The Myth of Utis and Rhododendron

Note:
Rhododendron: Male
Utis : Female

Once Rhododendron wanted to marry so he went to ask the hand of Utis Tree in Autum Season. The tree of Rhododendron was very ugly. All the tree was covered by the bumps of knots of branches.
And Utis was in its full beauty as it was a season of her beautiness. She was tall, slim with shiny leaves.

'No one would like to marry with you' Utis said after looking Rhododendron.

Hearing this, Rhododendron was so angry and challenged ' Come in spring season to see me'.

Time passed away. Finally it was a time of Spring season. Utis remembered the challenged of Rhododendron and decided to see it once.

As it saw Rhododendron, covered with flowers it slipped through hill. So it is said that Utis tree grow only in the place where landslide occurs.

A girl with a blue earring

Note: This is my first article that I published in my brother's blog. I hadn't blog of my own at that time so now I am publishing it in my own blog. I hope u like it.

As always, that day I was in hurry to my college. I was walking on the way; my eyes got stopped in a earring which was lying in the middle of the road. Quickly I picked it up. I thought whether anybody was watching me or not only after picking it up. I relaxed nobody was watching because it was an early morning. I moved forward. I dropped it in my right hand pocket of my jacket. I was walking and my hand was inside my pocket which was holding that earring.

I was thinking who might have dropped it may be the girl of my same age because I see many girls of my age wearing such type of earring. I remembered a movie which I watched recently by that earring. The movie's title was' A girl with a pearl earring' and the actress was Scarlett Johansson. Only one earring was used in that movie.

I reached my college. I was holding it inside my pocket. Although I was very curious to see I didn't see it. The class was running and my hand was still holding that earring. As soon as the class was over I showed to my friends but they reacted passively may be they didn't hear me. I kept it in the same pocket. All the classes were over so I returned back home.

I watched it carefully. The earring was a circle earring of metal. A bell was there in the middle of the circle. The forward and backward of bell was decorated by some kind of steel golden flowers and plastic blue beads. There were seven different blue beads hanging in the bell. There were also five different blue beads hanging in those seven blue beads. I thought two beads were lost out of seven beads.

I showed to my mother. She said it is very beautiful and will be more beautiful if it is made out of gold. I showed to my sister and she too said it was beautiful and remembered her own earring which she took out from her jewellery box and put it herself and in the mean time I was writing the story of ' A girl with a blue earring' wearing that blue earring.

Hiking to the top of hill

Today we went on a hiking after a long time. We always plan for hiking but our plan goes always in vain. But today our plan succeeded.

When we left house at twelve o’clock and the rain was drizzling. We (My mother, my sister and I) bought some Rum Pum and Nepalese "Sel Roti" from near shop.

We were unaware of the way to up hill. This was our first time to go up the hill. We always see that particular hill from our home (Swoyambhu) very closely. We hadn’t gone there. Only my younger brother reached before us in last Dashain.

We moved forward by exploring our way. We were frightening from leech as it was season of leech. We reached to field of flower.

There were lots of flower and its farmers were busy in their field. The yellow, orange and red color Lahure flowers were blooming in the field. We bought some flowers and took photographs. Then we moved ahead.

After climbing little up we reached in that hill. It was a small hill. There was a tree of Salla in the middle of the hill. The large hills cover that small hill around it. The weather was rainy so the clouds were moving so near to the hill as if we can touch those clouds.

The weather was so cool and pleasant. The scenery around the hill was so beautiful like heaven. Green, Green and Green.
We took photos and ate food items that we had brought. It was time to return so we returned before it become late. But we made nice memories there.

I request all of u to go for hiking near the hills of Kathmandu. Please!! I swear you enjoy a lot.

The story of making paper

We have a famous saying in our home. ‘Everyone is creative during exam’

It is famous because we do something creative work in the examination. My elder brother made dustbin out of cylindrical part of Toilet Paper in the period of his exam.

I made candle stand from mud during the study period of exam. I don’t know why the creative ideas come only at the study period of exam.

By considering this in mind I wrote a list of plan to do after exam becoz the creative ides comes only during exams.

One of the plan was to make new paper out of old newspaper. The idea to make paper came to my mind by the tips of Bipana which she gave me several months ago.

First I need to do was to keep newspaper in water till it can be breakdown into fine pieces. I soaked newspaper at the time of exam. So that it would be ready to make papers after finishing my exam.

The exam got over and the paper was ready for making new paper. As said by Bipana, I made fine pieces of soaked newspaper. I was said that it needed a lot of newspaper to make paper. So I soaked a lot of newspaper. This took a lot of time to grind that newspaper.

I was doing all these with my sister. We were wandering how this can turn to paper. We were still grinding newspaper till afternoon nearly two and half hours. The sun was shining and we were grinding continuously.

The pieces of newspaper were fine enough to be paper. We came to know this because the spilled portion of that solution of water and newspaper started to dry in upper parts of our hand and on the floor.

‘Paper’ I shouted ‘Its paper’ the small pieces of paper was every where the solution was spilled.

We were so happy as if we discovered a new thing like Archimedes found the law of flotation in his bathroom and said ‘eureka’

Finally we made paper. We dried it in placing steel net which we got from store room.

We succeed in making two large papers which was equal to the size of chart paper.

We were so happy and content at the end of the day because we succeeded in making paper by ourselves.

Later we cut those paper in small size where we painted the nature and sent best wishes to our friends as dashain was coming near.

I still remember that happiness which I got when I first recognized the small pieces of paper and shouted “paper”

Is politics really a dirty game?

Just few days back, I read a slam book of my sister's friend. I went through the pages of that slam book. Reading slam book gives information about the types of people. So I like reading others slam book too.

I read thoroughly. Many girls and boys gave their opinion on Love, Life, Friendship, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Dress, Best Colour, Happy Moments, Unhappy Moments and so on.

Politics was also one of the topic in which opinion was given. I focused on it. The most common opinion on politics was ' A Dirty Game'.

How did politics become a dirty game in the eyes of boys and girls of class 10? How did politics get this tag?

Not only those boys and girls says it a dirty game, many intellectuals may opine it in same way. This is very bad impression about politics.

We should understand that politicians made it a dirty game but we shouldn't forget that it is only politics that makes a country, a developed country.

Dancing girl

May 10 2007
Sometimes we encounter such moment that we never think about. Something like that happened today.

My father asked my sister and me to bring today's newspaper at the evening at 7 pm. so we went to swoyambhu chowck. As we reached there we were attracted by the lights that were shining the face of Lord Buddha in Buddha Park. We decided to go to Buddha Park. We always see Buddha park in the day time. We rarely go there at the evening. The environment of Buddha Park is totally different in the evening. As I already said it is whole reflected by the yellowish colour of lights. The environment is very pleasant in yellowish colour.

We took a round of Lord Buddha’s beautiful golden statue. There is a huge Peepal tree in front of statue of Buddha. People enter Buddha Park from the left side of that Peepal tree and exit from the right side.

As we were leaving from there, a small girl may be of 8 or 9 yrs age, was dancing in the exit part of that park. We stopped there and sat under that tree to watch the girl who was dancing alone. There were gentleman watching the girl in the left side of that girl and her friends were watching her from the right side from where we were watching.

That small girl was facing opposite of Buddha and was dancing so beautifully.

She was wearing a white jama and that jama was decorated by light purple flowers. Her hair was little bit longer than shoulder length and she was wearing a red band in her head. Her hair was untied and was straight. She was wearing a sandal which she took out after dancing a while.

She was not nervous and was dancing very beautifully with beautiful steps and even she was lip singing.

The song was fast track song may be of Buddhism.

The steps she was making while dancing were different. Sometimes she moved her both hands at right side and sometimes to the left side. Likewise she moved her hand upwards, down wards, front side, backside, one hand up and one hand side wise. She clapped her hand in different styles. She sat and danced.

I was fascinated by her dancing. I watched her so carefully and her dancing steps.
She danced continuously. One of the gentlemen took photographs or may be video of that dancing little girl with his mobile camera.

The song was continuously going on and that little girl was dancing continuously. Many people watched and went as the girl as the girl was dancing continuously.

I decided to watch till the end. But the gatekeeper of that park asked us to leave the park because it was time to close the gate, so we rushed. But I was thinking of that girl. I asked to the gatekeeper who the little girl was. He said that she is the daughter of one of the person who lives inside that park.

While returning to home, my sister and I talked about that girl.
“May be that girl was taught about dancing steps" we said to each other.

But the amazing fact was that the song was continuous more than 20 minutes and the girl was dancing with different steps. How could she remember those steps and performing so beautifully without looking restless?
