Long Questions
1.
Do you call Rakesh a
devoted son? Give reasons.
Yes, I call Rakesh a devoted son. He
always did whatever his parents have advised or wanted him to do like; good
academic performance, crucial part of a boy’s life which is marriage, and also
choosing to get back to his own nation and live with his family though he could
earn a lot of more money living in the USA. Though Rakesh stucked at some part
of giving his father a happy life but he had tried his best. He always used to
separate time for his old father despite of being very busy in his professional
life. He never wanted his father to suffer. Hence, I think that Rakesh is a
devoted son in the sense that he is able to put his own wishes aside for their
betterment.
c. A Nepali proverb says “Neighbors are companions for
wedding procession as well as for funeral procession.” Does this proverb apply
in the story? Justify.
Yes, this proverb applies in the story.
Neighbours are the real companions of life who keep on passing their lives with
us in various situations. Neighbours are need in every step of life no matter
joy or sorrow. They are the companions for wedding procession as well as a
funeral procession. Here in the story, we find the nieghbours involvement in
various events. The story has mainly focused on three close neighbours who are
seen living their lives sharing and caring for eachother. We find the concept
of share, care and help among the neighbours in the story. During the
pregnancy, the young woman was cared, assured, presented gifts by people of her
neighbourhood. These neighbours are seen passing time teaching each other,
enjoying and shouting, living in a neighborhood. Thus neighbours in the story
are seen as the best companions as mentioned in the proverb.

A strange dream you
have dreamt in your life.
Last night I dreamed a strange
but interesting dream. In my dream a snake was chasing me. I was running away
from the snake. Suddenly wings grew up from my hand and I flew in the sky. I
felt relieved while flying in the sky. Everybody was looking at me from the
road, house and ground. Then at last I landed on the ground. There was a crowd
of people looking up at me.
Then again when I tried to fly, I
could not. I check my hand and noticed that my wings were gone. I
was in total confusion. I stopped for a while and realized that everything I saw
was dream. I found myself in my bed.

The review of a
film you have recently seen
A few day ago I saw a Nepali film
named “Buhari” which means daughter in law. film was very interesting, humorous
and ironical as well. The main characters of the film were Shree Krishna
Shrestha, Jala Shah, Sunil thapa, Neer Shah and so on. There was a great crowd
of people in Jai Nepal Cinema Hall to watch this film. The songs of the film
were popular and heart touching. No one could help laughing when Shree Krishna
Shrestha and Sunil Thapa appear in saris and blouses as beautiful ladies.
The story of the film was based
on the social problem deeply rooted in Nepalese society. In our society, the
daughter- in –laws have to face many problems. If the daughters in law cannot
bring a lot of dowry, they are insulted and humiliated in the family as well as
society. In the film “Buhari” Jala Shah is not accepted as daughter in law due
to her poor family background as a result she has to face many obstacles. In
life when she gives birth to her son Shree Krishna Shrestha, hi father is not
ready to accept her as his wife in the beginning. But at last the hero and his
father realized their faults. This leads to happy reunion of the family and
they live happily ever after.
Very less violence has been used
in the film. The dialogues, action, music and costumes of the film are very
much realistic and based on Nepali society.

Write a letter to
the editor in chief of a newspaper explaining about a road problem of your locality.
Kshetrapur, Narayangarh
15th Sep. 2023
To
The Editor in Chief
The Kathmandu
Post,
Kathmandu, Nepal
I shall feel highly grateful to you if you publish the
following lines in your newspaper.
All the people of our area want waking up. Private
appeals and requests have had no effects. Perhaps, little publicity will do no
harm. For nearly one year, Kshetrapur to Baseni road has been almost
impassable. The surface of the pitch is badly broken up by the heavy rain and
over flow of heavy trucks and buses. As a result, there are large pits in the
middle of the road. Both the sides of the road have been overtaken by the local
people.
Moreover, there are heaps of sand, stones and bricks on
both sides. That leaves very little place in the middle only that is full of
pits. The vehicles have to be driven slowly and still there is a great
possibility of accident. I am sure the public will bring pressure on those
responsible authorities. Thus, I want to draw the attention of the concerned
authority to take quick steps for repairing the road as soon as possible.
Yours faithfully
Hemanta Parajuli
