COVID 19-WHAT TO DO WHEN IN SELF-QUARANTINE

It is the most difficult period for many people in the world when the world is battling against the rage of Corona. Being an optimist, I am considering my self-isolation as vacation the world has offered me, in which my paycheck doesn’t get cut and I have every time for myself and my family. Well, it might be difficult for everyone to cope up with social distancing because we are bound by a friend circle that demands “chiya” every morning. But trust me, the virus is much more dangerous than we could have possibly imagined. In developed countries where people can afford much more time than we can only dream of are dealing with deaths and more in numbers. In an underdeveloped country like ours, where pollution is uncontrollable and where strong medical facilities lack in every place we need to draw a bigger picture of actualization that we are in serious threat. Sorry, but just keeping a belief of being gorkhali and fighting corona won’t work this time.
So, being in a shelter is the best thing to do until we don’t get a concrete solution to the virus. Here are some things you might find interesting to do during this period;
  • If you are a bookaholic, you could just give a green signal to the pieces of literature that you kept a hold on to. Writers like Paulo Coelho, Khaled Hosseini, Samuel P Huntington are my social friends for this vacation.
  • Being with family would be another great thing for you. Just cracking any useless jokes about anything or brainstorming to your future plans with the family would be the thing you wouldn't miss doing.
  • If you are a sportsperson, helping Alex Hunter in FIFA to build his career would divert your mind or I wouldn't mind even if you watch all Mohamed Salah goals on youtube.
  • If you are more into coding, it would be great to learn codes and start building some pet projects of your own. I am sure it will help you in your mini, micro or even Final Year Project.
  • Keep the supply of all necessary commodities that you may need because Nepal is on the verge of lockdown and it might be difficult to get every needed supply from the market in the lockdown time period. 
  • Stay healthy because we stay in our room most of the time, and we spend most of our time in bed which degrades our health. And since gyms are closed, morning yoga, aerobics or even some physical exercise can be helpful in the time when you need your immunity the most.
  • If you want to learn a foreign language, duolingo might be handy for self-learning. That might even help you go to the non-english speaking nation after your graduation.
  • Watching series on Netflix is my personal favorite job in my self-quarantine. Or series like Asur, Friends(Again) would be the thing that might boost your drained energy.
All the above-mentioned points are based on my opinion on the things you can do. You are a master of your own and are free to do things you love. But please be careful because this virus can deteriorate our health like anything. Just stay safe for you, your family and everyone you care about. As of now, we can wish everything to get normal which might take time but patience is only the key to saving lives. Every halted plan can get another chance but your health once affected won’t give you any other chance. Be a sage and act wisely! Happy Quarantine!

Irishway, How it all began: My childhood memories

Image
The experiences that I have gained till date are unforgettable. It goes without saying that my childhood was more than just a learning experience. I shall always cherish those memories! The story I’m about to share is a story not only of my childhood but also of the lessons that I have learned throughout my childhood. On the day of 18th June, the youngest son of the family was born to Mr Binaya Raj Pokharel and Manju Sitaula Pokharel; it was one of the happiest moments in life for the Pokharel Family. I was given my name, Irish, by my aunt. That’s how an inquisitive bright child came into existence with unfolded stories and undecided future. At the age of three, I was admitted to a school, Prativa Academy, Birtamod, Jhapa. I still remember crying and shouting at my mother for leaving me in the school alone with crowds of strangers. Time breezed by and at the age of six, we moved to our hometown Bhadrapur, where my grandparents stayed. Now came the phase where I spent my longest c...

STUDENT LIFE: A LIFE FULL OF PRESSURE

Students, who are termed as helmsmen of development, face many kinds of pressure throughout their life. Well, life is not easy when you are given the extra burden that you don’t deserve. From the very first moment you step towards the educational life, you  have to bear pressure. Every parent wants their children to top the exams. In Nepalese society, you have to face one extra taboo, the society. Society in Nepal has a different way of pressurizing students. They don’t mind their business but get busy backbiting about the children who don’t even relate to them. Another factor that pressurizes students in Nepal is the extra burden from the teachers and the school as well. In many places of Nepal, students are literally beaten up for not following the way they are told to. There are different ways of harnessing student’s future, physical violence is never the solution. In a world where you deserve a fresh environment, where you can do what actually you are interested in, ...

SO IT WAS YOU IRIS?

Suddenly, I woke up with a noise. The noise was  the thunderstorm that passed by my windowpane. My hands were shivering. I checked the time which showed 2:00 Am in the morning. I realised i fell asleep in the chair of my cabin. What was i doing in the office at 2 in the morning? My lethargic mind after sleep questioned. I then grabbed the car keys and rushed to the basement to get home. It was raining heavily in the heart of spain, Madrid. Late October is considered the wettest month in spain. I then started the engine of my car and then accelerated my way back home. The roads were scary accompanied by sharp lightning.  I reached home. With my surprise the channel gate to the entrance was open and making a creaky sound. I was too anxious to turn on the light. With nervousness i reached out to the switch and then turned on the light. I was scared with what i saw next, traces of blood. As soon as i saw blood the first person came to my mind was Natalia, my wife. I screamed h...
