My brother and I fought regularly to feed or carry her. Suri loved all the attention and love that we showed towards her. She, in turn, amused us with her silly and funny behaviour whenever we were around. She soon grew to be quite big and healthy. She would walk around the house with pride and grace. She spent most of her time indoors watching television and growing fat. She enjoyed Discovery Channel and Cartoon Network. Her favourite cartoon was Tom and Jerry. Suri rejected all brands of cat food and enjoyed what we would eat. She liked rice, chapati, dal, vegetables and potato pickles. Chicken curry was her favourite! Suri was very choosy about visitors as she was about her food. With some visitors, she was friendly, while with others she would keep some distance. If she liked you, she would sit quietly beside you expecting your attention. However, if she was unhappy with your presence, she would frighten you with all kinds of mischief. I am sure Suri would do this to humiliate me because she was jealous of my friends. Whenever I spent my valuable time with my friends, she became unhappy. After my guests would leave my house, I would look at her happy and smiling to herself in front of the television set and I would have no option but to forgive her. Alas, Suri is no more with me today. She died last year due to natural causes. Yamuna Bista Grade 9 BURN Energy – Encender tu llama cuesta muy poco - #StudyOnFire Reservados todos los derechos.

I found her shivering with cold in the corner of the street behind my house. She stole my heart immediately. I could not neglect her, so I brought her home.

The dense forests of pine trees, willow trees and bushy plants gives the village a green look and the jungles of rhododendron, chestnut, raspberry, nettle, hemp and many other plants makes the place look colorful and splendid. The presence of birds like partridges, nightingales, owls, doves, crows, eagles, kites, vultures and barbets makes it exciting for the bird lovers. In addition, the presence of various species of wildlife makes the place dangerous yet interesting. The Gurung community in the village has their own language and culture that they respect and preserve. The main festival in Ghalegaun is Lhosar. It falls on the Nepali month of Poush (December/January). Dashain and Tihar are also celebrated here during the Chandi Purnima (full moon) in May.

I was there on a holiday, but had become seriously ill. Pratikchya was the patient in the next bed. She not only kept me company the whole time I was in hospital, but also visited me for many weeks after she recovered from her own illness. When I returned to Bhairahawa, we kept in touch by letter. Then, about a year ago, Pratikchya moved to another town with her parents and started going to school there. Sadly, we have lost touch with each other, but I will never forget her kindness and help. In her spare time, Pratikchya liked to read. She loved detective stories and crime novels. She used to bring me many of her favourite books to read. I remember she also spoke about the karate lessons she went to twice a week. Pratikchya had a quiet but very friendly nature. She was generous as well as kind-hearted. Whenever she visited me, she always brought flowers and chocolates. She spoke in a low voice because she was rather shy. She also blushed very easily, although she had a great sense of humour. Pratikchya was pretty. She was tall, fairly slim and in her mid-teens then. She had a small pretty face, with smiling eyes and long straight brown hair. She liked to dress casually in bright, colourful clothes which matched her personality. Urmila Shrestha Grade 9 Reservados todos los derechos.

Pratikchya, An Old Friend a64b0469ff35958ef4ab887a898bd50bdfbbe91a-2050095 12 Essays & Letters The Festival Of Shivaratri Hindu devotees worship and offer their reverence to Lord Shiva. Huge crowds gather at Pashupatinath temple to worship lord Shiva. Devotees from different parts of Nepal as well as from Southeast Asia come to Kathmandu a week before the day. The devotees keep fast for the whole day and pray in Shiva temples all over the country. A large number of devotees come to this temple on Shivaratri as it is one of the most significant temples of Lord Shiva in the continent. Devotees stand in line for hours to get a glimpse of Lord Shiva on this auspicious day. Sadhus from different parts of the continent can be seen in the temple. Often a fair is held around the Pashupatinath premises for a week during the Shivaratrifestival. Also holy offerings and pujas are conducted. In the evening, people light a holy fire in front of the temple of Lord Shiva. Devotees bring logs and woods from their home to burn in the fire. They take rounds around the fire chanting the name of Shiva. It is believed that keeping the half-burned woods or sticks at home protects it from evil. On this day, some people smoke intoxicating marijuana and drink bhang as they consider them to be the prasad of Lord Shiva. Nonetheless, this is a malpractice that may lead the youth towards committing social crimes under its influence. Shivaratri should be celebrated in a responsible manner so that proper tribute can be paid to Lord Shiva.

Finding the location was not so easy. Even after we got there, we didn’t get a place to sit. The place was filled with people; we had to wait for fifteen minutes to get a table. Nevertheless, the wait was worth it. Mr. Sharma owns and runs this restaurant in one of the corners of the town. He has been in business at that very same location since the time my father was a young boy. Even though the place looks a little old, it is definitely not because of lack of care. In fact, Mr. Sharma is proud of how clean he keeps his place. He has often been heard to say, “It doesn’t matter how poor a person is. They can be clean.” It is not a fancy restaurant. The carpet is old and faded. The wooden tables are chipped and scratched in places. The paint on the walls is cracked and there is a smell of toasted cheese in the air. That night we found that Mr Sharma’s Pizza Place was a centre of social activity. When entering the door at Mr. Sharma’s Pizza Place, two things are immediately noticeable - the place is never empty and seems to consist of a maze of rooms. The first room, as you enter, is the main part of the restaurant. There is another, rarely used, dining room off to the BURN Energy – Encender tu llama cuesta muy poco - #StudyOnFire Reservados todos los derechos.

This room contains the most special table in the place. The highest honour that Mr. Sharma can give to anyone is to allow them seats at this table. This table is the family table and it is reserved for Mr. Sharma’s family and close friends. Mr. Sharma’s Pizza Place is always filled with sweet smells of the food. This smell brings water to anybody’s mouth. The smell is never the same and depends on what is being cooked at the time. However, whatever is being cooked, it will taste as good as it smells. The best part of being here is not the food. It is the feeling of being part of Mr. Sharma’s extended family. The last time I was at Pizza Place I felt like time had stopped. It was as if nothing had changed except the amount of grey in Mr. Sharma’s hair. The phone still rings constantly, the young people still gather around and the same aromas fill the place. Everything is just the same. Deep Rana Grade 10 BURN Energy – Encender tu llama cuesta muy poco - #StudyOnFire Reservados todos los derechos.

Yet, the most famous pyramids are located in Egypt. The remains of approximately ninety pyramid sites are scattered across the country. However, the pyramids of the Giza plateau are the best known. Three giant stone structures are built on the desert floor and are visible for miles. Still why are they there and who built them? Pyramids were used throughout ancient Egypt as tombs for pharaohs. Pharaohs ruled the kingdoms of ancient Egypt. They were more than just ordinary kings. Ancient Egyptians believed that the pharaoh was a living god who they had to worship and obey. When the pharaoh died, he had to be buried in a special place. Therefore, it was important to build such a huge monument to bury him. Because the pyramids are so old, many of them are now just piles of stones but the pyramids at Giza are still standing tall. The largest of the three, the tallest pyramid in the world, is the Great Pyramid of Giza. It was built for the pharaoh Khufu in 2570 B.C. For nearly 4,000 years, this pyramid was the tallest building on earth. It was originally 480 feet tall, but because of erosion, it now stands at 450 feet tall. Each side is 750 feet long. Egyptologists or people who study ancient Egyptian history, are amazed by how precisely this giant structure was built using the primitive technologies that would have been available. For example, the builders were able to make each side the same length. The Pyramids’ sides also face exactly north, south, east and west. Originally, Egyptologists thought that it took hundreds of thousands of slaves almost 30 years to build the Great Pyramid. Today, the most accepted theory is that farmers worked on the pyramid during the times of the year when they did not need to be in their fields. It is also now believed that only about 30,000 people were needed for the construction. Reservados todos los derechos. No se permite la explotación económica ni la transformación de esta obra.

My house, as well as most of our neighbours’, nearly always has a vase of flowers from her garden in the living room. She is very good-natured and always has time for a chat. She is also patient. She hardly ever gets annoyed about anything, except when children pick her favourite roses and lilies. However, she tends to be quite stubborn. Once she has made a decision, nothing can change her mind. Mrs. Upreti always seems to be busy doing something. She spends a lot of her time looking after her garden. She also sings very well. She often organizes group prayers and sings bhajans beautifully. Besides that, she is a trained classical dancer. She is very active even at this age. When she is not home, she is usually off somewhere raising money for one charity or another. She is a very noble woman. Overall, Mrs. Upreti is the perfect next-door neighbour. She is helpful and kind to all, whether humans or animals. She is liked by everyone in the neighbourhood. Since my grandmother does not stay with us, I feel like she is a grandmother figure to me. I am very fond of her. Shikshya Gurung Grade 9 BURN Energy – Encender tu llama cuesta muy poco - #StudyOnFire Reservados todos los derechos.

I first met her when she knocked on my door and asked for a spade because she had not yet unpacked hers. She had only moved in two days before. Physically, Mrs. Upreti looks younger than most other women in their late sixties. She is of average height, neither fat nor thin. Her round face is framed by a mass of wavy white hair and her sparkling blue eyes show her humour and friendliness. She prefers wearing casual, comfortable clothes. I don’t think I have ever seen her in a perfectly ironed suit. a64b0469ff35958ef4ab887a898bd50bdfbbe91a-2050095 18 Essays & Letters London: The City That Has It All There are many impressive sights to see in London, from the historical beauty of St Paul’s Cathedral and Big Ben, to Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament. In this city of contrasts, we can be walking along one of the busiest streets, yet still be less than a mile from one of the many huge, peaceful parks. London is a great cultural centre, too. The National Gallery contains one of the finest collections of classical paintings in the world. London is also well known for other things apart from its monuments and art galleries. Shoppers will enjoy visiting the department stores on Oxford Street or they could try Harrods, the most exclusive shop in London. For evening entertainment, the choice of theatres is enormous. From the famous Southbank Theatre complex to the smaller theatres of Covent Garden, there is no end of plays to see. Soho and its pavement cafes are also worth visiting. London is also one of the fashion capitals of the world. Many people, who aspire to be designers or models, go to London to realize their dreams. It is a very popular destination for people who love fashion as they can find exceptional designer clothing in London.

More than 50 festivals are celebrated every year. These festivals vary according to the culture, ethnic community and per seasons. Among all these festivals, the festival I like most is Gai Jatra. It is one of the most popular festivals in Nepal. This festival of cow is celebrated every year in August/September. In this festival, the family who has lost a relative during the past one year must take part in a procession by sending young boys in cow like attire and walk through the streets of Kathmandu lead by a cow. Cow is also the national animal of Nepal. It is said people in ancient time started worshiping Yamaraj, “the god of death” on this day. The current form of Gai Jatra with amusing acts, caricature, comedy and was started by King Pratap Malla. I like this festival most because this festival is about humour, satire, comedy and mockery. Along with that, this festival also teaches us to accept death as a part of life. In this festival people who have lost their loved ones also gets to console themselves as they can see that they are not the only ones. Gai Jatra is a festival that helps people to admit the reality of death. It heals misery and sorrow. So, among all the festivals of Nepal, Gai Jatra is the one I like most.

He started Rana’s family rule in Nepal in 1847. It took one hundred and four years for the Nepalese to get rid of this Rana rule. Jung Bahadur was the son of an army general. His father named him Bir Narsigh Kunwar but his maternal uncle, who also became a prime minister later, named him Jung Bahadur because he was brave and unafraid of anything since his childhood. Jung Bahadur was born in Borlang of Gorkha district in 1816. Since his father was a respected man in the palace, he joined the army at the age of sixteen. Later, he became the bodyguard of King Surendra. People say he had to do many dangerous works during those days. There are some interesting stories about his works. Once, King Surendra asked a pedestrian to jump from the top of Dharahara. Dharahara is a nine-storied tower in Kathmandu. The pedestrian said, “My Lord! I cannot do it. No one can do it. Only Jung Bahadur can do it.” Immediately the king called Jung Bahadur and asked him to jump from the top of Dharahara. Jung Bahadur then took a very strong umbrella as his parachute and jumped. The king became happy. People share another similar story about Jung Bahadur. It was monsoon and the king had been to Nuwakot. The Trishuli River was in its full brim. The king asked a nearby fellow to jump into the river. Then he too said, “My lord! Only Jung Bahadur can do it. My lord! Forgive me! I can’t do it.” The king called Jung Bahadur and asked him to jump into the river. Jung Bahadur asked the king to give him a horse so that he could avoid falling on a stone. Then, riding on a horse, he jumped into the river. The river swept away the horse but Jung Bahadur swam across the river and came out.

Tsunamis are caused by disturbances in the ocean, such as an earthquake or undersea volcanic eruption. Although underwater disturbances are the most common cause of tsunamis, they can also occur if a large meteorite crashes into the ocean. Tsunamis may be quite small when they are far out at sea. However, as they draw closer and closer to shore, they gather power. One sign of an approaching tsunami is water that goes away from the shore. This occurs because so much of the ocean water is sucked into the wave as it gathers strength. Tsunamis do not consist of a single wave. One wave follows another in a series that may last several hours. They have destroyed homes, schools and entire coastal towns in minutes. The force of a wave as it breaks can be strong enough to travel several hundred feet inland. An island in Alaska, the USA was hit by a tsunami and later, Hawaii was struck, too. The waves measured between 24 and 32 feet in height and arrived at 15 to 20 minute intervals. By the time the tsunamis had run their course, 159 lives had been taken. The devastation of these tsunamis led a team of scientists and government officials to create the Pacific Tsunami Warning System. They hoped that people would never again suffer such great losses because they were unaware of a tsunami’s approach. They set up a system to monitor earthquakes that could cause tsunamis. They also determined ways to predict the time of arrival of tsunamis so that people would have time to leave the place. Unfortunately, there was no such warning system covering the Indian Ocean on December 26, 2004. An enormous earthquake took place and caused the deadliest tsunami in history.

Waves that are only a few feet tall hold enough energy to knock you off your feet. Now, try to imagine the power of a wave that is 50 feet tall and more than 100 miles wide, travelling at speeds of as much as 500 miles per hour. It’s easy to see how such a wave could destroy an entire town. a64b0469ff35958ef4ab887a898bd50bdfbbe91a-2050095 Descriptive Essays 23 Plans are being made to create a global tsunami monitoring system.

They say they were formed about ten million years ago. The other mountain ranges like the Urals in Europe, the Rockies in North America and the Andes in South America are older than the Himalayas. The Himalayas stretch about 2400 kilometres. They cover a large area of central Asia. They stretch from Afghanistan in the west to Bhutan in the east including some parts of Pakistan, India, Nepal and China. The Himalayas are most famous for their tall peaks. More than one hundred mountains higher than 6,000 metres are standing side by side in the Himalayas. The Himalayas are home to more than thirty highest mountains in the world including the world’s highest mountain, Mt. Everest. Eight of the top ten highest mountains of world are in Nepal. Nepalese are proud of having such glory. The Himalayas have played an important role in the history of Asia. The high peaks of the Himalayas are considered sacred in many religions including Buddhism and Hinduism. Mt. Kailash in Tibet, for example, is considered as the abode of Lord Shiva and his wife Parbati. Standing in between, the Himalayas separated the people on the south from the people on the north for a long time. The tall mountains prevented the people from having an easy contact with each other. Besides, they also prevented people from getting into wars. Since there was no close contact among the people living on the two sides of the Himalayas, they became quite different. Their languages, foods and festivals are really different. The Himalayas have protected the people on the south. They block the cold wind from the north and make the southern face warm. They are also the source of perennial rivers like Koshi, Gandaki and Karnali in Nepal, Sindhu in Pakistan, Ganges, Brahmaputra and Sutlej in India. These rivers are fed with huge glaciers sliding from the mountain tops. BURN Energy – Encender tu llama cuesta muy poco - #StudyOnFire Reservados todos los derechos.

These mountains are called the Great Himalayas. In Sanskrit, Himalaya means ‘home of snow’. The name is a suitable one because the slopes of the mountains are permanently covered in snow.
