Religious Cult of Sumnima

      Once Sumnima a famous book by B.P. Koirala was a topic of great discussion on  its religouus theme. It is the matter of cult that incorporates religious beliefs, traditions and practices. The novelist Koirala is very mindful of the religious differences and conflict that arises out of the difference, too. Suryadatta, the ascetic hermit tells his son Somdatta that Kirats are non-Aryans and “Non-Aryans follow the religion of beasts, but whereas we believe in the religion produced by gods”  Sumnima says that being human beings we should not follow gods’ behavior  She further adds: “Somdatta, we should practice human customs as we are human beings”.

         Somdatta has the arrogance of being a Brahmin more than a human being and tries to convince Sumnima: “Sumnima, you ignorant girl, we are Brahmins who can achieve divinity by the power of penance. All our fire sacrifices, religious activities, rituals and practices are fused together for achieving a salvage from human weaknesses; do you understand?. Sumnima does not lose her heart and refutes 

Somdatta’s argument: “If we try to live like gods, we don’t remain human”.Koirala has brought the Hindu varna system in reference to show the difference among the ethnic groups that the Brahmins are the ascetics, their duty is to go to the jungle in search of greater knowledge and Kshatriyas have kingly duty to protect the Brahmins form all dangers and save their lives and the king has the duty of managing the society. The Kirats and Bhillas have erected the hermitage for the ascetic Brahmin family and they have presented Suryadatta’s family with a milking cows. When a prince of the state visits the Brahmin family there in the hermitage, he commands his people that the ascetic family should be protected from hunger and other dangers. In addition, on the complaint of Suryadatta, the prince addresses a royal decree to the Kirats and Bhillas that they shall not sacrifice the cows and piglets around the hermitage area and declares that the place will be called Varahakshetra, or the region of the boar-god and it will be a “pilgrimage site symbolizing the incarnation of Vishnu as Varaha as propounded in our religious texts.

           The Kirats and Bhillas can continue their rituals but they have to shift the altar of sacrifice beyond the ridge. The Bijuwa, Sumnima’s father who is the head priest of the kirtats agrees to arrange the altar of slaughtering of cows and piglets at a different place beyond the hermitage area, though there is a conflict among his people. 

         

My Experience of Earthquake

I was at home reading books, suddenly the window shakes and produce noise. I was afraid and ran towards my mother .we were afraid .the door were making a lot of noise. The house was shaking,it remained for at least 5o second. We came out of the house to an open space when earthquake stopped finally. They were  falling , people were coming out of the house, it was too cold outside. 

I tuned radio which announced the 7.9 rector scale. Many people were dead, many houses were collapsed and, in the meantime, radio announced that our Dharahara was collapsed. We were so sad to here that. People were crying because they had already lost their friend family and loved one. My closed brother Dippu was dead falling from wall. We went to his house, everyone was crying.it was so sad moment. several after-shake came for many days, we were compiled to stay in the tent because of fear. My heart was moving faster because of after shake .we knew about so many landslide and collapsed of ancient houses and temples. 

My heart still trembles if I remember that day. Our country lost so many primitive natural properties. Earthquake destroyed the dream of people, their houses, school, land, bridge and so many things. We didn’t go to school for so many days. More than 15000 people died. I am very shocked .It was so bad for my country and all Nepalese people ,our country pushed far behind and taking a long time to recover from that disaster .Government announced the package for affected people but that took so long time to rich the people, so many people became homeless ,penniless, without family . 

How To Prepare For First Date

First Dates:

      No matter how much you chat before you meet, they’re always a dive into the unknown. So it’s normal to feel nervous. You may not be able to control how you feel, but you can control how you prepare. It’s easy to tell yourself not to overthink things, but when your imagination is running wild with scenarios reminiscent of those old Dr Pepper ads, it’s time to put that brainpower to better use. 

      While these tips can’t guarantee you amazing chemistry, they’ll help to make you feel a bit more at ease. That way, you’ll be one step closer to the easy-going and fun conversationalist that everyone dreams of being, or meeting, on their first date. 

     When online dating, it makes sense to do a cursory search to check that people are who they say they are. But once you’ve done your background check, try not to over indulge.You’ll get a deeper understanding of someone if you find out about them in person. So while you may be tempted to read all about their latest holiday, it’s better to start a new relationship on a level playing field. You’ll want to keep an element of surprise, after all. 

  Plan where to go 

    Naturally, you’ve already organised somewhere to meet (and if you haven’t, quickly take a look at our summer date ideas to sort something out, pronto). But it’s worth checking out the area to make sure you’ve got a plan B – or somewhere to go to afterwards if the conversation is flowing. 

 Having a couple of places in mind (without having to resort to Google) will make you seem like an omniscient demi-god. Or at least confident and decisive. It’s a win-win situation. 

  Ask questions 

Simply ask some questions having simple answer. And, by being the focus of your interest, your date will come away feeling like they’ve made a more meaningful connection. 

  Try to relax 

Take a few deep breaths. Go for a run. Have a large glass of wine. If you’re feeling anxious, do whatever you can to take your mind off the meeting, because dating should be fun, not stressful. An unsuccessful first date may seem like a waste of time, but every meeting can be viewed as a learning experience instead. There’s no right or wrong way to go about it. And if you’re relaxed, hopefully they’ll be relaxed, too.
