Struggling with Summer

-

The temperature has touched 26°C today and with this my tussle with the hottest time of the year has begun. Nepal experiences summer from May to August every year and on average throughout the day, temperature rises to 25°C and the humidity ranges from 65% to 80% in Kathmandu, where I live. This kind of high humidity adds up even more hotness. Every year the summer season begins with few bright days, but most of the days in this season are rather dark, dull and cloudy. I blindly believe that the nature is perfect but still I complain about the summer season throughout it. So today I decided to prove how summer is so much a struggle.

 

Like everyone else I believe that the seasonal change brought by the nature must be welcomed with open arms. Without the season change, we won’t be able to eat these variety of fruits and vegetables which grow only in one specific season. And I am also not unknown to the fact that our daily diet rice is planted as wheat during this rainy season, so that we get to eat it 12 months a year. As I mentioned before, it is quite warm in this season due to which we wear flimsy clothes to feel cooler, but the problem begins here. All the exposed part of the body are under the threat of mosquito bite that is quite intolerable especially when they start causing sleepless nights. And there is dengue fever and malaria to make things even worse. There is always mosquito repellents available all over the market, but after some time even the mosquitoes are immune of the ordinary repellents. We all know that the multiplication of germs and bacteria is caused due to sweat because of the temperature and high humidity that this season offers us.

 

 The hot temperature both indoors and outdoors, the sweat and mosquitoes does not make life any easier. So summer is quite a suffering for everyone, but still I do not detest this season as availability of mangoes and lychees in this season make all this struggle somehow less insufferable. However all of us must have considered that the summer season is quite a struggle.

The Unwanted Parcel

     It was a snowy Saturday morning in the chilly cold month of December somewhere in Dehradun, which was about 241.4 km from Delhi, capital of India. I came here all the way from Lalitpur, Nepal with my parents to travel around Dehradun, a popular tourist destination of India. We also had a plan to visit a Medical College named Dehradun College of Medical Sciences, a renowned college of India, for me to study MBBS in it the following year as I was studying in grade 12 that year. We had rented a small house that belonged to some local rich man. The house was a kilometer away from the college hostel, and we stayed there as we could not find any suitable lodges in the town and those available were quite uncomfortable and dirty. It had been 3 days since we got here. My mother had just ended a phone call with my maternal grandparents, who were in Nepal. They were quite upset that they could not come along with us as the winter in Dehradun was quite unbearable and they w...

Post Class Reflection: Week 8

Today, on 2 nd September, 2020, we attended one more English Class. I took today’s class with same joy and excitement like the previous classes. There were 2 very interesting presentations lined up for today which made us happier. All of us were eager to begin today’s class and so were the presenters to present their presentations.   The class began with two of my friends presenting on a short story named “Mr. Know All” written by William Somerset Maugham. This was a very interesting story that was presented in an even more fascinating technique. This story deals with the theme of “ Never judge a book by its cover” , with the mentality of people who still carry thoughts of racism. The story tells us that the outer appearance could never unveil the inner reality. The various aspects of this story were presented by the presenters such as the racism that had been shown within the story and various other angles of the story that made it even clearer.     After this, ...

Post Class Reflection: Week 6

  “Knowledge is a treasure that follows its owner everywhere.” So with this positive note, I would like to begin post class reflection of today’s English class, which was as spell binding as the previous classes. One and half hours of learning with equally interesting interactions and discussions with Eak sir was all I needed to write this blog. Today we mainly discussed on Technical Communications part, where we learnt how to write “Incident Reports” and “Lab Reports”.   Firstly few of my friends presented on “Incident Reports”. It was a type of report which was written by the observer of some kind of incident especially damage of physical property or some kind of mishap. These kinds of reports had to answer all types of Wh-questions i.e. what, where, when, etc. regarding that incident such as place, time, cause, effect and damage caused. A reader of the incident report had to understand the entire scenario of the incident and its effects. It had to be completely different...
