SELF HELP LEARNING

Nepal, a land of extraordinary natural diversity and rich cultural heritage, holds immense potential for tourism. Nestled in the lap of the Himalayas, the country boasts eight of the world’s ten highest peaks, including Mt.

 Garbage management is a big problem in Nepal. With the growth of cities and population, waste is increasing every day. Many people throw garbage on roads, rivers, and open spaces. This makes the environment dirty and unhealthy. In cities like Kathmandu, piles of waste can be seen in many places. Poor garbage management causes bad smells and spreads diseases. It also harms animals and pollutes water sources. Plastic waste is one of the biggest problems because it does not decay easily. There are some efforts to manage waste properly. The government and local bodies collect garbage from houses. Some people separate waste into biodegradable and non-biodegradable items. Recycling and composting are also slowly increasing.

Advantages of Social Media Social media helps us stay connected with friends and family, even if they are far away. We can share pictures, messages, and videos quickly.

Soft Storm  Summary  "Soft Strom" is a poem written by creative Nepali poet, Abhi Subedi. This poem is written in free verse with a beautiful blend of natural and social description. Simply, it shows the journey of the speaker through narrow lane and lightening of Kathmandu city at night but in its deeper sense, it projects people's indifference feelings towards miserable conditions and sufferings of the people, male practices, tumult atmosphere, and chaos in the Nepalese society. The main theme of the poem "Soft Storm," is that the poet has developed indifference feeling over the absurdities of tumultuous times in the Nepalese society. In other words, the poet thinks about the contemporary situation of the Nepalese society. The poet is not happy with the present situation of the country and warns all the concerned authorities to think in time. Otherwise, he sees a revolution in near future. Dwell upon the Text a. When does the speaker grow soft? Enlist the occ...
