies make a person unique and creative. I really love swimming as well. Swimming is a sport that I love the most and it makes our body fit and healthy. Everyone should have a hobby. A hobby makes a person really creative and different.
Clash of clans is a multiplayer online game created by the Supercell organization whose central office is at the US. This game is available for both android and ios devices. The game was launched on July 27th, 2014 for ios and later on it was launched for Android on 27th July 2015. The objective of this game is to build a higher level of defense, walls for troops, traps by building the higher town hall. There are a total of 12 town hall in the main village. The town hall is the heart of the game. The lowest town hall is level one and the highest is 12. There are troops, like barbarian, archer, Pekka, Gobin, e-dragon, baby dragon, dragon, golem, hog rider Valkyrie, etc. through which we beat the opponent bases and collect rewards and loot which eventually helps in upgrading the town hall. This is all about the main village. In this particular game, there is the next village as well: the builder base or the night base.
There are many types of music like folk, rock, metal, hard metal, etc. In folk music, traditional instruments are played. And in rock metal and hard metal the instruments like guitar, drums, are played. Folk music is slow and modern music (like rock and metal are fast). In our country, there are no rock bands but there are music bands to play wonderful music and mesmerize our ears. There are many Nepali bands to play wonderful music but I like the band named "Kutumba” which is an instrumental band which plays Newari songs, classic and the music composed by themselves. They play musical instruments only, they do not sing. They play traditional instruments like Madal, Bansuri, Sarangi, and other Newari instruments. There are many ways to learn about music. In guitar there are chords, in a drum, there are beats and many others. If you don't know how to play instruments and know-how to sing then you can still make your career in music. There are many successful singers who don't know how to play the guitar, so, we should get inspired by them. Music is played on occasions too and they make the people dance. So, we should get inspired and if you are interested, you should make your career in music.
Music is a form of art and magic. The word “Music” is derived from the Greek word “Mousike”. Music has different genres and each has its own taste. Some of the genres are pop, jazz, blues, rock, hip-hop, etc. Music has evolved a lot from the times of great musicians like Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, Brahms, and many more. Music helps in experiencing a range of emotions. Nowadays, genres like pop, metal and its sub-genres are popular. Everybody has their own taste in music. There are no limitations in the art of composing music. It is all about creativity and knowledge. Instruments like piano, guitar, violin, flute, saxophone, etc are commonly used in the composition of music.
I would like to conclude with a quote from my favorite musician, Dimebag Darrell. “ Music drives you, it wakes you up, it gets you pumping. And at the end of the day, the correct tune will chill you down.”
We get to choose our friends but the family are the ones who are there for us since the time we are in the womb of our mother. We spend nine months in the womb of our mother before our birth but after birth, we lack spending time with our family. The distance between our parents and us increases and we gradually become more and more apart from our parents.
Nowadays, we don’t value our family time. Let me give an example of myself. I go home and have my snacks. Then, I run to my room and start either watching TV or chatting with friends or doing my homework. My mom and dad will be on the first floor and I will be on the top floor. I now realize that I will have to take out some time for my family and share things like what happened throughout the day.
Therefore, I think spending quality time with family is very important.
“Somebody said that time and tide wait for none.” Time once lost can never be recovered. Composed of moments, life is momentary. The thing that matters the most is the existing moment; the present moment, which can be controlled by us. Time is running and time doesn’t stop for anyone.
The key question to keep asking is: Are you spending your time on the right things? Because time is all you have. It is a very true statement. But the harsh reality is that most of us are not spending our time on the right things. In this 21st century, humans are attracted to modern technologies. These days people don’t even spend their time with the family saying that they don’t have time. Every second is valuable and most people are not aware of it.
We should value and respect the time and every moment. We should spend our time on the right things before the right time escapes. Henceforth, life is a story of flashbacks and time is priceless.
It was a cloudy day. It was the day that my fellows and I had been waiting for a very long time. I woke up and went to school earlier than other days. As I and my friends walked around chatting with each other, I could see other students dressed up in formal attire like me and some of my friends. After all, it was Deerwalk Poetry Night.
After a long procedure, the finalists of the Deerwalk Poetry Night were selected and I was one of them. Altogether there were 31 participants, 15 from the English language and 16 from the Nepali language. As the competition began, I started getting really nervous which affected my performance. Saisha Pudasaini was declared as the winner of the English language and Manasbhi Niraula of Nepali language. Manasbhi Niraula was also the level champion of lower school in both Nepali and English language while Saisha Pudasaini was the level champion of high school in the English language category. Besides them, Sunabi and Anushree from middle school and Arunesh from high school were also the level champions.
Poetry has always fascinated me. However, I could not meet my expectations this time which made me feel like I was falling behind. I had no confidence in me or rather I had given up before I even performed. My stage fright ruined my whole performance as I stood there whole-heartedly dejected. I learned that confidence always does miracles in every performance, and lack of confidence is something that ruins it.
The cold raindrops were hitting the ground when the clock struck 4. We were under a shade protecting ourselves from the rain. We tried to fit under an umbrella brought by the teacher but could not; so, we split into two groups and went to the event venue. When we reached the venue it was still dark as the event had not started yet; so, I sat at the back of the room. After the program started the emcee called me as one of the judges as I was the previous year’s winner, so I went ahead and joined the judges. After the English category had finished, I along with other judges went to calculate the points and finalizing the winners, after the winner was decided I went back to my previous spot at the back of the room and watched the rest of the program.
On 19 July 2019, Sifal School organized Poetry Night, where 16 finalists were selected in the Nepali category and 15 finalists were selected in the English category. We were taken to DWIT at 1:30 pm where we rehearsed till 3:00 pm. The program started around 4:15 pm. Firstly, our HOS Mr. Kuldeep Kumar Gupta gave a speech. After that, the participants of the English category shared their poems. After that, participants of the Nepali category also shared their poems. All the students performed very well. Then other students and teachers also shared their poems. After the scores were calculated by the judges, all the participants were given a certificate by our Principal Mr.Bijaya Shrestha. Then, level champions were declared. The level champion of lower school was Manasbhi Niraula. The level champion of middle school was Shunavi Pokharel and level champion of high school was Saisha Pudasaini in the English category. Likewise, in the Nepali category lower school champion was Manasbhi Niraula. The level champion of middle school was Anushree Acharya. The level champion of high school was Arunesh Manandhar. Then champions of the champions were declared. The champions were Manasbhi Niraula from Grade 3 in the Nepali category and Saisha Pudasaini from Grade 10 in the English category.
On Shrawan 3, 2076, Deerwalk Sifal School organized Deerwalk Poetry Night. The program started at 4:00 pm and ended at 6:00 p.m. It seemed that all the participants were well-prepared. Altogether there were 31 students participating, 15 from Nepali and 16 from English.
Students from grades 1 to 10 participated in this program. All the participants seemed really excited and nervous at the same time as it was reflected on their faces. Talking about the Nepali language category, Manasbhi from lower school, Shunabi from middle school and Arunesh from high school were the champions. Likewise in the English language category, Manasbhi again from lower school, Anushree from middle school and me, Saisha Pudasaini, from high school were the champions. Finally, The Deerwalk Poetry Night 2076 champions were me, Saisha Pudasaini and Manasbhi.
All in all, the program was absolutely successful and in fact really entertaining. Students got to explore their creativity. I personally worked very hard to achieve the title of the champion this year. I think that life brings a lot of opportunities to our door and it is upon us whether to grab it and learn from it or let it go. And,I have miles to go before I sleep.
Deerwalk Poetry Night was held on July 19 at Sagarmatha Hall. Participants were gone all day for their practice sessions. We were also taken to observe Poetry Night after 4 pm. We got there right on time as it did not take too long for the program to start. One after another participant showed up with their poem. Look, don’t get me wrong, every poem was a masterpiece but one poem really got me which does not happen often. I’m glad that I stayed until the end because it was quite a roller-coaster ride. There were moments where I felt like I dropped.
All in all, I cannot say that I did not enjoy the program because I really did. The parents also seemed to be happy after the event so it was a successful event.
