Apocalypse
- Sakshyam Karna - 26013, Grade ... 22 February, 2024

It had been almost three years since the resistance had fallen. The city had been changed into a dumpster because of all the battles, spaceships crashing, and the reactor explosion. Adam was one of the few members of the resistance who had survived. He should have been the first to die since he was the closest to the reactor blast. The reactor had been the last hope humans had at winning this war, but because of the betrayal of Noah, the intruders had found its location and had bombed it. 


 

Almost half of the resistance army had been destroyed in the explosion, and it killed all of the generals and scientists they had, except Adam. He was inside the reactor when a siren started blowing. He could see the people panicking from inside. He saw Noah pull out a gun and shoot the other scientists. By the time the security came, Noah had been escorted out by the alien’s aircraft. Adam was opening the exit of the reactor when everything went black. He woke up after what felt like an eternity. His ear was buzzing, and people were running aimlessly. There was the sound of gunshots and aircraft. Adam stumbled around the debris, trying his best to stay on his feet. An aircraft flew over him. It looked similar to the ones in which Noah had run away, but now that he thinks of it, he was not sure that it was Noah. It could have been an imposter; who knew what the extent of the power of the aliens were? Maybe they could shape-shift. THUD! Everything went black after that. 


 

He woke up after a month. He had been shot in the head, but somehow he survived. There was an excruciating pain in his head, but there were no signs of injury. He stood up but could not. His leg was stuck in a rod from the debris. He tried to think of a way to get out but could not think of any that did not involve having to cut his leg off. He saw a rock near him but could not reach the rock, no matter how hard he tried. He thought if he could bend the rod and make it straight, maybe he could pull his leg out. He tried bending it with all the force he had. After a few hours of struggle, he finally managed to straighten the rod. Now was the difficult part: ignoring the pain and pulling his leg off. He slowly tried sliding his leg outside of the rod. 


 

The pain was too much to handle, but he got his leg out. He lay on the floor for a while and then started looking for a stick to lean onto. But by the time he found something promising, he realized that his leg was healing. The hole made by the rod in his thigh was almost healed by the time he removed his clothes to check. He was shocked to see this, but when he saw a plane scanning over him, he went to find shelter. After some time, he found someplace to hide but was disheveled and confused about the things that had happened in the past few months or years? He did not even know. He lay down beside a rock and started making plans for the future.

- Kritanjali Odari - 27018, Gra ... 22 February, 2024

हाम्रो सिफल स्कुलद्वारा आयोजित खेल कुद प्रतियोगिता नियमित कार्यक्रम हो । हाम्रो विद्यालयमा खेलकुद सप्ताह कार्तिक २० गतेबाट सुरु भएको थियो । यो प्रतियोगिता सात दिनसम्म लगातार चल्ने गर्छ । हाम्रो विद्यालयमा ४ ओटा हाउस छन् । सबैको आआफ्नो हाउसलाई चिनाउने रङ्गहरू छन् जस्तै कोशीको निलो झन्डा छ । कर्णालीको हरियो झन्डा छ । महाकालीको भान्टा रङ्गको झन्डा छ । मेचीको सुन्तला रङगको झन्डा रहेको छ । 

सबै हाउसहरूका आआफ्ना शिक्षकहरू हुनुहुन्छ र हाम्रो हाउसकाे साम्यो म्याम, मजिना म्याम , रोहित सर हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँहरूले हामी बाल बालिकाहरूलाई उत्प्रेरित र हौसला दिनु भएको थियो। उहाँहरूको साथ र समर्थनले गर्दा हामीलाई खुसी र हौसला मिल्यो । म महाकाली हाउसको सदस्य हुँ । मलाई त्यो सप्ताहभरि मन परेको खेलकुद बास्केट बल रहेको थियो । मलागयत  मेरो टिम श्रीया दिदी, समिरा दिदी , सुबिज्ञा दिदी र डीना दिदी मिलेर बास्केटबलकाे खेल जित्न सफल भयाैँ । मलगायत मेरो टिम र हाम्रो हाउस शिक्षक निकै खुसी भयाैँ । हामीहरूको टक्कर फाइनलमा कोशी हाउससँग परेको थियो । त्यो हाउसमा निकै राम्रा र हामीभन्दा ठुलो तहमा खेल्ने खेलाडीहरू थिए । त्यसकारण मलाई डर लागिरहेको थियो तर, म र मेरो टिम जे हुन्छ, हुन्छ भनेर लागि पसेर खेल्न थाल्याैँ । हाम्रो खेल हेर्ने एउटा दाइ हुनुहुन्थ्यो  । उहाँले हामीलाई सलाह सुझाव दिनुभएको थियो ।  खेल हाम्रो लगभग ४८ मिनेटको हुन्थ्यो । खेल सुरु भयो । कोशीलाई पेलेर खेल्न सुरु गर्याैँ । पहिलो अङ्क श्रीया र सुविज्ञा दि मिलेर  हान्न सफल भए । हाम्रो हाउसलाई समर्थन गर्ने हाम्रै हाउसका समर्थक विद्यार्थीहरूले  हुटिङग गर्न थाले । हामीले पहिलो अङ्क पाएकाे २ मिनेटपछि हामीलाई हाम्रो बास्केटबल प्रशिक्षकले हामीलाई ब्रेक दिनुभयो । त्यो ब्रेकको समय ३ मिनेट मात्र थियो, त्यहाँ हामीले अझै हाम्रो टिमलाई बलियो बनाउने सल्लाह गर्याैँ। हामीलाई त्यहाँको दादाले फेरि खेल सुरु भयो भनेर बोलाउनु भयो । खेल सुरु भयो, बिस्तारै खेल्दै गर्याैँ । कोशीले हामीलाई दबाब दियाे तर हामीले पनि उनीहरूलाई पेल्दै गयाैँ ।  अर्को एक अङ्क आयाे हाम्राे । जति अङ्क बढ्दै गयो त्यति कोशीले हामीलाई नराम्रो गर्दै गयो। उनीहरूले हामीलाई दबाबमा पारे पनि हामीले आफ्नो कोसिस गर्न छाेडेनौ ।

केही समयपछि हाम्रो बास्केटबल खेलाउने प्रशिक्षकले ब्रेक दिनु भयो । हाम्रो एक अङ्कलाई २ भनेर मानिदो रहेछ । कुन ठाउँबाट बास्केटमा बल छिराएकाे त्यहीअनुसारकाे अङ्क प्राप्त हुँदाे रहेछ ।  हाम्रो हाउसको शिक्षकले जित्नुपर्छ है भनेर हौसला दिनुभयो हामीलाई । हाम्रो प्रशिक्षकले अर्को तरिका दिनुभयो । हाम्रो आराम लिने समय सकियो । यो हाम्रो अन्तिम ओभर थियो । अन्तिम ओभरमा मैले एक अङ्क हाने र अन्तिमकाे २ मिनटमा कोशीले  हान्यो । कोशीका खेलाडीहरूले  आफू जित्नुपर्छ भन्ने धेरै आत्मविश्वास थियो तर त्यसाे भएन । खेल सकिएपछि हामी महाकालीको सबै सदस्य भएर फोटो खिच्याैँ । रमाइलो गर्याैँ । हामी सबै जना पदक लिने समय कुरेका थियाैँ । त्याे समय डियरवाक सिफल नाइटमा आयाे र हामीले पदक लियाैँ । यसरी यस वर्षकाे खेल सप्ताह सकियाे ।

जुन सधैँ जसको लागि गर्व गर्छ ।

Brain Drain Politics
- Ashish Dahal - 27004, Grade I ... 21 February, 2024

Nepal is a beautiful country set in the heart of the Himalayas. But this beauty has been dealing with a very huge virus that has been killing Nepal from inside, ‘Brain Drain’. This is a very huge problem in any country. This problem makes it so that there are no people who can work or be able to stay in their motherland. In Nepal, there are many factors that have been causing this problem. I would like to talk about the main cause of this problem: ‘Politics’ of Nepal.


 

The politics in Nepal has not been stable for decades. Changes in governance and constitution have been very common in Nepal. The shift in power dynamics is very huge. One day one political party might be in power but the very next day someone else comes. There has been too much conflict in this nation over the political power. Youth in this conflict either go abroad for work and education or a little bit of those who are still here get influenced by a political party and die in that conflict. The guys who want to go abroad also sometimes get into this political matter and die in it. As there was news that a guy was shot dead by a police officer for protesting about the government not letting them go abroad. Politics has been like a business in Nepal. In every household there is someone who is a politician more than actual workers in Nepal; there are politicians. Those politicians are also not so fair as Nepal has been set up for the 110 countries in corruption among 180 countries. Nepal has a corruption index rate of 34% as it shows how corrupt Nepal’s politicians are.


 

Nepal has very few factories and very few job opportunities. Most of the young people who have been staying and working also don't earn that much. The money earned from hard work in Nepal is less than in other countries. If a person works the same amount of time giving the same amount of dedication and working hard, then he can earn way more money than he can earn in Nepal. In Nepal, there are already monopoly sets for any business one likes to start because of that there are very few business sets in Nepal. Nobody invests in Nepal because it looks like a business that can never grow. People are very scared to run any kind of business because of heavy inflation; one day the raw materials might cost less but the very next day it might skyrocket. The whole economy is not stable in Nepal. The trade is also very fluctuating. But if one would like to start anything, one would need human resources. That key thing is also missing in Nepal. In every household, there are some who have gone abroad to either study or work in Nepal.


 

Although this problem might be affecting Nepal, the government is trying to get rid of this problem. They are adding courses in school that would stress the importance of staying in the motherland. They are adding new things in the government like if anyone wants to start a business, the Nepali government would sponsor it. Adding many more things and trying to make politics stable and getting rid of monopoly in every market might be the way of getting rid of this problem in my thoughts.

Why Do People Lie?
- Rushina Tamang - 26008, Grade ... 20 February, 2024

Let’s admit the fact that we all have lied at least once in our lives and it’s not wrong. Sometimes during near death or necessary situations a person has to lie. As it is in our survival instinct. But lying becomes a problem when it becomes a regular practice. Even in situations where it is better to speak the truth for the better and apologize, people prefer to lie. Children are parented from a young age to always speak the truth and never to lie then how do they grow up to be adults who lie. Well, it’s not their fault, it is just the environment that they grew up in. We lie so that we don’t have to stay in a stressful situation which might take a toll on us physically  or mentally. Lying is necessary and important in appropriate situations as much as telling the truth is. But some adults grow the habit of lying so much to the extent where they develop anxiety to tell the truth or find it physically difficult. And growing up amongst these types of adults, children just adapt to lying to not get in trouble with their respective adults in their lives. 


 

It’s normal to lie and it is necessary but when it becomes a habit, then is the moment it becomes an unfair motive. Because sometimes in a situation when a person can easily tell the truth and fix a problem with just a simple apology they lie. And even if they do not lie and tell the truth, they fabricate it with hundreds of excuses one on top of other causing the person who was blaming them initially to think that they were in the wrong for blaming them. Which is the situation I personally hate the most. Because I believe that if you are generally trying to fix a problem, you shouldn’t fabricate your apology with excuses because even if the truth is being said, I would consider it as a lie. If a person is at fault, their apology should basically output as, “I am very sorry. I did these wrong things to you. Please forgive me.” And that’s it. It is the most general form of an apology that sounds like it is actually meant. 


 

And as an adult, we should prevent our children from getting involved in the act of constant lying. For example:- You can’t argue with your partner in front of your young child for years as they are growing up and when they just adapt to the fighting and start distancing themselves from you because they don’t want to get involved or are mentally scarred and scared, you come up finally want to be a proper parent and fix the scar that cannot be erased and apologize and your apology sounds like, “It was all your other parents fault, they ruined everything which is why I they argued so much, I tried to tell your other parent to not fight in front of you as it might affect you (They did but never initiated this thought), etc.” blaming everything on everything else but them and then telling them to be strong and handle this trauma like an adult. This type of parenting, you can’t even call it parenting. It is more like manipulating. 


 

This is why I think most children and adults prefer to lie. It isn’t their fault, it is just the happy and so definitely cheerful environment that they grew up in that is just perfect for children.

आगोको सुरुवात
- Rushina Tamang - 26008, Grade ... 19 February, 2024

म माथि मेरो हक हुन्छ,

मैले जन्म लिएर पाएको 

मेराे अधिकार र मेराे कर्तव्य

मेराे जन्म मेरा लागि,


 

उडानबाट बन्दी गर्न नमिल्ने चरी झैँ,

म माथि मेरो हक हुन्छ । 


 

छाला चिर्ने तेरो किरणबाट मुक्त हुन

आफूमाथि छाया पाउन ममाथि मेरो हक हुन्छ। 


 

मेरा पुस्ताहरूले रगत बगाएर

बनाएकाे भएको यो गर्वशाली भूमिमा,

टेक्न पाउने ममाथि मेरो हक हुन्छ । 


 

मेरी आमाको शरीरबाट प्रकट भएको मेरो यो शरीरमा

रातो सारी र रातो टीका लगाउन पाउने ममाथि मेरो हक हुन्छ । 


 

मेरो आमाबुबाले पसिना बगाएर 

मलाई हुर्काउनु भएको यो शरीरमा,

दौरा सुरुवाल ढाका टोपी लगाउन पाउने

ममाथि मेरै हक हुन्छ । 


 

मैले बगाएको पसिनाले बनाएको यो भूमिमा,

मैले स्वतन्त्रताका साथ जिउन पाउने म माथि मेरो हक हुन्छ । 


 

त श्रापीले सिंहासन पाएर पनि,

तेरो त्यो सिंहासनमा हक पाएको छैनस् । 


 

जुन राज्य तलाई तेरो जस्तो लाग्छ,

त्यो राज्यमा तैँले आफ्नो छाया पनि ढाल्न सकेको छैनस। 


 

जुन सुतेको राज्यको तैँले फाइदा उठाइराछस्,

त्यो राज्य उठे पछि तैँले कहिले सुत्न पाउने छैनस् । 


 

अहिले त तैँले मेरो शरीर जलाई हाल्लास्

तर जुन आगो तेरो मृत्युको लागि बाेल्ने छ 

त्यो आगोलाई तैँले कति पनि आँशुले बुझाउन सक्ने छैनस् । 


 

श्रापीहरूका लागि जुन आगो बल्ने छ,

त्यो आगोलाई तैँले आफ्नो आँसुले 

बुझाउन सक्ने छैनस्, राेक्न सक्ने छैनस्

शान्त पार्न सक्ने छैनस् अनि त्यसले आफ्नाे काम गर्ने छ ।

Comparing Internet with Real Life
- Aavash Malla - 26001, Grade X ... 16 February, 2024

The Internet is a massive platform where all of us can share our thoughts, views, and opinions. On the internet, there is a wealth of new knowledge that we can gain and share simultaneously. Although the internet plays a major role in improving one’s life, there are some negatives that are very unwanted and undesired by society.

We have seen many things on the internet that we believe are true, but we do not know that for sure. When we are uncertain of the truth, it might as well be fake or false. Nowadays, almost all of us believe what is shown on the internet, but do we ever confirm if the news is true or false? Most of us do not, which is a big mistake. There are many things that we see on the internet that are true, and there are just as many false things as well. On the internet, there are many influencers who promote different things. For example, some might promote mental health, while others might promote physical health. There are different measures that one might take to improve both their mental health and physical health.

There are videos of people becoming rich from being broke, and after seeing those videos, we also think that we can do what they did. But real life is very different. We might be able to do what they did, but we have to work as hard as them and not waste our time on unnecessary things. Social media plays a big role in either improving our life or making it worse. We see all these influential videos on social media where they post about their life and how it improved. There are physical athletes and bodybuilders who show their transformation from having a poor body image to having a good body image, and we believe we can achieve it. But we have to put in the equivalent amount of effort and dedication that they gave to achieve what they achieved. There are hundreds and thousands of fake videos shown on the internet that are all very appealing and interesting but are not true.

Comparing the Internet with real life, we can say that most of the things that we see are not completely true. There are videos of beautiful places with amazing scenery, but if we visit those places ourselves, the results might be totally different. People from all around the world post different things on the internet, and we believe them. But in real life, things are very different. There might be things that we do not like on the internet, such as false and fake news. We believe in what we see, and that can lead us to believe different things and other fake things. If what we saw on the internet were true, then all of us would just be on the internet all day instead of experiencing things on our own.

दोलखा भीमसेन: एक परिचय
- Srishad Shiwakoti - 27026, Gr ... 16 February, 2024

नेपाल प्राकृतिक सुन्दरताले भरिपूर्ण देश हो । नेपालमा ७७ जिल्लाहरू छन् र सबैका आ-आफ्ना महत्त्व र परिचय छन् । तिनै जिल्लामध्ये, दोलखा पनि एक हो । जुन नेपालको उत्तर पूर्वमा अवस्थित छ । यो जिल्लाको पूर्वमा सोलुखुम्बु र पश्चिममा सिन्धुपाल्चोक जिल्ला रहेको छ । त्यस्तै यो जिल्लाको उत्तरमा तिब्बत पर्छ । दोलखा जिल्लामा धेरै सुन्दर हिमाल, पहाड, झरना, तालहरू छन् । प्राकृतिक सुन्दरता सँगसँगै यहाँ मन्दिर र पुराना वास्तुकलाहरू पनि हामीले देख्न सक्छौँ । दोलखाको मुख्य पर्यटकीय स्थलहरूमध्ये कालिन्चोक, जिरी, छो-रोल्पा हिमताल, गौरीशङ्कर हिमाल आदि हुन् । यसका साथसाथै दोलखाको पुरानो सहरमा अवस्थित प्रसिद्ध धार्मिकस्थल भीमसेन मन्दिर पनि दोलखाको परिचय हो ।

 

 

दोलखा जिल्लाको सबैभन्दा पुरानो, एतिहासिक तथा साँस्कृतिक र सुन्दरताले भरिपूर्ण दोलखा बजारमा यो मन्दिर अवस्थित छ । काठमाडौँबाट १३३ किलोमिटरको यात्रा गरेपछि हामी दोलखाको सदरमुकाम चरिकोट पुग्न सक्छौँ र  यो मन्दिर जान दोलखाको सदरमुकाम चरिकोटबाट करिब ४ किमी उत्तरतर्फ  लाग्नुपर्दछ । यो मन्दिरसम्म जान यातायातको राम्रो सुविधा छ र मन्दिरसम्म नै पक्की मोटर जाने बाटो छ । अहिले सबै ठाउँमा ठुला बजारहरू देख्न सकिन्छ तर पनि आम जनमानसमा दोलखा भन्ने बित्तिकै दोलखा बजारको याद आउँछ र यसको प्रमुख कारण त्यहाँ अवस्थित दोलखा भीमसेन हो । दोलखा भीमसेन मन्दिर परिसर नजिकबाट रोल्वालिङ हिमशृङ्खलासहित गौरीशङ्कर हिमालका दुई चुचुरा प्रस्टैसँग देख्न सकिन्छ । कोशीको मुख्य नदी  तामाकोशी पनि यहाँबाट नागबेलीझैंँ  दक्षिणतिर महाभारत पर्वत शृङ्खला छिचोल्दै बगिरहेको देख्न सकिन्छ । यहाँका स्थानीय बासिन्दाका अनुसार यो मन्दिर पाँच पाण्डवमध्येका दोस्रो भाइ भीमसेनले बर्षौसम्म तपस्या गरेर बसेको ठाउँ हो । यो मन्दिरमा धेरै पर्यटकहरू आउँछन्, अझ दशैँको बेला त खुट्टा टेक्ने ठाउँ पनि हुँदैन । खास गरी नेवार समुदायले अत्यन्तै मान्ने  र दर्शन गर्न आउने गर्छन् । यो मन्दिरको बारेमा मैले बच्चैदेखि मेरो हजुरआमाको मुखबाट सुन्दै आएको किंवदन्ती छ । उहाले भनेअनुसार धेरै पहिले भरियाहरू यो ठाउँमा थकाई मार्न बिश्राम गरेका थिए रे । त्यहाँ आगो बालेर खाना पकाउन चुलोको लागि  तिनीहरूले तीनओटा ढुङ्गा ल्याएछन् रे । तर एउटा ढुङ्गा चाहिँ जति गरे पनि सिधा भएनछ  । धेरै प्रयास गरेर पनि त्यो ढुङ्गा नअडिएपछि एक भरियाले त्यस ढुङ्गालाई भात पकाउने पन्युले हान्न खोजेछ । हान्दा खेर त्यो ढुङ्गाबाट रगत निस्केछ । पछि त्यो भरियाले क्षमा मागी त्यस दिनदेखि सो ढुङ्गालाई भगवानको रूपमा पुजा गर्न सुरु गरिएको थियो । त्यही तिनकुने आकारको ढुङ्गालाई हामीले अहिले भीमसेनको रूपमा पूजा गर्छौँ । यो मन्दिरको अर्को विशेषता भनेको यहाँ मन्दिरलाई कुनैपनि छाना र गजुरले ढाकिएको छैन । यहाँ एउटा नगडा भन्ने बाजा पनि छ जुन केटी मान्छेले छुन हुँदैन र विशेष अवसरमा मात्र पुरुषहरूले बजाउँछन् । यो मन्दिरमा बालाचतुर्दशीको दिन ठुलो मेला लाग्छ । त्यस्तै, नवरात्रीमा यहाँ विशेष पूजा हुन्छ र फूलपातीको  दिन  पञ्च बलि दिने चलन छ । 

 

 

यो मन्दिर रहस्यमय पनि छ । बेलाबेलामा मन्दिरभित्रको मूर्तिबाट पसिना झरिरहन्छ र त्यसरी पसिना आउनु भनेको देशमा कुनै नराम्रो घटना घट्ने सम्भावनाको सङ्केत हो भन्ने विश्वास गरिन्छ । वि.सं १९९० सालको महाभूकम्प, राजा त्रिभुवनको निधन, २०५८ दरबार हत्याकाण्ड, २०७२ सालको भूकम्प तथा २०७७ सालमा कोभिड्को महामारी आउनु पूर्व यो शिलामा पसिना आएको कुरा मैले पूर्वजबाट सुन्दै तथा देख्दै आएको हो । पसिना आएपछि क्षमापूजा गर्ने चलन छ । क्षमापूजाको दिन मानिसहरू टाढाटाढादेखि आएर रोइकराई गर्दै क्षमा पूजा गर्छन र पसिना सफा गरेको कपास मुख्य पूजारीले राष्ट्रप्रमुखकोमा लिएर आउने चलन छ ।

 

 

यो मन्दिरका धेरै गुणहरू भए पनि यस मन्दिरको एक विकृति छ । यो मन्दिरमा खसी, बोका, हाँस, कुखुरा आदिको बलि दिइन्छ । त्यसैले गर्दा यहाँ भुइँभरि रगत हुन्छ र मानिसहरू टेक्न पनि घिनाउँछन् । त्यसैले बलि दिने ठाउँ छुट्टै बनाउन आवश्यक छ । बलि दिने ठाउँ छुट्टै र पूजा गर्ने ठाउँ छुट्टै भए झन् राम्रो हुन्छ । त्यसो गर्नाले पर्यटक झन् बढ्ने सम्भावना देखिन्छ ।

- Eshaan Kumar Rajbhandari - 27 ... 15 February, 2024

When I ask what life is, some say life is characterized by the complex and organized systems of living organisms, exhibiting features such as growth, reproduction, metabolism, responsiveness to stimuli, and adaptation to the environment. Similarly, some say that life is a continuous process, like a never-ending journey, while others say that life is something that will end once its time has come.

 

Then I ask again, what does it mean to live if we are eventually going to die? Death is the contradicting term to life. It has a different meaning and is directly opposite to life. The point of living, even though we eventually die, is that once we have experienced every single aspect of life, we would not have any regrets when we die. Once you start to feel like you owe this life to yourself, even if you were to die right here and now, you won’t have any regrets. Life is something that cannot be explained with simple words, as there are infinite meanings to life that we cannot even predict or think of. 

 

I simply think that life is an infinite loop where one can never stop living of their own will. As I give a valid explanation for it. Some say that a person’s life ends when their time comes, but I think that people don’t simply die because they don’t want to live. I believe they die because of some particular reason, not just because of some lame old reason like old age. Because once people get old, they eventually die. That's what almost 99.9% of people in the whole world believe. But I cannot believe it, because if we put a person whose health records are good under very tight surveillance with the healthiest food and environment, then I think that a person could live up to 1000 years.

 

All the statements made above are from my point of view, and my experience of life, and based on what I have heard. Thus, the meaning of life and the meaning of living must be different for different people across the world, as we all know that the mindset and thinking of every single person in the world varies.
