Book : The Good Earth

Auther : Pearl S. Buck

Publisher : Collins Publication

First Published : 1932 A.D.

Genre : Fiction, Drama

 

“The Good Earth” written by Pearl S. Buck, is an American Classic novel based on the struggles and hardships of the mid twentieth Chinese society. The story shows the misery and melancholy of the rural yet developing Chinese society.

Plots:

Wang Lung, a farmer of a rural province of China lives through poverty. Just like other farmers of his time he lives with uncertainty and dependence on the natural rain and nature. He is a simple minded farmer, who contains traits like perseverance, dedication and optimistic feelings. Days after days he toils in his field and through his extreme hardship and unexpected luck, Wang Lung attains wealth, which was unimaginable to him before. The story continues with a change in Wang Lung’s characters from a simple and kind person to an arrogant and greedy figure. As the proverb, “Money is the root of all evil” , Wang Lung gets himself in luxury and lavish life. He also gets involved in immoral activities and gets involved with concubines/ prostitutes. As the story continues we can see his family slowly falling apart. This brews mistrust among the family members and Wang Lund looses his peace of mind. Wang Lung longs for peace in the family but as the family breaks there is only quarrel in the family. Over time as there grows greed in Wang Lung’s sons, it is seen that they slowly weaken his wealth and lead to their down fall.

 

The book “The Good Earth” provides readers an essence of the traditional community, class hierarchy and many more. The writer has minutely and more carefully elaborated …………. and every insight of the story. Having lived in China, Pearl S. Buck has managed to beautifully express the small incidents that went in the Chinese society.

I really like how all the plots are connected. One incident such as the communist revolution affects the life of the family drastically. The book shows the tragedy of wealth and the change in psychology over time with respect to situation that arise. One can learn to value the simple life and understand the dangers of wealth.

I really recommend this book to all the teenagers. Contemporary readers should take a step back from modern fiction, and experience the pain of hardship, joy, betrayal, misery, this Chinese drama presents. I would definitely consider this book “a book to read and re-read” – as the knowledge in it is vast and essential.

A Visit to the Zoo – Animal Feeding Program - by Shuvanjali

 

A Visit to the Zoo – Animal Feeding Program

Introduction

A zoo is a place where different animals are collected from different places and exhibited for all to see and enjoy. In Nepal’s Kathmandu, the Rana Prime Minister Juddha Sumsher Rana established the Central zoo in 1932, at Jawalakhel, Lalitpur. Presently the zoo is managed by NTNC ( National Trust for Nature Conservation ). The zoo has a large area with a large central pond, believed to be constructed by King Siddhi Narsingh Malla.

Currently the zoo has different sections for different types of animals. They are :

1.      Ruminant Animal Section : (Spotted Deer, Krishnasar, Swamp Deer, Samber Deer, Goral, Barking Deer, Blue Sheep, Blue Bull )

2.      Cats and Feline Animal Section : (Royal Bengal Tiger, Common Leopard)

3.      Rino and Hippo Section : (One-horned Rhinoceros, Hippopotamus )

4.      Primates Animal Section : (Assamese Macaque, Siamung, Common Langur, Chimpanzee)

5.      Birds Section : (Emu, White Storck, Pelican, Parrots, Cacatuwa, Love Birds, Dhaphe, Munal, Peacock)

6.      Reptile Section : (Crocodile, Alligator, Snakes, King Cobra, Python)

7.      Fish Section : (Piranha, White Tiger Shark, Aquarium fish)

8.      Other Animals : Elephant, Buffulo/Arna, Sloth Bear, Gunnia Pig, Porcupine, Jackel, Hyena

In front of the animal cages, the zoo has provided an Information Board to inform the visitors about the nature of the animals. The following information are provided by the board:

1.      Common Name in English and Nepali

2.      Scientific Names (World-wide names given by scientists)

3.      Habitat ( What kind of land the animals prefer to live in )

4.      Weight (Average weight of an adult animal )

5.      Diet ( What they generally prefer to eat )

6.      Gestation ( How many days pregnant to give birth and how many kids are born at one time)

7.      Life span ( Average life of an animal)

I learnt a lot of things about the animals, from the given information.

 

Feeding the Animals

It was a cloudy day on September 7, 2022, Wednesday. We hoped it would not rain and program to visit the zoo would not be cancelled. We the students of St. Mary’s School’s “Friends of Zoo (FOZ)” were going for an “Animal Feeding Program”, organized by the zoo.

All the students of the “Fiends of Zoo” were gathered in the assembly ground at 9.45 am. All of us were carrying our aprons, gloves, mask, sanitizer and our lunch and were ready to go to the zoo. Since our school was very near to the Central zoo, we went there by walking, with our friends.

When we reached the zoo, we were warmly welcomed by the zoo’s staff. Then, we were led to a small hall were we learned about the animal’s diet, weight, age etc. We also learned about the dos and don’ts about the zoo. After that, we wore our aprons and groves. We were divided into four groups. All four groups were led to the zoo’s kitchen. In the kitchen, we saw different food being washed, chopped and weighed and kept in buckets. A pelican was also being hand-fed. I had a chance to feed a fish to the pelican. Each group had to transport the food bucket to the animals’ cages.

Our group was feeding the deers. We learned about their habitats, diet, weight and lifespan. We also observed other animals like the hippo, rhino, tiger and jackal and many birds like parrots, peacock, cacatuwa and emu. We enjoyed and had a good time to see all the animals.

At 12.30 pm, we gathered by the pond to have our lunch. We say a lot of people boating also. After our lunch, we played some games with our friends. We also say some other students from different schools. We also saw the zoo’s elephant – ‘Pawankali’ – walking around the pond.

We also went to see the Chimpanzees. I heard that the two chimps were smuggled into Nepal from Nigeria in 2017. They were then kept in the zoo and Mr. Ramkaji was responsible in taking care of them. The two chimps were named “Champa and Chimpu”.

After finished our lunch, we were called to the hall again. The group leaders had to tell what they saw and did to all other students. We thanks Ms. Rachana Shah, the Incharge of the zoo, for giving us this opportunity to visit and feed the animals.

Ms. Rachana also informed about the various programs that are held by the zoo. “Adopt an Animal” Program was very impressive and I was excited about this idea of adopting an animal. I hope that one day, I will be able to adopt an animal when I get my own salary.

Thank you once again to the zoon family and SMS FOZ family.

A Busy Day - By Shuvanjali

 A Busy Day

Friday 12^th August 2022 was Krishna Janmasthami, and it was a school holiday. We could not do anything special but in the evening, me and my father went to visit the famous Krishna Mandir of Patan Durbar Square. This is the most famous and popular temple of Lord Shree Krishna, and a large number of devotees visit the temple on this day. It was about 9pm when we reached the temple, and there were a large crowd and a long queue of people waiting for the darshan of Lord Krishna.

Saturday 13^th August, 2022

Today was Saturday, so we woke of late. We had our usual breakfast of Roti + Omelet + Milk (which was a “BIB” – ‘Breakfast In Bed”). I got ready for the day, not knowing how it would be a LONG and BUSY day !

After breakfast, I was finishing my school’s homework and suddenly I remembered that my good friend Riya had told me that her mother was admitted here in the Patan Hospital. When I told my dad, he told me to confirm with Riya by telephone. After speaking with Riya, I found out that her mom had given birth to a baby boy, and she too is coming to Patan Hospital. I was excited. We quickly made a Congratulation Card, and got ready to visit them in the Patan Hospital’s Maternity Ward.

We hurried to the Maternity Ward, and the good thing was I knew Riya’s mother’s name, so it was easy to search her name in the Admitted Patient’s Name. Her bed number was 254. We found Riya, her mother and the new baby there – and we gave our Congratulations to them. I also met Riya’s father in the Hospital.

After we talked with Riya, my father told me to invite Riya to our Quarter. So I invited her to my place. Since we had a big ground where we could ride our cycle, I let Riya ride my bicycle. I introduced her to my other friends from the quarter also. We showed her all the places where we play, including our “Children’s Play House”. We gave her some snacks, and she told us that she needed to leave. So I dropped her in the hospital and I also spent some time there, watching her grandmother clean the baby and bathe and oil him.

By then it was lunch time. We had our lunch, which was prepared by my mom, at around 12 pm. We had to prepare ourselves to go to the Airport to drop my mom. My mom had to go to Bharatpur by plane, so we had to drop her at the Domestic Airport. Her flight was at 2pm and we reached the airport by 1 pm. At the Airport’s entrance gate, only passengers were allowed to enter the terminal building. All bags and luggage were X-ray checked at the entrance – but I sneaked in to bid good-bye to my mom, and the guards did not mind either.

After dropping mom, our plan was to visit Pashupati Nath Temple. It was mid-day, and was very hot. Pashupatinath temple was very near the Airport. At the entrance my dad had to take off his shoes. Because of the heated floor, almost everyone was jumping and some parents were carrying their children, so that their feet would not burn. I was allowed to enter with my slippers, but at the main gate, another guard told me to put aside my slipper, so that we could do the darshan.

Inside the temple, we visited many small temples and idols, like the Vasuki Nath, Budhanilkantha, Ganesh, Saraswoti, Shree Krishna, Bhairab, Dakshinkali, Hanuman etc. There was also a place where there were hundreds of small Shiva Lingas, arranged in a Maze like pattern, and we walked through this maze-like place. There was also a temple at its center. We were lucky to enter the main Pashupati Nath Temple and encircle it and do the Darshan from all four sides. Soon after, it was time to close the Temple !! We also saw Arya-Ghat, where the deceased people were getting cremated.

We also went to the Deer Forest, across the Bagmati River, but we did not find any deers, and we returned because the path was steep and it was too hot to continue. We will again go there on a cool day.

On our return, we found a street vendor selling bead-bands with our names in it. So we bought some of these bands, with our names, for me, my brother and my friends.

By this time, it was 3pm, and we then went to Maiti Devi house to meet Hajurba and Hajurma. They were both fine and were pleased to see me. We could stay there only for 15 minutes, because it was getting dark, and we had a plan to go swimming also, so we had to reach our quarter quickly.

After reaching our quarter, we got ready to go to the Swimming Pool at Satdobato, along with my Dada. While returning from Maiti Devi, we were nervous because it was getting darker and darker, and we feared that it might rain and we will be forced to cancel our swimming program. Luckily it did not rain, and we reached the Pool by 4.30pm. The reason we needed to go the Pool was that Dada had a swimming competition on Monday, and he needed to practice for it.

In the Pool we swam from two hours from 4.30pm to 6.30pm. Dada practiced hard and did well also. He completed 25m in just 47 seconds !! I also did and underwater sommer-sault and also taught my dad how to do it. We had a very fun time there and we were all tired. We also had some nice snacks of yogurt and donuts.

We walked back to our quarter from Satdobato Pool. Dada went for a haircut and we returned and took nice baths.

Today we all three were quite tired. We had our dinner at 9pm. To avoid doing dishes, we used disposable plates.

Finally, it was the end of a very long, busy and tiring day, because we had several events all in one day. The day was however enjoyable. I talked to my mom who was in Bharatpur before going to bed. By 10pm I was in my cozy bed……. and I dozed off……. after writing my diary……..

GOOD NIGHT !! SLEEP TIGHT !! DON’T LET THE BED BUGS BITE !!!

Corruption

 

How corruption and bad policy making lead to a country’s failure?

There are many causes for a country’s failure. The major causes for a country’s failure is corruption and bad policy making.

Corruption

Corruption refers to the act of fraud and using power for personal gain. The corruption in any level, causes obstruction in development activities. Corruption hampers the national progress, it brings a serious social disharmony. Those who misuse their power or bribe those in power may progress overnight. It brings an undue pressure to the life of ordinary citizen. Democracy is debased by wide spread corruption. Laws are openly violated and people have to pay extra for services which are supposed to be cheap. Due to corruption, criminals are not punished and victims are not getting proper justice. Corruption in any sector affects all the sectors, leading to slow and unmanaged administration. With increasing corruption country’s efficiency decreases. Poor countries get poorer and huge amount of money that is invested is not properly utilized. Thus the status of health, education, and quality of education remains low. The available resources and infrastructures are misused and national income is reduced. A corrupt government will have a faulty administration where laws are openly violated and systematic government is not present. As a result there is high misuse of budget and thus the government and the country will collapse eventually.

 

Bad policy making

Various policies are made by the government during their term. These policies determine the country’s workflow and development status. The country’s policies directly affect it’s economy. Thus to maintain the economy suitable and correct policies need to be adopted on the basis of the actual study of the country’s condition and interests rather than the policies influenced by internal politics.

The current Sri Lanka’s economic failure is also due to the bad policy making by it’s government. The government overlooked the consequences and took large amount of loans and invested in non-income generating infrastructures such as roads, bridges, sea ports etc. It also lowered the tax for citizens drastically which lowered national agriculture production causing decline in the country’s income. In the end the government opted to print money to pay back the loans causing inflation which lead to the situation it is in today.

 

Corruption and miscalculated/faulty government policies lead to a country’s failure. They both are a serious problem. Corruption is prevalent everywhere and its effect is also seen, according to data mainly the most corrupt countries are the poorest in the world. Accountability and transparency thus leads a country to a systematic and upright path whereas corruption acts as a barrier. The policies maintain the country’s economic status and functioning of day to day administration, thus appropriate policies and control of corruption is vital for a country.

कुहिरो भित्र स्कुल छ,

चौंरीलाई चराउँदै दिन बित्छ,

पढ्नु र लेख्नु मुस्किल छ । हिउँमा कोरेको अक्षर त,

एकछिनमा बिलाई जाइजान्छ, दिनभरि हेर्नु छ गाईबस्तु,

नहेरे भालुले खाइजान्छ ।  लेकका हामी केटाकेटी, ....... नागीमा उडेको धुवाँ त,

बादल बन्न जाइजान्छ, बादलको अक्षर आकाशमा,

हिउँले पो औंला खाइदियो, कुहिरोमा लुकेको इस्कुलले,
