MY LIFE & WORK
It’s been thousands of years
standing tall and leafy
Roots deep in the earth
Twigs flying in the sky
No knowledge hidden
Civilisations came and left
Whistles and songs
Celebrations and vexations
The only victor
Fathers of fathers
Sons of sons
Beyond all connections
Living legend
The tree of Knowledge
Borders made
Earth separated
Kings and queens
Nasty cold claims
Unconscious foolish ages
Naive humans
Think omniscient
I have never seen but always heard about you
They say we will never know until the soul is loose
I have never known how it feels
But they say when we deal, we will never heal
It’s a fact of life we always try to hide
A truth of time no one can ever fight
There is only one way to redemption
Just proffer your mind with a free will
You are so ruthless and evil
You take away all our sweet dreams
No money can buy your skip
A framed time you can have for free
I don’t fear you nor your filthy tricks
I know the fact you are never going to leave
But sometimes I wonder and think
How you will look when we meet
In the small village of Sonapur, Nawalparasi used to live a happy family. Hari and Meena were a very loving couple. They had two beautiful children, Sima and Suyog. The family was happy in all ways, even though poverty hit their life.
Over time, both the children were of the age of attending school. Suyog was sent to an expensive school and his elder sister in a small school. Sima also wanted to study in the very school where her brother was studying, but the family could not afford the cost. Sima used to dream of going to a school where all the big opportunities were available to supplement her big plans. Despite being in a small school, Sima was equally talented and scored A+ in every test and exam as Suyog.
After completing High school, Suyog was sent to the USA for higher studies, keeping the family home in mortgage, but Sima stayed at home and started taking care of the household works. Hari and Meena both were proud of their son and had big hopes for their son.
Time passed by and now it’s been more than 6 years since Suyog had gone to the USA. He also married a foreign girl there. Hari and his wife, Meena, finally found out about their son’s marriage from Social Media. Meena was very sad and shed tears for what her son had done without informing the family.
Hari Sharma asked his son Suyog to come back home for her sister’s wedding. Suyog made various excuses about his busy work schedule and he can’t come back at that instant of time. He said he would send money and gifts for the family. The family made the marriage arrangements of Sima without the presence of Suyog.
One day, Meena became very sick and the family took her to the hospital. The doctor gave very sad news that Meena has stage three cancer. All of a sudden, the family was in misery and had to deal with this unbearable news. Hari made a call to his son and to come back home as her mother is on the verge of a life-and-death situation. Suyog made various foolish excuses. He said that if he comes to Nepal, he would incur a big loss and would rather send money to take care of his mother. Hari cried a lot when he heard his son’s words.
A few days later, Meena left the world. Hari called crying to his son that his mother is no more and insisted his son come back home for the mother’s funeral. Suyog said he would come the very next day. The family waited along with the corpse for four days for Suyog to return for the funeral rites. Suyog did not arrive for the funeral. All the relatives, including Sima’s family, gathered together and discussions were held on how to perform the funeral rites. Hari sat next to his wife’s body and shed tears.
No one could decide what to do or how to do it. All of a sudden, Sima came forward and hugged her mother’s body and said she is also her mother’s child, even tho she is not a son. Sima said she would do her duty and complete the funeral rites.
A voice came out of everyone’s mouth, ‘Yes, yes, child! You are a true child of the family. A child in need is a child, indeed.’
When I close my eyes
I see a picture of you and mine
Living together in Harmony
Under the same blue sky
When I close my eyes
I see the golden sunrise
Embracing us with a warm guide
Bringing together all hopes and dimes
When I close my eyes
I see a sweet paradise
Calling us all with its kind sight
Building a lovely team of mild
When I close my eyes
I see a dream of you and mine
Living together in harmony
Under one united world to shine
what a misery what a demise
Can feel the pouring tears all day and night
Never seen these bad times
even the intelligent one can’t fight
Thought we were at heights
No one could touch our might
How the scenario has switched
with the single virus microscopic type
Beginning a battle we can’t win
we thought ourselves the boss of every kind
Nature is Hitting back hard and tight
our scientific research has come to a decline
Our fools mind our fools search
Brought us to the end this all
Closing ourselves between the walls
We are now the prisoners of our own
Oh Mighty Oh lord
Praying for you loud and clear
When its gonna end this all
Bless us with some good luck
Bless us with some good luck
I am fortunate to be born in the era where technology is booming. I see the presence of technology in every aspects of life. From a very simple to a very complex use, technology is unavoidable. The word ‘technology’ is derived from the Greek word technologic English word logy which means science or knowledge put into practical use to solve problems or invent useful tools. Innovation refers to the useful peculiar idea or alternate thinking for a particular problem. So innovation in technology is the invention of new useful tools or products as well as the recreation of older invention with evolutionary changes and new features.
In the year 1600, English physician William Gilbert used the Latin word “electricus” to describe the force that certain substances exert when rubbed against each other. A few years later another English scientist, Thomas Browne, wrote several books and he used the word “electricity” to describe his investigations based on Gilbert’s work. In 1752,Benjamin Franklin conducted his experiment with a kite, a key, and a storm. This simply proved that lightning and tiny electric sparks were the same thing. Italian physicist Alessandro Volta discovered that particular chemical reactions could produce electricity, and in 1800 he
constructed the voltaic pile (an early electric battery) that produced a steady electric current, and so he was the first
person to create a steady flow of electrical charge. In 1831 electricity became viable for use in technology when Michael Faraday created the electric dynamo (a crude
power generator), which solved the problem of generating electric current in an ongoing and practical way. Faraday’s
rather crude invention used a magnet that was moved inside a coil of copper wire, creating a tiny electric current that flowed through the wire. This opened the door to American inventor Thomas Edison and British scientist Joseph Swan who each invented the incandescent filament light bulb in their respective countries in about 1878. Previously, light bulbs had been invented by others, but the incandescent bulb was the first practical bulb that would light for hours on end. Swan and Edison later set up a joint company to produce the first practical filament lamp, and Edison used his direct- current system (DC) to provide power to illuminate the first New York electric street lamps in September 1882.
In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s Serbian American engineer, inventor, and all around electrical wizard Nikola Tesla became an important contributor to the birth of commercial electricity. He worked with Edison and later had many revolutionary developments in electromagnetism. He is well known for his work with alternating current (AC), AC motors, and the polyphase distribution system. Later, American inventor and industrialist George Westinghouse purchased and developed Tesla’s patented motor for generating alternating current, and the work of Westinghouse, Tesla and others gradually convinced American society that the future of electricity lay with AC rather than DC. Others who worked to bring the use of electricity to where it is today include Scottish inventor James Watt who invented Steam engine which were later used to generate electricity and the term “Watt” is given to the unit of power which is used for either mechanical or electrical power,French mathematician Andre Ampere who is one of the founders of science of electromagnetism and the standard unit of measurement of electric current, ampere, is after him, German mathematician and physicist George Ohm who discovered the mathematical law of electric current called “Ohm’s Law“, and Marin Soljacic who invented wireless power transfer technology (2007).
In conclusion, Electricity is a miraculous discovery of science which gave an opening to various inventions. Electrical devices are used in everyday life. It is impartial part of present human life. The use of electricity is wide. Electricity is used to charge our mobile phones(one of the most important invention in human history) and various communicating devices, running giant industrial machines, lightning houses and cities and many more. So the future of electricity and various inventions on the application of electricity will keep on innovating. Technological innovation is a never ending process. As long as the curiosity of human beings remain, the invention of new useful products and devices keep on innovating. All inventions and technologies that exist today in the 21st century is the outcome of innovative thinking of the people of different generations.
“युवा” को अर्थ शारीरिक विकासक्रमको हिसाबले बाल्यावस्था पछी र वृद्धावस्था पूर्वको उमेर साथै मानसिक हिसाबले स्फूर्त र सटीक सोचका साथ कार्य सम्पादनको क्षमता भएको उमेर हो । आफ्ना अनुभव र सिकाइलाई व्यवस्थित गर्दै अघि बढ्नुपर्ने अवस्था युवाअवस्था हो । आफ्नो उत्पादनशीलता, सिर्जनशीलताका साथ देशलाई समृद्धिको बाटोमा हिडाउन सक्ने शक्ति हो युवा। नेपालको विकास र उन्नतिको सन्दर्भमा युवाको भूमिका अत्यन्तै महत्वपूर्ण विषय हो ।
विश्वका जतिपनि ऐतिहासिक र चमत्कारी आविष्कार छन, तिनमा युवाको प्रत्यक्ष संलग्नता छ ।अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय जगतको कुरा गर्दा सन् १८७९ मार्च १४ मा जन्मिएका अल्बर्ट आइन्स्टाइनले वैज्ञानिक सिद्धान्तहरुको प्रकाशन शुरु सन् १९०५ बाटै गरे । २६ वर्षको कलिलो उमेरमै ‘मिराकल इयर’ शुरु भयो । सन् १९१६ मा प्रख्यात पत्रिका एन्नालेन डेर फिजिकमा ‘जेनेरल थ्योरी अफ रिलेटिभिटि’ प्रकाशित गरेपछि उनको चर्चा ‘क्लाइमेक्स’मा पुग्यो । सन् १९५३ मा २५ वर्षको उमेरमै डाक्टर बन्नुभएको चेग्वेभाराकै कारण क्युवाली क्रान्तिको अन्तिम विजय सम्भव भयो । एलेक्जेंद्र द ग्रेट एक सफल मिलिटरी कमान्डर मानिन्छन । १६ वर्षकै कलिलो उमेरमै उनले आफ्नो पहिलो ‘कोलोनी’ पत्ता लगाए जसको नाम ‘एलेक्जेंद्रोपोलिस’ राखे । ३० वर्षको उमेरमै मार्क्सले उनका सहयोगी फ्रेडरिक एंगेल्ससंग मिलेर विश्व तरंगित गर्ने कम्युनिष्ट घोषणापत्र प्रकाशन गरे । सन् १९७३ मा जन्मिएका सचिन तेन्दुलकरले ११ वर्षको उमेरबाटै क्रिकेट खेले । विश्वकै सबैभन्दा बढी रन स्कोरर तेन्दुलकर ‘गड अफ क्रिकेट’ भनेर चिनिन्छन । १८ वर्षकै उमेरमा स्विडेनको विश्वकप फुटवलबाट पेलेले व्यापक प्रशंसा बटुले । १७ वर्षको उमेरमै मलाला युसफजईले नोवेल शान्ति पुरस्कार प्राप्त गरिन । विश्व इतिहासमा युवाको अतुलनीय योगदान देखिन्छ समाज र राष्ट्रका प्रति ।
नेपालको इतिहास पनि युवाको उपलब्धिले जाज्वल्यमान छ। वि.स.१९८३ र २०१० सम्म जम्मा २७ वर्ष वाचेका भीमदत्त पन्त सुदूरपश्चिममा शोषक र सामन्त विरुद्ध आजीवन लडे । ३६ वर्षको उमेरमा २००७ सालको क्रान्तिको नायक वि.पी कोइरालाले युवाअवस्थामा प्रजातन्त्रको लडाइको नेतृत्व गरे । ४० वर्षको उमेरमा २०४९ मा मदन भण्डारीले कम्युनिष्ट पार्टीको लोकतान्त्रिकरणको नॅंया आयाम थपे । नारायणगोपाल सानै उमेरबाट गाउथे । स्वरसम्राट भनेर चिनिने उनका गीत अहिले पनि जीवन्त छन । युवावस्थाबाटै साहित्यमा सक्रिय देवकोटा ‘महाकवी’ बने। ७५ वर्ष पहिले पूर्वी पहाडमा योगमायाले थालेको शान्तिपुर्ण विद्रोहको इतिहास अहिले पनि प्रेरणाको स्रोत बनिरहेको छ । जतिपनि इतिहास रचिएका छन् ति सबै युवावस्थामा रचिएका छन्।
इतिहासकै यस्ता राम्रा उदाहरण मानव सभ्यताकै गहना हुन्। युवाहरुको समायानुकुल चिन्तन नै वर्तमानको आवश्यकता हो। राष्ट्रको आवश्यकता हो।
वर्तमान समयमा कोरोना महामारीले ग्रस्त विश्व समुदायमा युवाहरूले महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निर्भाह गर्नु पर्ने दायित्व छ।नेपाली युवाहरू वैदेशिक रोजगारबाट सिप र दक्षताका साथ फर्किएका छन।युवाको यो दक्षतालाई देशमै सदुपयोग गर्न आवश्यक छ।देशको सामाजिक,राजनीतिक,व्यापारिक आदि अनेकौ क्षेत्रमा युवाको संलग्नता अपरिहार्य छ।कृषि क्षेत्र पनि युवा शक्तिको नेतृत्वमा चलायमान भएको उदाहरण वर्तमान समयमा यत्रतत्र देख्न सकिन्छ।राजनीतिक क्षेत्रमा साथै व्यापारिक क्षेत्रमा पनि युवाहरूको भुमिका बढ्दो हुनु देशको लागि सकरात्मक संकेत हो।यसरी नै देशका सबै क्षेत्रमा युवाहरूको पहुच बढ्दै जाने हो भने देशको संवृद्धि र उन्नति तीव्र हुने छ।
Life is a journey that must be travelled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations.We always hear those around us tell us to focus on the goal. But the journey that leads us to our dreams is what helps bring the change in us.
Remember that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. It’s imperative that you take the first step—not toward your destination, but for the change you are looking for.
Even if during the journey you don’t make significant improvements, walk the road anyway. You’re bound to learn things, meet new people and look back on the past with a smile on your face.
We’re so focused on what the past has given us that we tend to forget what the future has in store. Years down the road, you will look back at your former self and smile sheepishly, knowing that there are important life lessons you’ve learned. These lessons can never be taught in schools or institutions. No amount of courses can prepare us for life.Life takes us on unexpectedly.
There are people you will meet who will do you good, there are friends who will walk away, and there are relationships that are never going to amount to anything. But we tend to leave our fingerprints behind when we touch someone’s life. Every person has learned something from someone. Our parents are our first teachers. We learn the basics of life through them. The internet is a platform where we interact with the world.
There are billions of people on this planet. All of them are walking the road to their own journey. One thing we mustn’t forget is that our goals and ambitions can change but the road to learning remains the same.
It molds us, shapes us and helps us create who we are as individuals. Whether our goals change or remain the same, one thing is certain: the journey of life changes us into who we are.
Learning is a process itself. But with a little motivation and inspiration, it’s possible to make the changes you need to live a better and healthier life.
Discover what is most important in your life. You have what it takes to make the most of work and life.
AAC(Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) was developed in 1924 by a Swedish architect, Mr. John Axel Ericson, seek for alternate building material with properties like wood.Wood has qualities like thermal insulation, firm structure, and allow smooth working with it. But wood has certain disadvantages like combustibility, decay, and termite damage.So AAC has all these properties of wood, and also it is fire and termite resistant. On the basis of study of various reference papers following conclusions were made.
Manufacturing Process
AAC is a precast product manufactured by combining pulverized fly ash, gypsum, lime,Cement water, and Aluminium powder poured into a mould.
Once added to the concrete aluminium powder reacts with lime and fly ash resulting in the formation of millions of microscopic hydrogen bubbles.
The hydrogen Bubbles cause the concrete to expand to roughly double The Times of its original volume the hydrogen subsequently evaporates leaving a high closed shale aerated concrete.Then aerated concrete is cut into blocks which are then steam and pressure cured in an autoclave for 8 to 12 hours.
Pros of ACC Blocks
Lightweight
Faster Construction
Reduces construction time by 20% different sizes of blocks helps reduce the number of joints in wall masonry, lighter blocks facilitate more comfortable and faster construction. These blocks are easy to install also sets and hardens quickly.
Minimum Wastage
Acoustic performance
Superior sound absorption qualities due to the porous structure of block offer sound attenuation of about 42 decibels blocking out all significant sounds and disturbances ideal for Schools, Hospitals, Hotels, Offices, Multifamily housing, and other structures that require acoustic insulation.
Fire-resistant
AAC blocks are non-combustible and fire-resistant up to 1600 degrees Celsius. These blocks are fire-resistant approximately 2 to 6 hours, depends on the thickness of the Wall.
Cost-saving
The requirement for plaster on AAC blocks is less due to the surface accuracy of the blocks, thus reduces overall construction cost by 2.5 %.
Since it requires less jointing hence minimizes the demand for cement and steel. AAC block has high insulation properties, which help in saving energy costs by almost 30%.
Variation in sizes of blocks, help in increase carpet area. Almost Nill efflorescence affects the AAC Blocks permit wall painting and plastering to serve last longer, and this translates into low maintenance cost.
Seismic resistant
The manufacturing process gives the blocks excellent strength maintaining its lightweight property due to which the steadiness of these blocks in buildings is more reliable, making it earthquake resistant.
Accuracy
ACC blocks offer high precision in size. Blocks are available in exact dimensions to provide a smooth wall with a perfect joint between different elements. It also helps to save cement and steel usage.
Termite pest-resistant
The blocks are made with inorganic materials; hence it keeps termites away, avoiding damages and losses.
Water saver
AAC Block walls do not require water for curing. Only the mortar joints need water for curing, thus reduces water consumption.
Cons of AAC Blocks
ACC blocks have lower embodied energy per square meter which is not available in other concrete alternatives. As a result, impact of greenhouse gas emission is considerably less on the AAC Blocks. At the same time, AAC has much higher insulation value, which results in the reduced heating and cooling energy consumption. AAC has some significant environmental advantages over conventional construction materials, which ensures their longevity and insulation capacity. What’s more important is that total energy consumption for producing ACC is much lesser than what it takes to produce other building material. And, it, reduces 30% of environmental waste when it is used. Considering its environmental impacts, autoclaved aerated concrete is a better choice for the building as well as environment.
Rajeev Raj’s wife suddenly died of blood cancer, leaving her one-and-half- year-old son behind. Rajeev Raj was told by many to marry again. Not to mention, Rajeev Raj felt his son was more likely to be an orphan if he gets married again.
He raised his one-and-half-year-old baby boy with patriarchal care. Really! Rohan was the child of the eye to his father, Rajeev Raj. Rohan did very well in his studies. He also did a doctorate on a scholarship from the top University in the country. Everyone started calling Rajeev Raj, Dr Rohan’s father.
One day, Rohan got married to a nurse who worked with him in the hospital. As Rajeev Raj got older, he was diagnosed with asthma and blood pressure. Rohan’s wife was very unkind and uncaring to Rajeev Raj. She used foul invective to her father-in-law, Rajeev Raj, all the time.
One Night While sleeping, Rajeev Raj heard Rohan’s wife whispering to Rohan, ‘Instead of taking care of father at home, let us take him to an old age home—I will pay for it.’ The words of his daughter-in-law brought tears to his eyes. He could remember the past,” What to do? The old woman left soon.’ Rohan could not interrupt his wife. Rohan said to his wife, ‘I will take my father after a few days after searching for the old age home, don’t worry.’ After Some days, Rohan and his wife took their father to an old-age home.
Time passed and one winter of December, Rohan and his wife were riding towards the city. The car was parked in the parking lot. All of a sudden, an old man in a ragged dress came, begging, ‘Sir, I am hungry for the last four days! Give me ten or twenty rupees “
Rohan was shocked, ‘ Father! You.’
