Decide your future!

It’s been a month that the iron gate of every student, SLC examination, has finished. This examination has taken much preference in life of each student. And now all examinees are enthusiastic to go into high school. Most of them are preparing themselves by taking bridge course to get into good colleges and institution with enough scholarships. Even computer institutions are packed with students. Only few students spend their holiday by enjoying.

As soon as result is published, students will be busy looking for the colleges and get admitted. It is obvious that there will be bewilderment in choosing the right subject. No wonder most of the 1st division or distinction holder students will give priority to science and the rest will select commerce or humanities accordingly to their percentages. It’s not because of their interest but because of the stereotype that people have about the subject “science”. People believe that science is the best subject one should choose to achieve the success.

Generally, people think science students are masterminds, smart and hard workers. They say these students know the actual meaning of hard work. No matter how he behaves, he is good and painstaking and deserves respect.

Every parent has dream of making their child a doctor or an engineer but why do they only value these professions. There are many other jobs which not only have good position but also have satisfaction as well as happiness.

Many people forfeit their feelings by not studying the subject they have interest in. They tend to do so for the sake of their parents or for the image that society has. It leads them to flunk their subject resulting them into frustration and then let their life be miserable; the desire to study will go in vain hence get them into abusive works. It has happened with most of my friends too.

It’s true that science is a very hard subject and you need much effort. Likewise, other subjects as well are not easy. They also need to pay off equal effort and dedication. Why don’t people understand that every subject has its own charmness? Science teaches you to see the world scientifically and technically. Commerce teaches you to become competitive and tricky while humanities teach you to become creative and make you think beyond the door.

The intermediate level plays an important role in shaping your future and career. Thus it is very essential to choose right path according to what you aspire to become. What value most is your commitment to the subject matter and desire to achieve your goal. It is you who is going to study not others. Don’t hang-up your wishes. Then only you will be enjoying your study. It is high time to think for yourself. So be careful in deciding for your future.

Fed up with Bandas

I used to be very happy when I didn’t have to go to college. A day banda was like a rest at home or refreshing day. I used to think there must be at least one such holiday every month. And this time, my wish came true as a series of days as holiday. But now I have realized how illiterate I was to think in such a way without imagining about its consequences. It is harming every individual’s life knowingly or unknowingly.

For the past couple of months, Nepal has been facing bandas continuously; sometimes by political leaders or by relatives of those killed in accidents or taxi drivers or petroleum suppliers or by transport entrepreneurs or by students and so on. The strike callers are of all varieties and it has got endless list. If anyone is not satisfied with what is happening in the country, they are free to protest anywhere at any time no matter what emergency is there with other people.

Everyone knows even a day banda can cause crores of loss but also no one cares about it since people think it’s not their problem, its government’s. It seems banda is the only solution for every problem regardless what the problem is. These bandas have become a part of our culture. We have to declare it for every chance we get to do it. And to celebrate it, we need to burn tyres and protest everywhere.

We are constantly talking about “Naya Ganatantric Nepal” hoping that it would bring peace in the country and it really is happening. There are no vehicles on the streets, no traffic jams and no noises, no pollution, no need to go to colleges and schools, no exams and so no tension at all. Yes, New Nepal is all about peace and harmony and it’s really very serene nowadays.

We say our country is economically poor and these bandas are making it poorer than before. The most affected people through these activities are the underprivileged one. Rich people can get through anyway. They have diverse source of income. But people who have to survive through daily wages are victimized. Their lives have become not less than living in a hell.

We, citizens, are the most powerful part of our nation. When we unite, we can do anything and we all know it. Loktantric Ganatantra Nepal is the proof of unity. But in case of strikes, it seems like we are misusing our power. We tend to look only to the positive sides of these strikes but beside it, there are more negative effects to everyone living in this country. It is not only the way to fulfill our wishes. There might be many other alternatives. Without destructing the lives of our own, cant we go for any other ways?
