Introduction:

In the grand journey of understanding the world, we commonly experience two   different paths: science and spirituality. Science relies on experiments and observations and searches for tangible aspects of the real world. Spirituality includes the recognition of a feeling or belief that there is something greater than ourselves, which guides us through our life and includes a sense of connection that goes beyond what we can see and touch. Despite their contrasting differences, when these paths come together it forms an abundant understanding of our existence. 

Spirituality and religion: 

To go more deeper into the topic, the difference between spirituality and religion needs to be recognized. Spirituality and religion are two very different concepts, Religion usually focuses on worshiping a certain deity or following certain rules or rituals whilst Spirituality is about exploring your own connection and believing that there is something greater than ourselves, something more to being human than only living, broader significance of life. And that everything is divine in nature and we are a part of the greater whole. 

Science of spirituality; 

Moreover, science can be compared to a detective who is always driven by curiosity and an insatiable desire to acquire knowledge. For instance, the Hubble Space Telescope, a tool that allows scientists to delve into the mysteries of outer space and unravel astonishing discoveries about our vast universe. The amazing images that this camera captures, not only grows our knowledge but also evokes a profound sense of wonder and connection within us which is known to be magical. 

The common guard between spirituality and science is that both are concerned with understanding the fundamental nature of the universe and our place within it. 

Spirituality is belief while science is the proof of the same thing. When these two concepts combine it forms a greater understanding of the fundamental nature of the universe. Scientists use different tools and experiments to study those things that we can observe, measure and understand. Objects like telescopes, microscopes allow them to see tiny things to large galaxies. This helps them to know the world in a better way. On the other hand, spirituality absorbs the parts of life that are not measurable, visible, or tangible. It explores feelings, beliefs and experiences that are beyond what we see with our naked eyes.

While doing all the experiments, science and spirituality meet in the middle, quantum physics can be considered an example. This is a branch of science that studies things on a tiny scale, and its findings can seem to be a bit unbelievable and even spiritual sometimes. This makes scientists, spiritualists and common people ask big questions about the reality of nature, existence of life and overly opens doors to discussions including both scientific and spiritual perspective. 

Why should Spirituality and science work together? 

To understand why science and spiritualist collaboration can be beneficial, it is necessary to know that bringing together science and spirituality allows a more holistic (comprehensive) understanding of the world. In various aspects of life, findings of science and spirituality commonly offer a wealth of possibilities of understanding the world and fostering a more harmonious way of living. It resembles a world where people are mentally and physically well. Science focuses on how certain things work and what are those where spiritualists focus on why and delves to find deeper meanings.

Science helps us with our physical health by medicines or treatments they discover everyday that eventually makes our body better. It shows that our thoughts and feelings can affect our physical health. Whereas spirituality focuses on making our minds and emotions healthier. It helps us with things like peace, gratitude, and kindness. It also says that when we think positively and feel connected to something meaningful, it can make our bodies healthier. Collaboration of these two different but similar concepts can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling life, it can lead to innovative solutions and a deeper appreciation of complexity of existence.

I lay in my bed staring at the darkness of my room 

The petals fell off before the flower could bloom

The choice was always mine, I just chose wrong

In an attempt to soothe my woe, I sing this song

My nails colors have started to wear off

Having become a forest fire and the person watching it

Lived once in the ocean, now I am nothing but a shell 

With no one by my side, I have nothing left for myself 

The sounds of my own thoughts creep inside me every night

My body falling in pieces and my brain rotting away

My room is a mess and so is my life

I tell myself that I'll clean tomorrow 

My bag of bones is heavier every passing day

I wish my thoughts could spare me the night

Crying myself to sleep and painting myself blue

I'll have to go back to work tomorrow

शैक्षिक भ्रमणहरू विद्यार्थीहरूका लागि रमाइलो, रोमाञ्चक र जानकारीमूलक हुने गर्छन् । यो विद्यार्थीहरूको लागि उनीहरूको पाठ्यक्रम अध्ययन बाहिर अन्वेषण, सिक्ने र रमाइलो गर्ने मौका हाे ।

शैक्षिक भ्रमणको लागि मेरो विद्यालयले पुनहिल, घोरेपानी र घान्द्रुकमा ४ रात ५ दिने भ्रमण गर्ने योजना बनाएको थियो । हाम्रो देशको राजधानीको फराकिलो, सहज र आरामदायी जीवनमा धेरैजसो जीवन बिताउँदै, राजधानीबाहिर हाम्रो देशकाे अवस्था के रहेछ भनेर बुझ्ने, मनन गर्ने सुनाैलाे अवसर थियाे हाम्रा लागि । हामी निकै नै उत्सुक थियाैँ ।

२०७९ पुस २९ गते बिहान ६ बजे हामी विद्यालयमा भेला भयौँ । मैले याद गरें, मेरा सबै साथीहरूको अनुहारमा फरक प्रकारको अनुभूति थियो । तिनीहरू सबै यात्रामा जान धेरै उत्साहित थिए । कोरोना भाइरसका कारण हाम्रो विद्यालयले हामीलाई शैक्षिक भ्रमणका लागि बाहिर लैजान सकेन । त्यसकारण हाम्रो पहिलो पटक थियो र हाम्रो अनुहारमा खुशी र उत्साहको भाव व्याख्याभन्दा बाहिर थियो । हामी भेला भएर तयारी पूरा गरेपछि बिहान ७ बजेतिर स्कुलबाट निस्कियौँ, घण्टौँको सवारीपछि नौबिसे पार गरेर स्थानीय रेस्टुरेन्टमा रोकियौँ । हामी सबैले गहिरो सास लियौँ र चिया, कफी, हल्का खाजा खाएर ताजा भयौँ। त्यसपछि हामी सिधै मलेखुतर्फ लाग्यौँ जहाँ हामीले खाजा खायौँ। बादलको दिनमा त्रिशूली नदीको दृश्य मनमोहक थियो । आराम गरेर खाजा खाइसकेपछि हामी बाटोमा छोटो ब्रेक लिएर सिधै हिलतिर लाग्यौं। बेलुका साढे ६ बजेतिर हामी हाम्रो होटलमा हिले आइपुग्यौँ । रिफ्रेस भएपछि हामीले खाना खायौँ । बेलुका ८ बजेतिर हामी आगो बाल्यौँ र शिक्षक र कर्मचारीसँगै नाच्न थाल्यौँ । एक स्मरणीय साँझपछि, हामी हाम्राेतिर लाग्यौं र केही आराम गर्याैँ ।

दोस्रो दिन, हामी सबै लगभग ६ बजे उठ्यौं र तुरुन्तै ट्रेकको लागि तयार हुन थाल्यौं । हामीले बिहानको खाजा खायौं र सबै बाहिर जान तयार थियौँ । म, मेरा ६ जना साथीहरूसँग अन्तिमबाट सुरु गरेँ तर अन्ततः सबैलाई पछि पारेँ । करिब २ घण्टाको पैदल यात्रापछि हामीले हाम्रो गाइडलाई पनि ओभरटेक गर्यौं तर उहाँको दृश्यको दायरामा रह्यौं । गाउँ, पदयात्रा, पहाडहरू पार गर्दै, हाम्रो अगाडि अन्नपूर्ण हिमालको शृङ्खलासहितको नेपालको सौन्दर्यको रमाइलो गर्दै हामी सबैजना आराम र खाजाको लागि तिखेढुङ्गामा भेला भयौँ । हामी पहिले त्यहाँ पुग्यौँ र खाजा खाँदा सबैलाई पर्ख्यौँ। केही समय आराम गरेपछि हामी फेरि गन्तव्यतर्फ लाग्यौँ । हाम्रो समूह फेरि पहिलो भयो र हामी हिड्यौँ। नेपालको सुन्दरताको अनुभूति गर्दै, जङ्गल घुम्दै र नयाँ मान्छे भेट्दै, उनीहरुको हाम्रो भन्दा फरक जीवनशैलीको बारेमा सिक्दै हामी घोरेपानी आइपुग्यौँ । हाम्रो होटल एकदमै टुप्पोमा थियो, अन्नपूर्ण हिमालको शृङ्खला सुन्दर थियो । हामी त्यहाँ बस्यौँ र हाम्रा साथीहरू आउने प्रतीक्षा गर्दै आराम गर्यौँ। सबैजना आइपुगेपछि हामी आ-आफ्नो कोठातिर लाग्यौं र खाना खायौँ। लगभग ८ बजे, हामी सबै भेला भयौं, खाना खायौं र साँझ कुरा गर्दै र आफ्ना अनुभवहरू बतायौं । जब रातको १० बजेको थियो, तब हामी आ-आफ्नो कोठातिर लाग्यौं र सुत्‍यौँ ।

तेस्रो दिन बिहानै ४ बजेतिर हामी पुनहिलसम्म हिँड्न थाल्यौँ । करिब दुई/दुई घन्टा हिँडेर हामी त्यहाँ पुग्यौं र सूर्योदयको पर्खाइमा थियौं। घाम उदाएपछि र अन्नपूर्ण हिमाल सुनौलो हुँदै जाँदा हामी सबै छक्क परेका थियौँ नेपाल कति ठूलो र सुन्दर छ । हामी सबैले दृश्यको आनन्द लियौं, तस्बिरहरू खिच्यौंँ र त्यसपछि भेला भएर आफ्नो होटलमा फर्कियौँ । बिहानको खाजा खाएपछि हामी हिले फर्कियौँ । दिनभरि हिँडेर बेलुकी ५ बजे हिले पुग्यौँ र खाना खायौँ । राति परेपछि खाना खाएर सुत्थ्यौँ ।

चौथो दिन बिहान सबेरै घान्द्रुक जान बस चढ्यौँ । घान्द्रुक जाने सडकको अवस्था पहिलो पटकका लागि त्यति अनुकूल थिएन तर हामी बिस्तारै त्यहाँ पुग्यौं। घान्द्रुक निकै सुन्दर थियो । केही समय होटलमा आराम गरेर गाउँ घुम्न थाल्यौं । हाम्रा प्रिन्सिपलले हामीलाई छोटो दूरीको लागि मात्र छोड्न दिनुभयो र हामीले मन्दिरहरू, मानिसहरू, चिया बगान र अरू धेरै देख्यौं। राति परेपछि, हामीले आगो बाल्यौं र त्यसपछि नाच्यौँ। नाचिसकेपछि, हामी हाम्रो होटलमा फर्कियौँ, खाना खायौँ र त्यसपछि हाम्रो यात्रा कति चाँडो समाप्त भयो भनेर सोच्दै रातको लागि सुत्यौँ।

पाँचौं दिन, बिहान सबेरै हामी काठमाडौँ फर्कने बाटोमा बसमा चढ्यौँ। सबैजनाले हामीलाई दिएको न्यानो आतिथ्य र दृश्यहरूको आनन्द उठाए । फर्किदा पोखरामा डुङ्गा चलाउन रोकियौं । त्यस पछि हामी सिधै काठमाडौंतर्फ लाग्यौँ । राति ८ बजेतिर हामी काठमाडौं आइपुग्यौँ । हामीमध्ये कोही पनि छोड्न चाहँदैनथ्याे त्याे पल तर हामीले अन्त्यमा छाेड्नैपर्थ्याे नै ।

धेरै स्मरणीय यात्रापछि हामी सबैले थाहा पायौँ कि नेपालले हामीलाई वास्तवमै के देख्न छोडेको थियो । त्यो यो सुन्दर देशले देखाउन सक्ने एउटा सानो अंश मात्र थियो । हामी सबै धेरै खुसी भयौँ र हाम्रो एसइई परीक्षाको तयारी गर्न थाल्यौँ।

पर्यटन गतिविधि, सेवा र उद्योगहरूको एक सङ्ग्रह हो, जसले यात्रा अनुभव प्रदान गर्दछ, यातायात, आवास, खाने र पिउने प्रतिष्ठानहरू, खुद्रा पसलहरू, मनोरञ्जन व्यवसायहरू, गतिविधि सुविधाहरू र घरबाट टाढा यात्रा गर्ने व्यक्ति वा समूहहरूका लागि सुविधा उपलब्ध गराउँछ। 

नेपाल सानो तर आकर्षक राष्ट्र हो । हाम्रो देशको लागि महत्त्वपूर्ण उद्योग पर्यटन हुन सक्छ। तराई र हिमालय क्षेत्रका राष्ट्रिय निकुञ्जहरू, सगरमाथा, सदाबहार हिमाली नदीहरू, हिमनदीहरू, विशाल तालहरू, रमणीय उपत्यकाहरू र मनमोहक झरनाहरू पर्यटकका लागि आकर्षण हुन् । अबको आकर्षण गौतम बुद्धको जन्म भएको ठाउ लुम्बिनी हुन सक्छ । यी सबै प्राकृतिक स्रोतहरू हाम्रो पर्यटन क्षेत्रको विकासको लागि महत्त्वपूर्ण छन् । विभिन्न प्रकारका पर्यटकहरू नेपाल आउँछन् । आगन्तुकहरू यस क्षेत्रको प्राकृतिक स्रोतहरू हेर्न वा यसको ऐतिहासिक र धार्मिक स्थलहरूको बारेमा जान्न आउँछन् ।

अन्य उद्योग स्थापना गर्न धेरै पैसा चाहिन्छ। यद्यपि, हाम्रो प्राकृतिक सौन्दर्य पर्यटकहरूको लागि प्रमुख आकर्षणको रूपमा काम गर्न सक्छ। पर्यटनका फाइदाहरू प्रत्यक्ष र अप्रत्यक्ष दुवै प्रकारका छन् । हामी पहिले होटलबाट सुरु गर्न सक्छौँ। हामी हाम्रा उत्पादनहरू बजारमा ल्याउन सक्छौँ। किसान आफैँले आफ्नो कृषि सामान बेच्ने अवसर छ।

तर केही आगन्तुकहरू आपराधिक प्रकृतिका हुन सक्छन् र उनीहरूले चाहेको बेला अपराध गर्छन् । यसले हाम्रो स्थापित संस्कृतिलाई असर गर्न सक्छ । यी सबैका लागि सुरक्षा व्यवस्था कडा हुनु आवश्यक छ, र हामीले अत्यधिक सावधानी अपनाउन आवश्यक छ । 

यो महत्त्वपूर्ण छ किनभने यसले शहरी क्षेत्रमा बसोबास गर्ने गरिब वा यातायातमा पहुँच नभएका हाम्रा नागरिकहरूलाई धेरै अवसरहरू दिन्छ । यदि सरकारले हाम्रो राष्ट्रलाई प्रभावकारी रूपमा प्रवर्द्धन गर्न सक्छ भने, पर्यटकको वृद्धिले हाम्रो अर्थतन्त्रलाई मद्दत गर्ने छ । 

What is Censorship?

Censorship refers to blocking or redacting information so people cannot access it. Censorship is implemented to redact harmful, misleading, or offensive content. Censorship is not just limited to the internet. It can be carried out in movies, songs, books, and newspapers as well. People need to be protected from any propaganda, hate speech, or misleading content. This is why countries have adopted policies to censor certain content that they deem harmful to their people. Censorship is a powerful tool. When done right, it brings peace and tranquility. However, if it is misused, it can start conflicts and bring civil unrest.

Nepal’s Controversial History of Censorship

The Constitution of Nepal outlaws all censorship in media. The constitution provides freedom of expression to citizens of Nepal. But in the years 2001-2002, due to the rising political opinions of many journalists, King Gynendra suspended the freedom of expression by censoring all the news headlines that talked badly of the government. Due to this, thousands of journalists were arrested by the authorities. This was a dark time for the people whose right to freedom of expression was being. 

The advent of democracy reinstalled the freedom of expression to the people. However, it still is heavily debated since there are many cases of popular news headlines by journalists being censored due to their content. Therefore, the situation is still in a gray area due to its unpredictable nature even to this day.

Censorship in the Internet and Cinema

The internet is controlled by the government here in Nepal. Any content that is deemed inappropriate will be censored for Nepalese citizens using the internet. This poses a dangerous threat to everyone since the government’s control of the internet causes freedom of speech to be suppressed. Some information may also be censored if the government deems it inappropriate. Many articles by journalists, some pages in Wikipedia, and websites of foreign news networks are blocked by the government of Nepal.

Social media is also heavily restricted. The recent TikTok ban on the 13th of November caused many discussions and sparked international debate. The government of Nepal has stated that the reason for the ban was due to the ‘Disruption of social harmony’.

Other social media sites also are not away from the government's control. Popular sites like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and X are also not safe from being censored by the government. It is ultimately very hard to find information that is censored by the government on the internet. It can only be accessed by using digital loopholes. The use of VPNs is also widely practiced by Nepalese citizens to evade the government's grasp.

The authorization of Films is also carried out by the government of Nepal. There are many reasons for films to be censored in Nepal. The reasons can be:

·                     Excess violence

·                     Gore

·                     Offensive language/hate speech

·                     Erotic/Lewd content

·                     Offense to religion

·                     Politically biased opinion

·                     Misinformation or propaganda

·                     Culture clash 

These are some of the reasons for a film being heavily censored or outright banned in Nepal. A recent example is the movie “Oppenheimer” which had two minutes of a scene censored. The main reason for this is the nudity present in the scene. This is why many people are dissatisfied with the government's choice to censor certain media. 

Nepal is a secular state even though the majority of its population is Hindu. For instance, Komal Oli is a famous singer and her songs are very popular. Her songs would be played on Radio Nepal due to their sheer popularity. Her Teej song was banned by the government for its erotic and abusive lyrics. In the song, she used the word ‘Badmas’ to refer to lord Shiva which was taken as offensive by the government and was banned.

Censorship for Political Advantage

There are many instances where the government has abused its power to censor media expressing political thoughts, ideas, or criticism. Pashupati Sharma is a famous Nepalese folk singer whose songs are widely listened to by the people. He has many hit songs. One of those songs was called, “Lutna Sake Lut Kancha”. This song was targeted at misconduct of the government of Nepal. The song said that Nepal is the only country where the government is free to loot people. This song has now been removed by the government.

Due to these actions, it is clear that the government does not hesitate to censor any media talking badly about the current political system. Any journalist who wants to expose or talk badly about the government is not free to do so. This leads to the same political parties being voted in over and over again.

Consequences: Silencing the Population

The consequences of censorship in Nepal are obvious. However, censorship is not the main issue here. The main issue is how censorship is being handled. We have seen that censorship is being misused. It has caused our freedom of expression to be controlled by the government, which in turn, is causing the population to be silenced.

It is without a doubt that if we don’t solve this problem, a dark future will await us. A future where every action of the population is being controlled by the government and your digital footprint can cause you to be persecuted. We need to act now for things to change, for the greater good.

“Peak performance in life isn’t about succeeding all the time or even being happy all the time. It’s often about compensating, adjusting, and doing the best you can with what you have right now.” -  Ken Ravizza

Introduction 

In the world of sports, the good athletes and great athletes are often differentiated by their psychology. Peak performance not only includes physical powers but it is dependent on mental strength and resilience. It’s not a switch button that an athlete can switch on before the match, instead it's a mindset that guides an athlete’s actions in every point of the game. Understanding the psychology of those individuals can unlock the door to excellence and success for many athletes, and helps them achieve remarkable results. 

Relation between Mind-body

As we know, a healthy environment leads to healthy life. Similarly, a healthy mind leads to a healthy body and vice versa. So in order to acquire the psychology of a peak performer, it is crucial to acknowledge the relationship between the mind and the body. Therefore, here are some psychological factors that contribute to peak performance: 

1. Self Confidence: Confidence is the center point for a peak performer. Unless one believes in his/her abilities, it's hard for them to achieve their desired goals. Failure has more to do with lack of belief rather than lack of skills. Peak performance is often guided by self confidence, as it's within themselves which keeps them motivated and performing at their best.  So building confidence involves positive thinking and the ability to bounce back from setbacks and the past. 
2. Visualization: If you can’ see then you can’t hit. Visualization and mental imagery are powerful tools for athletes. They have the “Big picture” in the mind they build up to accomplish their goals. It's necessary for one to understand the role of visualization in their career as they are able to see the future that lies ahead of them. 
3. Resilience: Peak performers are not afraid of falling or taking risks at the turning points. Everyone steps out of their comfort zone in order to achieve their goals. Instead of playing safe, they lay on the line even though the outcome may not be the same they had expected. An unsuccessful attempt will surely reward us with better and smarter abilities. 
4. Stress management: It is the ability to practice techniques and strategies to effectively handle and reduce stress and anxiety. In most cases, athletes often experience stress before, during and after competitions, which affects their performance. Techniques such as deep breathing, mindfulness, and progressive muscle relaxation can help athletes stay calm and work under pressure during the matches. 

Case study

Cristano Ronaldo, a football player, exemplifies the significance of the psychology of peak performance. His remarkable performance isn’t solely dependent on physical strength instead its mental resilience and discipline. The visualization, goals, self-confidence all these skills make him an excellent player and perform at the highest level. 

Moreover, basketball sensation Michale Jordan is another example. His mental strength, competitive field of view, and legendary ethics makes him one of the greatest players. The ability to stay calm and focused in every point allowed him to achieve the goals that he had wished for. 

Conclusion 

It's important for an athlete to recognize the need or crucial role of mental strength in achieving outstanding results. For me, it's not about winning everything, rather it's about being disciplined and training the mind to be different like mentioned above. Visualizing every obstacle, setting goals, maintaining stress, being self-confident, and building resilience helps to achieve peak performance. Overall, understanding these psychologies can help athletes of any level to play at their best

Introduction 

The prominent aspect that separates us humans from any other creature in this world is our communication and the development of language. Language is the most powerful weapon ever made. It is through the language that the information is being conveyed, and we have come to this level of advancement. The only purpose of language is also the same to spread awareness and develop understanding. Any language in this world does the same.

As a multilingual person myself, I would often question why I and many others in this world have to learn English. The young me was indeed curious but did not have an answer. Now that I have learned the reasons I have been able to sum up the question with one answer and that is to understand and communicate with the majority of people. But to dig deep and understand the question thoroughly, I would like to present a few points:

Universal language

The primary motivation to learn English or speak English lies in its status of being a universal language. It is widely practiced and almost accepted all over the world. English, being comprehensible to a vast audience, acts as a conduit for effective expression and communication. Essentially, practicing English fosters unity and brotherhood. It is due to its universal appeal that it transcends barriers allowing people to share ideas, thoughts and emotions seamlessly.  The advantages of having a universal language extend beyond mere communication. Ability to speak English offers a wide range of opportunities ranging from employment prospects to travel experiences and global connectivity.

Education and Academic Dominance 

The vast majority of research papers, conferences and scientific publications were conducted in English. This implies that the potential students willing to contribute in research and education sectors have to have an ability with English. There are several scientific  terms and references that are only accessible using English. The very reason why in many prestigious universities English is a prerequisite to have. Without having the ability to comprehend English limits scholars with wide resources and information.

Global Business and Employment Opportunities

Learning English opens doors for individuals to a global job market, providing diverse employment opportunities and the ability to work in different countries and across cultures. English serves as the common platform for people across the cultures and diversities to project and discuss ideas and strategies clearly and efficiently. This helps in attending the better understanding of targeted subjects and results in better cooperation and output.

Technology

Similar to business English is the common platform to the people engaged in technology. Tech industry consists of people and contributors worldwide. These people bringing advancements are diverse and have differences. So English provides them an opportunity where everyone is equal and can convey their ideas, strategies and discoveries .English enables individuals to participate in global tech communities, extend networks, collaborate in open source projects and stay at the forefront of technological developments.

Globalization and Global fraternity

As globalization is the reality we live in, we are all aware how interconnected our world is. And how we are not very different in experiencing similar problems like any other person coming from whatever background. It is a key element that fosters better understanding, developing connections, transcending barriers, and promoting humanity. English enables individuals and groups to be a part of an interconnected and interdependent world . It actually serves a medium for individuals willing to actively participate in global dialog whether in business, academia, and overall development. 

Conclusion

With the above points I think it is quite clear that English has an indispensable impact in our lives. And learning English enables people to thrive to diverse potentials and experiences. English is a gateway to collaborations, connections, interactions, communication and numerous opportunities. While recognizing the insane advantages of English as a language this does not mean one should disregard their own culture by stating it as inferior. We have to appreciate our culture that makes us stand out in the world but in the process we must be open to the agents and mediums like the English language that fosters unity and brotherhood by somewhat reducing differences prevailed in individuals and groups.

बच्चामा आफ्नो परवाह नगरी हुर्काए 

जति नै गाह्राे पर्दा पनि हात थामेर साथ आए 

नराम्रो गर्दा थप्पड लगाई कराए 

गलतलाई गलत र सहीलाई सही भनि सम्झाए । 

सायद त्यही नै थियो तपाईंको प्रेम जुन मैले बुझ्न सकिन

कसरी तिरूँ ऋण तपाईंको

माफ गर्दिनु केही दिन सकिन

बुबा आमा तपाईं यो संसारमै महान् 

दिनुभयो मलाई साहस, हिम्मत र प्रेमको ज्ञान 

आउनुभयॊ तपाईं यो सहर ल्याई जम्मा एउटा बोरा रे 

तपाईको नाक ठूलो बनाउँछ तपाइको यो छोराले 

त्यो बेला परिश्रम गर्नुभयो खानु भएन हार 

तपाई‌कै मेहेनतले आज चढी हिड्न पाएको छु मैले कार 

गरे गल्ति सम्झा भाे परे पिट्नु पनि भयो होला 

तपाईंको त्यही मायाले आज सफल भाको छ यो छोरा 

त्यो बेला लाग्थ्यो कुट्नुहुन्छ मलाई के माया छैन र 

अहिले थाहा हुँदै 

सफा गर्नु भाको रैछ हुन लागेको रैचु म फोहोर 

कति पैसा गयो तपाई‌ंको परिश्रम पनि मलाई पढाउन 

म चाहिँ आल्छि गर्थेँ तपाई‌ंको पैसा सकाउन 

बैस लाग्यो मलाई अज्ञानी म थाले तपाई‌ंलाई हप्काउन 

गल्ती भयो भिख माग्दै छु तपाई‌ंबाट माफ पाउन 

थिएन मेरो मन कालो सधैँ थिए गोराे 

माफ चाहिँ दिनु मलाई भए म अज्ञानी छोरा 

अल्लि पख्नू बाबा हजुरको नाम म उच्च पर्छु ।।

Oh blimey,

What a thing to be seen.

A young child scattered within dreams.

A dream of wander, 

Mind so free, sight captivated in a glee,

Such innocence never failed to be believed. 

They dance with fairies and chase butterflies,

With everything to do, the world is their prize. 

Let them dream, 

For dreams have the power to redeem.

Within their dreams will they discover,

The strength to overcome and uncover.

In the realm of imagination, they find,

The courage to chase dreams of every kind.

Their visions might shape a world anew

A world ‘one of a kind’

Where possibilities might brew.

So let them dream, 

For dreams will they find a way,

Guided, will seize their day. 

विद्यार्थी जीवनमा ठूलो भूमिका खेल्ने मुख्य परीक्षा एसइई । हाम्रो परीक्षा हुँदा सबैमा डर थियो तर बिस्तारै हामी बानी पर्यौं ।  एक हप्ता र केही दिनपछि अन्ततः परीक्षा समाप्त भयो । परीक्षापछि सबैले बाहिर जाने र रमाइलो गर्ने योजना बनाए र हामी गयौँ पनि । 

परीक्षाका अन्तिम दिन लगभग ९:३० बजे हामीले परीक्षा समाप्त गर्यौं र लगभग १० बजे हामी सबै रमाइलो गर्न निस्कियौँ । हामीसँग तीन महिनाको छुट्टी थियो । ३ महिना बिदा भए पनि नतिजा देखेर सबै डराए । मलाई विश्वास थियो,  मेरो राम्रो परीक्षा हुने छ । गरेकी छु तर पनि मनै त कहाँ मान्थ्याे र !  भित्रभित्रै एक प्रकारकाे डर थियाे नै । जे होस् हामी साथीहरूसँग बाहिर निस्कियौं र समूह अलग भयो । आधा त्यहाँ आधा यहाँ हामी कहाँ जाने निश्चित थिएन त्यसैले म र मेरा दुई साथीहरू कतै जाने निर्णय गर्याैँ । मेरो एक साथीले भाग्ने कोठामा जाने निर्णय गरे र हामी सहमत भयौं तर हामीलाई लैजानु पर्ने साथीलाई त्यो ठाउँको बाटो थाहा थिएन। हामी डेढ घण्टा जति धेरै नचिने ठाउँहरू हिँड्यौं र त्यहाँका मानिसहरूलाई मोबाइल सोधेर ठाउँ खोज्यौँ । 

हामी अन्ततः ठाउँमा पुग्यौं र त्यो बन्द भयो। त्यसपछि हामीले भोक लागेकोले केही खाने निर्णय गर्यौं। हामी नजिकैको क्याफेमा गएर खाना खायौं। त्यसपछि हामी साथीको घरमा गयौं किनभने हाम्रो घर नजिकै भएकोले हाम्रा आमाबुवाले खासै वास्ता गर्नुभएन र म ६ वा ६:३० बजे घर पुगेँ । परीक्षापछिको पहिलो दिन राम्रो भयो र मैले धेरै रमाइलो गरेँ ।

केही दिनको लागि म १० मा ब्युँझेँ किनभने म पढ्नको लागि दैनिक ४ बजे उठ्थेँ । मैले बिहानको खाजा खाएँ र त्यस दिन केही गर्नुभएन किनकि सबै व्यस्त थि । सुतेको कारण सबै थाकेका थिए र मोबाइल हेरेर दिन बर्बाद गरेँ । मैले पहिले जस्तै साथीहरूसँग कुरा गरे तर सबैलाई थाहा थियो कि हाम्रो सम्बन्ध बिस्तारै टुट्ने छ। तर मैले अझै म्यासेज गरिरहे र मेरा ती दुई साथीहरूले बाहिर जाने निर्णय गरे र हामी प्राय: धेरै दिनको लागि बाहिर गयौं । अहिलेसम्म आधा बिदा बितिसकेको थियो अब २ वटा मात्रै बाँकी थियो । बिस्तारै मेरा साथीहरूले के अध्ययन गर्ने भनेर निर्णय गर्न थाले र मैले पनि यो सोच्नु पर्यो। अब मसँग व्यवस्थापन र विज्ञान बीचको विकल्प थियो । धेरै सोचेर मैले विज्ञानको लागि ब्रिजकोज पढ्ने निर्णय गरेँ र मेरो एक साथी ब्राइडकोर्समा गए । अबदेखि एक फरक जीवन सुरु भयो। ब्रिजकोरको पहिलो दिन र हामीले अध्ययन गर्यौं र नयाँ साथीहरू बनायौँ र रमाइलो गर्यौँ।  पढाइले दिन बित्दै थियो र बिदा पनि घट्दै गयो । 

मैले विषय छनोट गर्ने निर्णय गर्नुपर्‍यो र काउन्सिलिङको लागि कलेज पनि खुल्न थाले । मैले विज्ञान पढ्ने निर्णय गरे र म र मेरो साथीले सिफल स्कुल जाने निर्णय गरेँ र हामी काउन्सिलिङका लागि गयौँ । कलेज राम्रो थियो तर म अझै यसको लागि तयार थिइनँ  तर पनि मैले प्रवेश परीक्षा दिए र म पास भएँ । म काउन्सिलिङका लागि अन्य कलेजमा पनि गइनँ र केही हप्तापछि सिफल स्कुलमा भर्ना भएँ ।

ती हप्ताहरू बीचमा मैले मेरा साथीहरूसँग बाहिर जाँदा रमाइलो गरेँ र अद्भूत सम्झनाहरू थिए । सबैजना फरक फरक कोलाजमा आउन थाले र हामी सबै अलग भयौँ । मैले मेरो स्कुलको साथी एउटै कलेजमा पाए पनि हामी अब कुरा गर्दैनौँ । बिस्तारै धेरै हप्तापछि मेरा साथीहरू कलेज गर्न थाले र सबैले फरक जीवन सुरु गरेँ । हाम्रो बाटो फरक भए पनि म हाम्रा सुन्दर सम्झनाहरू सम्झन्छु र मेरा साथीहरूलाई सम्झन्छु । मेरो कोलाज सुरु भयो र म पनि त्यसमा गएँ र पहिलो दिनमा मैले मेरा पुराना साथीहरूलाई नराम्ररी मिस गरिरहेको थिएँ । बिस्तारै धेरै हप्तापछि मैले मेरा प्रत्येक नयाँ साथीहरूसँग चिना परिचय आदानप्रदान गरेँ  

दिनहरू रमाइला अनि बेग्लै अनुभूतसहित बितिरहेछन् । 

बाकीँ अनुभव अर्काे लेखमा ल !

 लागि राम्रो बस्ने ठाउँ र वातावरण चाहिन्छ।  यदि पर्यटकको लागि राम्रो बस्ने ठाउँ भएन भने उनीहरू नेपाल आउँन छाेड्छन् । त्यो कुरा न हुन दिनको लागि हामीले राम्रो ठाउँहरूको निर्मानेपाल पर्यटनकाे राम्राे सम्भावना बाेकेकाे देश हाे । कुनै पनि देशले आर्थिक रूपमा छिटाे विकास गर्न चाहन्छ भने त्यसले पर्यटनको महत्त्व बुझेर पर्यटकका लागि चाहिने सबै पूर्वाधारकाे विकासमा लाग्नुपर्छ । नेपालमा सन् १९६० को दशक अगाडि पर्यटन उद्योग वा व्यवसायबाट हुने आम्दानीलाई त्यति महत्त्व दिइएको थिएन । त्यसपछि प्रायः सबैजसो देशहरूले यसलाई वैदेशिक मुद्रा आर्जन गर्ने मुख्य माध्यम ठाने, र अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय पर्यटन गतिविधि तीव्र रूपमा अगाडि बढ्यो । तब यसले आन्तरिक विकास बढाएको, देशको गार्हस्थ उत्पादन, प्रतिव्यक्ति आय, राष्ट्रिय आय बढाउनुका साथै ठुला तथा घरेलु उद्योग र उत्पादनमा वृद्धि गराउन थाल्याे । पर्यटककाे वृद्धिसँगै बेरोजगारी समस्या कम हुने र प्रत्यक्ष रूपमा आर्थिक क्रियाकलापहरूमासमेत यसले प्रभाव पार्न थाल्याे ।  त्यसपछि पर्यटन क्षेत्रकाे महत्त्व बढ्दै जान पनि थाल्याे ।

खास गरी पर्यटन व्यवसायबाट नेपालजस्ता देशहरूले भरपुर फाइदा लिन सक्छन् । पर्यटन क्षेत्रले नेपालकाे राष्ट्रिय आम्दानीमा वृद्धि भइरहेको छ । हाम्रो देश नेपाल सुन्दरताकाे खानी हाे । हाम्राे देशलाई प्रकृतिले धेरै कुरा दिएकाे छ । विश्वका हिमालहरूमध्ये धेरै अग्ला हिमालहरू नेपालमै रहेका छन् । यी हिमालले नेपालकाे सुन्दरता बढाउने काम गरेका छन् । यस्तै यहाँका हरिया वनजङ्गल र सुन्दर पहाडले पर्यटककाे मन लाेभ्याएका छन् । नेपालका विभिन्न ताल खाेलानाला झरना आदि हेर्नका लागि बर्सेनि विभिन्न स्वदेशी तथा  विदेशी पर्यटककाे भिड लाग्ने गर्छ । त्यसैले नेपाल पर्यटनकाे राम्राे सम्भावना बाेकेकाे मुलुक हाे । 

नेपालका विभिन्न कला संस्कृति र रहनसहनले पनि पर्यटककाे मन तान्छ र उनीहरूकाे राेजाइमा नेपाल सुन्दर र घुम्नलायक ठाउँ  हाे । हाम्रा प्राकृतिक सौन्दर्यले पर्यटकहरूका लागि प्रमुख आकर्षणको रूपमा काम गर्न सक्छन् । पर्यटकहरू एक प्रकारका प्रमुख आर्थिक गतिविधि हुन् ।  यसले राज्यको राजस्व, उत्पादन र अर्थतन्त्र बढाउने पर्यटन आयआर्जनकाे राम्राे स्राेत हाे । पर्यटन उद्योग नेपालको सबैभन्द ठुलो उद्योग हाे भन्न सकिन्छ । पर्यटकीय पूर्वाधारको विकास गरी पर्यटकीय गन्तव्य, बस्ने ठाउँको विकास र पुराना ठाँउहरूको मर्मत गरी पर्यटनलाई व्यवसायकाे रूपमा विस्तार गर्नु सबै नागरिककाे कर्तव्य हाे । 

नेपाल एउटा विकसित  भैरहेको देश हो । पर्यटन सेवा  पनि एउटा मुख्य कारण हो जसले नेपालको निर्माण को लागि धेरै मदत गरेको देखिन्छ । पर्यटन सेवाले देशमा धेरै बिदेशी पैसा भित्रिने गर्दछ ती पैसाले नेपाल विकसित गर्न धेरै मद्दत गरेको छ ।  

नेपालमा धेरै हिमाल पहाड झरनाहरू छ।  यी प्राकृतिक कुराहरू हेर्नको लागि धेरै विदेशीहरू नेपाल भित्रिने गर्दछन् । उनीहरू  नेपालमा आएर हिमालहरू चड्ने , र्‍याफ्टिङ गर्नेजस्ता विभिन्न कामहरू गरेको देख्न सक्छाैँ ।  उनीहरू  यी प्राकृतिक सुन्दरता हेर्नको लागि मात्र नभएर नेपालका चाड र संस्कृतिको मज्जा लिनको लागि पनि नेपाल आउने गर्दछन्।  यी कुराहरूबाट आएको पैसाले नै धेरै जसो कुराहरू नेपालमा विकसित  हुँदै गैरहेको देख्न सकेका छौँ ।  पर्यटनको मद्दतले गर्दाखेरि बिदेशीहरले हाम्रो देशको संस्कृति सिक्छन् र चाडपर्वको बारेमा सिक्छन् ।  उनीहरूले यो कुरा देखेको कारणले गर्दा नेपालको बारेमा अरू  देशका मानिसले पनि धेरै जानकारी पाउने गर्दछन् । यसले गर्दाखेरि झन् धेरै पर्यटकहरू नेपाल भित्रिने गर्दछन् । याे देशका लागि फाइदाकाे कुरा पनि हुने छ ।  

पर्यटक नेपालमा आएर मात्र हुँदैन उनीहरूकोण गर्ने र राम्रो होटेलहरू बनाउनु पर्ने छ। यदि यी कुराहरू नेपालमा निर्माण गरियो भने पर्यटनको क्षेत्र आजै बढ्ने छ ।
