The Flag waves, duty calls…

On the morning of August 15, 2003, I awoke to the alarming sound of gun shots. A moment of sinister silence followed; my skin tightened, and in the dark corners of my mind I could already envision what had just taken place. With tears impairing my sight and fright impeding my thoughts, I speedily stumbled and staggered my way down the stairs, out of the house and onto the road. The scene I saw there that morning changed my life. On the indifferent dirt road, in a pool of blood lay the body of my uncle, dead. Three young Maoist rebels had just taken the life of this army colonel outside his own house. Lying flat on the street, he had died in the same uniform that his father and grandfather before him had once worn for their country. Weak and still breathless, I stood there watching as the rest of the family, army-men, and pedestrians dragged his motionless corpse into the army jeep, hoping against hope that he would come back to life. The three bullets in his chest not only killed my...

My theory on why Muslims are cruel

Why are Muslims so cruel compared to others? Muslims got evolved in the deserts where, some decades ago, it was impossible for people to find food and other things to live with. There was no vegetation and is not today either. But there used to live some sort of animals which Muslims used to feed upon. This was the only way they got food to survive and survival is the most common desire of any person or creature in the world. This caused frequent killings of animals there for food. Continuously, doing this for years and years, they got accustomed  to it and had developed within themselves a cruel heart. Also this fact supports the abundance of oil in the deserts. The skeletons of the animals killed eventually turned out to be what we call the most important fuel today. This is just my opinion about the topic and I do not intend to hurt any Muslim person by this article.

My speech on 13th school anniversary

Honorable chairman, chief guest, board members, principal, vice-principal, respected dignitaries from the different walks of life, teachers, parents and my dear friends. I am glad to stand amongst you to express my views on the auspicious occasion of 13 th  school anniversary. So far I know, this school was established in 2055 B.S. with the sole aim of imparting quality education by some of the intellectuals of this district. Therefore, it is working for the academic excellence and personality development among its students from its inception. Glorious history of board first, third and district toppers certainly point that the school is heading at the right direction. Last year, too, was glorious for us as Saugat Adhikari, an ex-student here obtained district second position. We’ve heard different rumors against our school in the market but I, as a student representative, would like to call them baseless and superstitious. The school is a non-profit motive and it is catering...
