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 13th 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 the needs of the students both from urban and rural areas. It has several scholarship schemes which have provided golden opportunity to the students from poor economic condition to be imparted quality education.
I have found my teachers dedicated towards teaching and friendly as well. They are also quite experienced which has helped to excel in our examinations. English, an international language, is the medium of communication here which has helped the student in several ways. School is updating its teaching materials. Computers, projector, internet etc. are some of the teaching materials which are being used time to time.
Extra-curricular activities focused for the all round development are being carried out as per the schedule in our calendar. Just last week, we actively participated in sports week to mark our 13th school anniversary.
Strikes and different other obstructions are creating confusion among students about holidays. I think our school has addressed this problem effectively through notice board service and sms service.
Despite these attempts to carve us in to beautiful pieces of art, our school has some shortcomings. The school doesn’t have its own building which has been our voice for a long time. Probably, this is why the classrooms made for accommodation purpose are quite small for me and my friends. Indeed, we can see some progress in this sector but still we are not satisfied. The condition of toilet is also a chronic problem even though a new toilet has been made. The computers in the computer lab should be updated as they are growing obsolete. I hope the school will take apt steps to eliminate the weaknesses I mentioned before.
Finally, I expect the contribution of teachers, students and all other stakeholders will certainly thrive our school in the forthcoming days. Wishing once again a year of success and glory, I’d like to be far from here.
Thank You.

My Nepali DNA!

ROSHAN KARKI Last Christmas, I gave away my spit but the very next month, the DNA results came back making me feel: Not-So-Special “Who am I?” This selfie question often reverberates in my head, even more so at times when my Nepali identity (ego) is questioned, challenged, or brushed aside by an Indian stamp far away from home. Over the years, this insecurity has been fueled by overtones of ethnic federalism—an idea entrenched on differences we possess as Nepalis, along the lines of caste, creed, color, and culture. The ambiguous talks on identity issues by journalists, scholars, and op-ed writers from Nepal have done little to ease my dilemma. The question resurfaced again in one of those Chiya-Chats at my Alma Mater in Connecticut among the most diverse, passionate, and intelligent Nepali students I’ve ever interacted with. Beyond the usual fervor of Mount Everest and Buddha, we seemed perplexed about our Nepali identity: whether to associate with our country, align with our eth...

During menstruation in Nepal

How did the long-established-superstition barring a girl from several activities during menstruation emerge in Nepal? Nepal is not a developed country.There are superstitions everywhere. Even we, educated ones are deviated to superstitions at certain degree, let alone the illiterate ones. There is a social rule here that a girl during menstruation, should not go and touch the kitchenware and foods directly. They are not allowed to touch stuffs related to gods for they are considered to be “impure” during menstruation. Also, they are not allowed to touch a male person with “janai”, a sacred bunch of threads worn by every male person who has attended a special occasion called “bratabandha”. These are just superstitions, which, for our victory over evil are to be be neglected. No one has pondered how this came to practice in Nepalese societies, except following them. It actually began while taking into note the health and cleanliness of our body. There were no techniques to prevent flo...

Ahmed, the clock-maker

A 14 years old Muslim kid, an engineering enthusiast, brought to school his home-made clock to show to his teacher. Despite being applauded for his creation, he was arrested by the police because the teacher thought the device was suspicious. One glimpse of the device will not knock in your head what exactly it is. It is a tangle of wires, some boards and other electrical connections. It could have been a bomb, or a clock or any device that has not yet been invented. Ahmed’s clock. An electrical device made by a Muslim kid does not necessarily mean it is a bomb. The job the teachers had in hand was just a simple interrogation with Ahmed eliciting the device details and a meticulous assessment of the device. The obfuscating device would eventually turn out to impose no harm. But wait. There is another more important question here. Would the case have been different, had the inventing kid been white? I think straight ‘yes’ or ‘no’ will not make a good answer. While the frantic rea...
