Over the past few years, tourism has become one of the major contributors to the economy of several nations. When tourism has many good aspects but that does not mean that it does not have any darker facets. Of course, it has, if not many but definitely some.  The first important thing about tourism is it has created employment. Tourism sector utilizes natural resources, art, culture, tradition and even literature to draw more national and international tourists in the country.  Tourists spend money on a wide range of services such or hotels, transportation, foods and purchasing local produce. This way national and international tourists help country’s economy grow fast. Tourism does also boost travel industry and helps to improve basic infrastructure.

  Computers and teachers are meant for the betterment of students By Prashna Bhari It has rightly been mentioned that the use of computers has brought a sea change almost in every field. Hardly has there been any field where computers are not used nowadays. After all, computers make difficult tasks much easier. Due to the rapid pace of technological inventions, computers have become more sophisticated and much more effective. With the help of computer technology, modern science has achieved many successes, which are simply mind-boggling indeed.  Many techno-friendly people suggest that when computers are so smart and capable of doing amazing things, why not allow computers to teach students in schools, colleges, and universities?   Well, I am completely against this idea. Certainly, computers are the lifeblood of modern science. Modern science cannot be imagined without computer technology. But it does not mean computers can replace teachers. No matter how inte...

  Development for underdeveloped countries By Parisha Ranabhat It is a dream of poor countries to achieve economic development. They want to drive their countries on the smooth path of all-round development. But it is easier said than done. Poor countries must work hard to uplift the basic infrastructure of their countries. Without developing those infrastructures, real economic development will remain an illusion and far from reality. Among many important infrastructures, three sectors of the economy—health, education, and trade—must be taken with utmost sincerity.  The health sector is important in the sense that if most people are healthy, they are fit to make physical contributions. However, in poor countries, the health sector is in a poor state, and most people struggle even for minor ailments. Time wasted on treatment is time lost for their physical and mental contribution for the country. This is not the case with rich countries.  Poor countries should also ...

  AN ETERNAL LOVE By Shrisha Koirala I take some steps toward the love of my life. The one true love that has supported me throughout my life’s hardships. The one true love that has never left my side, irrespective of the situation. As my steps drew closer, I’m reminded of how this dearest has helped me realize my mistakes. Eventually, all these life experiences helped me become a better person.  “Oh, another typical love story."  You may say so. But this is not the kind of story you’re expecting. This is the story of my love for someone who is still not someone. Don’t be confused anymore, because I intend not to confuse you. I want to tell you about my eternal love story.  This is my love for my piano—an eternal love, to be more specific. The story of love between a piano and its instrumentalist. A story of sadness, desperation, despair, and separation, but a beautiful story nonetheless.  I think this story started the day I first laid eyes on my pian...

  SHOULD POOR COUNTRIES DEPEND ON RICH COUNTRIES FOR THEIR DEVELOPMENT? By Sajjan Acharya Undoubtedly, the health, education, and trade sectors play an indispensable role in developing poor countries.  These sectors play a crucial role in boosting the national economy of a country. Poor health services cause many people to scramble for medical assistance. This will keep them off the job until they are cured. In the meantime, the skilled workforce of the country is capable of changing the face of the country. And education is the only institution that produces skilled manpower for the country.  Not only the education sector but also the trade sector are equally important for the all-round development of the country. Without improving trade, no poor country can think of economic development. Trading is directly proportional to the economy of the nation. It is seen in countries like China and India that, because of their increasing trade with other nations, their econo...

  REVOLUTION IN COMMUNICATION By Sital Bhandari Email is a new invention that has made communication much more convenient. Due to emails nowadays, letter writing has become less popular. I agree that emails have brought revolution to the modern world. However, I still believe that the practice of letter writing will not disappear and will remain alive.  In fact, emails are also a form of letter writing. Emails are much more convenient to communicate with each other, no matter how far they are apart. But they can communicate almost instantly. This is not possible with letter writing. One has to wait for days before a letter is received by the post. A letter can be lost on its way before reaching its destination. There is almost no security when letters are sent.  Anyone can open the letter. But this is not the case with emails. They are safe and secure due to a strong password. During the early period, letter writing was a popular form of communication. After reaching ...

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AND EVER-INCREASING TUITION FEE By Rosmi Thakuri Paying the university tuition fee is always difficult for many international students all over the world. On the one hand, tuition fees are increasing on regular basis, and on the other hand, international students are not getting enough part-time jobs. In this situation, it will be an uphill task for international students to continue their studies abroad. Thus, some scholars, however, suggest removing certain subjects like arts, history, and philosophy to reduce the cost of education. Many academicians believe that the arts, philosophy, and history do not hold any significance, and therefore students are not much benefited from the study of such subjects.  Nevertheless, some scholars do not stand in support of those who think that subjects like arts, philosophy, and history should be taken out of the course. They strongly believe that the arts, history, and human psychology are extremely important subjects....

By Pramisha Sapkota In this modern era, science and technology have made tremendous progress in almost every sector. Learning has become much more accessible today than in the past. Even classroom studies can be substituted by online platforms to a large extent. However, even though online learning has gained popularity, many people are still skeptical and believe that physical classes are more pragmatic than online classes.  With the help of online learning, thorough research can be done on the subject. Several websites and YouTube channels are potent sources of learning. Moreover, through Skype and similar applications, distant learning has become highly successful. During the COVID pandemic, when the nation was under complete lockdown, all colleges and schools were closed. But through Google and Skype applications, many educational institutions successfully conducted their classes....

  Working while studying: Is it ok or not? By Pramisha Sapkota   It is a fact that many students work while studying. Part-time jobs might bring financial independence to students, but it is also true that they will definitely cause them stress. However, there are many pros and cons to a part-time job while studying.  Most of the students do part-time jobs because of their weak financial condition. This is not the case with the children of wealthy people. Working while studying will help students become more responsible. They also understand their responsibilities to their families and society. Moreover, youngsters can get work experience that will certainly help them get a well-paid job in the future. In addition, working part-time will teach them the value of time and money. Most importantly, a part-time job will bring financial independence into their lives. The students can meet their expenses; otherwise, they will depend on their parents.   Unfortun...
