How did WHO really save the entire world?
- Bikarsha Ojha - 2022005, Grad ... 25 February, 2021

WHO or World Health Organization is a specialized agency of UNO with the utmost objective to assist in the medical research sector. Nowadays, it has been well recognized in the world for its recent contributions in informing the globe about the ongoing pandemic and introducing measures on how to minimize the effect in one’s country. But, how did they actually save the whole world from something that could’ve left the entire world in a disastrous situation and a different scenario on what we see today?
COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 is the newest virus on the chart that has left the world in a complete lockdown(literally). International transport was stopped, Physical communications were completely blocked due to lockdown and we had to completely go on an isolated-digital state. Well, the world did see a new development towards the technological state faster than ever before, more than the advantages many disadvantages were more visible. One of such disadvantages was isolation from all means of physical life. Human beings are known to be social and sudden isolation was very hard for many people to cope with. These sudden changes caught an impact on people who were beginning to properly interact. Also, it affected a nation by developmental and economic means. Economically, the whole world suffered and developmental works shut entirely for health precaution measures. Many people suffered but the situation got under control before it got very much out of hand. After the discovery of the virus in Wuhan, China, this virus was taken into immediate notice although it was unknown to the world. After some research about the virus, COVID-19 was taken into immediate notice and was announced to the world of an upcoming inevitable wave of a pandemic that had bestowed upon the world. WHO did act upon its main objective and did inform regularly on what to do and follow and continuously worked with big health research agencies on finding a cure. WHO informed the world, proceeded to create many policies and measures to member governments on measures and protocols to be followed on preventing the virus to go to its most dangerous. Yes, theoretically Human beings suffered a mass loss and crisis in many ways and we cannot ignore the fact of all minimizations that happened with the help of WHO introduced protocols. We could’ve been seeing a whole different scenario if WHO didn't stand up and act as the only messenger to the entire world amidst what was most necessarily required. 

Well, the strict protocols encouraged by WHO did have some negative effects on the world’s productivity and economy, but if we look from another point of view where the protocols were never introduced, we would be in a disastrous scenario as there would be no practice of physical distancing, isolation and a sense of prevention would not happen and COVID would’ve just ended the world and left it in shambles, possibly even making human beings to start from scratch.

कोरोना कहानी
- Simone Shree Pathak - 2023012 ... 24 February, 2021

बेला बेलामा संसारमा अनौठा अनौठा कुराहरू सुनिन्छन् र देखिन्छन् पनि । कतिपय अवस्थामा पत्याउन नै नसकिने स-साना जीवाणुले प्राणीलाई दु:ख दिन्छन् भने कतिपय अवस्थामा ज्यान पनि लिन्छन् । यो २०७७ साल पनि यस्तै भयो । भयरहित अवस्थामा न त नयाँ वर्ष मनाउन पायौँ  न त कुनै चाडपर्व नै। यसको मुख्य कारण कोविड १९ थियो ।  

कक्षा ८ को अन्तिम परीक्षा सक्दै कक्षा ९ मा जाने तरखरमा रहेका हामी सोचे जसरी विद्यालय जान सकेनौँ  । बिदामा घुम्न जाने हाम्रा योजना मनभित्रै बिलाए । न हामी हाम्रो गाउँ गयौँ  न घरबाहिर खेल्न पायौँ । देशभर लकडाउन सुरु भयो । हाम्रो संसार भनेको मोबाइल र ल्यापटप हुन थाल्यो । ग्याजेटमा समय बितायौँ । सुरु सुरु त राम्रै लाग्यो अझ भनौँ रमाइलो नै  लाग्यो । जब लकडाउन लम्बिदै जान थाल्यो तब आत्तिन थाल्यौँ । कोरोना सङ्क्रमितको सङ्ख्या पनि दिनप्रति दिन बृद्धि हुँदै जान थाल्यो ।    हाम्रो संसार भनेकै घर मात्रै भयो । घरबाहिर निस्कनु भनेको कोरोनालाई घरभित्र  ल्याउनु हो भन्ने कुरा मात्र हाम्रो मनले सोच्यो । त्यसैले हामी जोखिम मोलेर घरबाहिर निस्कन चाहेनौँ।  

कोरोनाको जोखिम कायमै रहे पनि बिस्तारै सरकारले लकडाउन खोल्यो । बन्द यातायात जोर  बिजोर गर्दै खुल्न थाले । व्यापार व्यवसायलगायत अरू पनि खुला हुन थाले । २०७६ चैतदेखि नै बन्द विद्यालयहरू बिस्तारै खुल्न थाले । अहिले हामी पनि भौतिक रूपमै विद्यालय आउन  थालेका छौँ। कोरोनाको भ्याक्सिन बनिसकेको छ। डर हराउँदै जान थालेको छ। सबै सामान्य कुरा बन्दै गइरहेका छन् ।

Animal Abuse In Clothing Market
- Anushka Basnet - 2023002, Gra ... 24 February, 2021

Clothes are our basic necessity. With modernizing society and urban places increasing at a rapid pace, clothes have not only been to things to cover our body but also something that defines us, it has become a fashion. Thus them being manufactured every day in huge amounts is also a need. Alpaca, mohair, cashmere, down, leather, and wool products are some of the most famous types of clothing used by people every day. These types of clothes are preferred by a huge amount of people. But barely anyone knows the consequences animals face to make these kinds of clothes. Recently the news about the process of manufacturing of the clothes has been surfacing through the internet. Many animals have been abused to make those fancy items of clothing that we as human beings pay a fortune to wear and show to other people. 

Clothes produced by leading clothing and lifestyle retail shops such as Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, Zara, etc exactly know what kind of abuse those innocent animals have been facing in the name of human fashion, however, they are keeping their mouths shut on these topics. With many people who are unaware of these things, these clothing retailers are taking advantage and are continuing to abuse animal lives. Slaughtering animals’ skin to produce clothes to cover our own skin is no joke and should be taken down immediately. It was exposed that workers tie-down and mutilate pregnant alpacas for wools. During shearing, workers hit, kick, and mutilate sheep for their wool which leaves sheep with bloody wounds. At mohair and cashmere operations workers burn, electroshock beat, and slaughter cows and buffalos to make leather, not leaving even the young calves. It was even revealed that workers yank out a fistful of geese feathers, and boil silkworms alive to produce silk. And we pay so much money indirectly to abuse those innocent animals. Unawareness of the people has been resulting in the incidents. Excessive manufacture of clothes is also a problem that makes the earth more polluted but is not much discussed. Many activists are actively participating in programs to cancel these  “trends” of slaughtering animals for clothes.

I believe each and every person should be informed on this topic. For this media should play a great role. Also, these leading brands should minimize abusing animals for their profit. Those voiceless animals cannot stand up for themselves and stop the wrong deeds we humans are doing, therefore at least we can help minimize these activities. Animals are life, and killing and abusing them is an inhuman act conducted by humans, and each and every person should work on abolishing it. Clothes can be manufactured from plants and other measures too. Using cotton clothes instead of leather, minimizing the use of leather in daily activities can help minimize these acts.  

Thus, animal abuse for the manufacturing of clothes is a serious crime and should be taken down immediately. In my opinion, there should be more laws against these crimes and people should be ashamed of what they are doing to animals in the name of clothes.

फुटबल खेल
- Yunil Ghimire - 2023014, Grad ... 23 February, 2021

फुटबल खेल अहिले विश्वको सबैभन्दा लोकप्रिय खेल हो । खुट्टाले बललाई हानेर खेलिने खेल नै फुटबल हो । यस खेलमा दुई समूहमा ११/ ११ जना खेलाडी हुन्छन् ।फुटबल खेल्न जति रमाइलो हुन्छ, हेर्दा उति नै आनन्द आउँछ । फुटबल हेर्दा दर्शकलाई  जति आनन्द आउँछ खेलाडीलाई खेल खेल्न भने निकै गाह्रो हुन्छ । फुटबलको इतिहास निकै पुरानो छ।

सन् १८६३ मा बेलायतमा निश्चित नियम बनाएर व्यावसायिक फुटबलकोआधुनिक स्वरूपको सुरूवात भएको थियो । सन् १८६३ को अक्टोबरमा ‘द फुटबल एसोसिएसन’को गठनसँगै फुटबलका नियम पनि बन्न थाले । यसैले बेलायतलाई फुटबल खेलको जन्मदाता मानिन्छ । फुटबलले आजको अवस्थासम्म आउन निकै लामो यात्रा पार गरिसकेको छ । प्राचीनकालमा खेलिने फुटबल भने अहिलेजस्तो थिएन। डेभिड गोलबेटले आफ्नो किताब ‘द बल इज राउन्ड’मा लेखेका छन्, : ‘प्राचीनकालमा बल खेल्ने चलन त थियो तर फुटबललाई आधुनिकताले जन्माएको हो ।’

खुट्टाले बललाई निरन्तर हान्दै र अभ्यास गर्दै जाँदा फुटबलको जन्म भएको हो । बेलायतबाट सुरु भएको फुटबल अहिले विश्वभर चर्चामा छ। यसलाई खेलको राजा पनि भानिन्छ। अहिले धेरै मानिसको रोजाइमा पर्ने यो खेल विश्वको चर्चित र लोकप्रिय खेल हो।

Is the Universe Fine-Tuned For Human Life? Noone Ever Knows!
- Arunesh Manandhar - 2022002, ... 22 February, 2021

It is a well-known fact that the existence of life on earth is a mystery and it is impossible for scientists to present the proof to support their ideas on their theory about the existence of life. But let’s dive into something deeper, deeper than the Pacific and larger than the Atlantic. If we see our present scenario, we human beings along with numerous organisms are living within a large sphere called the earth and it has been the same for billions of years, starting from the evolution of the first plant life to today’s generation of humans. But no one still knows how this all started. Scientists claim theory about the big bang, but they're still are many doubts that tend to oppose their theory. Even they do not have strong points and ideas that say that everything started from the big bang.

Big bang suggests that at the beginning, there was just a small atom within nothing, a complete vacuum, and all of a sudden it exploded releasing a lot of energy emitted out from it, and the universe was created. They also claim that the universe because of the released energy, keeps expanding on its own. However, the problem in this theory arises when a question is asked, “If the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into?” Albert Einstein said that the universe is equivalent to a sphere without any boundaries. But if there are no boundaries in the universe, and someone becomes able to reach to the very end of it, where will they reach? This question might even arise in the brain of a curious child looking in the eyes of an adult waiting for the answer. But they get nothing because the answer to this is not even answered by any brilliant individual who has ever lived. Many scientists got involved in the research for these topics and many died without knowing the answer, many are still working to answer these questions. Michio Kaku, Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking are some of the brilliant individuals that have contributed a lot on these subjects.

In the sixteen years of my life, I have spent a lot of time staring at the night sky and looking at the bright stars that are a thousand light-years away from me. But what makes me wonder is the fact that the stars that I am seeing aren’t actually present in the current time, but they are only the light rays that have traveled about thousands of light-years to us so we can observe it through our naked eyes. 

The question still remains, how did it all start in the first place? How did we all end up being here rather than any other places in the entire universe? If the universe expands, what does it expand into? What happens if someone would reach the end of the universe? No one has ever managed to give a suitable answer to this question. The research for the answer is going on and will be for even more centuries until one day someone would actually come to humanity and prove that God is real!

How Greek Gods came to be
- Remoon Gorkhali - 2023008, Gr ... 21 February, 2021

The gods and goddesses have different parts to play in greek mythology. For instance, Zeus is the god of the skies, Poseidon is the god of the sea and Hephaestus is the god of metalwork, forging, and fire. Altogether there were twelve main gods and goddesses in Greek mythology they were  Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Hephaestus, Dionysus, Athena, Artemis, Apollo, Ares, Demeter, Aphrodite, and Hermes. 

It is said that the world was once in a state of nothingness which the Greeks called chaos. Then one day from a light came Gala (The greek personation of mother earth) then came Uranus the god of the sky and other old gods (also known as primordials) Uranus and Gala had 12 children they were the titans the most important of the titans were Kronos and Rhea. Gala also gave birth to some monsters called some cyclopes and some monsters called the hundred-handed ones. Uranus, disgusted by the monsters, imprisoned them in Tartarus. Enraged by this act of Uranus, Gala used her son Kronos to cut off  Uranus’s testicles and threw them into the ocean and by Uranus’s testicles blood, it gave birth to the goddess of love and beauty Aphrodite. Kronos then married his sister Rhea.

Kronos was told a prophecy that said that one of his children would dethrone him. Scared of this prophecy Kronos ate all of his children after birth angered by this Rhea hid her youngest son in a cave with a nymph named Amaltheia who raised him by giving him goat milk. After Zeus was old enough he tricked Kronos into drinking wine spiked with mustard. After he drank the wine spiked with mustard he vomited all the god’s out since the gods were immortal; they were unharmed by the digestive acids in Kronos’s stomach. After the return of all the gods, Zeus started a war against Kronos and the titans in order to control the heavens. The war continued for ten years and at last Zeus and his army had won; angered by his father’s past doings Zeus cut Kronos into pieces and threw them into Tartarus. After that Zeus became the leader of the gods (also called the god of all gods) and the god of the skies, Poseidon became the god of the oceans and Hades became the god of the underworld Zeus had also married his sister Hera and named her the queen of the gods.
(Note: The ancient Greeks had a very liberal attitude in life. Family unions were not applicable to them, that is why brothers could marry their sisters and have children or a son could kill his parents)

The Black Mamba
- Anushka Basnet - 2023002, Gra ... 18 February, 2021

The black mamba is a species of highly venomous snake belonging to the family Elapidae. It is originally from areas of Sub-Saharan Africa. According to Albert Günther in 1864 it is the second-longest venomous snake after the King Cobra. Its skin color varies from grey to dark brown. Black Mambas tend to be paler than adults and darken with age.

Black Mambas are both terrestrial and arboreal. It is known to prey on birds and small mammals. It can move up to 16 km/h (10 mph) for short distances. The black mamba usually opens its inky-black mouth, spreads its narrow neck-flap, and sometimes hisses to give a death threat. Its venom is composed of neurotoxins that often create symptoms within ten minutes. The black mamba attacks humans only if it is threatened or cornered. The black mamba is the most feared snake in Africa because of its size, aggression, venom toxicity, and speed. 

The black mamba's bite is called the "kiss of death,", and it is said to balance at the end of its tail, towering over victims before attacking. Its scientific name is “Dendroaspis Polylepis”. It comes under the reptilia animal type. They can weigh up to 3.5 pounds and have a lifespan of 11 years. It is a carnivore and classified as Least Concerned animal to extinction.  The snake feeds on hyrax, birds, bats, and bushbabies. It is an ambush predator that hunts by sight. Even though black mambas are naturally aggressive animals, they would escape if they had a chance and because of their speed they normally do it. But if they have their egg with them they will more likely attack. Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia are the common homes for Black Mambas. 

It has very strong venom combined with the instinct to strike numerous times. Antivenom has to be administered quickly to someone who has been bitten by such a snake. The time span would likely be no more than 20 minutes. Black mambas are really pretty snakes and are most likely to not harm humans.

संस्कृति
- Rohan Upreti - 2022016, Grade ... 18 February, 2021

संस्कृति आर्जित सम्पति हो। हामीले आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूले मान्दै आएका कुराहरू मान्दै आइरहेका छौँ। परम्परादेखि चलि आएका चालचलन वा मान्यतालाई हामी संस्कृतिका रूपमा मान्दै आइरहेका छौँ। संस्कृति भन्नाले कुनै राष्ट्र जाति वा समुदायको सामाजिक जीवन,आर्थिक,व्यवस्था राजनीतिक चालचलन,खानपिन पहिरन चिन्तन आदि अनेकन् कुरालाई जनाउँछ।संस्कृतिले कुनै राष्ट्र जाति वा समुदायका मानिसका खाने तरिका,बोल्ने तरिका,काम गर्ने तरिका,हेर्ने तरिका,बस्ने तरिकासमेतलाई जनाउँछ।संस्कृति नैतिक नियम पनि हो। संस्कृति भन्नासाथ हामी पुर्खासँग जोडिन पुग्छौँ। पुर्खाहरूले चलाएको र आफ्नो भन्दैमा सबै कुरा राम्रो हुन्छ भन्ने पनि केही छैन।संस्कृतिको चरित्र परम्परागत हुन्छ तर अपरिवर्तनशील हुँदैन। भूगोल र जातिअनुसार संस्कृति फरक हुन्छ। महिला र पुरुषका पहिरन, गरगहना, बोलीवचनमा पाइने भिन्नताका आधारमा पनि संस्कृति फरक हुने गरेको देखिन्छ। नेपालमा तराई ,पहाड र हिमालमा अलगअलग प्रकारका संस्कृति छन् र ती सबै मिलेर सिङ्गो नेपाली राष्ट्रिय संस्कृतिको निर्माण भएको छ।संस्कृति बहुधार्मिक,बहुजातीय बहुभाषिक,र विविधतामयी हुन्छ। संस्कृति समुदाय वा राष्ट्रको अङ्ग हो। संस्कृतिमा मानिसले आफ्ना जीवनशैली व्यवहार रहनसहन जस्ता कुराहरू  प्रस्तुत गर्दछ। नेपाली संस्कृति नेपालीको मौलिक संस्कृति हो।नेपाली संस्कृति अनेकतामा एकता र विविधताको संस्कृति पनि हो। आफ्नो संस्कृतिको रक्षा गर्नु हामी सबैको कर्तव्य हो।

My Dream
- Muskan Singh - 2023005, Grade ... 17 February, 2021

Each person has a dream in their life to achieve something when they grow up with their effort. Some people want to be rich whereas some want to buy something very big then some want to be a doctor or an engineer. But for achieving these dreams we have to work hard and be more efficient. In the paragraphs below I am going to discuss dreams and how we can achieve them. 

To turn our dreams into reality the first thing we should set up in our mind is determination towards it. This will help us greatly throughout the journey. Primarily I will decide the way that will lead me towards my aim. Besides that, I will also plan my journey ahead. This all helps to make things more clear and maintain the same pace that will ultimately help to achieve my dream.

Further, no matter how hard it is to do my planning and set goals to achieve what I want I will do it without hesitation. As we know that it’s important to pre-plan and set up, we will get nothing running after our dream without any agenda. Similarly, we must give our time to follow the process and work accordingly to achieve our dream. 

The deficit of encouragement is the center beget that coerces an individual to leave their dream. So it’s very necessary to be positive and encouraged so that we can be a part of our goal. And if we wouldn’t be able to stay positive then it’s gonna be really hard for us to achieve our dreams. Similarly, there are many people around us that demotivate us which will lead to quitting our dream, so we should avoid them and move ahead. 

Then similarly for the accomplishment of our dreams, we have to keep a thing in mind that sometimes it’s hard to time that may encourage us to quit our goal but we should stay positive and remember why we started. Sometimes if we feel messed up then we should restart with a fresh makeover. 

Then another thing is that we should reward ourselves timely. It should be like after a big milestone achievement or something we can simply reward ourselves when we achieve small targets and keep a small step towards our aim. These rewards can include small chocolate to some of your favorite materials. And it will be a motivation to us as well.

Similarly, working continuously day and night would not be right as well. Of course, there should be continuous efforts although we should take breaks and engage in other works like traveling or any other things so that we could get refreshment which is indeed very important.

The next thing is the people beside us also affect us. So we must be around positive people as negativity can distract us. So these are the few ways we can apply to achieve our dreams. I hope you have got some knowledge through my discussion.
