The rapidly melting mountains are signaling danger

The rapidly melting mountains are signaling danger

Excessive burning of fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal by countries is one of the major challenges and risks faced by the least developed and developing countries such as Nepal which geography is in a sensitive state. It rises from as low as 59 metres (194 ft) elevation in the tropical Terai—the northern rim of the Gangetic Plain, through beyond the perpetual snow line to 90 peaks over 7,000 metres (22,966 ft) including Earth's highest (8,848-metre (29,029 ft) Mount Everest.

In my opinion, the countries which are depending on fossils fuels as a source of energy need to take acute action to save the planet and make a better place for living beings. 

Thank you!

The Crying Sirsiya River (Birgunj): A Tale of Neglect and Hope

The Crying Sirsiya River (Birgunj): A Tale of Neglect and Hope As I journeyed along the India-Nepal border, my second visit to Raxaul, India, was marred by a troubling sight. Amidst the routine of travel and commerce, my attention was drawn to the Sirsiya River. What I beheld was not the serene flow of a typical river but a dismal sight – its waters were a deep, ominous black.  I approached the river anxiously, but the workers who were digging a ditch along the bank warned me not to get too close. They cautioned that the water was falling heavily and the river itself was polluted and dangerous; touching it could cause numbness and itchiness. Despite their warning, I observed the scene and managed to take two or four pictures. Reflecting on the experience, I felt compelled to write something.   Current situation of the Sirsiya River ( Photo by Tek)   The Sirsiya River, originating in the pristine Ramban forest of Jitpur Simara Sub-metropolitan 3, was once a symbol of ...

Machapuchare’s Silent Cry: A Reflection on Beauty and Loss

Image
Today, I came across a recent photo of the majestic Machhapuchhre Mountain in Nepal, standing tall at an elevation of 6,993 meters (22,943 feet) . Commonly known as "Fishtail" for its unique peak, this mountain is one of Nepal's most iconic and breathtaking landmarks. Nestled in the Annapurna massif of the Gandaki region, Machhapuchhre remains unclimbed, protected by Nepal’s government, which has never granted a permit to ascend its sacred summit. While climbing the peak is prohibited, visitors can trek to Machhapuchhre Base Camp at 3,700 meters, where they can immerse themselves in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Annapurna Sanctuary. But as I reflect on this, my heart grows heavy with the realization that this beauty is fading. In recent years, due to a combination of factors including global warming and climate change, the snow and water reserves on our mountains have been vanishing at an alarming rate. The once pristine, snowcapped peaks are turning barren, their shimm...

Social Research: A Guiding Light for Decision-Making In social science research, effective decision-making requires an emphasis on obtaining relevant and accurate information about the organization’s internal and external environments. The primary goal is to provide timely and meaningful insights to senior management, enabling them to plan and execute informed decisions. The research process within organizations typically follows several key stages: 1. Problem Identification This stage involves monitoring and analyzing the internal and external environments to identify key  issues or challenges. Through this process, researchers conduct a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) to gain a deeper understanding of the situation. Data on emerging problems and opportunities is gathered. For example, an Indian garment company looking to expand internationally would need to research market trends, brand awareness, consumer behavior, and competitor analysis. Fai...
