I'm scrolling down the timeline,

Don't worry 'bout me; I'm doin' fine.

I've never felt so sad as I am now.

Just tell me how; I wanna be with you somehow.

Back to those days when we were together,

We used to talk so much; nothing would bother.

I wanted to hold your hand forever,

But it feels like we'll never meet, not ever.

I see your smile and reminisce about those days,

Like I was light, floating in space.

I want that day, but I know it's impossible.I've built my own wall; it's impassable.

I want to end this journey of hope,

But I've tried, reached the end of my rope.

I just want to feel you with my own hand,

I just want to go where you stand

Ever since birth, if you were born as one of the many lucky billions of kids who are part of a religious family, you have had contact with the holy being above all life on earth, with the ability to manipulate life and all forces of the universe. Does that sound familiar? Since birth, children have been taught to follow the rules of God, to walk the path of light, pray to God, attend pujas at God’s temples, and to believe in His presence. But has anyone ever thought about how concerning it is to tell a child to believe in a presence that they can’t feel, touch, or see and simply doesn’t exist to them except in their imagination?

We have been taught endlessly to believe in a higher being who grants wishes to its highest believers. It’s an 8 billion human-populated world. How are we supposed to know who the highest believer of God is and when they receive their wishes from Him? Sounds pretty convenient for the thousands of writers who write stories about God, doesn’t it? And what if God actually does exist and tells the people that He grants wishes to never speak of Him to another soul? Because this highly being that we speak of definitely does not want to show His highly self to His billions of believers. Some might want to disagree with this statement and say God did show His face to humans thousands of years ago. Thousands of years ago when the internet did not exist. Again, even more convenient, isn’t it?

We say God gives us the things we have in life. God created our past, our present, and our future. Everything in our life has already been written down by God, which cannot be changed. Which means that the highly being we respect and believe in, the highly being who we consider the creator of all life, suddenly wants to destroy life, cause unnecessary war, hatred, and break people apart, causing unnecessary deaths, unwanted conflicts, and injustice. Is this really the God we should be putting our faith in?

Then there come the stories that say God exists where hard work exists. God only supports you when you do hard work. God doesn’t grant you powers; He gives you the mental strength to finish your goals. God brings you luck. Basically, saying that if you do sweat-breaking hard work, achieving any goal, you will achieve your goals, which is undeniable but it will be because of God and not your hard work.

God has become this huge figure of belief for all of humanity. Every second that passes by, a person in this world is putting their full faith in God and worshiping Him to fulfill their needs. God has the power to bring equality, end evil, and fulfill the wishes of all His children. But why doesn’t He do that? Does He want to see His children in despair? Is that the God we should be believing in?

So who really is God? A real high being with extraordinary power? A fictional belief created by frauds? An imaginary faith? Or a source of mental strength?

सहर र प्रदूषणबाट टाढाको गाउँमा माया र सलिना नामका दुई मिल्ने साथी बस्थे । तिनीहरू सधैँ एउटा ठुलाे पिपलको रूखमुनि खेल्थे । एक दिन तिनीहरू खेल्दै गर्दा तिनीहरूको स्कुलका शिक्षकहरू तिनीहरूको नजिकै बस्छन् ।

उसले भन्यो, "केटीहरू, के तिमी जङ्गलको रहस्यमय झरनाको बारेमा सुन्न चाहनुहुन्छ?" उत्साहित भई कथा सुन्न चाहने कुरा व्यक्त गर्छन् ।

तिनीहरूबिचमा विशाल जङ्गलको बिचमा एउटा चम्किलो र सफा झरना छ । यो हजार हिराजस्तै चम्कन्छ।

त्यो झरनाले तपाईलाई शुद्ध पार्छ र तपाईको जीवनलाई उत्तम तरिकाले परिवर्तन गर्दछ। झरनाको बारेमा यो कथा सुनेपछि मायाले आफूलाई जङ्गलमा गएर झरनाको खोजी गर्न सुझाव दिन्छ। हिचकिचाइरहेकी सलिना भन्छिन् कि उनीहरूले पहिले खाना र हतियारजस्ता सामानहरू प्याक गर्नुपर्छ । केटीहरू प्याक अप गरेपछि पौराणिक झरना खोज्ने आफ्नो यात्रामा जान्छन् ।

जङ्गलको गहिराइमा पुग्दा अग्ला रूखहरूले आफ्ना हाँगाहरू फैलाएर छाया र रहस्यहरूको भूलभुलैया सिर्जना गरे । बाटो धेरै बढेको थियो तर हरेक पाइलामा  तिनीहरूले थप उत्साहित महसुस गरे । तिनीहरूले केही खानेकुरा खान नदीको छेउमा बस्ने निर्णय गरे । खाना खाँदा तिनीहरूले चराहरूको समूह आकाशमा उडेको देख्छन् । चराहरू किन यति धेरै यात्रा गर्छन् ?  मायाले जिज्ञासापूर्वक सोधिन् सलिनाले भनिन्, "जाडोमा चराहरू चिसो क्षेत्रबाट न्यानो क्षेत्रमा यात्रा गर्छन् ताकि तिनीहरू राम्रोसँग बाँच्न सकून्।" उसको प्रश्नको जवाफ मायालाई अब अचम्म लागेन । सलिनाले पनि विगतमा मानिसहरू जाडोमा चराहरू अन्य चराहरूमा परिणत हुने सोच्ने गर्थे । यो विचार सुनेर दुवै केटी हाँसे किनभने आजको प्रविधियुक्त संसारमा यो सिद्धान्त साँच्चै हास्यास्पद छ।

केही बेर आराम गरेपछि केटीहरू फेरि आफ्नो यात्रा सुरु गर्छन् । तिनीहरू रूख र जनावरहरू बीच हिंड्छन् । तिनीहरूले बाँदर, हिरण र साना कीराहरू देख्छन्। तिनीहरू एक-अर्कालाई एक रूखबाट अर्कोमा दौड्छन्। तिनीहरू खुसीसाथ जारी राख्छन् जबसम्म तिनीहरू नदी पार गर्दैनन्, यत्तिको स्पष्ट र तिनीहरूले आफ्नो खाली खुट्टाले यसलाई पार गरेर देख्छन्। तिनीहरूले पानीको शीतलता महसुस गर्छन्, तिनीहरूले यसको स्वच्छता महसुस गर्छन् । नदी पार गरेपछि केटीहरू सामान्य रूपमा अघि बढ्छन्। तिनीहरूले अर्को समस्याको सामना गर्छन् जब एक बाँदरले अचानक तिनीहरूको पानीको बोतल चोर्छ, पानी नहुँदा केटीहरू झरना पखेटा गर्न हतास हुन्छन् । जब तिनीहरू थकित हुन्छन् । पानीको आवाजले तिनीहरूको कान समात्छ।

माया र सालिनालाई थाहा थियो कि उनीहरूले शुद्ध जादुको ठाउँ पाएका थिए। तिनीहरूले स्फूर्तिदायी पोखरीहरूमा पाैडिदै  र माथिबाट पानीको झरना हेर्दै कालो किनारमा सुतेर घण्टा बिताए । यो तिनीहरूको गोप्य प्रमोदवन थियाे ।

सूर्य क्षितिजमुनि डुब्दा तिनीहरूले आफ्नो गाउँ फर्कने निर्णय गरे । उनीहरूलाई थाहा थियो कि उनीहरूको परिवार उनीहरूको बारेमा चिन्तित हुने छ । तिनीहरूको फिर्ताको यात्रा उस्तै साहसिक थियो तर तिनीहरूले आफ्ना नयाँ पशु साथीहरू, नदी र वरका रूखबाट सिकेका पाठहरूका साथ तिनीहरूले साहस र हाँसोका साथ प्रत्येक चुनौतीको सामना गरे ।

Beautiful lies and tremendous horror,

Living within the faces of mysteries,

True and false—a back-and-forth game,

But there was always only one answer.

Hide and hide again,

Keep your pitiful secrets hidden,

Not a glimpse of sincerity,

Trust was never an option.

Dishonesty to your own blood,

Was regret ever felt?

Maybe one day we'll learn how to trust,

But for now, we'll keep it at dusk.

No sign of communication,

No sign of love,

What's the meaning of family?

I couldn't tell you the answer.

Give each other a chance,

And blow it all away,

Welcome to my family,

A family of lies.

Once upon a time, there was a small quaint village in the core of Italy. The village was nestled between rolling hills and a glistening river. There lived a young girl named Eliana. She had long, blonde hair that shimmered like the midnight sky, and her eyes were as green as the leaves in the heart of summer. Eliana was known throughout the village for her boundless curiosity and a heart full of compassion. She lived in a tiny cottage with her grandma and mother, and she had a huge golden retriever too.

Every morning, Eliana would wander into the woods that bordered the village, with her faithful dog, Luna, by her side. Together, they explored the hidden wonders of the forest, uncovering the secrets of nature that others often overlooked. Eliana's love for the woods ran deep, and she often imagined that the trees whispered their stories to her, secrets known only to the wind and the animals that called the forest home.

One sunny day, as Eliana and Luna ventured deeper into the woods than ever before, they stumbled upon an ancient stone door covered with thick moss hidden beneath a thick bush of vines. Her heart raced with excitement, and the door seemed to beckon her closer. It bore strange, unusual designs—highly decorated carvings that appeared to tell a forgotten tale. Eliana traced her fingers over the symbols, and as she did, the door slowly opened.

When the door opened fully, what lay beyond the door was a world unlike anything Eliana had ever seen. A luminous meadow stretched out before her, bathed in the soft, ethereal glow of the setting sun. Enchanted creatures were dancing in the meadow, their laughter sounding like delicate chimes in the breeze. Butterflies of every color fluttered around, leaving trails of stardust.

Eliana and Luna cautiously and curiously stepped into the enchanting meadow. They were greeted by a group of graceful, winged beings called Luminae. These mystical creatures were guardians of the meadow and were given the task of preserving its magic. They explained to Eliana that the meadow was a place where dreams were born and where the purest of hearts could witness their desires come to life.

Eliana, with her boundless compassionate heart, was the perfect candidate to explore the meadow's wonders. She wished for happiness and prosperity for her village, and in an instant, the meadow responded. The meadow's flowers blossomed with many colors, and the creatures filled the air with songs of joy.

Eliana returned to her village with a heart full of hope and the meadow's magic in her eyes. The entire village thrived as their dreams of abundance and happiness were fulfilled. Eliana became a legend, and people from far and wide sought her wisdom. But Eliana's heart remained with the meadow, and she continued to visit it, sharing its beauty with her people.

As the years passed, Eliana's story became one of folklore and wonder, a tale of a girl who found a magical meadow, touched by her heart's purest desires, and shared its enchantment with the world. And to this day, the meadow's glow can still be seen in the eyes of those who believe in the magic of dreams and the power of a compassionate heart.

जीवन जिउनु कसरी म 

गुरु भन्छन, “पढ बिति जानेछ छ जीवन”

म भन्छु बाँचेर मात्र के गरुँ  म

जीवन जिउनु छ मलाई 

तर जिउने कसरी ?

जीवन जिउनु छ मलाई 

तर जिउनु कसरी म 

कसले भन्छ, होला मलाई 

जीवन जिउनु कसरी म

बुवा भन्छन, “जिम्मेवारी निभाऊ बिति जानेछ जीवन” 

आमा भन्छिन्, “सबैसँग राम्रो मुखले बोलिदेउ जानेछ जीवन”  

जीवन जिउनु कसरी म ?

कि बाचूँ  म आफ्नै तरिकाले ?

जीवन के हाे ? 

जिम्मेवारी हो कि  जीवन

रमाइलो हो कि जीवन 

जे भए पनि जीवन जिउनु कसरी म !

डर लाग्छ कतै 

जीवन बित्नुभन्दा अगि मै 

बिति जाने पो छु कि 

डराएर बिताऊँ कि जीवन !

हो के यो जीवन ?

कोही भन्छन्, जन्म र मृत्युबिचको 

समय हो जीवन 

कोही भन्छन्, पुण्य

कमाउनु हो जीवन ।

 गएकाे समय कहिल्यै फर्किदैन

भएकाे समय भागिहाल्छ

रहेकाे समय जहिले हताराे हुन्छ

र समय भन्छ 

मलाई  सदुपयोग गर्नुहोस् ।

हामी बुढो हुँदैछौँ

हाम्रो क्षमता पनि हाम्रो उमेरसँगै

बुढाे हुँदैछ र हामीलाई धकेल्दै छ

एउटा ठुलाे खाडलमा ।

समयलाई अगाडि जान नदिनु,

बरू समयसँग अगाडि बढ्नुहोस्

आज तपाईं आफ्नो सक्दो प्रयास गर्नुहोस्

तपाईं भोलि राम्रो भविष्यसँग खेल्दै 

रमाउँदै हातेमालाे गर्नुहुन्छ 

र सपना सजाउनुहुन्छ भाेलिका लागि ।

समयले तपाईंलाई कहिल्यै पर्खदैन

तपाईंले पनि पर्खिनुपर्छ भन्ने छैन

समय र हामी आफ्नै रफ्तारमा

जिन्दगीकाे ठुलाे सागरमा

पाैडी खेल्दै, डुबुल्की मार्दै 

समयअनुसार तर आफ्नै धुनमा

अगि बढ ।

आफ्नो समय आफैँसँग राख्नु 

आफ्नो उज्ज्वल भविष्यको लागि साँच्नु

तपाईं आफ्नो लागि मात्र गर्नु

किनकि समय आफ्नै पक्षमा मात्र छ

अरूकाे जिम्मा यसले लिँदैन

गुमिसकेपछि लिन्छुभन्दा पनि दिँदैन

किनकि समय  फर्किदैन ।

Making memories is the best you can do,

Let people decide if they want to go.

A simple thing could also be a memory,

Many things have happened in our vast history.

Memory doesn't need a set place or time,

Always try to be the first to take the prime.

Memories aren't solely about the win,

There's always something thrilling within.

Though we don't talk as we used to do,

I remember the times we spent, it's true.

I wish for more memories until the end,

I wish time could be a loyal friend.

The time we spent together was the best,

With friends, I looked my brightest, I confess.

They were the ones I shared almost everything,

I felt safe trying new things with them, anything.

Even a simple thing can be a memory,

Things that shouldn't be a luxury.

Presents need not be overly expensive,

Don't reveal a side that's offensive.

In the village named Hogsmeade, there lives a kind boy named Kevin. Kevin was famous for his courage and adventurous spirit. He liked to explore the forest and play with his friends in the meadow.

One sunny morning, while Kevin was helping his mother in the garden, they heard a loud and terrifying roar coming from the distant hills. The whole village trembled with fear. It was a dragon, a huge and fiery beast that had come to terrorize their city.

The dragon's name is Drako, with fiery red scales and scary eyes. He asked the people to bring their treasures to him, otherwise, he would burn their houses.

Kevin couldn't bear to see his friends and neighbors so scared. He knew he had to do something. With determination in his heart, he decided to face the dragon and save his city.

He ran to meet the old village sage, Mr. Merlin, who told him about a magical sword hidden in the heart of the Enchanted Forest. The sword has the power to defeat the dragon. Kevin knew it wouldn't be easy, but he was ready for the adventure.

Kevin traveled with his loyal dog, Rocky. They entered the mysterious Enchanted Forest, where there were tall trees and chirping birds. Along the way, they faced many challenges, such as slippery streams and tangled vines, but Kevin remained determined. After many days of traveling, they finally reached the center of the forest. Kevin noticed the sword emitted a magical light. He unsheathed it and felt a surge of strength and courage.

Armed with the magic sword, Kevin and Rocky returned to Hogsmeade. The city fell into panic, and Draco breathed fire, causing chaos. But Kevin did not hesitate. He stood before the dragon and said, “Draco, you cannot harm our city anymore! I have the right to stop you.”

Draco, surprised by Kevin's courage, looked at him cautiously. Kevin took a deep breath, raised his sword, and swung it at the dragon with all his strength. The sword emitted a bright light, striking Drako and weakening him. The dragon roared in pain then backed away and flew away. The villagers cheered, grateful to Kevin for his courage. Their city had been saved!

From that day on, Kevin became known as "Brave Kevin '' and he became a hero in Hogsmeade. He learned that courage and determination can overcome even the fiercest challenges. Kevin's brave actions taught everyone in town that you don't have to be big or strong to be a hero: you just need a big heart and the will to stand up for what's right. Hogsmead lived in peace, and Kevin's bravery has been honored for generations to come, reminding everyone that even a young, determined heart can defeat even the fieriest and mightiest dragons.

फुटिहाल्नु ती आँखा 

जुन आँखाले कुदृष्टि लाउँछ नेपाल आमामाथि 

फुटिहाल्नु ती आँखा

अरूको चरित्रमा प्रश्न गर्ने ती आँखा 

के माया लाग्थ्यो र ती आँखाको 

जुन आँखा बेवास्ता गर्नेको लागि बसिदिन्छ 

के माया लाग्थ्यो र त्यो आँखाको 

जुन आँखाले अहङ्कारका साथ सारा संसारलाई हेर्दछ 

भन्छन् फुलको आँखामा फूलै संसार 

काँडाको आखामा काँडै  संसार 

यी आखाँले गर्दा सारा संसार उल्टिन्छ

यी आँखाले गर्दा जिन्दगी पल्टिन्छ 

के गर्नु म यी आँखालाई ?

मेरा यी आँखाले मलाई दुख दिन्छ 

हेर्न मन लागेको कुरालाई पनि तानिदिन्छ 

यी आँखा छन् मेरा पापी 

कसरी सुधार्नु म मेरो यो बानी 

सबै कुराको नराम्रो धेरै र राम्रो थोरै 

हेर्ने यी  छन् यी आखाँ मेरा

दुनियालाई नराम्रो बनाउँदै छन् यी आखाँ 

भन्नछन् फूलको आँखामा फूलै संसार 

तर के गर्नु मेरा भएका आँखा

तीखा काँडाले भरिएका छन् 

अन्धकारले भरिएका छन् ।
