Expensive Hesitation

I was standing outside the door and about to knock when I heard my mother crying inside. I knocked twice wishing everything would be fine inside.

Dada came to the door. I did not have the courage to go into the living room, so I went to my room. But Mamu and Baba were there and Dada joined them. I saw my cigarettes in front of them.

Baba asked angrily, "What is this?"

I was speechless. Mamu started crying. Baba asked again,"What is this, son?" I remained silent.

Then Dada kicked me and shouted,"Answer the question, idiot."

I had no answer. Baba asked again. I decided to beg for forgiveness but Dada started beating me. I kicked him too.

In no time we were fighting. Baba tried to stop us but we didn't. Then i saw Baba lying on the floor. He had suffered a heart attack.

At the hospital the doctor came and asked, "Are you his children? Have you done Bratamandha?"

It was then I questioned myself why i had hesitated to say 'no' when my friends asked me to smoke.

मानब जातिको एकालाप !

हे प्रकृती, म मान्छे हु, मान्छे ! मलाई तर्साउने तिम्रो औकत नै के छ र ? तिम्रो आफ्ठ्यारा स्वोरुपलाई सुन्दर बनएको म, तिमीसँग किन डरउने ? तिमीले त हजारबार धम्कयौ मलाई, तर्सायौ; अब तिम्रो आर्को नाटकले बिचल्ली हुन्छु जस्तो कसरी लाग्यो तिमीलाई ? मेरो त बच्नुको केवल एक आधारछ, त्यस्लाई पनि तहसनहस बनायौ तिमीले | तिम्रो षड्यन्त्रको मुल्य तिमीले नै तिर्नुपर्ने छ | केही दिन पछी म फेरी उठ्नेछु, मेरो जिव्नुको आधर 'पैसा' लाई फेरी पनि बिउझाउने छु, बल्झाउने छु | अनि हेर्दै जाउ, यो संसार तिम्रो हिसाब्ले होईन, मेरो हिसाबले चल्नेछ | मेरा नबिन सिर्जनले तिम्रो एकाधिकारलाई तोड्ने छ, म जित्ने छु अनि प्रकृती तिमी हार्नेछौ | #COVID19

Need to understand exam stress

Most students fears of examinations. It causes tension due to which many cannot concentrate on what they are studying. Many students also suffer from many health problems like headaches, stomach pain, loss of appetite, sleeplessness and frustration during exam time. Though such problems are common among students, neither the parents nor teachers seem concerned about it. Most of the boarding schools in Kathmandu focus on the syllabus of board examinations and prepare their students accordingly. Parents only want good marks in all subjects and ignore their children's problems. The pressure to perform well in examinations is so high that they start panicking. It is necessary to understand students psychology and act accordingly. Both teachers and parents should be a bit liberal to students during exam time. Any type of physical or mental torture should be avoided. The system of taking examination should also ...

The power of prayers.

My father prayed a lot, every year, every month, every day and most of the time, multiple times in a day, in morning, daytime and evening. But, what have he achieved from it? First, his commitment towards spirituality has given him a hope. A hope that everything will get better and better in his surroundings. His prayers have kept him strong, moral and optimist, through which he has been able to fight all his physical and mental problems. All his energy gets rejuvenate with the prayer and faith. Second, prayers have certainly worked in our case too. By ‘us’, I mean my brother and I. Upbrought in a harsh family situation with very limited opportunities (of course, it is comparative) were available, he and his prayers have pushed us to break our boundary of success in very short period. And along with our hard work, his prayer and faith has worked well. So, what is the takeaway? Prayers and faith are like water hitting a rock and making the transformation in it. It has a poten...
