Confusion!!

Sometimes we tend to believe what people say as a joke. It often happens. They say it so seriously that we think they mean it but we then realize it was a joke when they finally confess it. It creates lot of confusion sometimes leading to misunderstanding and often make the relationship cold. What we say might hurt others so we need to be careful even when we joke. It just happened to me. A friend of mine said something to me, actually too much, about what I don't like and I was very furious at him. I later realized that he was just joking but he had chosen the wrong topic.

So, when we joke, let's be careful not to hurt others because relationships (any) are very sensitive and could break easily with a small confusion or misunderstanding.

Holidays!!

Holidays are what most of the people die for, be it a preschooler, college student or a job holder. Everyone wants a break for themselves from their work. Everyone are excited about their holidays and start making plans about how to spend it. Some do their house cores that are pending, some their office works while some just hang around with friend or sleep the whole time. Some could get really creative during their holidays.

Holidays after SLC or High School exams are the longest and most useful if used in proper way. We have plenty of time to take various classes on the subjects that interests us, can develop new hobbies or visit new places. It enables us to get knowledge and develop our skills.

However, it could get boring sometimes. Even one day off would make us lazy and bored. Especially during Bandhas and load shedding hours, when we could neither get out of house nor watch TV or do other works that needs electricity.

We could, then, read books, do some creative works like drawing, gardening, cooking, etc. There are lots of hobbies if we think of. So look out for it and get creative and make your holiday useful.

Rules Meant To Be Broken?

Just a couple of days ago, I was on my way to Bhaktapur. I was waiting for my friend at Tinkune when I saw a rally coming. It was the group of people marking gathered to mark the 24 Chaitra's Jana Andolan day. I don't remember if it was Jana Andolan first or second. Well, it wasn't important compared to what I saw.

The sight astonished me. I saw three adult boys on a single bike pass in front of a traffic police. She did nothing at all - no punishment, no fine, nothing at all. She just let it go. I wondered about the rule for bikers that let only two adult people on a bike. No punishment, no fine for them? Why? Just because they were involved in the rally? Isn't there any rule for them? OK, escort them, give them space, do whatever you like but without breaching the rules. If the traffic police do not follow traffic rules how do they expect the commoners to do so???

She would have charged if it was someone else but just a flag on the bike and it is free. Wow, what a law!! That's ridiculous. Rules are not only for commoners but for all, EVERYONE. Do they have the right to break the rule? Are the rules meant to be broken???

SLC and Cheating

The much hyped and awaited exams (SLC) is over now and as usual with lots of cheating. This year either more students cheated or the media gave the proper coverage, the number of cheating went up compared to that of yesteryear. Everyday I heard the students were caught cheating on exams or threatening the invigilators or the fake examinees being caught. This year there was fine and punishment set up for the cheaters but it was never applied. That shows how bad the authority of our country is. The rules are always meant to be broken here. They make and cant apply it. Why to make rules that can't be followed? Oh God! I am fed up with such things here. It gets on my nerves. The importance this exam gets is the reason behind the cheating. If it was like any other normal exam then there wouldn't have been so much cheating.
