कथावस्तु
उपन्यास पाल्पा जिल्लाको सदरमुकाम तानसेन नगरीको प्राकृतिक सुन्दरताको वर्णनबाट सुरु भएको छ । उपन्यास गुल्मीका शुभम र रामपुरकी सुहानाले आफ्नो पढाइ पूरा गर्दै गरेको समयमा माया साटासाट गरेको र त्यसपछिको उनीहरूको जीवनयात्रामा केन्द्रित  छ । उपन्यास पढ्दा लेखिकाले आफ्ना जीवनदर्शनका धारणालाई उपन्यासमा प्रस्तुत गर्न अनुमान लगाउन सकिन्छ । शुभम र सुहानाको माता पितालाई उनीहरूको प्रेम सम्बन्ध  थाहा भएपछि, उपन्यासमा जात, पातको पनि कुरा उठेकाे छ तर त्यसले उनीहरूको सम्बन्धमा कुनै बाधा आउँदैन । शुभमले काठमाडौँमा पढाइ पूरा गर्छ र सुहानाले कलेजमा पढाउन थाल्छे। कथामा सबै कुरा सही भएको त कसैलाई पनि मन पर्दैन होला, त्यसैले शुभमले अमेरिकाको भिसा पाएको कुराले कथावस्तुलाई चाखलाग्दो बनाउँछ । शुभम अमेरिका जान्छ र पढाइ पूरा गरेर, पैसा कमाएर सुहानासँग विवाह गर्न नेपाल फर्कन्छ। अन्तरजातीय विवाह गर्न नहुने भए पनि आआफ्ना मातापितालाई फकाएर, दुवै परिवारमा मेलमिलाप हुन्छ । विहेको तयारी गर्दा शुभम गाडी दुर्घटनामा परेपछि २ महिना अस्पतालमा बिताउनु परेपछि बिहेमा बाधा आउँछ। बिहेमा शुभमको दुर्घटनादेखि लिएर केल्ली ब्राउन भन्ने केटीले शुभामसँगको प्रेममा केही बाधा पुराउँछे । तर पनि बिहे सम्पन्न हुन्छ । 
केल्ली शुभमकी अमेरिका सँगै पढ्दाकी साथी हाे । ऊ एकाेहाेराे शुभमलाई मन पराउँथी । शुभम भने उसलाई साथीकाे रूपमा मात्र हेर्थ्याे । विवाहपछि केल्लीले शुभमलाई अमेरिकामा गोली हान्छे । तर शुभम बाँच्छ र सुहाना पनि अमेरिका आउँछे। सुहानाले अमेरिकामा एक संस्था खोलेर नेपाली भाषा अमेरिकामा बसाेबास गर्ने नेपालीलाई सिकाउँछिन् । उनीहरूकी एक छोरी जन्मिएपछि बुवा आमालाई अमेरिका बोलाउँछन् । जब केल्लीले दाेस्राे पटक शुभममाथि गोली चलाउँछे तब सुहानाले पुलिसलाई बोलाएर ज्यान बचाउँछे । सुहानाले नेपाली भाषा र संस्कृतिकाे जगेर्ना गर्ने उद्देश्य सफल हुन्छ ।

Mad Jack
- Remoon Gorkhali - 24004, Grad ... 11 February, 2022

John Malcolm Thorpe Fleming Churchill who would later be known as Mad jack who was a British officer who participated in World War 2 with a longbow, bagpipe and claymore. Later he would be called Fighting Jack Churchill or mad jack. He was known for the motto, “Any officer who goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed.” Churchill was born in Colombo, British Ceylon. He was known for loving to ride his motorbike. He also worked as a newspaper editor and an actor for some time. He was also known for how good he was with his longbow and how he placed second in the 1938 military piping competition at the Aldershot Tattoo. In 1939, he also represented Great Britain at the World Archery Championships in Oslo. After Germany attacked Poland John returned to the military and was sent to France in the British Expeditionary Force. He then went on to ambush a German patrol; he and his comrades ambushed the Germans after John pulled out his longbow. Later John volunteered for the newly formed Commandos. Churchill was second in command of the third Commando battalion in Operation Archery on 27 December 1941. After the raft opened he charged ahead of his men playing March of the Cameron Men on his bagpipe before throwing a grenade and charging head first into battle. He received the Military Cross and Bar For his actions at Dunkirk and Vagsoy. He later went on to fight against the Germans, alongside the American rangers. There were only 10 or so men together but they went and captured a whole camp of German soldiers.

There was one soldier who said that he had seen John riding his motorbike while using his longbow to attack the Germans. It is also said that when a German general asked his junior commanders about the casualties he said that most of them were injured or killed by arrows. Later John went on to marry and lived until he was 50 he also had a child but before he died he taught in different military schools to raise future generations. He also left a lot of crazy tails behind for us to hear about. He also had received a lot of battle scars on his body.

के शिक्षा निः शुल्क प्रदान गर्नुपर्छ ?
- Kriti Nepal - 24010, Grade X ... 10 February, 2022

व्यक्तिलाई शैक्षिक, सामाजिक, र राजनीतिक पेसामा बाँच्नको लागि शिक्षा एकदम महत्त्वपूर्ण हुन्छ । हाल शिक्षा आर्जन गर्न विश्वव्यापी रूपमा पैसा चाहिन्छ । याे पैसा नहुनेहरूका लागि अति चुनौतीको विषय हो । विश्वमा गरिबी वा भोकमरी जस्ता समस्याहरूका कारण धेरै मानिसलाई पढ्न गाह्रो भइरहेको छ । आजको समाजमा शिक्षाले हाम्रो संसारको विकासमा महत्त्वपूर्ण भूमिका खेल्छ । आजकाल विद्यार्थीहरूले अध्ययन गर्न  पैसाकै आवश्यकता पर्छ। हरेक विद्यार्थीसँग पैसा खर्च गरेर पढ्ने क्षमता हुदैन । हरेक विद्यार्थी र अभिभावकलाई आफूले चाहेको विद्यालयमा प्रवेश गर्न र अध्ययनलाई निरन्तरता दिन आर्थिक अवस्था राम्राे हुनुपर्छ । तर सबैको आर्थिक अवस्था एकै किसिमको नहुने हुँदा शिक्षा सबैका लागि समान कहीँ पनि छैन ।
नेपालमा पनि बेलबेलामाम शिक्षामा समानता हुनुपर्छ र शिक्षा निःशुल्क हुनुपर्छ भन्ने कुरा उठ्छ । तर यो कुरा अहिलेसम्म लागु हुन सकेके छैन । नेपालका सरकारी विद्यालयमा शिक्षा निःशुल्क भए पनि गुणस्तरीयता छैन भन्ने कुरा बेला बेलामा हामीले सुन्दै आइरहेका छौँ । आखिर गुणस्तरीय शिक्षा निजी विद्यालयमा मात्र भएका कारण धेरै अभिभावक आफ्नो शक्तिले भ्याए पनि नभ्याए पनि जबरजस्ती शुल्क तिरेर निजी विद्यालयमा आफ्ना छोराछोरीलाई पढाउन बाध्य छन्। यदि सरकारी विद्यालयमा आफूले चाहे जस्तो शिक्षा पाएको भए कुनै पनि अभिभावक निजी विद्यालय पठाउँदनथे होलान् । आफूले शुल्क तिर्न नसक्ने अभिभावक नचाहे पनि सरकारी विद्यालयमा पढाउन बाध्य छन् । यदि शिक्षा निःशुल्क हुने हो भने शिक्षामा समानता हुने थियो । सबै बालबालिकाले समान शिक्षा पाउने थिए । शिक्षा भनेको सबैका लागि आवश्यक छ भन्ने कुरा बुझेर हरेक देशमा राज्यले शिक्षा निःशुल्क गर्नुपर्छ।
नि:शुल्क शिक्षाले विद्यार्थीहरूलाई राम्रो गर्न प्रोत्साहित गर्छ । समाज पनि विकास हुन्छ। विद्यार्थीहरूलाई आफ्नो अध्ययन जारी राख्ने अवसर प्रदान गरी समाजले नतिजा सुधार गर्न ऊर्जा प्रदान गर्छ । कहिलेकाहीँ नि:शुल्क शिक्षाले विद्यार्थीहरूमा उल्टो नतिजा ल्याउन सक्छ । सबै कुरा सजिलो भएकाले विद्यार्थीहरूलाई आफ्नो विद्यालय र पढाइप्रति उनीहरू बेवास्ता गर्न पनि सक्छन् । नि:शुल्क शिक्षाले शिक्षाको गुणस्तर पनि खस्किन सक्छ ।  सरकारबाट प्राप्त हुने रकममा मात्र भर पर्ने भएकाले विद्यालय अगाडि बढ्न र प्रगति गर्छ भन्ने कुरा नहुन पनि सक्छ।

Has technology helped connect people or isolate them?
- Smriti Lama - 29043, Grade IX ... 10 February, 2022

In this generation, technology is present in the lives of every human being. Technology was introduced nearly two million years ago when stone tools were invented. Technology was upgraded time and again from telephones to iphones, stoves to ovens. Like this, technology has provided many benefits and also taught many things which we were unknown about. Due to which we are able to finish our work easily and faster. It has also saved the lives of many people around the world. It has also helped to build and strengthen the relationships. With dependence on technology, the answers cannot be as straightforward as it seems. So we have to look at both sides of the coin then draw a conclusion.

People nowadays are used to spending most of their time virtually. The people who spend most of their time in the virtual world have a different mindset. Like they want everything to be perfect as they saw on social media or somewhere else. The belief that they grow in themselves regarding perfect life, which leads them to live far from the real world. They expect everything to be perfect the way they see it in social media and movies. Students also spend most of the time inside their room only. They don’t really care about situations happening outside. They take excuses from online classes and play their video games or pc games etc. They’re slowly avoiding spending time with their friends and families too. They create their own life with their mobile phones or PC in that virtual space. These technologies somehow affected people these days. They just use their mobile phone all day nonstop, mainly children. Many parents are also used to spending their time on mobile phones using social media and all. They’re also getting addicted and forgetting their responsibilities.

Talking about how technology connects people. Technology means not only where we can find the words' meaning and recipe or how we can solve our problems faster and easier. But it is also where we can interact with different people around the world. We can build our relationship with other people with the help of various social media. Likewise, technology helps us in many ways. It helps us to stay connected with our relatives and friends during the pandemic. And the big thing about technology is even when we were far from our relatives and friends, social media helped us to interact with them. During the pandemic, our schools were all closed and because of technology we were able to study and run the online classes. We didn’t know how to attend the online classes and how to submit our assignments but technology taught us how to. We were taught how to use docs, classroom, gmail, etc. We get to learn many things which we were unknown about and that was only because of technology. Technology made our lives easier and it was entertaining as well.

जीवन
- Sarjan Waiba Tamang - 24009, ... 09 February, 2022

म आकाशमा उड्ने पक्षी हुँ,
पिन्जडामा बस्ने कैदी होइन,
जीवनको यात्रा समयसँगै बढछ
समयसँगै ढल्न सिक्नु पर्दछ।

मेराे जीवन त्रासले भरिएको थिएन,
बस् समयको प्रवाहसँगै हिँडिएन,
संसार क्रुर र स्वार्थी रैछ,
संसाार पनि अन्त्यमा त नासिनेछ,
अन्त्यमा सबै नष्ट हुनेनै छ
विधिको विधान कसैले बुझ्न सकेन ।

जीवन श्रापकाे होइन बरदानकाे हो,
तिमी एउटा उद्देश्यका लागि छौ,
असल जिन्दगी पाउन गारो छ,
बाचुञ्जेल सबैलाई भाैतिक शरीर प्याराे छ।

समस्या र पश्चातापलाई केही क्षणका लागि भुल्नुहोस्,
खुशी र हर्षले भरिएको जीवनलाई खुलेर जिउनुहोस्,
यो संसारको नियम बुझ्ने प्रयास गर्नुहाेस्,
संसारकाे क्रुरताले जीवनको अन्त्य कसरी गर्छ हेर्नुहाेस्।

आखिरमा यो संसारबाट हराउनु नै पर्छ
यो संसारमा केही पनि काेही पनिअमर छैन,
मृत्युलाई साहसपूर्वक स्वीकार गर्नु
मृत्यु अन्त्य होइन,
जीवनको नयाँ सुरुवात हो।

हामी सम्झनामा रहनेछौँ,
शरीर मरेर कोही मर्दैन, 
आत्मा जीवित नै हुने छ, 
त्यसैले यस्तो जीवन जिउनुहोस्, 
जहाँ सबैले हजुरकाे कर्मलाई याद गरिरहून् ।
जहाँ सबैले हजुरकाे कर्मलाई याद गरिरहून् ।।

My Favourite Book: Number the Stars
- Muskan Singh - 24003, Grade X ... 09 February, 2022

I love too many books to pick a favorite, but I really enjoyed reading Lois Lowry's - Number the Stars. It is a novel of realistic historical fiction that was published in 1989. One of the reasons I like the book so much is because of its narrative – it uses a unique narrative to tell the story of the main characters, Annemarie Johansen and Ellen Rosen, and how they escaped from Nazis during World War II.

Lois Lowry wrote this book to let the people know about the struggle the Jews faced during the World War II to save themselves from the Nazis, for their survival. What was the reason behind treating those innocent Jews so badly and how they got back their country? In my opinion these were some of the main agendas to write the book. The novel is about a ten-year-old girl who lives in Copenhagen, Denmark, during the Nazi invasion. Annemarie Johansen's world is turned upside down when her neighbors vanish, food rationing begins, and Nazi soldiers emerge around every corner. When the invasion in her neighborhood progresses and becomes more serious, Annemarie realizes that the war is affecting her far more than she had ever imagined. Annemarie learns that when the world around her needs to be improved, bravery is always rewarded, whatever of age, when her best friend's family, the Rosens, is forced to separate for their own protection.

Annemarie appears to be used to and accepting of the Nazi soldiers on every corner. By the end of the story, she had realized that something needed to change, and she was willing to help in any way she could. This included putting her life in danger. The Holocaust is an inherently harrowing subject. This book, on the other hand, manages to bring a ray of light into that dark time: it's fictionalized, but it focuses on the real-life rescue of nearly the entire Jewish population of Denmark, smuggled to safety in Sweden by the Danish Resistance. It is still a story that confronts human evil head on; incidents large and small drive home to the reader the ugliness of the Nazis' treatment of both Jews and Danish Gentiles. Even if readers have already read the jacket, Lowry creates a palpable atmosphere of gripping tension and danger. But, in the end, this is a story about the triumph of the human spirit and decency.

The author's messages in this novel are about tolerance of differences, cross-cultural and inter-religious friendship, and the obligation of "ordinary" people to find the stuff to be heroes and heroines when circumstances call for it –lived out here in the object lesson; especially, of a small girl who is believably called upon to face enormous danger, in the face of her own fear. The plot is superbly crafted. This is an engrossing and moving novel that fully deserves the Newbery Medal. Lowry has won the prestigious Newbery Award twice, once for this book. She's writing about events that happened in her lifetime, but because she's going back to when she was an even younger child than Annemarie here, and lived through World War II in the United States rather than Denmark, she didn't grow up knowing the background of this book, and had to research it as much as she would for a historical fiction novel. The afterword explains how she became inspired to write this book, as well as which parts of it are true.

The books, in my opinion, are fantastic, a bundle of pages with a cover on top, packed with substance that stimulates the human imagination and allows us to escape from the stresses of everyday life. They're good for your health as well. If you don't enjoy reading books, try a variety of genres until you find something that appeals to you. It doesn't have to be a book; an article or a blog post can work just as well.

चारवर्ष पछिको मेरो गाउँको यात्रा
- Niharika Chapagain - 25006, G ... 08 February, 2022

काठमाडाैँ आएकाे करिब चार वर्षपछि म मेरो जन्मस्थल जाँदै थिएँ । काठमाडौँ आएपछि म पहिलाे पटक मेराे गाउँको घर हेर्न झापा गएकी थिएँ । झापा छिट्टै पुग्ने अभिप्राय लिएर हामी बिहान ३०० बजेतिर घरबाट हिँड्‌यौ । हामी आफ्नै साधनमा म, बाबा, आमा र दाइ भएर झापाका लागि प्रस्थान गर्‍यौँ । भक्तपुरको बाटो धुलिखेल हुँदै हामी सिन्धुली बर्दिबास पुग्‍यौँ । बिहानको ताजा सिरसिर हावामा रमाउँदै जाँदा मन प्रफुल्लित थियो।
करिब ६ :०० बजेतिर हामी सुनकोशी किनार हुँदै अघि बढ्यौँ । गाडीको झ्याल खोलेर ताजा हावा लिँदै आफ्नो गन्तव्यमा तल्लिन थियौँ । सिन्धुली पुगेपछि हामीलाई नयाँ बाटो र नयाँ ठाउँ भ्रमण गर्न मन लाग्यो । त्यसैले हामी भिमान भएर गाईघाटको बाटोतर्फ लाग्यौँ । गाईघाट जाने बाटो सुन्दर रहेछ । प्रत्यक्ष रूपमा नभए पनि खोलामा बगेको कलकल सफा कञ्चन पानीले हाम्रो तन मनलाई शीतलता दिएको अनुभव गर्थ्यौं । त्यसैमा हरियो वन र त्यहाँको खेती बालीले हाम्रो मनलाई मोहित बनाएको थियो ।
सानाठुला नदीखाेला हुँदै विभिन्न बोटविरुवा हेर्दै आफूलाई थाह भएसम्मका कुरा बाबाले हामीलाई बताइदिनु हुन्थ्यो । काठमाडौँमा बसे पनि गाउँको माया र पहाडी बाटोको मायाँ मनभरि साँचीएको रहेछ । हुनतः प्रकृतिमा नरमाउने मानिस सायद कमै होलान् । त्यसै मध्येकी म पनि एक थिएँ । मलाई पनि ससाना खोला देखेर खोलामा पसेर खोलासँग केही क्षण खेल्न मन लाग्यो । बाबा आमालाई पनि आफ्नो बालापनको याद आएछ । गाडीबाट झरेर जुत्ता खोलेर हामी खोलामा पस्यौँ । खोलाको चिसो पानीले मेरो शरीरमा काँडा उठाइदिए । बाहिरबाट सानो देखिए पनि खोलमा गएपछि गहिरो देखेर म छक्क परेँ । सानै भए पनि खोलामा पानीको दबाब बढी नै थियो । त्यसैले हामी धेरै भित्र गएनौँ । त्यो अनुभव अहिले सम्झिँदा मन खुसीले फुरुङ हुन्छ । यस्तै आनन्द लिँदै हामी बिस्तारै पहाडको दृश्यमा रमाउँदै हामी मेरो प्याराे गाउँ झापा दमक पुग्‍यौँ ।

Curiosity
- Jiya Sapkota - 25003, Grade I ... 08 February, 2022

Often people misunderstand curiosity as an eagerness to know things, but it is a good trait that someone can have. Of course, not in a huge amount but in such an amount that it wouldn't cause any problem to anyone or anything. Not having curiosity at all can cause a lot of trouble because it wouldn't help us to choose a path right away and we would have to brainstorm every single second.

Curiosity makes us think about something in such a way that we would even be able to know about something’s pros and cons. It would even help us know about something with much information. If someone is dealing with a confusion regarding what they truly like, then they shouldn't be wasting their time saying that they have nothing to do or nothing they like. They should be going around playing with their mind, using search engines to find a hobby. And finding a new term will easily help to raise the curiosity inside them and they will try to know about it as much as they can. Mocking someone saying, “curious child” isn't something moral to do because the child you mock might know much more things than  you do. You call them curious for a reason. Curious mind can even turn a normal boring world into an imagination. You know, they see something and they begin to think why they are the way they are. They start to object and question their existence and that's what makes them geniuses. And my main point is, if our ancestors weren't curious enough then we wouldn't be living in the state we are right now. If they were not updating their life and using their curious minds we wouldn't go from living in huts to living in apartments. A person might be needing advice and they wouldn't know about it, and they will seek advice from someone else and hearing them would make them curious about a topic and will now be eager to know about a lot. Being curious is beneficial for a company or an organization too. For example, you have to promote your business and you upload a video on youtube; you title it as “a good day in my office” and end up getting no likes and views. But if you keep the same video with a thumbnail and caption “How I almost lost my job” that could somehow attract viewers, it is technically a clickbait. You will get a lot of views. Because you know, seeing something like that would often make a curious mind force to click on it and know about it. And that sort of thing will make people curious.

“Surprising benefits of curiosity”, the benefits of curiosity are not surprising. Curiosity is one of the best traits a person can have. Although, curiosity could make someone anxious. It still helps an anxious person to gain the satisfaction after getting the information they were looking for.

सूचना विस्तार र आजको विश्व
- Sunabi Pokhrel - 25018, Grade ... 07 February, 2022

अहिले र पहिलेको समाजमा थुप्रै भिन्नताहरू देख्न सकिन्छ । समयको माग अनुसार संसारमा थुप्रै कुराहरू परिवर्तन हुँदै गइरहेका छन्। पहिले पहिले सूचना परेवा काग कुकुर लगायत अन्य जनावरहरूका आवाजका आधारमा सूचना अनुमान गर्ने गरिन्थ्यो । यस्ता पशुपन्छीका आवाजमा सूचना अनुमान गर्ने चलनपछि बिस्तारै हुलाकी सेवाको सुरुवात भयो र चिठी पठाउने चलनको सुरुवात भयो ।
सूचना र सञ्चारले फड्को मार्दै जाँदा अहिले चिठी लेखेर सूचना तथा समाचार सम्प्रेषण गर्ने चलन पनि हराउँदै गयो । हाल टेलिफोन रेडियो टेलिभिजन ताररहित टेलिभिजन फ्याक्स कम्प्युटर लगायतका अन्य सञ्चारका साधनहरुको आविष्कार भइसकेका छन् । यी आविष्कारहरूको उपयोग गरी मानिसले घरमै बसी बसी विश्वका घटना परिघटना थाह पाउन थालेका छन्। संसारका जुनसुकै कुना कुनामा भएका मानिसहरूसँग सजिलै कुराकानी गर्न सक्छन् । अहिले त मानिसहरू अन्तरिक्षमा समेत पुगिसकेको अवस्था छ । भू उपग्रहबाट सूचना सङ्कलन बिस्तार गर्न सफल भएका छन् । अहिलेको इन्टरनेट प्रविधि र त्यसभित्रका विभिन्न सामाजिक सञ्जाल प्रायः जसो सबै मानिसहरूले चलाउने गर्छन् । हाल छपाइ र मुद्रणमा पनि नयाँ नयाँ प्रविधिको विकाश भएको छ । आजको बढ्दो सूचना विस्तारले विश्वलाई नै साँघुरो बनाइदिएको छ । सामाजिक सञ्जालहरूको प्रयोगले विश्वभरका जुनसुकै कुनाका मानिसलाई साथी बनाउन सकिन्छ । आफ्ना भावनाहरू आदान प्रदान गर्न आफ्ना विचार वा घटनाप्रति तत्काल प्रतिक्रिया व्यक्त गर्न र विश्वका थुप्रै प्रसिद्ध कृतिहरू सजिलै पढ्न सकिन्छ ।

प्रविधिले हामीलाई थुप्रै कुराहरू दिएको छ । प्रविधिकै कारण मानिस दिनानुदिन विकाशको गतिमा फड्को मार्दै गइरहेको छ । प्रविधिले मानिसलाई थुप्रै ज्ञान सिप पनि प्रदान गरेको छ । यति हुँदाहुँदै पनि केही नकारात्मक विचार भएका व्यक्ति तथा समूह प्रविधिको सदुपयोग भन्दा दुरुपयोग मा लाग्दा कतिपय व्यक्तिको जीवन बरबाद भएको कुरा पनि हामीले देखे सुनेका छौँ । अन्ततः प्रविधिको विकाश यस्तो अवस्थामा अभिशाप बन्ने कुरालाई भने नकार्न सकिन्न ।

What if the earth suddenly disappears?
- Nishan Shrestha - 25008, Grad ... 07 February, 2022

What happens if the earth disappears suddenly? What will happen to humankind? What will happen to the creatures existing on earth? It is quite a complex thing that our mind cannot think or imagine because it's the thing we never saw in real life except for some movies. If you try to think of it you might imagine a movie scene but you cannot imagine it happening in real life. It's because our brain cannot comprehend us not existing or disappearing. So, can the earth disappear? Answer to the question is yes. The earth can disappear in two ways either  by getting sucked by the black hole or being destroyed completely. There might be other ways the earth could disappear. There are many things in the universe which scientists have not discovered yet or have knowledge about. Who knows there can be a creature that eats planets in the universe. What will happen to humankind or the creatures existing on earth? As our brain cannot imagine it there is no answer to this question, but it's somehow an obvious answer; if the earth disappeared there is no way we can survive, but the answer does not apply to creatures like insects. According to the scientists, cockroaches would be the last to survive on the earth who knows they could survive in space. There is no sure answer to this topic but it is sure that humankind will completely disappear and who knows a new planet might form instead of the earth and some creatures might start living on it like we humans are living from billions of years.

खानाको महत्त्व
- Angel Dhimal - 25015, Grade I ... 04 February, 2022

प्रतीक सहरिया परिवेशमा हुर्केको सम्पन्न परिवारको बाबुआमाको एक्लो छोरा थियो । घरकाे काममा पनि खासै ध्यान दिदैँनथ्यो । जनतन सबै साथीजस्तै विद्यालय जान्थ्यो । विद्यालयमा गएपछि उसको ध्यान पढ्नभन्दा खाने कुरामा हुन्थ्यो । सबै मानिसमा केही राम्रा र केही नराम्रा बानी भए जस्तै प्रतीककाे पनि एउटा नराम्रो बानी थियो । ऊ सधैँ खाना खेर फाल्ने गर्दथ्यो । घरमा बनाएको खानेकुराको सट्टा जङ्क फुड र स्ट्रीट फुडजस्ता अस्वस्थकर खानेकुरामा बढी ध्यान दिन्थ्याे । आमाले सधैँ उसलाई घरको खाजा बनाइदिनुहुन्थ्यो तर ऊ स्कुलको क्यान्टिनबाट खाजा खान चाहन्थ्याे । घरबाट आमाले पठाएको टिफिन फाल्ने गर्थ्याे ।  घरकाे टिफिन फाल्ने र जङ्क फुड खाने उनको दैनिकी नै थियो । घरको खानाकाे महत्त्व उसलाई थाह नै थिएन । आफ्नाे घरमा अन्न प्रशस्त हुन्थ्याे । घरमा धेरै खाने कुरा हुन्थे । आमा घर बाहिरकाे खाने कुरा छाेराले नखाओस् भन्ने चाहन्थिन् । तर प्रतीक भने यसकाे ठिक विपरीत थियाे ।
एक दिन प्रतीक र उसका केही साथीहरू एउटा कार्यक्रमको लागि आफ्नाे गाउँबाट अर्काे टाढाकाे गाउँमा गए । त्यहाँ प्रतीकले धेरै मानिसहरूले खान नपाएकाे देख्याे । तिनीहरूसँग खानेकुरा थिएन। । उसले केटाकेटीहरू खानाको लागि यता-उता हात थाप्दै हिँडेकाे देख्याे प्रतीकलाई बालबालिकाहरू त्यसरी पेट भर्नकाे लागि हात थाप्दै हिँडेकाे देखेर सारै दया लाग्याे । त्यसपछि उसले आफूले खाने कुरा फालेकाे सम्झिन थाल्याे । आफूले फालेकाे खाने कुराले धेरै भाेका मानिसकाे पेट भरिने कुरा उसले सम्झन थाल्याे । उसले अब खाने कुरा कहिल्यै नफाल्ने मनमनै साेच्याे । खानाविना मानिस बाँच्न नसक्ने कुरा उसले आज बल्ल बुझ्याे । 
प्रतीक त्यस गाउँबाट फर्किएपछि उसले आफ्ना साथीहरूलाई पनि खानाको महत्त्व बुझाउन थाल्यो । उसले आफूले पनि कहिल्यै खाना खेर फालेन । अब विद्यालयमा घरबाट लगेको खाजा खान थाल्यो । कक्षामा एक जना शिक्षकले घरायसी खानाका फाइदाबारे पढाउनुभयो । त्यसबाट झनै ऊ प्रभावित भयो । प्रतीकले यो कुरा घरमा गएर आमालाई पनि भन्यो । आफ्नी आमा छोराको कुरा सुनेर निकै खुसी भइन् । प्रतीकले सॉझ बिहान घरमा खाना खाँदा एक गाँस पनि खाना खेर फाल्न छोड्‌यो । यो कुरा उसले चिनेजानेका सबै मानिसलाई बुझाउन थाल्यो । प्रतीककी आमा आफ्नो छोराले खानाको महत्त्व बुझेकाले निकै खुसी थिइन्।

Should you prioritize yourself?
- Bipana Shrestha - 24002, Grad ... 04 February, 2022

Nowadays there are only a few people in this world who prioritize themselves before others. People call those kinds of people “selfish”. But is it really selfish to prioritize overselves over others? I don't think selfish is the right word. I have seen people who value others over themselves. People worry more about others' opinions. They are worried about people's opinions over their happiness. What I feel is we should always keep ourselves first no matter what the situation is or who the person is. The time you start thinking about people's opinions towards you, you start overthinking, you start living the life for others, you feel disturbed and don't feel like yourself at all. Before thinking for others just take out time for yourself. 
Sometimes you just feel like nothing is working out the way you wanted. Sometimes it's just all messed up because you never know what turn life can take at any time. Life is never as we expect it to be. We meet new people and experience new things. Sometimes we feel insecure or feel like we are not good enough or that other people are more good or appealing than us. But you should always remind yourself that everyone is built differently, your goal and happiness are what matters in life. You should give time to yourself and try living a healthy life. You should start building up yourself and focus on yourself. Don't let the expectations of others keep you away from happiness and the things you have always wanted to do in life. Prioritizing yourself can help you realize that you need to let go of other people's expectations. This is your life, and you must enjoy every moment of it. You should always focus on your goals and the things that will help you live a better life. The day you start prioritizing yourself over others, what others say about you or their opinion about you does not matter to you anymore and you just start loving yourself the way you are. You just give it your all no matter what you do. Just give it your best. Just do what makes you happy. Trust yourselves and do what you want to do because you are the only one who knows yourself the best. Try to grab the opportunities and take challenges. 
If you have a certain goal and you run towards achieving that goal I think you will definitely succeed one day. It's just all about effort. If you have an interest in something then just go for it and give it a shot because you never know what turning point it can take in your life. I have always heard people saying life is way too short but I think life is a lot longer. You should try different things and if it does not feel like it's right for you you can try something different. You just have to be brave. Even if you fail it does not matter because at least you tried and gave your best.
