भगवान्
- Sunabi Pokhrel - 25018, Grade ... 04 July, 2021

हामी हिन्दु, इसाइ, सिख, बौद्ध जुनसुकै धर्म धारण  गरे पनि हामी सबैको साझा धारणा भनेको 'भगवानलाई पछ्याउनु' हो । तर खासमा भगवान् भनेको के हो र को हो ? के भगवान् साँच्चिकै हुनुहुन्छ ? भगवान्लाई सर्वोच्च रूप मानिन्छ । कसैलाई पनि थाहा छैन कि ईश्वर हुनुहुन्छ कि हुनुहुन्न, ईश्वरको अस्तित्व छ कि छैन ? वास्तविक कुराे के भने कसैले पनि ईश्वरलाई अहिलेसम्म देखेको छैन । 
सामान्य व्यक्तिले आफ्नै आँखाले प्रत्क्षयरूपमा भगवान देख्नु भनेको केवल कल्पना मात्र हो । सत्य कुरा के हो भने भगवान् सबै ठाउँमा हुनुहुन्छ । भगवान्लाई हामीले आफ्नाे आँखाले नदेखेकाले भगवान् केही पनि र काेही पनि होइन जस्तो लाग्छ । वास्तविक कुरा के हो भने भगवान् भनेको संसारकाे अदृश्य शक्ति हाे । भगवान् यस ब्रम्हाण्डमा अदृश्यरूपमा सर्वव्यापी हुनुहुन्छ । भगवान् सम्पूर्ण प्राणीहरूकाे सर्वोच्च अदृश्य आत्मा हुनुहुन्छ, अनन्त हुनुहुन्छ र अमूर्त हुनुहुन्छ । संसारका हरेक तत्व भगवान्कै कारण अस्तित्वमा छन् । याे संसारमा जे कुरा भइरहेकाे छ त्याे सबै भगवान्कै चाहाना र इच्छाले भइरहेको हुन्छ । भगवान् असीमित हुनुहुन्छ । भगवान सबै ठाउँमा ज्ञान र अनन्त शक्तिसँग अवस्थित हुनुहुन्छ । भगवान् निर्गुण निराकार हुनुहुन्छ । भगवान्काे संरक्षणमा नै याे संसारकाे जीवनचक्र चलिरहेकाे छ । संसारकाे सृष्टि र संहार पनि भगवान्कै इच्छानुसार नै हुन्छ ।

अहिलेकाे भाैतिक दुनियामा ईश्वरकाे अस्तित्व स्वीकार गर्ने मानिस कमै हाेलान् । जे भए पनि अहिले भाैतिक विज्ञानले गरेकाे उन्नति पनि ईश्वरकै कारण सम्भव भएकाे हाे । अझ भनाैँ भने ईश्वरविना विज्ञानकाे उन्नति नै असम्भव छ । ईश्वर यस संसारको हरेक कुराकाे ऊर्जा हो । त्यही ऊर्जाको कारण नै यस ब्रम्हाण्डको गति अविराम चलिरहेको छ ।

The Woojin Scandal
- Anushka Basnet - 24001, Grade ... 04 July, 2021

Kim Woojin is a former member of the boy group "Stray Kids''. He left back in 2019. He joined a new entertainment company named "10x entertainment". He was preparing for his solo debut and everything was going well until some people started creating false rumors about him. This started back in March of 2020. Random person on the internet claimed to have seen Woojin in a bar. People accused Woojin for being a sex offender. They even accused him of bullying the Straykids member while he was a member. People were really hating Woojin, so much that they even accused 10x of being a fake company. People were too blinded by hate, they started accusing Woojin of ridiculous crimes that he never committed. Having a whole bunch of people saying you assaulted a woman, bullied your ex-group members, your company is fake, is not something anyone would want to experience. Getting death threats everyday even though you did nothing wrong is unfair but Woojin and the company could do nothing about it.
10x proved all the allegations false and because they did it really fast people started saying they made it up. People turned blind eye even to the proof shown to the public. That is both dumb and violent. 
Many people turned their back on Woojin. This was not what was planned. People bullied Woojin everyday on the internet. A sasaeng even exposed Woojin's number to the public. His social media was blocked for months. All this because of some rumors the whole world believed. People started giving him death threats. He was the oldest member on StrayKids and didn't speak much but that doesn't mean he bullied the other members. If that was the case, he would have been blacklisted from the kpop world forever. He was accused of sexually offending women. But there was no proof. 10x had to prove the world that they were a real company by posting their legal documents online, they had to prove Woojin innocent. And they did. Every accusation was proven false. But still people were not satisfied. They wanted to bully Woojin and the company so badly that they turned blind eye to all the proof shown online. 
Imagine you are about to debut and are practicing day and night but then random people on the internet start accusing you of things you never even did. Recently 10x even released a documentary on the whole scandal but then people started saying the company used the accusations as an aesthetic. 
People really know no limits. 
Even till now there are so many people bullying Woojin. Bullying someone, giving them death threats, spreading false and malicious rumors are not done for fun. These need to stop. Starting a whole hate movement just because of some mere rumor is not how a person is supposed to behave like. Having people hating you is way more hurtful than it sounds. Woojin and the whole company has suffered a lot because of this and people should apologize even though apologizing would do nothing good but pleading guilty is always appreciated

My visit to Pokhara
- Bipana Shrestha - 24002, Grad ... 01 July, 2021

Pokhara is one of Nepal's most visited tourist spots. Pokhara valley attracts many tourists who come to witness the Himalayan range and lakes. Boating, trekking, rafting, and extreme activities, including rafting, canoeing, and bungee jumping, are popular in Pokhara. It is well-known for its peaceful environment and beautiful surroundings. My family and I had decided to go to Pokhara for a vacation. It takes a minimum of 7 hours of time from Kathmandu to reach Pokhara. At around 8:00 a.m we departed from Kathmandu. We stopped for lunch on our route to Pokhara, which is a nice place to visit. We drove for about 3 hours further and arrived in Pokhara just as the sun was setting. A mesmerizing, breath-taking view of the Himalayas surprised us. And then We took a cab and went directly to our hotel where we had made a reservation. 
I was really shocked to see the clean and green sort of environment in Pokhara because I did not expect that at all. Compared to Kathmandu, Pokhara was really clean and the environment was super calm. It was really amazing. That very night we went to the Lakeside area for dinner. The next day we went to Fewa lake. We visited the Barahi temple. We also went boating. I was very excited yet nervous at the same time because it was my first time boating. I clicked some pictures. After some time we again went back to the hotel and then after having lunch we all went to visit Davis Fall. Davis Falls is a small underground waterfall that runs through Pokhara.  As the massive fall makes its way through the rocks and stones of the ground, this place is rich in natural and photographic beauty. There is even a story for its name Davis fall. When a Swiss couple named Davi was swimming in the area, the woman drowned in the fall's sinkhole. Following Davi's request, the villagers called the fall Davis fall after finding her body after three days of tracking it. We also visited Gupteshwor Mahadev cave. Inside it was very dark. I also saw many small statues and shrines. Then I also saw the main Shiva’s temple. Taking pictures there was prohibited. We could also hear the waterfall. 
Another day we woke up early and went to visit Sarangkot. It was such a beautiful view. From up close, the Annapurna range was breathtaking. We also went to a paragliding spot. Everything was so beautiful. I was really happy. Then we returned to the hotel and after taking some rest we went to the lakeside again at night. It was really fun. We clicked some pictures and also ate dinner there and then the next day we went back to Kathmandu. It was such a wonderful journey. I will never forget the memories that I made while I was there. My family was also very happy that we got to spend such a great time together in Pokhara. It was such a great place.

रहस्यमय साथी भागः २
- Niharika Chapagain - 25006, G ... 01 July, 2021

“तिमी यहाँ एक्लै थियौ; एक्लै बोलिरहेकी थियौ ;चुप लागेर घर हिँड।” लक्ष्मीले कराउँदै भनी र कायराले आफ्नी आमालाई पहिलो पटक यस्तो रिसाएको देखेकी थिई त्यसैले ऊ झन् धेरै रुन थाली । कायराको हात समातेर लक्ष्मी घरतिर हिँडी। घर पुगेपछि कायराले आफ्नो कोठामा गएर ढोका लगाएर बसी । लक्ष्मीले दिनभरिकाे सबै कुरा आदित्यलाई सुनाउन उसकाे प्रतीक्षा गरिरहेकी थिई । आदित्य आएपछि उसलाई सबै कुरा सुनाई । “केही छैन तिमी धेरै चिन्ता न लिऊ । सानो बच्चा हो आफैँसँग कुरा गर्नु के ठुलो कुरो हो र ।” आदित्यले लक्ष्मीकाे कुरालाई खासै वास्ता गरेन । तर लक्ष्मीलाई भने कायरालाई केही नराम्रो रोग लागेको जस्तो लाग्यो । उसलाई आदित्यले गरेकाे कुरा राम्राे लागेन । आदित्यले कायरालाई मानसिक अस्पताल लैजान्छ कि जस्ताे लागेकाे थियाे तर त्यस्ताे केही भएन । त्यो दिनदेखि कायरालाई लक्ष्मीले नदीको किनारमा जान दिइन । एक दिन कायराले उसकी साथी उसलाई भेट्न घरमा आएको कुरा बताई।

“उसले तिमीलाई के भनी ?” लक्ष्मीले प्रश्न गरी। 

“ऊ धेरै रिसाकी थिई मामु । तपाईँलाई मार्छु भन्दै थिई । मैले उसलाई त्यसो नगर्नु भनेर सम्झाएँ । मलाई धेरै डर लागकाे छ, मामु । ऊ मेरी साथी जस्ती छैन ।” कायराले रुँदै त्यति भनिसकेपछि लक्ष्मीले उसलाई अङ्कमाल गर्दै “केही हुँदैन, चिन्ता नगर” भनी। त्यसपछि लक्ष्मी हतारिएर आदित्यको कोठामा गई र आत्तिदैँ भन्न थाली,

तिमीलाई के भएको ? अचेल तिमी मेरो कुरा सुन्दै सुन्दैनौ। तिमीलाई थाहा छ ? कायराको साथीले मलाई मार्छु भनेको रे। उसलाई पागल बनाउन मन छ तिमीलाई ? डाक्टरकहाँ लैजानुपर्‍यो ।” लक्ष्मी कराउँदै रुन थाली । 
“केही हुँदैन लक्ष्मी एक दुई दिन पर्ख, सबै ठिक हुन्छ ।” आदित्यले लक्ष्मीलाई शान्त बनाउने कोसिस गर्‍यो ।

“तिमीलाई सहर पनि जान मन छैन, उसलाई डाक्टरकहाँ लैजान पनि मन छैन । लक्ष्मी चिच्याउन थाली। 
“होइन, हामी उसलाई डाक्टरकहाँ लैजान सक्दैनौँ किनभने….” आदित्यलाई के भन्ने थाहा थिएन । 
“किनभने... किन ? तिमी हाम्रो बच्चालाई माया गर्दैनौ ? तिमी उसलाई मन पराउँदैनौ।” 

आदित्य यस्ताे सुन्ने बित्तिकै केही बाेल्न नसक्ने भयाे । “चुप लाग । ऊ मेरी पनि छोरी हो, म कसरी उसलाई माया नगर्नु ? म उसलाई अस्पताल लैजान सक्दिनँ… किनभने… ऊ… हाम्री स्विटी यस संसारमा छैन । ऊ… ऊ…! जब हामी यहाँ सरेका थियौँ । तिमी उसलाई लिएर डुङ्गामा चढ्याै । त्यो डुङ्गा पल्टियो । तिमी र… कायरा नदीमा डुब्यौ। तिमी त बच्यौ तर ऊ…” आदित्य सुरुमा रिसले रातो भएको थियो तर, बोल्दै गएपछि छोरीको यादमा ऊ रुन थाल्यो। 
लक्ष्मी आश्चर्यचकित भई र आदित्यकाे कुरा पत्याउन सकिन । आदित्यले रुँदै भन्न थाल्याे । “त्यसपछि… हाम्री छोरी बाँच्न सकिन भन्ने कुरा तिमी बुझ्न तयार थिइनौ…।  तिमी ऊ जीवित छे भनेर ऊसँग खेलेझैँ गर्न थाल्यौ । तिमीले आफ्नै एक सपनाको दुनिया बनायौँ ;जहाँ हाम्री स्विटी, तिमी र म खुसी खुसी जीवन बिताइरहेका छौँ । यहाँबाट सहर जान तिमीले नमानेकी हाै ; मैले हाेइन । हामी घर सरे तिमी आफ्नो सपनाबाट बाहिर आउँथ्यौ। कायारा हामीबाट टाढिएको तिमीले थाह पाउँथ्यौ । तिमी कायरा बढेको हेर्दै आफ्नो सपनामा जिउन चाहन्थ्यौ… तर तिमीलाई के थाहा तिमीलाई त्यस्तो देख्दा मलाई कति पीडा हुन्थ्यो…” ऊ रोक्कियो र रुन थाल्यो। 
उसकी स्विटी मर्न सक्दिन, ऊ जीवित छे,यस्ता कुरा लक्ष्मीको मनमा आए। उसको जिउले उसलाई साथ दिएन र ऊ बेहोस भएर भुइँमा लडी ।

The Guest Parrot
- Sameep Krishu Maharjan - 2502 ... 30 June, 2021

It's the end of Baisakh, nature is really looking wonderful. I can see green grass, trees and the flowers  around my house. Some of the trees are very tall. They look like they are talking to the sky. Pine tree, guava tree, coconut tree, orange tree, parijaat tree, betel nut etc. Among them, the betel tree is my favourite. It does not mean that I like betel nuts. 

The months of Baisakh and Jestha are my favourite, even lightning and thundering make some kinds of fear inside me. This month ‘my favourite guest’ appeared without my invitation. The guest is the green parrots. The special tree that they came for is the betel tree. That is their favorite fruit. Most of them came in the morning as an alarm and woke me up with their voice. It looked like they were calling me with my name. Even though I was in a deep sleep, I was forced to wake up to the wonderful scenery. I could not stop myself from going outside and enjoying myself. I liked to click photos and  make videos as they inspire me to become a photographer. I sometimes sit quietly and watch them enjoying a sip of tea. Then sometimes I imagine, my whole family including grandparents, parents of the little parrots have come to enjoy the fruits.

This scenery continued for many years until a day came on which, including many trees the betel tree also cut down. Sadly my guest’s favourite betel tree is no more now. I was so sad that I won’t see them in the future. They won’t wake me up in the morning. They won’t inspire me to become a photographer anymore. I was thinking why people are so rude that they make such a decision that hampers others happiness. 

My guests from that day stopped coming. I always wait for them. But they never return. I always have a question to ask, why people think the whole planet is its property, why other creatures can not live happily and enjoy their life.

रहस्यमय साथी भागः १
- Niharika Chapagain - 25006, G ... 30 June, 2021

लक्ष्मी आफ्नी छोरी  कायरालाई घर फर्कन कुरिरहेकी थिई । आजकल कायरा नदी छेउँमा एक अज्ञात केटीसँग खेल्न थालेकी थिई । त्यो नदी उनीहरूको घरभन्दा धेरै टाढा थिएन । घर नजिकै भएकाले लक्ष्मीले आफ्नी छोरीलाई एक्लै खेल्न जान दिन्थी । उनीहरूको घर एक सानो जङ्गलको छेउँमा थियो । कायराको बुबा आदित्यको बाल्यकाल त्यही घरमा बितेको भएर उसलाई त्यो घर अत्यन्तै प्यारो थियो । त्यसैले होला सहर त्यो घरभन्दा टाढा भए तापनि उसले आफ्नो परिवारसँग त्यँही बस्ने निर्णय लिएको थियो । त्यो घर एक बङ्गला जस्तै बगैँचा, पिङ भएको थियो र घर एक गेट र भित्ताले चारैतिर घेरिएको थियो । घरको कौसीबाट जङ्गल र सूर्यास्तको सुन्दर दृश्य अवलोकन गर्न सकिन्थ्यो । जब तिनीहरू त्यो घरमा बस्न थालेका थिए कायरा एक वर्षकी थिई । 
कायराको जन्म भएपछि डाक्टरहरूले निराश हुँदै लक्ष्मीले अर्को बच्चा जन्माउन नमिल्ने कुरा बताएका थिए । आफ्नी एक्लौटी छोरी भएर होला, उनीहरूले उसको साह्रै राम्ररी हेरचाह गरेका थिए । जब कायरा पाँच वर्षकी भई उसलाई आफ्नै साथीहरू भए हुन्थ्यो जस्तो लाग्थ्यो । जति ठुली भई त्यति उसलाई एक्लोपनकाे महसुस भयाे । अभिभावक भए पनि साथीहरूको कमी भएकाे ऊ महसुस गर्थी। कहिलेकाँही आदित्यले उसलाई सहरको साथीको घर लग्थ्यो तर उसलाई दिन दिनै खेल्ने साथी चाहिएको थियो। कैयौँ पटक लक्ष्मीले आदित्यलाई कायराको निम्ति सहर नजिक घर किनेर बसौँ पनि भनेकी थिई तर आदित्यले त्यस कुरालाई ध्यान नै दिएको थिएन। अब कायरालाई एक्लै खेल्ने बानी भइसकेकाे थियाे । ऊ नदीको किनारमै समय बिताउन थाली । हरेक दिन ऊ नदीको किनारमा बिहानै जान्थी र साँझ परेपछि फर्कन्थी । 
एक दिन कायरा खुसी हुँदै घर आई र नदीको किनारमा एक साथी बनाएको कुरा लक्ष्मीलाई बताई । लक्ष्मीले त्यो कुरा पत्याउन सकिन र उसको साथीको बारेमा कायरालाई सोधी। कायराले उसको साथी कस्तो देखिन्छे, कसरी बोल्छे सबै कुरा भनेपछि नजिकैको कुनै गाउँबाट आएकी होली भनेर सोंच्छे । कायराका अनुसार उसकी साथी उसकै उमेरकी थिई र त्यो सुनेपछि त्यति सानी केटी कसरी गाउँबाट एक्लै आउँछे होला भनेर लक्ष्मीलाई चासो लाग्यो। उसले कायरालाई “तिमी आफ्नी साथीलाई एकदिन यहाँ बाेलाउन ”  भनी । तर कायराले भनिन् कि उसले ऊ बाहेक अरू कसैलाई  भेटे उसँग पनि नबाेल्ने बताएकी रहिछन्। 

त्यो सुनेपछि लक्ष्मीलाई त्यो अज्ञात साथीप्रति शङ्का लाग्यो र उसले त्यसबारे आदित्यलाई भनी तर आदित्यले यो कुरालाई ध्यान दिएन । त्यो दिन उसले कायरालाई मन पर्ने मिठाई बनाएर उसको साथीकबारे जान्ने विचार गरी र उसले कायरा घर फर्किने बित्तिकै गुलाब जामुन दिएर सोधिन्, 
“स्विटी, तिम्रो साथीलाई गुलाब जामुन मन पर्छ ?” 

“मन पर्छ मामु,” कायराले गुलाब जामुन खाँदै उत्तर दिई ।

“त्यसो भए आफ्नो साथीलाई पनि यो गुलाब जामुन लगिदेउ न त। दुवै जना सँगै बसेर खाऊ।” लक्ष्मीले आफ्नो हातमा भएको गुलाब जामुनले भरिएको डब्बा कायराको हातमा थमाइदिई। 
“हुन्छ मामु” कायरा खुसी हुँदै नदीको किनारतिर लागी । आफ्नी छोरीले नदेख्ने गरी छोरीको पछिपछि नदीको किनारमा पुगी । जब ऊ त्यहाँ पुगी तब ऊ आफ्नो अगाडिकाे दृश्य देखेर चकित परी। कायराबाहेक त्यहाँ कोही पनि थिएन । उसकी प्यारी छोरी किनारमा एक्लै बसेर आफैँसँग कुरा गर्दै हावालाई गुलाब जामुन खुवाइरहेकी थिई । त्यो दृश्यले उसलाई चकित र एकदमै भावनात्मक बनायो। ऊ हतार हतार आफ्नी छोरीको अगाडि गएर जाेड जाेडले कराउन थाली  “स्विटी, तिमी यहाँ एक्लै के गरिरहेकी ? ”  

लक्ष्मीको आवाज सुनेर कायरा झसङ्ग भई । हजुरले मेरो साथीलाई भगाइदिनुभयो भन्दै रुन  कराउन थाली।

My trip to Swayambhunath
- Anushka Basnet - 24001, Grade ... 29 June, 2021

We all have visited some places at some point of our life which were unforgettable. I too have visited many places but one certain place which i visited and will never forget is Swayambhunath Stupa. 
I have visited some places in Nepal and even though Swayambhunath is not very far from where I live, it sure was really memorable. I remember, my finals had just finished and there was not much to do and my mom suddenly planned to visit Swayambhunath. It was sudden but we all agreed and went to visit because it had been really long since we last visited the stupa. We got on the bus and off we went. My mom bought some toys for my brother that day which he lost on the same day. We clicked some photos of places which we thought were beautiful. The same day we went to visit Swayambhu was the same day the President of Nepal decided to visit the area. So obviously there was a crowd everywhere and we were not allowed to go to some places because the president was there. It felt a bit unfair but we said nothing and enjoyed the view. Everything was going well. We saw some monkeys and visited places I  never knew existed. It was  fun and I felt happy as it felt good to travel with my family. Until, I realized the phone which my sister and I used to share was not with us. It was lost. The phone was gone. That mobile phone was something I cherished the most at that  time but it got lost.. I had kept it in my bag but someone took it because there was so much crowd it was understandable for something to be lost but I could not accept it. The trip was memorable but it is a bad experience which I will never forget.

मेरो देश बिरामी
- Joya Shrestha - 15004, Grade ... 29 June, 2021

नेपाललाई शान्तिको देश भनिन्छ । नेपाल शान्तिको देश नै हाे त  ? बुद्धकाे नेपालमा जन्म भएर नेपाल शान्तिकाे देश हाे ? जहाँ जनताले शान्ति अनुभूति गर्न पाएका छैनन् त्यहाँ कसरी शान्ति हुन्छ  ?
शान्ति भनेको द्वन्द्व नभएको अवस्था हो । बाहिर देखिने शान्ति र प्रत्यक्षरूपमा अनुभूति गरिने शान्ति फरक हुन्छ । हामी बिरामी हुँदा हाम्रो आत्मा अशान्त हुन्छ । आत्मा अशान्त हुँदा हामीले कसरी शान्तिको महसुस गर्न सक्छौँ ? । यहाँ नेतादेखि जनता सबै बिरामी छन् । कसैकाे पनि आत्मा शान्त छैन । कसैलाई राेगले, कसैलाई पेटकाे  भाेकले, कसैलाई सत्ताकाे भाेकले त कसैलाई शाेकले अशान्त बनाएकाे छ । सबैका आआफ्नै पीडा छन् व्यथा त्यसैले मेराे देश बिरामी छ ।
कोभिडका कारण लकडाउन भएपछि ज्याला मजदुरी गरेर जीवन निर्वाह गर्ने मानिसको जीवन कष्टकर बनेको छ । मानिस रोग र भोकले छटपटाएर दैनिक ज्यान गुमाइ रहेका छन् । देशमा स्वास्थ्य सेवा मजबुत नहुँदा कति मानिसले आफ्नो ज्यान गुमाउनु परेको छ । कति छोराछोरीले आफ्ना आमाबुबा गुमाए कति  आमाबुबाले आफ्ना छाेराछाेरी गुमाए । यसको कारण मेरो देशमा स्वास्थ्य प्रणाली राम्रो छैन त्यसैले मेरो देश बिरामी । 

देशमा बढ्दो भ्रष्टाचारले जनता निराश छन् । कानुनको पालना शासक,प्रशासकदेखि सर्वसाधारण जनताले पनि गरेको पाइँदैन । सरकारी कार्यालयमा जनताले छिटो छरितो सेवा पाउँदैनन् । सरकारी काम कहिले जालान् घाम भने जस्तै छ । सरकार भएको अनुभूति जनताले कहिले गर्ने हो ? त्यो हेर्न बाँकी नै छ ।

चलाख स्याल
- Samip Aryal - 25014, Grade IX ... 27 June, 2021

कुनै एक समयमा  एउटा जङ्गलमा जङ्गली जनावरहरू बस्थे । जङ्गली जनावरहरूको राजा बाघ थियो भने  प्रधानमन्त्री स्याल थियो । बाघ निर्दयी थियो भने  स्याल चलाख थियो । बाघले म नै सर्वे सर्वा हुँ भन्थ्यो भने स्यालले म जस्तो चतुर तिमी कहाँ छौ र भन्ने सोच्थ्यो।  
एक दिन स्याल जङ्गलको वरिपरि घुमिरहेको थियो । त्यसपछि उसले दुई जनावरहरू एक आपसमा कसरी आफ्नो राजा हटाउने  भनेर कुरा गरिरहेको सुन्यो ।  "हामीले हाम्रो राजा फेर्नुपर्छ। " त्यसपछि स्याल उनीहरूले कुरा गरेको ठाउँमा आयो र भन्यो, " मैले तिमीहरूको सबै कुरा सुनेँ "। स्यालको कुरा सुनेर ती दुई जनावरहरू साह्रै डराए र भने, “कृपया यो कुरा राजालाई नभन्नुहोस् ।” त्यसपछि स्यालले झटपट एउटा जुक्ति निकाल्यो र भन्यो, "मैले याे कुरा बाघलाई बताउँदिन । म पनि तिमीहरूलाई राजा फेर्न  मद्दत गर्छु तर  तिमीहरूले मैले भनेको एउटा कुरा मान्नुपर्छ ; तयार छौ ? स्यालको यस्तो कुरा सुनेपछि उनीहरू मान्न तयार भए । स्यालले भन्यो, “मलाई तिमीहरूले जाडोको लागि बचाएको सबै खाना दिनुपर्छ।” तिनीहरू स्यालको सर्त मान्न मन्जुर भए । स्यालले ती जनावरहरूलाई आफ्नो योजना सुनायो । स्यालको योजनाअनुसार अर्को दिन स्यालले बाघलाई आफूसित एक ठाउँ  जान अनुराेध गर्‍यो । बाघ घुम्न जान तयार भयाे । उनीहरू जङ्गलको बिचमा गए । त्यहाँ एउटा जाल बिछाएकाे थियो र जालमा मासु थियो ।  बाघ मासु देखेर खुसी भयो र त्यसपछि उसले मासु खान सुरु  गर्‍यो । त्यसपछि ऊ जालमा फस्यो । स्याल त्यहाँबाट भाग्याे । अलि पर गएर लुक्याे ।
केही समयपछि दुई मानिसहरू घुम्दै त्यस ठाउँमा पुगे । स्याल झाडी नजिक लुकिरहेको थियो । त्यसपछि ती  मानिसले जालमा फसेकाे  बाघलाई मारे । मानिसहरूले बाघलाई मारेकाे स्यालले देख्याे । त्यसपछि जङ्गल राजा स्याल भयाे ।

Never Give Up
- Sunabhi Pokhrel - 25018, Grad ... 27 June, 2021

Life is like a boxing match. Defeat is declared not when you fall, but when you refuse to stand again. Hey, it’s me Austin Paudel. You know my name, not my story. You’ve heard what I’ve done, not what I’ve been through. So, take a look at my life. I was born on August 19, 2004 AD in a beautiful village in Pokhara. My childhood was not so easy. I have had to work every day and night since I was young. My family had very poor economic conditions but they always worked hard for me and my dreams. 

Since a small age, I had always dreamt of being a boxer. I wanted to become a world-famous boxer and take the boxing field of Nepal to the top in the world. So, I never stopped working hard. After lots of struggles and hardships, I got into a boxing school. During that time, boxing wasn’t considered a big thing in Nepal. I still remember those days when my relatives used to say, “Austin dear, boxing will never take you anywhere. You can study hard and become a doctor or an engineer. Only then will you succeed in life.” If those people who said that to me are looking at me right now, just wanted to let you know where I’ve reached. My family always supported me. Due to all those struggles, our family wasn’t as poor as before. We turned into a decent middle class family. I used to live in a hostel during my high school life with my boxing coach and a few of my friends. They were like a second family to me; always supported me in every step of my life and always motivated and encouraged me to work harder. They were there for me at the lowest point of my life and had always stood by my side. I cannot even describe in words how much I love them. Well, everything was actually pretty normal before Covid-19 arose. 2021 AD has been the most difficult point of my life. My family was in Pokhara but I was living in Kathmandu. And it was the peak time of coronavirus; more than 10,000 cases and 100 deaths a day. I don’t know how but many of my friends, coach sir and I got tested positive for coronavirus. We stayed in isolation together for one week but the condition of a few people including my two best friends and coach sir started to deteriorate. Oxygen levels started decreasing but due to the unmanaged governmental system oxygen cylinders were not available on time. All three of them lost their lives within three days. Feeling sympathetic, right? Everybody sympathized with me during that moment. But nobody realized that what I needed was people’s support, not their sympathy. I still remember how heartbroken I was. I wanted to yell, scream, shout and cry aloud but you know the stuff like ‘You are a boy.’, ‘How weak can a boy be when he cries?’ and ‘Boys never cry.’ always stopped me from doing so. Nobody even realized that crying doesn’t mean that a person is weak, but it means that a person has a heart. I had to control all my emotions just by punching the walls. Those made me feel stronger no matter how much blood flowed from my knuckles. I would cry myself to sleep every night. Everybody called me weak but they never knew what I had gone through. My coach, who was a father to me, with whom I had lived for 5 years, who had taught me about my dream; boxing had left the world, left me alone. My best friends, with whom I had planned on going to the US and living together there as buddies, had gone, leaving me alone with nobody to turn to. I was just a seventeen-year-old boy. I was broke and I needed encouragement but there was nobody I could look out for. My heart couldn’t accept the fact that I lost my beloved ones altogether. I was still corona positive. Negativity in my mind had made me much weaker. I thought I couldn’t make it. But then realizations hit me hard. What about all that hard work I did for my dreams to come true? I had dreamt of going together with my buddies in the US but even though they aren’t here with me, I could be the one fulfilling their dreams. My coach; had always wanted me to be brave, work hard and fight. He would have never wanted to see me in such a vulnerable state. I had promised to make him proud and I decided that I would make everybody proud of me. I would fight hard every day and be brave. I would win medals and trophies for them. Even though they aren’t here with me, they might be watching me from far away. After that day, I started working as hard as before. I would box every day. I even got tested negative. 

Till today’s date, I, Austin Paudel have been working hard and have not given up in life no matter how bad the situation has been. I know life doesn't give justice to everybody. Nobody wants their life to be crap but we need to accept the reality. If I hadn’t been through those phases in my life, I would have never reached where I am today. So, everybody never give up on yourself. Coach sir and my buddies, if yo
