Kathmandu Teen's Writer

Hello!!!!To all the readers who take out little time of their tiring and busy life to read my blog. I hope the blog is satisfying and readable to all of you. I have not been able to write something new in the blog due to some problems.. Well, as the name itself suggests, “Kathmandu Teen”actually focuses in the teenagers of Kathmandu city like what they are interested in, what kind of field is popular among them, what they think about their life goal, et cetera. And I am giving my best in these topics. This blog may be readable and interesting not only to the teenagers but also to the elder peoples.

I am Tong Man Thapa and I write everything in the blog, so I am officially the writer of the blog “Kathmandu Teen”. Like everyone, I have some hobbies like I like to listen to music, I like to play guitar with my friends, I also like to dance, travelling, sometimes hanging around with friends, et cetera. I used to dance in my schooldays and I have taken part in different competitions and programs. I also play guitar with my friends. I have just appeared my SLC examinations or finished my grade 10 from N.K Singh Memorial English Preparatory School located at Min Bhawan, New Baneshwor. And all the SLC appeared students have 3 months gap before the results are out and the college starts. Like all the other students, I am also free for 3 months.
Well, this 3 month’s gap is the best time to those students who can utilize their time properly. I have seen many students who join Bridge Course (Special course for +2 and preparation for entrance examination) after their SLC examination. I cannot completely deny the fact that it creates a base for +2 and it will help in the entrance preparation for the colleges. But, I rather think that taking Bridge Course is a total waste of time and money, no offense to anyone who joins such courses. Instead, I think these 3 months are meant to explore your mind and increase your creativity, as well as to have some fun because you never get another chance like this and life is too short for those to be a bookworm. I mean, we, the SLC appeared students are finally free from the burden of the books and the pressure from our parents. And, instead of exploring, they still want to dive into the water and drown. But, not all of the students take courses because they want to but because they are forced to by their parents and elders in the name of good future. And, to sum up, 3 months courses doesn't decide our future. A student must be hard-working in their college life for their future.
In fact, I have many friends who are taking Bridge Course now. Like I said, they take not because they want to but because they are forced to. And there are some students who are very serious about study, so, in their view, these courses may do well to them. And there are also students who are unsure about themselves, or like, they are not confident enough about themselves, so these kinds of students also take courses. I was also asked to join this kind of courses but I didn't want to and I didn't join it. Instead, I am taking guitar classes with some of my friends. To be frank, my friends are planning to create a musical band. I know it’s not easy and takes time. But, hey, it’s better than pressuring your mind like a pressure cooker and besides we have plenty of time. And besides that I do blogging in my free time.

Instead of taking Bridge Course which gives pressure and loots money more than giving education, take music class, or take dance class, or you can even work like 2 or 3 hours a day like a volunteer in the orphanage or something creative and something no other friends of yours has done. These kinds of activities help you to exchange knowledge among each other and learn new things. And if you really don’t want to get out of your house very often, then you can sometime prepare a dish for all the family which will make the whole family happy. Or you can even go out for a long tour like to Pokhara, Lumbini, et cetera with your friends or with your family members and folks; you are staying at Nepal, which is considered to be the second richest country in natural beauty around the world. Some students are so lazy that they think this is the time to rest and do nothing, so, they celebrate “Do Nothing Day” everyday… hahah!!!


 So, my friends get up and think new, think creative and work and enjoy everything you do. And I would like to wish all the SLC graduates a very best of luck for the upcoming SLC result. And, the most important thing, never take stress and tension about anything, especially SLC results to my fellow friends…. And, enjoy every second of your life like you have never before…

I Dream!

Secured future is not that I dream of.   To travel across the land, To meet and interact, To explore and see, See through the many eyes. To capture a story and Send it knocking at the doors, So that folks can have something to read with a morning cup of tea. To meet the star-crossed lover, Experience a timeless love, And recreate a new Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. To picture a portrait of aging time, As people retell the name and fame. Ends a heroic tale of the teller in a slumber of life. In my sound slumber, I dream........ -Tong Man

Recipe For A Sound Slumber??

Image
Get up early. And I mean, really early. You feel cold? Go and take a shower. Not hot, but cold shower. [You can't? Why can't you? A simple lad can get up early and attend his part-time job, so why can't you?] Stretch your body. And stretch like it's gonna tear up. 'Cause you've got a long day. No, don't make breakfast. Dress up. And change your hairstyle into more of an exotic. Carry a bag with all the supplies you need. Carry your camera. Put on an extra jacket if it gets a little too cold. Put on your boot and get out into the streets. Get yourself some milk and sandwich on the way.(Make that two sandwich and milk) Talk with the lad who sells you milk and sandwich early in the morning. Know his story. Take his picture, smile and thank him. Get on a bus and eat on the way. Talk with strangers on the bus. Interact. Capture their stories and photos. Get out of the valley and into the wild. Though not faraway deep in the wild, go into the wild.[You...

Young and Dumb!?!

Image
“‘ We were once young and dumb.’ It has become such a cliché that people tend to visualize them synonymous to each other. Sure, back in the days, I was young and dumb, but, that trait led me to various adventures and experiences. I have travelled across the land, narrow and wide, climbed my way up to some ferocious mountains, sailed across the dark deep sea, even jumped into it. I have travelled to many foreign lands, witnessing first-hand their indigenous culture and tradition, and spoke many tongues. I watched their devotion and practices in the name of their God. I have walked the busy streets into the dark alleys and into the knocking shop. I have climbed up the ferocious dragon’s back 1 . I have rested my feet in a cave sitting beside a fire. I survived and came out of a thundering rainy season, a desert hot summer.  I have gone to the suburb seeking, begging for food and water. I have travelled far and wide exchanging currencies and wealth. I have...
