Reena Ranjit, kathmandu : Spreading your wings and leaving the nest is a major step towards freedom for must young people. But when is

the right time to make the move?  Cearly there are lots of factors to consider before you decide to branch out on your own-and money is the biggest. While living at home might cramp your style. It’s certainly economical. Renting a flat can be an expensive business, so bear in mind that you’ll probably have less cash to spend on yourself. Sharing a flat can reduce the cost and can be great fun, but it isn’t always plain selling. If you fall out with your flatmate or he or she suddenly moves out, you could be left to foot the bills.
Then there’s the question of where exactly to live. Moving a long way away from family and friends might seem like an adventure, but it can be very lonely. You will also need to consider things like transport, and how easy it would be to get the work or college.
Getting a place of your own can be exciting and few of us want to live at home forever. But the time has to be right. Before you pack up and go, talk to older friends and family. After all, they were once in your shoes themselves. So weigh up the pros and cons and don’t leave home until you’re good an ready. That way you’ll be able to savoir your new found independence to the full.

Deepak Neupane, kathmandu : Imagine the scene. You wake up every day to the sound of birdsong. Throwing open your bedroom window, you look out on a vista of green fields and rolling hills. There is nothing but open countryside.
Does this sound idyllic? Well not to me. Of course, living in the middle of nowhere might appeal if you’re elderly, or if you’re winter looking for inspiration. And ‘getting away from it all can be quite relaxing in the short term. But if you think life is for living, the last thing you should do is go and live in the countryside.
So what makes city life any better? Well, let’s start with the people. Where else can you meet such an interesting mix of the job opportunities. Where but in a city will you find such a range of choice? And when you want to relax, just think how much culture and entertainment is waiting for you, often just a short bus ride away.
I’ve spent most of my life in the city and I wouldn’t live anywhere else .I’ve been able to meet an incredible mix of people, see the best shows and entertainers, and keep up with the latest trends and fashion. Life is never dull in fact there’s too much to do. Would I exchange all that for life in the country ? Never in a million years!

ऐनको प्रावधान

Reena Ranjit, kathmandu : It is often assumed that a look at our origins will lead us to the meaning of life . It certainly did not work out that way for Dr . Frankenstein’s creation . Desperate to know where he had come from , unlike us he discovered the awful truth. Yet what he found out did not reveal life’s meaning, it just upset him. Perhaps instead of answering the question of why we are here by looking backwards we should look forward . What future goal would make this life worth living ? The problem with working towards goals was identified by the philosopher of common sense , Aristotle. His argument was that we do many things for the sake of something else. We eat to live , work to pay the bills , study to pass exams and so on . But unless at least one action is done for it’s own sake , there is no point in doing any of them. Not everything can be a means to an end: there must be ends which are valuable in their own right .There is much that makes life precious enough to hold on to and savour. So what gives people’s lives value ? It might be relieving the suffering of other, helping one’s children build their futures, or overcoming a problem. But life is uncertain and we are often thrown off course. The basic answer to the question of life’s meaning is probably this: there are more reason to live rather than die , and they are to be found in the living of life itself.
