What and who influence the life



Life is an ever-evolving tapestry of influences and experiences, each thread is woven together to create the unique story of who we are. From the cultural practices passed down through generations, to the conversations and perspectives shared among friends, every aspect of our lives shapes our thoughts and actions. For me, one of the most powerful influences in my life has been my mother. Her unwavering spirit and constant encouragement to learn from the past and seize the present have been a guiding light for me. But she is not the only one who has had a profound impact on my life.

Mr. Karna Shakya, a successful businessman, and the author has also played a vital role in shaping my perspective on life. His book, "Soch," opened my eyes to the realization that there is always a solution to be found, and the key is to approach problems with a positive mindset. From the words of famous figures to the impact of films and literature, the influences in our lives are countless. But what truly propels us forward is the confidence born from our own experiences. Each obstacle we overcome, and each problem we solve, adds to our inner strength and self-assurance.

As we journey through life, we encounter countless challenges and obstacles, but with confidence as our companion, we can navigate through them with grace and determination. It is this self-assurance that guides us toward the path of success and helps us to become the best version of ourselves. We may not be able to control the influences and experiences that shape our lives, but we can control how we respond to them, and that is what truly makes all the difference.

पर बाट देशलाई हेर्दा।

परदेश बाट देशलाई हेर्दा। हाम्रो आफ्नै भुगोल छ। भाषा छ। आफ्नै धर्म छ। देवता छ्न आफ्नै। नभएको त बुझाइ मात्र हो। आफ्नै इतिहास छ। भित्तामा आफ्नै पात्रो छ। गति आफ्नै छ। नभएको त गति तिब्र मात्र हो। सन्सार हेर्नलाई सगरमाथा छ। फेर्नको लागि सफा हावा छ। अन्नको लागि तराइको फाट छ। भिमकाय पहाड छ्न, खानी छ, मुलको पानी छ  नहुनु पर्ने चाँइ हैरानी मात्र हो। आफ्नै गित छ्न संगीत छ्न। गायक छ्न गायिका छ्न। चलचित्र पनि आफ्नै छ्न। हिरो छ्न, हिरोईन छ्न। खड्किन थालेको चाइ आफ्नै कथा हो। हामी सग के छैन? हामीसग हिड्नलाई बाटो छ। पुरानो सभ्यताको पाटो छ। आफैले आर्जेको देशको माटो छ। नहुन पर्ने चाइ जात-धर्मको नाउँमा फाटो हो। हेर्ने हो भने हामी सग पहिला नै धेरै कुरा छ्न। बिधुतको लागि खोला-नदि छ्न। पर्यटनको लागि सुन्दर  प्रकृति छ। सन्तुलित हावा पानी छ। न बनाय हुने भनेको दुत्सित मात्र हो। बिद्यालय छ्न। बिश्वबिद्धालय छ्न। बिध्या पिठ छ्न। बिद्यार्थी छ्न( अहिले सम्म) खड्किएको भनेको देशलाइ चाहिने पाठ्यक्रम र पठन पाठन हो। सानो भूगोल भैकन पनि हाम्रो देश सग धेरै कुरा छ। हिमाल छ।  हिमालमा हिउँ छ( अहिले सम्म) सबै हिमाल विशाल छ्न।

मेरो साधारण बुझाइ, यो दौड हो कि भागदौड ?

मेरो साधारण बुझाइ,  यो दौड हो कि भागदौड ? जिजुबुवाहरु कतै जानुभएन। धेरै हिड्नु पर्ने बाटो अप्ठ्यारो भएर हो कि वा आफ्नै माटोमा सबै थोक देखेर हो, गाउँ घर तिरै रमाउनु भयो। हजुरबा पुस्ता अलि पर  भारत बर्मा सम्म पुग्नु भयो। केही पढ्नुभयो  केही नयाँ कुरा सिकेर आउनुभयो। तर उतै हराउनु भएन। गाउँ फर्किएर गाउँ मै अर्थोपार्जन र बिधालयहरु स्थापना गर्नु भयो। बाउहरुको लागि सपना देख्नु भयो। खेतवारि जोडि घर धनसार बनाउनु भयो।बुवा पुस्ताले बिधालयमा केही पद्न पाउनु र नया कुरा सिक्न पाउनु भयो। यो पुस्ताले हजुरबाहरुको सपना बुझेन्न वा आफ्नै सपना पूरा गर्न भौतारियो, कोहि बिदेश गए कोहि शहर पशे। बिदेश जाने थोरै थिए धेरै फर्किए, पछि आफनै थाक थलोमा। शहर पस्नेहरु शहर मै हराए। नातिहरु जन्मिने क्रम जारि नै रह्यो। नाति हरु ठुला हुन्दा सम्म धेरै ठाउँ बाटो ले जोडियो। सन्चार माध्यमले धेरै मान्छेहरुसग जोडिए। नयाँ कुरा धेरै थाहाँ पाए। सपना र चाहाना पनि तेहि अनुसार परिवर्तन भयो।  देशले मात्र उनिहरुका चाहाना पुर्याउन सकेन भनुम।धेरै लागे बिदेश। अहिले सम्म लागिरहेछ्न । अब पनाति हरु उतै जन्मिने भए, उनिहरुको सपना यो धर्तीले थेग

Chungthang Hydro-Dam Breach: Lessons for Nepal's Big Hydropower Ambitions

Chungthang Hydro-Dam Breach: Lessons for Nepal's Big Hydropower Ambitions Introduction: A catastrophic glacial lake outburst triggered flash floods in North Sikkim's Mangan district on October 4, 2023, leading to the breach of Sikkim's Chungthang dam, the largest hydropower project in the state. This incident has sent shockwaves through the region, emphasizing the need for Nepal to carefully assess the risks associated with large hydropower dam projects. To make informed decisions, Nepal must draw lessons from past dam failures and natural disasters, understanding the implications of such events on a national scale. The Chungthang Hydro-Dam Disaster: The Chungthang dam, a vital component of the 1200 MW Teesta Stage III Hydro Electric Project, is a symbol of power generation in the region.
