We can generally classify people as good or bad. ‘Good’ meaning desirable and good doers, and ‘bad’ being undesirable, consisting of people who often act morally and lawfully wrong. As society progresses, I feel as though the line between good and bad is getting blurred, which makes me question: Aren’t good and bad just human constructs?
A person being good or bad is highly dependent on the circumstances. For instance, having a luxurious mansion is a good thing because it allows a person to live very comfortably. However, if a murder were to happen in that mansion, it becomes a danger to the owners, as they could become the victims as well. At that moment, not having that mansion doesn’t sound too bad. This example illustrates how the perception of good and bad can dramatically shift based on the situation. Similarly, humans too should be classified as good or bad based on the circumstance. This illustrates how various situations can affect how a person is perceived.
While dividing people as good and bad, it is important to take into consideration that extremes in these classifications can be problematic, as neither constant happiness nor constant misery is ideal. This is because being too happy at a person's funeral is rude; hence, it is never too good to be happy all the time. At the same time, if someone is having a wedding, you cannot mope around all day, as it would ruin the couple's experience.
The division between good and bad often overlooks the vast spectrum of situations in the real world. When someone commits a crime, our immediate reaction is to label them as "bad." However, if we go deeper, we realize that there are instances where such actions may be justifiable. This is the importance of having a more undivided perspective, seeing the world not as black and white but as an array of colors, each representing a unique context.
As I have said earlier, human perception of good and bad is heavily subjective. It depends on social, cultural, and traditional values. That is because, to Hindus, any person who consumes cows is bad because in their caste, it is a crime punishable by going to hell. But at the same time, to a person who has grown up in a totally different environment, wouldn’t find any harm in eating cows. This is another example of how good and bad are biased. Similarly, intent also sways a person’s judgment of who is good and who is bad. If a person were to kill someone, they are wrong and bad. But in the case that the murder was to defend themselves or someone else, they would be deemed as a hero. This is how intent plays an important role in dividing good and bad.
In the end, whether you are good or bad is nothing more than human ideas. This is due to the fact that a person is classified as bad or good not based on hard facts, but also on societal norms, values, moral values, circumstances, and intentions. We should strive to look beyond the surface and decide what really makes ‘good’ good and ‘bad’ bad.

Life in a blue sea water,
Not close to home,
Where I might see my relatives,
Not close to it at all.
Multiple eyes surround me,
Like I'm a freak-show,
Multiple four-legged creatures,
Am I a freak-show?
Living in this box,
This small, tiny box,
They think this is my home,
But my home was taken from.
Do they know?
Will they send me back?
I miss my friends,
But it seems I won't see them ever.
All alone and hopeless,
The pebbles are my only friend,
Listen to me,
This life in this aquarium.
Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev, the final reigning monarch of Nepal and a member of the Shah dynasty, is a significant historical figure in the country's history. Born in 1947, Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev is a notable figure in Nepalese history as the last member of the Shah family to rule the country.
He was the second son of King Mahendra and Queen Indra Rajya Laxmi. Gyanendra is descended from a long-standing Nepalese royal line, the Shah dynasty. He was introduced to the traditions and practices of the Nepalese monarchy during his early schooling as a young prince. The rights and obligations that accompanied his royal rank shaped his early years. In 1972, Gyanendra's life changed dramatically with the accession of his elder brother, King Birendra, to the throne. Gyanendra served in the military and held various roles in the administration when Birendra was king, gaining experience for a future role in the monarchy. The circumstances surrounding Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev's ascension to the Nepali monarchy were peculiar and sad. Something terrible happened in the Narayanhiti Royal Palace in Kathmandu on the evening of June 1, 2001. Gyanendra's nephew and heir apparent, Crown Prince Dipendra, went on a shooting spree that claimed the lives of several royal members of the family, including Queen Aishwarya, King Birendra, Gyanendra's elder brother, and other relatives. Gyanendra personally served as the chairman of the Council of Ministers, which decided to crown him as monarch. On June 4, 2001, this choice was announced.
During his reign, King Gyanendra took an active part in Nepalese politics. In 2002, he overthrew the democratically elected government, alleging its inability to effectively manage the Maoist insurgency that had been waging since 1996. Political instability and protests were sparked by his assumption of executive powers. During his rule, the Maoist insurgency became more violent, growing despite efforts to end it, resulting in serious fighting and losses. King Gyanendra made a contentious move in February 2005 when he once again overthrew the elected government and assumed full authority. Numerous people opposed this action, sparking countrywide demonstrations and calls for the return of democracy. A large-scale demonstration in 2006, called Jana Andolan II or People's Movement, compelled King Gyanendra to renounce his executive authority and reinstate the House of Representatives. The People's Movement of 2006, referred to as Jana Andolan II, marked the beginning of the monarchy's downfall. The fall of the democratically elected government in 2005 signaled the start of King Gyanendra's direct rule, which was the subject of this massive protest movement. The people's movement was an anti-autocratic countrywide demonstration against the king's policies.
Nepal's history underwent a significant and profound shift with the fall of the monarchy. With the transition from a monarchy to a federal democratic republic, it signaled a significant change in Nepal's political system. The People's Movement of 2006 was a large-scale demonstration against King Gyanendra's despotic leadership that set off the collapse of the monarchy. On May 28, 2008, the monarchy was formally abolished as a result of subsequent political accords and the election of the Constituent Assembly in April 2008.
ढोकाहरू चिच्याए जस्तै आवाज
बिहान चराहरू चिच्याउँछन्
चरा सधैँ हावामा स्वतन्त्र हुन्छन्
इन्द्रेणीमाथि अनन्त यात्रा गर्दै
बेग्लै संसारमा रमाइरहेछन् ।
रातमा चम्किलो चन्द्रमा उदाएपछि
मनका सारा खुसीहरू पाेखिन्छन्
मैले क्याटरपिलर बनेर कम्बलको
कुनामा लुक्ने प्रयास गरेँ
ती लुकाइहरू पाेखिएर गए ।
माछाहरू समुद्रमा पौडी खेल्छन्
त्यहाँ फरक संसार छ उनीहरूकाे
तिनीहरूले पानीको फोका छोडेर
आफ्ना गिलबाट सास फेर्छन्
त्यही सासमा आश र जीवन छ ।
मलाई सधैँ अरूलाई हेरेर रमाउँथे
म सोच्थेँ कि मानिसहरू किन
मानिसलाई हेरेर रमाउन सक्दैनन्
आफूले चाहेको ठाउँमा जान र गर्न
अरू प्राणी जस्तै मानिस किन स्वतन्त्र छैन ?
प्रत्येक मानिसका आफ्नै विचारहरू छन्
तर विचारमा मानिसहरू अडिग छैनन्
किनकि, म ढुक्कले भन्न सक्छु
यो घृणाले भरिएको संसार हो
यहाँ मायाभन्दा घृणा बढी छ ।
साना साना कदम बढाउँदै
पाइलाहरू सार्दा सार्दै,
कुन परिस्थितिमा आइपुगेछु
मैले चालै पाइनँ ।
जीवनको यो रमणीय यात्रामा
कहिले हराएछु
मैले थाहै पाईन ।
नयाँ मानिस र असल साथी खोज्दै
प्रकृतिको सुन्दरतालाई नियाल्दै
यस संसारका रहस्यका बारेमा सोच्दै
यो ब्रमहाण्डको विचित्रतामा हराएछु म ।
जती हरायो त्यति रमाउने यो प्रकृतिमा
मैले आफ्नोपन भेटेँ।
मानिसले बिगारेको वनलाई
आफ्नो साथी ठानेँ ।
विनाशकारी विपरित बुद्धि भन्थे
मानिस त्यस्तै हुँदा रहेछन् ।
जति सिकाए पनि
त्यही प्रकृतिको नाश गर्दछन् ।
कति स्वार्थी है यो मानव जाति
आफ्नो सुखी जीवनका लागि
प्रकृति र पृथ्वीलाई उजाड बनाएको छ
उसकै विनाश गर्दै छ ।
सत्य युगमा देव र अशुर लोकको युद्ध भयो,
त्रेता युगमा राम र रावणको युद्ध भयो ।
द्वापर युगमा माहाभारतको युद्ध भयो
तर यो युगमा मानिसले आफैँसँग युद्ध लड्नु छ ।
मानिसले आफैसँग लडिरहेछ,
आफैसँग कराइरहेछ
स्वार्थमा आफैँ अल्झिरहेछ
ईश्वरमा श्रद्धा नै छैन,
र आफूलाई मद्दत गर्नेलाई
जरा काट्न थाल्याे ।
It’s nostalgia that you brew,
Oh dear moon of the starry view.
On those lonely nights that I lay,
Remembering ones now far away.
Memories replay like music from old cassettes,
Of sadness and joy as pairs of undefined sets.
All the seasons of the year passed away,
All the wounds you gave are scarring away.
Your unquenchable thirst for perfection,
Detests times filled with joy and happiness.
Society that remains with stains of blood,
Of my loved ones whom you claimed as odd.
Like mist from the rain in winter break,
Hatred and rage made my head shake.
For what sin had hanged them this way,
“The sin of their low castes,” you say.
You were the void harnessing darkness,
For us, the measly pawns, you oppress.
Puppeteer whose powers were strings,
Tied to make us stoop as weaklings.
The sun shone brightly to a new day,
With hopes and prosperity to stay.
I ask, will this be the perfect day?
For starting anew without going astray.
Thousands of years into the future, humans have advanced into multi-planetary inhabitants across the universe. All the inhabited planets are ruled by a spiritual force called MrBeast. MrBeast emits a force bending time, which keeps time static throughout the whole universe. The planets are controlled by dynasties created hundreds of years ago. There are four major dynasties: The Thrash dynasty, The Epirus dynasty, The Seeker dynasty, and Fury dynasty. These dynasties have specific tasks assigned for the functioning of the universe. They are all bound by rules called the “Shumsher,” which prohibit the use of world-destroying machines and weapons.
The Thrash dynasty is the most powerful among all the dynasties. They are culturally vast, rich, and strong. They inhabit 58 planets, more than any other dynasties, but the main reason for their power is the brutes. Brutes are strong, rigid, and colossal creatures that can be summoned by their user at any time and any place. They travel through rifts, which fracture space and time for intergalactic travel. Humans cannot go through rifts as their bodies are too fragile to endure the great pressure of the rifts, but they can be ridden, which is the primary way for Thrashians to travel.
The Epirus dynasty is rich in technology. They have the least number of inhabited planets, but their advancement in technology puts them at par with the Thrash dynasties. They have big spaceships capable of intergalactic travels, but they are limited by their minds to travel great distances without any casualties. So, they rely on the Seekers for the piloting of these ships.
The Seekers are humans capable of seeing the future. They are able to predict the near future. How far you can see into the future depends on your age. The older you get, the further you can see into the future; you can see past your own death, but some prodigies can see hundreds of years into the future at a very young age. Their minds are very strong to endure the load of all the information channeling through their minds. The Seekers and the Epirus have a good political relationship between them as they rely on each other.
The Fury dynasty are mysterious humans who have prolonged their lifespan with the help of herbs. They have strong minds and intelligent creatures and are the most evolved out of all the humans, but they strictly prohibit themselves from using any technology. They are able to use telepathy and create rifts. Due to their large lifespans, they have strict rules against reproduction, and a baby can be born every 500 years. They have the least number of planets under them, having only four planets under their rule.
The story starts with the heir to the Thrash dynasty, Bjorn. He is a handsome young man with brown eyes, dark brown hair, a slim body, and a chiseled jawline. Today is the day he is crowned the king. He is woken up by his mother for the rituals, but he lacks enthusiasm as he believes he is not right for the throne, but it is too late. His father, Emperor Math, patiently waits for his son, but he is stunned to see the emperor's messenger bursting into the room. The messenger reads aloud, “Gather your troops, as a new planet has been found at coordinates X: 1444 and Y: 2381.” After relaying this information, he vanishes into thin air. Math shouts, “Where is my son? I need him now.” Hearing his father's call, Bjorn instinctively rushes to the throne room. Math leads him to a hidden room. Bjorn enters an enclosed room, a room he had never seen before. There he sees three men dressed in white cloaks with a symbol on their heads. Bjorn is trained not to be scared, but this time he lets go. He is beyond frightened; his hands are shaking, and his body is stone-cold.
"Wake up," Math commands, his voice trembling with urgency. "I need you." As Math strips off his own shirt, the room seems to grow colder and darker, and tension hangs in the air. The men in white draw an ominous circle on the floor around Math. It is as if time has slowed. Bjorn, bewildered and terrified, is handed a sinister-looking dagger. His hands shake, and he cannot take his eyes off the terrifying dagger. Math's voice rises, and he says, "Stab my eyes, and drink the blood." Bjorn's horror deepens, and he feels a chill down his spine. He shakes his head no. The weight of this sinister ritual bears down on him; his instincts urge him to flee. The men in white, their voices now a haunting chorus, speak as one, "What heir have you created, Math? You said he was the one." Their synchronized voices seem to merge into a single dissonant tone, amplifying the tension in the room, and the gravity of the situation presses upon Bjorn, leaving him paralyzed by fear and uncertainty. Math yells again, “JUST DO IT,” while his eyes turn from brown to blue. The blue ocean is hypnotizing. The deep bright blue suddenly changes to red as Bjorn has done the unthinkable; his hand, shaking, the dagger is dripping in blood. He throws the dagger away and lets out a scream. The men in the same synchronized voice say, “Finish the ritual, emperor,” and levitate him, forcing the dagger coated in blood into his mouth. The blood drips down his throat, and his eyes change colors to the same blue his father had. He blinks, and he is flushed by the memories of the past emperors.
Screaming in pain and agony, holding his head, he starts banging his head to the ground thinking it would stop his misery. Suddenly he stops; he lifts his head with a stone-cold look in his eyes, he lets out a sigh. His posture looks different; it is like he is a different person; his eyes have determination, his posture is strong, and his expression symbolizes power. He gets on his face and looks at his father's dead body with no remorse and sorrow.
As the tension in the room mounts, a distant explosion startles everyone. Bjorn rushes to the balcony and sees the Epirus, a powerful enemy, attacking the planet with their massive warships. This breaks a peace treaty between different ruling families. Bjorn, strangely calm, mutters a word, "Aki," as if he knows this is coming. The sky darkens with storm clouds, and lightning hits one of the enemy ships. Behind the castle, a huge rift opens, and a monstrous creature emerges, summoned to protect the kingdom. In the distance, the cries of scared children can be heard, and it is clear that war is upon them. The stage is set for a big, decisive battle.

“साक्षी ! तिमी कहिले आफ्नो परिवारलाई एस खत्तम प्रथाबारे किन भन्दिनाै ?” रहरले साक्षीको काखमा टाउको राख्दै साक्षीतर्फ हेर्दै सोध्छ ।
एकछिन सोचेपछि मात्र साक्षीको मुखबाट जवाफ निस्किन्छ, “मलाई थाहा छैन रहर । किन मलाई भन्न मन नै लाग्दैन । उहाँँहरूले सुनेनि यो प्रथालाई नराम्रो भनेर हेर्दैनन् भन्ने थाहा भएर हो कि डरले हो । कि सानैदेखि यसरी नै पालेर बानि भएर हो । मैले उहाँँहरूलाई भने पनि फाइदा हुँदैन जस्तो लाग्छ।” “तर उहाँँहरूलाई यस कुराको बारेमा जान्नु जरुरी छ साक्षी । उहाँहरूलाई यो प्रथाको हानिकारक असरहरूबारे जान्न धेरै जरुरी छ साक्षी । उहाँँहरू तिम्रो परिवार हाे, अलिकति प्रयास गरेपछि बुझ्नुहाेला कि ! ” रहरले भन्छ ।
“उहाँहरू मेरो परिवार हाे त्यसैले भनिरहेकी छु । उहाँहरूले हाम्रो कुरा बुझ्नुहुन्न रहर । उनीहरूको आँखामा हाम्रा विचारहरू बच्चाहरूका विचार हुन् । उहाँहरूको विश्वासको विरुद्ध जाने हाम्रो सोच हाम्रो बोली उहाँहरूका लागि मजाक हुन्छन् रहर।”, साक्षीले हाँस्दै भन्छे।
रहरले साक्षीको लामो परेला र सुन्दर अनुहारतर्फ हेरिरहेको हुन्छ । साक्षी गाउँका केटीहरूमध्ये एकदमै सुन्दर थिई । रहरको आँखामा त झन् सुन्दर । १६ वर्षीय साक्षी र रहर स्कुलको ४ कक्षादेखि प्रेमीप्रेमिका रहेका थिए । उनीहरूलाई कोसैले छुट्टाउन सक्दैनथे । उनीहरूको परिवारहरूलाई उनीहरूको सम्बन्धको बारेमा केही थाहा थिएन र उनीहरू केही भन्ने इरादामा पनि थिएनन् । आखिर साक्षी रहरभन्दा गरिब परिवारबाट बुबाआमाको पसिनाले बगेको पैसाले बोडिङ्ग स्कुलमा पढ्न आएकी थिई । आफ्नो आमा बुबाको छोरी बोडिङ्ग स्कुलमा पढोस् भन्ने इच्छा पूरा गर्न मात्र पढिरहेकी थिई । तर उसको धेरै जस्तो बेला पढाइ छुट्टिन्थ्यो । ऊ हरेक महिना बिरामी भएको बहाना बनाएर स्कुल १ हप्तासम्म आउँदिनथी । किनकि उसलाई महिनावारी भएको बेला छाप्राेमा लगेर राखिन्थ्यो र पढ्न जान पनि दिइँदैनथ्याे । उसको स्कुलले परिवारलाई यो समस्याको बारेमा धेरै पटक सम्झाउन त खाजेका हुन् तर साक्षीका आमाबुबा धेरै अन्धविश्वासी थिए ।
यस प्रथाका कारण बिचरी त्यो साक्षीलाई १६ वर्षको उमेरसम्म तिन पटक महामारीको रोग लागिसकेको थियो । तर पनि उसका आमाबुबाले आफ्ना आँखाबाट अन्धविश्वासकाे आँखा खोलेनन् । “तिमी साच्ची निश्चित छौ आफ्नो निर्णयबारेमा ?” रहरले सोध्छ ।
“म निश्चित छु रहर। मलाई थाहा छ हामीले गर्न आटेको कुरा कति कठिन निर्णय हो भनेर तर हामीले यो गर्नैपर्छ रहर । यहाँ बस्यौ भनी मेरो परिवारले मलाई काँच्चै खान्छ र त्यहाँ गएर नि केही भयो भनी म सकेसम्म प्रयास त गरे भनेर हुन्छु रहर । मलाई यो गाउँभन्दा धेरै टाढा हेर्नु छ रहर । मलाई यो नदी कता गएर सक्किन्छ हेर्नु छ। म यता बसेर बाँच्न सक्दिनँ रहर । त्यसैले म पनि तिमीसँगै………….”, साक्षीले दुरीमा बगिरहेको नदीतर्फ हेर्दै भन्छे।
“तिमी निश्चित छौ भनी त् मा पनि निश्चित छु । तिमीलाई थाहा नपाइकन चैँ कसरी भगाउने भनेर अलि गारो छ । तर तिमी चिन्ता नगर साक्षी म तिमीलाई यहाँबाट जसरी भए पनि भगाएर लान्छु।”,रहरले साक्षीको हात समाएर उसको आँखामा हेरेर भन्छ । “म मेरो पढाइ भारतमा पूरा गरिरहेको हुन्छु । अनि, म काम पनि गर्छु अनि तिमीलाई खुसी राख्छु।” साक्षीले रहरको आँखामा हेरिमात्र रहन्छे र हाँस्छे तर केही बोल्दिन।
“हामी पर्सिसँगै लुकेर निस्किनुपर्छ हस् ? भारत पुगेपछि हाम्रो खुसीका दिन सुरु हुन्छन् साक्षी । अनि मेरो पढाइ सकिएपछि म तिमीसँग विवाह पनि गर्छु।”
“हस् हस् हजुर ! आउलान् हाम्रा दिनहरू अब तपाईंको बाऊ खोज्न आउनुभन्दा पहिले छिटो गैस्योस्।” साक्षी रहरलाई बिदा गर्दै भन्छे।
“म भोलि नि आउँछु, मेरो लागि पर्खिराख है।”
“हस् हस् हजुर ! पर्खौला।”
A glass box separates me
From the world.
I can see its beauty,
But I can't touch the world nor feel it.
I watch everyone stare at me.
I am skeptical about what they know.
I swim around in circles
To pass my time alone.
I dream of openness,
Of swimming in the ocean,
Feeling the waves over me,
And the sunlight on my skin.
One day, I hope for freedom,
To swim away from everything,
To explore the sea and the ocean,
And find my place in this world.
