Gen-Z को क्रान्ति: भ्रष्टाचारको राक्षसी अनुहारमाथि जनताको लात, तर मृत्यु र नोक्सानीले मन कुँडिएको छ

नेपालको सडक रगतले रङ्गियो। वि.सं. २०८२ भदौ २३ र २४ (सेप्टेम्बर ८-९, २०२५) मा Gen-Z युवाहरूले नेपालमा भ्रष्टाचार, नेपोटिज्म र सत्ताको दानवीय दम्भविरूद्ध सडक तताए। यो आन्दोलन केवल नेपालको कथा होइन, यो विश्वव्यापी रूपमा ट्रेण्डिङ्मा रहेको "नेपो किड्स मुभमेन्ट" को उपज हो, जहाँ नेताहरूले जनताको करमा आफ्ना छोराछोरीको विलासितापूर्ण जीवन चलाउँदा जनताको रगत उम्लिएको छ। तर, यो क्रान्तिको आगोमा १९ युवाको मृत्यु र सार्वजनिक सम्पत्तिको नोक्सानीले हाम्रो मन कुँडिएको छ। केपी ओलीको राक्षसी अनुहार, उनको झोले-झ्याम्टेहरूको कायरता, र जनताको पैसामा रजाइँ गर्ने फटाहाहरूको पतनको यो कथा हो। कथा होइन टिप्पणी हो।

यो आन्दोलन किन जन्मियो? किन Gen-Z सडकमा उत्रियो? यो केवल सामाजिक सञ्जाल बन्दको विरोध थिएन। यो त जनताको रगत-पसिनाले कमाएको पैसामा नेताहरूका छोराछोरीले विदेशमा महल बनाउने, लक्जरी गाडी चढ्ने, ऐयासी गर्ने र विलासिताको जिन्दगी बिताउने नेपोटिज्म विरूद्धको विद्रोह थियो। विश्वभरि "नेपो किड्स" को यो ट्रेन्डले नेताहरूको सन्तानको जीवनशैलीलाई निशाना बनायो र नेपालमा पनि यो आगो बल्यो। केपी ओली, शेरबहादुर देउवा, आर्जु राणा, विष्णु पौडेल, सूर्य थापा, प्रचण्ड, बाबुराम जस्ता नेताहरूले जनताको पैसालाई आफ्नो सात पुस्ताको सुखका लागि लुटे। यो सहन नसकेर नै युवाहरू सडकमा आए।

केपी ओली, यो दानव, जसलाई कायर नेताहरूले "राजनेता" को पगरी गुँथाए। तिनीहरूको तर्क थियो, "उनको त छोराछोरी नै छैन, कसका लागि भ्रष्टाचार गर्छन्?" यो झुटको खोल ओढ्नेका छाला च्यात्ने काम Gen-Z युवाहरूले गरे। झापाको कनकाई नगरपालिकामा ओलीको "मित" मेयर राजेन्द्र पोखरेलको घरमा ८० केजी सुन भेटियो – यो सुन जनताको रगत-पसिनाको कमाइ हो, जुन यो राक्षसले लुकाएर राखेको थियो। भदौ २३ मा प्रदर्शनकारीहरूले पोखरेलको घरमा ढुङ्गामुढा गरे र यो सुनको रहस्य बाहिर आयो। यो सुनले ओलीको चोर अनुहारलाई नाङ्गो बनायो। यो मान्छे होइन, सत्ताको भोको राक्षस हो, जसको बास नर्कमा हुनुपर्छ! तर यो राक्षसको दानवीय रूप यतिमा सीमित छैन। भदौ २३ मा काठमाडौँको सडक रगतले लतपतियो। प्रहरीले शान्तिपूर्ण प्रदर्शनकारीमाथि टियर ग्यास, रबर बुलेट र वास्तविक गोली चलायो। १९ युवाहरूको ज्यान गयो, सयौँ घाइते भए। सबैभन्दा क्रूर घटना तब भयो, जब सिभिल अस्पतालको इमर्जेन्सी कक्षमा घाइतेलाई लैजाँदा पनि प्रहरीले गोली र टियर ग्यास चलायो। यो आदेश काठमाडौंका CDO छवि रिजालले दिए, तर यो राक्षस ओली र उसको मन्त्रिपरिषद्को लालमोहरबिना सम्भव थिएन। यो क्रूरता देखेर संयुक्त राष्ट्रसंघ र अमनेस्टी इन्टरनेशनलले समेत अनुसन्धानको माग गरे। यो दानवको मनमा मानवता छैन, केवल सत्ताको लालच छ! यो आन्दोलनले रवि लामिछानेको रिहाइ पनि ल्यायो। उनलाई सहकारी ठगीको झुटो मुद्दामा फसाइएको छ (धेरै जनतालाई त्यस्तै लाग्छ)। गोरखा मिडियामार्फत करोडौं हिनामिना भएको आरोपमा उनलाई ८४ दिन जेलमा राखियो। तर, सूर्य थापा जस्ता ओलीका झोलेहरूले बनाएको संसदीय समितिको प्रतिवेदन कमजोर थियो। भदौ २४ मा Gen-Z समूहको दबाबले रवि धरौटीमा छुटे। यो विजय हो, तर धनराज गुरुङ जस्ता फटाहाहरू अझै स्वतन्त्र छन्। मितेरी सहकारीबाट १२ करोड लुट्ने उनकी पूर्वपत्नी ज्योति फरार छिन्, तर धनराज छाती फुलाएर हिँड्छन्। यो दोहोरो मापदण्डले जनताको रगत उम्लिन्छ! ओलीका झोले-झ्याम्टेहरूको कायरता पनि लाजमर्दो छ। सूर्य थापा, जसले "म झोले हुँ" भन्दै ओलीको हनुमान बनेर हिँड्यो, भदौ २४ मा Gen-Z को डरले एमाले छोड्यो। अपुतो ओली देशै छोडेर भाग्यो। योगेश भट्टराई, राजेन्द्र पोखरेल र अखिलका फटाहाहरूले पनि कट्टु मुतेर पार्टी त्यागे। यसरी पार्टी त्याग गर्नु उनीहरूको विवेक होइन, डर हो – Gen Z को आगोले यिनीहरूको कायर अनुहार नाङ्गो बनायो। यो क्रान्तिको आगोले ओली, देउवा, आर्जु राणा, विष्णु पौडेल र प्रचण्डका घर जले। बूढानिलकण्ठमा देउवा-राणाको घर र स्कूलमा आगजनी भयो, विष्णु पौडेललाई खोलामा लखेटियो र प्रचण्डको घर पनि निशानामा पर्‍यो। यी भ्रष्ट नेताहरूको घर जल्दा हामीलाई दुख छैन, किनकि यिनीहरू जनताको रगत चुस्ने राक्षसहरू हुन्। तर, सडकमा टायर बाल्दा, प्रहरी भ्यान जल्दा, र सरकारी कार्यालयहरूमा आगजनी हुँदा हाम्रै करको पैसा खरानी भएको छ। १९ युवाहरूको मृत्युले हाम्रै मन कुँडिएको छ। यो हाम्रो क्रान्तिको सबैभन्दा दुखद पक्ष हो। यो आन्दोलनले ओलीको राजीनामा ल्यायो, रविलाई छुटायो, र सुन काण्ड बाहिर ल्यायो। तर, यो क्रूर राक्षस ओली र उसका झोले-झ्याम्टेहरूको अन्त्य हुनुपर्छ। यिनीहरूको बास नर्कमा होस्! अब हामीले शान्तिपूर्ण तर शक्तिशाली तरिकाले सुशासन र न्याय माग्नुपर्छ। जेन जेडको यो आगोले भ्रष्टाचारलाई खरानी बनाओस्, तर हाम्रो सम्पत्ति र युवाहरूको जीवन जोगियोस्। यो क्रान्ति रोकिनु हुँदैन – यो रगतको मूल्यले साँचो परिवर्तन ल्याउनुपर्छ!

यो आन्दोलनको फाइदा उठाएर कोही सत्तामा पुगेपछि फेरि खड्गे ओलीजस्तो तानाशाही नबनोस्। नत्र हाम्रा छिमेकीहरुले फेरि आफ्ना तीघ्रा ठटाउँदै खुच्चिङ् भन्नेछन्।

हजार आँखा यी आँखामा — समीक्षा

पढ्दै जाँदा मुटुमा गढेको: प्रेमिल भावनाले भरिएको एक अनुपम कृति

आकारमा छरितो भएकोले होला, खासै पढ्ने इच्छा नहुँदा नहुँदै पनि यो किताबका पाना पल्टाएँ। 

पुस्तकको आवरण पृष्ठ

मनले दुई चार पाना पढेर झ्याउ लागेपछि एकातिर मिल्काउने सल्लाह दिँदै थियो। जब मैले यो पुस्तक पढ्न सुरू गरेँ, एकाएक मन प्रफुल्ल हुँदै गयो। किताबभित्र प्रेमिल गीतहरूको यस्तो समृद्ध सङ्ग्रह भेटिएला भन्ने कल्पना पनि थिएन।

प्रेममा आकाशे झरीले क्याटालिस्टको काम गर्छ सायद! बाहिर परेको झरीले गर्दा हातका औँलालाई जिब्रोमा छुवाउँदै किताबको बटम राइट कर्नरमा राम्रै दबाब दिन सुरू गरियो। दुई चार पन्ना पढेर यत्तिकै छोड्छु भनी सोच बनाएको किताबलाई रेटिनाले पुरै स्क्यान गरेर सिध्यायो।

पढिसकेपछि मैले यसअघि यो जत्तिको चित्ताकर्षक कुन पुस्तक पढेको थिएँ भनेर सोचेँ तर याद गर्न सकिन।

यो कृतिमा प्रेम छ, मर्म छ, भाव छ, पवित्रता छ, मिठास छ। यो कृति प्रेमले सुसज्जित छ—केवल एकप्रकारको प्रेम होइन—बाल्यकालको, यौवनको, वृद्धावस्थाको, स्थूल र सूक्ष्म चेतनाको, सबै तहको प्रेम। कतै यसले देवकोटाको ‘मुनामदन’को गहिराइ बोकेको छ, कतै प्रेरणादायी मोटिभेसनल पुस्तक जस्तो लाग्छ। कहिले यो एउटा प्रेमीको एकान्त कथा जस्तो देखिन्छ, त कहिले सयौं मान्छेका भोगाइहरूको सङ्गालो जस्तो।

एउटा गीत लेखेर मैले कैयौं कथा अन्त्य गरे
मनभित्र चल्मलाएका सयौं व्यथा शान्त गरे
रहरहरू उम्लिरहने न्याना ताता यौवनभरि
आगोजस्तै पोलिरहने व्यथै व्यथा सिरानभरि
आधा रातमा ब्यूँझिएर सबै सपना बन्द गरे
एउटा गीत लेखेर मैले कैयौ कथा अन्त्य गरे।

कुनै ठाउँमा यो कृति गुणरत्न माला जस्तो छ:

छोरो तँ सबै जस्तो हुनू म जस्तो नहुनु
संसारलाई फाँडेर हिँड्नू बसेर नरुनू
कोमल मनले यो संसारमा आँसु नै पाउँदछ
फूलको मुस्कान छल गरी यहाँ हुरी नै ल्याउँदछ
तँ काँडा हुनु तँ भाला हुनू नौनी तँ नहुनु
कहीं फूल देखे कुल्चेर हिँडनू मायाले नछुनू

अर्कोतर्फ, यसभित्र भारतीय गीत ‘हर घड़ी बदल रही है रूप जिन्दगी’ को भाव पनि झल्किन्छ—

हरघडी उमेर मात्र अग्लिरहेछ
जिन्दगी त मैनजस्तो पग्लिरहेछ

हाँस्न खोज्दै सँधैभरि जल्नु मात्र छ
बाँच्या भन्दै दिनदिनै बल्नु मात्र छ
शिखाझैँ यताउता हल्लिरहेछ
जिन्दगी त मैनजस्तो पग्लिरहेछ

अन्त्यमा कविले भनेका छन्:

मातिएर केके भनेँ रक्सिएर केके बोलेँ
नसोच्नू तिमीले यो, मैले सबै सत्य बोले

पुस्तकमा प्रेमको कुरा मात्र गरिएको छैन, जीवनका अनगिन्ती भावनाहरूको प्रतिनिधित्व गराइएको छ। यहाँका शब्दहरू कुनै गीत होइनन्, ती त चोट खाएका मनका चिह्नहरू हुन्, जुन पढ्दा पाठकको हृदयभित्र गहिरो सन्त्रास उत्पन्न हुन्छ। यो पुस्तक कसैले भोगेर मात्र लेख्न सक्ने पीडा र प्रेमको सन्तृप्त घोल हो, एक प्रेमीको अन्तरआत्माबाट निस्किएको विलाप हो।

प्रेमको सौन्दर्य मात्र होइन, त्यसको अपूर्णता, वेदना र चिरस्थायी छापलाई पनि यहाँ उजागर गरिएको छ।

यो कृति कुनै साधारण किताब होइन—यो प्रेमको, पीडाको, आत्मबोधको, र मानवीय संवेदनाको अनुपम कोलाज हो। जसलाई पढ्दा पाठकलाई लाग्छ ऊ आफूभित्र लुकेर बसेका भावनाहरू पढिरहेको छ, किताब होइन आफैँलाई पढिरहेको छ।

पृष्ठ सकिए पनि प्रभाव सकिँदैन—शब्द टुङ्गिए पनि अनुभूति बाँकी रहन्छ।

Meet the Supporting Legends Who Complete the Classroom Symphony

The magic of Hababam Sınıfı isn’t just in its storyline—it lives in its unforgettable side characters, each offering their own dose of laughter, love, or life lesson.

Semra Öğretmen

Hafize Ana

The warm-hearted woman peon (played by the legendary Adile Naşit) who feels more like a second mother to the boys than a school staff member. She’s the silent protector, the snack-provider, the emotional glue of the school. Her affection is constant—even when the boys get under her skin.

• Fear may control behavior, but love shapes character.

Film Review: Malena (2000)

Poster source: wikipedia.org

Malena isn’t just a film—it’s a poetic reflection of human desires, societal hypocrisies, and the quiet battles individuals endure in a world that seldom shows mercy. Giuseppe Tornatore crafts a timeless tale that explores not only the radiance of beauty but also the shadows it can cast in a world obsessed with appearances.

The narrative unfurls in a small Sicilian town during World War II, where Malèna (Monica Bellucci), a widow, becomes the center of attention, gossip, and judgment. Her mere presence divides the genders: while the men idolize her as an object of desire, the women scorn her with envy and resentment. This stark contrast in perception lays bare a profound truth—what men see as a treasure, women often view as a threat.

As the story delves deeper, the fragility of societal integrity becomes painfully evident. It reminds us how easily communities abandon truth in favor of sensational gossip, how eager they are to weave tales that serve their prejudices. The town turns into a courtroom of whispers, condemning Malèna without evidence, a haunting reminder of how easily rumors can override reality.

Renato, a teenage boy, stands apart in his silent admiration of Malèna. His infatuation mirrors the universal experience of youthful obsession, that time in life when romantic longing eclipses all else. Tornatore captures this phase beautifully, showcasing how Renato forgets food, sleep, and responsibilities, consumed by his dreams of Malèna. His journey embodies every boy’s rush to adulthood, that naive desire to "become a man" for the woman of his fantasies.

At its heart, Malena is a critique of societal cruelty. Tornatore doesn’t shy away from depicting how communities exploit the vulnerable, taking advantage of their helplessness rather than extending a hand of compassion. Malèna’s beauty, instead of protecting her, becomes her cross to bear. While many know the truth of her innocence, their silence—rooted in fear of isolation or retaliation—cements her suffering. It’s a striking metaphor for the silent individuals in every community: those who know what’s right but are too intimidated to speak up.

Yet, amidst the bitterness, Malena offers a glimmer of hope. It shows how even the faintest trace of truth, when recognized, can alter lives. Renato’s quiet observations of Malèna transform him over the course of the film. He grows from an infatuated boy to a compassionate young man, carrying the burden of unspoken empathy for a woman the world misunderstood.

Life, as the film poignantly conveys, is riddled with hurdles. Whether it’s Malèna fighting the cruelty of society or Renato wrestling with his adolescent turmoil, the struggles they face underscore the importance of resilience. In their own ways, both characters show us that the path forward often requires facing adversity head-on, even when the world seems irreparably broken.

Malena isn’t merely a visual masterpiece; it’s a philosophical journey. Tornatore masterfully captures the complexities of human nature, exposing the flaws of judgment and the power of empathy. It’s a story that reminds us how fragile reputations are, how dangerous silence can be, and how transformative a single voice of understanding can become.

This is not just a film about a beautiful woman—it’s a mirror held up to society, forcing us to question how we treat the people we misunderstand or envy. Above all, it’s a call for courage, truth, and compassion, the very qualities that made Malèna’s story unforgettable.

Themes & Symbols of Shambhala (2024) Movie

The main theme of Shambhala revolves around a woman's journey of self-determination amidst societal pressures, family duty, and patriarchal expectations. The film explores how Pema, the protagonist, navigates through the challenges of polyandry, loyalty, and personal integrity while seeking to prove her innocence against rumors of infidelity. Her quiet resilience, determination to confront her estranged husband, and her pursuit of truth represent the central theme of female empowerment and agency.

Another significant theme is spirituality and transcendence, as the story is infused with the belief systems of Pema's community, where mystical and ethereal elements subtly influence the narrative. The film contrasts the oppressive social expectations on women with the protagonist's journey towards self-emancipation, set against the breathtaking but harsh landscape of the Himalayas.

SYMBOLS:

Shambhala is rich with hidden symbols that represent deeper themes in the film. Here are some of the key symbols and what they represent:

1. The Looming Mountains: The majestic and harsh landscape of the Himalayas symbolizes the internal struggle and resilience of Pema. Just as she must endure the challenging terrain in her search for truth, the mountains reflect her emotional journey—rigid, formidable, and isolating, yet also awe-inspiring and beautiful. The vastness of the mountains also signifies the overwhelming societal pressures she faces.

2. Polyandry and Family Dynamics: The polyandrous marriage system in the village is symbolic of traditional societal constraints that limit Pema's autonomy. It highlights the tension between individual desires and cultural expectations, as Pema must navigate her role as a wife to multiple husbands while dealing with the unfairness of being judged by patriarchal standards.

3. Pema’s Pregnancy: The baby in Pema's womb can be seen as a symbol of hope, renewal, and agency. Despite the rumors surrounding the child's paternity, Pema remains steadfast, indicating her determination to control her own destiny. It also reflects the theme of motherhood as empowerment, with Pema not defined by the men in her life but by her ability to nurture and bring life into the world.

4. Karma's Monastic Life: Karma, one of Pema's husbands, who is a monk, represents the spiritual conflict between worldly responsibilities and spiritual detachment. His gradual warming up to Pema symbolizes the idea that true connection and fulfillment lie in balancing both spiritual and worldly ties.

5. The Sweater:

Karma frequently compliments Pema’s sweater when he cannot express his emotions directly. The sweater symbolizes unspoken emotions and the delicate thread of connection between the characters. It becomes a metaphor for the way relationships are woven together, often in complex and unseen ways.

In Shambhala, the sweater that Pema begins knitting after her marriage with Tashi symbolizes emotional connection, patience, and her inner resilience. Knitting the sweater becomes a metaphor for how she weaves through her complicated relationships, especially within the context of polyandry. Just like knitting requires time, care, and precision, Pema’s journey in managing her role as a wife to multiple husbands, dealing with accusations, and maintaining her dignity is a slow, deliberate process. Furthermore, the sweater reflects her quiet emotional strength. It also becomes a subtle way of expressing her connection with Karma, her monk brother-in-law, as he often compliments it whenever he struggles to express his feelings directly. This shared moment with Karma symbolizes their growing emotional bond. The sweater thus acts as a silent language through which Pema communicates her resilience and the emotional depth of her relationships. In a broader sense, the sweater represents how Pema creates warmth and comfort amid the coldness of her societal surroundings and personal trials, emphasizing her nurturing role even when surrounded by doubt and suspicion. 

6. Dreamlike Interludes and Mystical Elements:

The sepia-toned, dreamlike sequences in the film hint at the spiritual and mystical dimensions of Pema's journey. These interludes suggest that her path is not just physical but also a spiritual quest for truth, self-actualization, and peace. The ethereal elements point to the constant interplay between the material world and the spiritual beliefs of the community.

7. Bull's Skull:

In Shambhala, the presence of the bull's skull in the scene where Pema and Karma share a quiet, reflective moment with music is symbolic of death, sacrifice, and the transient nature of life. Traditionally, a bull’s skull can represent mortality and the inevitable cycle of life and death, suggesting that, like the bull, all beings face their own end. This symbol could also point to the sacrifices the characters are making — Pema’s endurance of societal judgment and Karma’s inner conflict between his monastic life and worldly ties.

In this context, the skull juxtaposed with their music-making implies that while death and hardship are ever-present, the characters are still trying to find meaning, beauty, and connection in life. It highlights the tension between spiritual detachment and human relationships, as Karma, symbolized by the music, is slowly accepting Pema’s presence in his life despite his earlier reluctance. 

The skull could further represent the hard, barren reality they must navigate, but the act of creating music together signifies hope, transformation, and emotional connection in the face of these challenges.

Through these symbols, Shambhala portrays a nuanced and layered narrative that blends themes of feminist empowerment, spiritual awakening, and societal critique.

Don’t Always Sing Top dogs !!!

There are many footballing nations in the world upon which no football fan in the world shows any interest until the start of any big tournament like World cup. Since 1998 A.D, 32 teams compete for the title at venues within the host nation(s) over about a month in FIFA World Cup. The host nation(s) automatically qualify. Among 32 nations, there are many teams competing in this huge Global tournament, upon which no one’s eyes are set. They are just expected to compete and lose games. Leave the fan! There aren’t many football analysts (who have dedicated their entire lives to football) who have been able to say that the performance of such team may be surprising this year.

Once Simone Weil said —“The future is made of the same stuff as the present.” I agree to this statement but it is equally true that no one knows the future. This implies no one can exactly predict the result of a game. However, the world is always in hurry to throw away the Asian and African teams from the tie-sheet of the world cup, considering them to be the garbage of football. Football pundits too predict the position of CAF, AFC countries and debutant teams to be at the bottom of the group stage table. This mentality suggests people are never ready for shocking results. But when the competition starts, an unexpected event happens. Teams that are considered weak suddenly begin to overtake powerful footballing nations one by one. This happens almost at every world cup. But people are never tired of singing Top dogs. The viewers don’t even watch the highlights of the matches of underdogs, but they do analyze their match in such a way that it seems as if they have left rice and water for seven days.

By the time the first match day is over, many supporters gets Migraine headache. However, fans make luck the main topic when it comes to the games of small teams. Small teams are considered to be sympathetic characters. When the second match day of all groups is over, the fans of some teams breathe a sigh of relief, while some are still sweating profusely  sitting up through the sleepless night from different parts of the world. Still, People are not going to accept — whichever team comes up with a very sensible plan, and has the capacity to execute that, they will win.

After the final results of the group stage, some big teams and many small teams get eliminated from the competition. Except for some new faces, the same teams that have already won the World Cup reach the knockout stage. Many still doubt the abilities of the few remaining small, new teams. Some of those teams make it to the quarter finals to win the trust of the audience. But the audience is left thinking that they will not pass the next stage. When that underdog team wins the quarters by beating strong teams and reaches the semi-finals, the world shakes because it is the outcome which supporters are never ready to accept. The reputation of strong team goes to vain. This is one thing that becomes clear in every World cup editions. Brazilians thought they were unbeatable. They have 5 titles, but to have 5 you first need to have 1, 2, 3 and 4. You can't do anything with reputation.

Reputation means you're believing yesterday is today — SADHGURU

You can't do anything with reputation. You can just cry for not accepting what it is. Same was the condition of Argentina (Congrats! Finally they have won their 3^rd title) in previous World Cup editions since 1990. The reputation of Lionel Messi only brought tears in the eyes of Argentine fans. Saudi Arabia beat them by 2:1 in their first match of World Cup. The four time champions ITALY can’t even qualify for world cup back to back in past two editions. Germans who became champions for fourth time back in 2014 can’t even progress from group stage in both 2018 and 2022 editions. Brazil lost a match against Cameroon and France were punished by Tunisia.

So, It happens every so often that an expected loser comes to the FIFA World Cup and stuns us with their heroics. Some of them arrive at the World cup venue as unsuspecting dark horses and left as national heroes. Almost all editions of FIFA World Cup has many lasting memories – from the hand of god (Maradona) to hand of a devil (Suarez), from the handmade ball played at Montevideo in 1930 to Diamond in the Desert at Qatar, the brilliance of Roberto Baggio, the tears of Ferenc Puskas, celebrating image of Roger Milla dancing by the corner flag and many unexpected stories of many countries like Czechoslovakia, Senegal, Cameroon, Ghana, South Korea, Bulgaria and many more.

I’m trying to cover the story of 2022 FIFA world cup underdogs Morocco — The first ever African nation to reach the semifinal of World cup. Morocco have qualified for the final stages of the FIFA World Cup on six occasions, which were in 1970, 1986, 1994, 1998, 2018 and 2022. Their best performance was in 2022 when they finished in fourth place, thus becoming both the first African and Arab nation to reach a semi-final at a World Cup.

In 2022, Morocco made their back to back appearance in the FIFA World Cup after their group stage knock off in Russia at 2018. It was in Qatar that the Atlas Lions’ produced one of the greatest underdog stories the world cup will ever have. Despite being the most lovable and entertaing team in 2018, Morocco only achieved a mini success as a historical appearance of Sofyan Amrabat who came on as a substitute for his brother Nordin Amrabat in the group match against Iran to be the first player in World Cup history to come in for his brother. So, they reached Qatar in good spirits being eager to test themselves against the world's best team.

 

1. They didn't have an easy start facing the finalist of previous edition — Croatia — in their opening group stage match. The match ended with a goalless draw and the supporters witnessed their winless streak set to continue after 1998 FIFA world cup.
2. The Atlas lions approached their second match of the group stage — a game against Belgium with the odds stacked firmly in the Europeans favor.  However, when Morocco stepped out onto the field for their second game, something suddenly clicked for these players. Morocco came alive and obliterated their opponents Belgium by two goals to nil. After much misery the Moroccans ended their winless streak in world cup match. They were soon celebrating their first victory with goals from Romain Saiss and Zakaria Aboukhlal deservedly beating lackluster Belgium. This is obviously a match which a Morocco fans will never forget.  The first goal via. direct free kick came in this World Cup right at this match.
3. Morocco approached their final match of the group stage and what they wanted was — a win or a draw against Canada. Just 4^th minute match was going on when Steven Vitória of Canada sets a bad back pass to goalkeeper Milan Borjan who clears the ball poorly by stepping outside the D-area; Morocco's Hakim Ziyech takes full advantage of that ball and scores for Morocco. The 24 year old defender Achraf Hakimi passes the ball from the touch line behind the halfway line over the top which Youssef En-Nesyri collects with good pace and scores with strong right-footed strike in the 23^rd minutes.These two first-half goals against Canada at Final match day set the Atlas Lions on their way but they had to hold on for a 2-1 win over Canada after conceding an own goal that kept them nervous through the second half. Morocco roared to summit of the Group table with seven points, two more than runners-up Croatia, to advance from the group stages for a second time, 36 years after they became the first African country to do so.
4. This talented Moroccan side had made it to the Knock-Out stage which was an amazing feat in itself but the euphoria wasn’t expected to last long as their next test was colossal Fighting bulls — Spain. Morocco entered the next round as Group F winners, whilst Spain was facing North African side in next round being the eventual runners-up of Group E. After the last game of group F, Spain withheld second position as Japan stunned them by 2-1. Germany, Japan and Costa Rica were in the group that included Spain, while Spain and Germany were considered the main contenders for the round of sixteen. But Japan also surpassed powerful nations like Germany and Spain.

 The match of Morocco vs spain took place at Education stadium in Qatar, where Spain was supposed not only to dominate the African side but eat them alive. But, Morocco turn the tables after the tense goal less 120 minutes. Morocco managed not to concede due to their astonishing defensive units for which they kept on spying their rivals. The Spaniards completed over thousand passes against Morocco; with 77% of their possession they took care of the ball for over 80 minutes including extra times but they only had one attempt on Yassine Bounou’s goal. So, at last, five Spot kicks from each team were to be taken to determine who goes to next round.

5.   Morocco's momentum grew in the quarterfinals where they came up against confident Portugal who were there after a thrashing 6-1 win against Switzerland. It was four years ago in Russia where these two met each other in a group stage match with Morocco suffering a 1-0 defeat after a beautiful header from CR7. When  Portugal and Morocco kick-off its quarterfinal match at the Al Thumama Stadium, Cristiano Ronaldo was benched. The game was heading stalemate until 42^nd minute when Morocco took its lead. Attiat-Allah sent a brilliant cross inside the box from the left flank and En-Nesyri towered over everyone and headed the ball in the net. Morocco were leading 1-0. Just two minutes later, the navigators — Portugal had chance to equalize but Bruno’s effort hit the post. Bono was a beaten man there. Cristiano came in for Portugal substituting Guerreiro making him the joint most capped player in International football — FIFA record 196^th caps. Despite all the efforts of Portugese player to make the ball kiss the net, Morocco’s defence and Bouno’s hand’s cleared all the Portugal attacks. It was 93^th minute when Cheddira sees his second yellow and is sent off! Morocco struggled for next four minutes with ten men. However the final whistle blows and Morocco makes History. They produced the unthinkable clinching victory to send the Atlas Lions into the final four. Morocco became first African team to qualify for World Cup Semifinal.

 

6.  Another tough opposition followed Morocco in the form of France — the reigning champions. For all of Morocco’s technical ability, defence, goal keeper with four clean sheets and attacking powers, French squad with their lovely football was beyond their control. Theo Hernandez slotted the ball past home with a wonderful acrobatic volley to give France 1:0 lead in just five minutes. Oliver Giroud hits the post at 17^th minute. Just before the half time, the french skipper Hugo Lloris makes a spectacular stop putting dream of Morocco to equalize in vain. The 79^th minute of match came up with Randal Kolo Muani goal giving France a 2-0 lead and put an end to the fairy tale of Arabs.

 

7.   After their loss, they had to face Croatia for 3^rd position. Lot of fans of Morocco from all over the world had expected Morocco to seal the third spot. Joško Gvardiol put the croatia ahead and it looked as though the magic of morocco was over.But just two minutes later an iconic moment was forged in world cup history in the form of a header by defender Dari to equalize the match. However Croatia leads again on 42^nd minute of the game. The match becomes exciting till the end but no any other goal actually happens. Morocco satisfied in fourth position.

 

 

 

What a run!

What A Campaign!

From this Morocco team.

Their Unity, team spirit, enthusiasm, passion,

 coach, fans, and every single thing was truely amazing.

This golden generation of Moroccan talent had made their country proud and secured fourth place against all odds. The world would never forget this fearless side of lucky underdogs that dared to dream big in 2022.

Morocco went on to lose the match for third place to Croatia but that didn't detract from the magnificent feat they had accomplished. By finishing fourth at the tournament, they had exceeded all expectations. This golden generation of Morocco footballers would forever be remembered for dazzling on the world stage at an unforgettable FIFA World Cup.

At the end — Let’s look at the historical records made by this so called Non-Footballing Nation and open our eye:

·         First African team to reach 7 points at the group stage.

·         First Arab nation to advance to the quarter-finals by defeating Spain 3–0 in a penalty  shoot-out.

·         Walid Regragui of Morocco— first African and Arab manager to reach the quarter finals.

·         Morocco becomes first African and first Arab nation to reach semi-finals following a 1–0 victory over Portugal.

·         Walid Regragui of Morocco — first African and Arab manager to reach the semi-finals.

·         First African team to play 7 matches in one edition.

·         First African team to achieve fourth place in the tournament.

 

Finally, I would like to say that — If we do support new teams, praise the not so footballing nations for their effort, it would eventually be advantageous for our nation too. If new nation wins the game at World cup, the confidence of average or poor team increases. This can make a huge impact upon the games of AFC, CAF, CONCACAF and OFC countries. It will succeed in terminating the century long monopoly of South America and Europe in football.

Review of Nepali Movie — Ainaa Jhyal Ko Putali AKA Butterfly on the Windowpane

While watching this; Even TEARS became cheap.

I went on to QFX Cinemas Birtamode to watch this movie on September 22, 2022 with two friends viz. Yubraj and Ashish. I was very much excited to watch this film from the first day of its release but the exams chained all my mind and body with books. So, as soon as the exams completed I searched for its shows around Birtamode but I was totally nervous as there were no any shows in any cinema theater of Jhapa. Because this film has not collected good audiences, the theater stopped its show.  Since, it was my strong desire to watch it, I even appealed to the movie director Sujit Bidari via social sites to make environment for us on watching it in Theatre. As stated in Paulo Coelho's world famous book The Alchemist- "When you really want something, the whole universe conspires in helping you to achieve it", I get notifications in the QFX Cinema's app saying - Aaina Jhyal ko Putali got final show on theatre of Birtamode at 12:30 P.M on 22 September 2022. 

Now, it was hard to convince my friends to make this film but due to God's grace, this movie was selected by Nepali film industry for submission to the 95th Academy award for Best International feature film category. Hence, we three went to watch film on two motorcycles. I payed for all three tickets and we watched the Movie.

I assume — No human being in the Earth will dislike this film. The fantastic display of acting by Bidya, Basanta and Bange is proof that talent of natural acting has no age limit. It is at the maximum height of creativity and salute to the director who excelled in writing and directing it.

Watching this film is like

- listening to Osho's discourse,

- or time traveling to see your own childhood,

- or playing a movie yourself by stepping inside the screen.

It has the ability to change mood, add warmth to our mind and body, and take us back to memories of a time that were often idealized with excitement and longing.

In brief, its nostalgic.

This film is excellent in all aspects such as the technical aspect, the presentation aspect of the story, the emotional aspect of the characters, and the artistic quality of the presentation.

This film not only tells the story of Nepali women but of women of entire Asia continent because I've heard that, after watching this film at the Busan Film Festival, a female audience came to the organizers with tears in her eyes and said, “This is my story. How did my story become a film? Thank you for showing such a great film!”

P.S: This review is added on IMDb as well as letterboxd.
