लकडाउनको एकसाठ्ठीऔँ दिन

जेठ १० गते, शनिवार

२०७७

आज ५ः४५ मा आँखा खुले ।रेडियो खोलेपछि बसेर कायाकैरन सुनिएन । सात बजे उठेर नित्यकर्म गरियो । अनि नुहाइ धुवाइतर्फ लागियो धेरै दिनपछि । आज जेठ १० गते, शनिबार अनि छोरीको जन्मदिन पनि । आजबाट छोरी ५ वर्ष पुुगेर ६ मा लागिन् । विगतका वर्षमा अल्लि उल्लाहसपूर्व तवारले जन्मदिन मनाइन्थ्यो । यस वर्ष वातावरण असहज भएकाले त्यस्तो केही योजना बनाएका छैनौँ । नुहाइ धुवाइपछि छोरीलाई उठाइ नुहाउन अनुरोध गर्यौँ । 

बसुन्धराले नुहाइदिइन् । मैले चियाको तरखर गरेँ । नुहाएपछि छोरीले आमासँगै पूजा गरिन् । अनि हामीले उनलाई टीका लगाई आर्शिवाद दियौँ । टीकाभन्दा दक्षिणा पाएर छोरी मख्ख । उफ्रिँदै दक्षिणा लगेर आफ्नो पर्समा राखिन् । कति राम्रो बानी । हामी सानोमा विशेषतः दशैमा दक्षिणा पाउँदा कतिखेर खर्च गरौँ, मिठाइ खाउँ हुन्थ्यो । छोरीका साथीहरु मोटु र मायरा पनि उनीसँगै खुसी थिए । आज छोरीको गृहकार्य  गर्ने नियमित कार्य अवरुद्ध भयो । १०ः१५ बजेतिर खाना खायौँ, सामान्य खाना । दिउसो सामान्य रह्यो । मैले विभिन्न अनलाइन प्लेटफर्महरुमार्फत सिक्ने कार्यहरु जारी राखेँ । छोरी खेल्न व्यस्त । बसुन्धरा कृष्ण धरावासीकाो राधासँगै व्यस्त । बेलाबेलामा फेसबुकमा पनि आँखा गइरहेका थिए । छोरीको जन्मदिनको शुभकामना हेर्न । साँझ पख पनि केही त्यस्तो रमझम भएन । सामान्य खानपिन भयोे । छोरीको केकाको अनुरोधलाई लकडाउन खुलेपछि बाबुछोरी नै गएर  किन्ने ससर्तमा साम्य पारियो ।

And then from 9 AM I joined the zoom virtual conference organized by NELTA Province No. 7. There were wonderful sessions from great scholars like Prof. Z.N Patil [India] and Dr. Tikaram Paudel[TU]. Prof. Patil discussed on ' Aspects of Spoken English' [ Without using slides. I have never seen using slides!] and Dr. Tikaram Paudel presented on 'English in Nepal:Discourses on Libration, Resistance and Domination. On the topic, Dr. Paudel presented a fine historical background of English language development in Nepal along with in the other parts of the world. It was a very good session. After lunch hastly, I joined another online training session from NELTA Chitwan. Mr. Gopal Prasad Bashyal sir presented on 'Adapting Tech to No Tech or Law Tech Context'. It was really relevant in the present context. Then I had some tweet conversation on some political issue with my intimate friend[ In fact he is like our family member] Narayan Khanal, currently he is in Japan. He, in his writing sounded quite anxious regarding the current political scenario of the county and so am I. Today I had made a plan to watch the film 'Dasdhunga' but it failed as I engaged myself in doing an online course on ' COVID-19: Awareness and Prevention' from Global Institute of Healthcare Management[GIHM], India. Along with this I also engaged with google forms and worksheets. After snacks, I joined the virtual conference of NELTA, where two veteran scholars: Mr. Bal Ram Adhikari [TU] and Dr. Chintamani Yogi., Bhanubhakta Bhatta and Surendra Raj Ojha's Panel.  Mr. Adhikari presented on 'Search for Research Problematising  and Sourcing' whereas the panelists discussed on 'Emphasizing Human Values in Education'. They discussed on the degrading values and norms in present education system. In the evening we the mates[Narayan Khanal Japan, Krishna Prasad Aryal Japan, Hari Bhandari Ktm, Dan Ghimire Dubai and Me Tamghas,{Dan didn't stay long}] of Ranrajya Secondary School Batch-2056BS, discussed the different issues as interlinked discourse. However,the center of the discussion was politics which affects each and every aspects of human life. The discussion lasted for more than 2 hours and then at about 8:15 PM, we ended it as I had to have supper.

53rd Day of Lock Down

Jestha 02, Friday 

     2077

It's really hard to find the medicine of laziness! Do you have? I couldn't leave the bed util 7 AM. 

Today I couldn't listen BBC as there was not radio in my restroom. After having tea at around 7:30 I started my regular and most important duty i.e. to get my daughter to do her homework. It was Mathematics period today. I gave her to write from 1 to 100. One to Twenty. १ देखि १०० जस्ताकाे तस्तै सार्नुहाेस् , and count and write. She did everything perfectly, I only had to help her while writing Eleven to Twenty!  Today There was a zoom class from 10 AM from NELTA Chitwan. It was about MOOCing by Baman Ghimire sir from Pokhara. I remember, I had first met him in Pokhara in 2017 while I was there with my 39 students and colleagues Pooja Gnyawali, Mohan Paudyal and Saraswati Bhandari as Access Instructor for American Embassy and NELTA. There Baman sir had conducted a session on MOOCing. Since then I became crazy of MOOCing and till now I have done more that 100 MOOC courses from different universities of the world and institutions. I have also encouraged my students. Some them like Nikesh, Madhab have completed more than 2 dozens of courses. He also remembered me for my dedication to promote MOOC campaign. I am happy. One doesn't have to go to the UK and the USA for learning in the top universities there, if one has an interest and determination, as Baman  sir often says the top universities of the world are under the tips of your fingers. Then I prepare google forms quiz on English for my grade 10 students. Some of they did very well and got habituated with online activities in a short time. I provided them certificate for encouragement and ask them to post on the group so that other can be inspired. But it did not appeared to be so fruitful. We know that we can take a thirty man to a tap but can't make him drink. This proverb became meaningful here to some extent. At afternoon, having snacks I joined another session of NELTA conference from Province No. 7 there was a panel discussion of well known scholars like, Balram Adhikari, Govinda Raj Bhattarai and Jagdish Paudel. I enjoyed their discussion on 'Reading Pedagogy'. After panel discussion. I involved with students, provided them some quizzes on Verbs forms and Tag Questions. Today I got a friend request of my school friend Tanka Prasad Adhikari. We shared what about. I remember him when we were in six seven, he was very tall and slim, I was not so short and fat either. It was very hard to defeat him in Kabaddi as none could catch hold him because of this long and lanky body. After 6:30 PM. Gopal Bista sir came. We had chat on this and that. He told me about his side business of developing software and showed me some examples. I also advised him some points to be considered while developing any software specially for school. He viewed our school's software and website as well. We had a short video chat with Hari Gnyawali and Pooja ma'am as well. After that I had super along with Basundhara and Bunu. They I started blogging up to 9 PM.

52nd Day of Lock Down

Jestha 01, Thursday
         2077

Today was the first day of  Jestha.  I awoke at 6 and proved my laziness lying on bed till 7 AM. Then I got fresh and had tea. Then my regular job of helping my daughter with her homework started. She did English homework today. I gave her the questions like: Write from A-Z. , Write Aa-Zz., Fill in the blanks a......c......e ....., Write the name of seven days.Write the name of body parts.Write the name of domestic animals. . She did very well. I remembered when I was in grade 4, I could not write the name of seven days. My daughter has just passed nursery! While my daughter was doing her homework, I went through my Facebook. It reminded me of my brother's [Surya] birthday. I wished him virtually. It also recalled the incident of his birth. It was the evening of 1st Jestha, 2040 BS. My mother came home after doing some agricultural task in some neighbor's house. I remembered she had carried some fodders for the cattle as well. She got then rest and went to toilet [ A place away from home beneath bamboo bush]. But, to my surprise, while coming she was carrying a baby. She seemed so calm as if nothing had happened. She asked me to call someone to help, but none was around there. I had called somebody, but whom I forgot now. When he got young and sometime got mother angry she used to call him that he was not her son, she had found him beneath the bamboo tree. We still make a fun of him saying so when we meet. Then I joined a Zoom class of  NELTA Province No. 7. Then after lunch from NELTA Chitwan and Then from NELTA Gandaki too. Today too, my whole day passed with MOOCing, taking Zoom classes and learning to form google forms, quizzes and online exams. My plan was to watch a film too, but the charm of learning through online overcame that. I spent some of my time to add/ search the students in the Facebook closed group: Siddhababa School Grade 10 Batch-2077. And I also created some quizzes for them on google forms. I love multitasking . I can't stuck on with one thing specially while I am online. So along with having online zoom classes, I prepared google forms, searched students, added then in the group and messaged them. Today,I had to cook supper as Basundhara had a sever headache. We had super at 8 and I telephoned my mother, she along with sister was about to sleep. We talked for sometimes on this and that. After that I started blogging.

Today too, my morning was as usual. I got up after BBC. I got fresh and had a cup of tea and started help my daughter to do her homework. She did Nepali homework today. She wrote क to ज्ञ , क का  कि , दुइ अक्षरले बनेका शब्दहरू, आकार लागेका शब्दहरू। I supported her when she felt difficulty. Then we went up the  roof and enjoy the sunny day even in the month of Baishkh. Basundhara took bath, washed the clothes and came their. We three enjoyed there till 10:15 and we had our lunch. While having lunch, I just remembered about an online training on ELT and ran to computer room and joined the class. It was organized by NELTA Chitwan. Then from 1:00 another Zoom training session started from NELTA Gandaki Province. I also joined that and learned integration of skills in lesson, ICT tools and language teaching, and blended learning from Vaishali Pradhan, Dr. Suman Laudari and Kamal Raj Lamsal respectively. Today I passed almost the day learning virtually. After having rice pudding as snacks, I joined the International Virtual Conference organized by NELTA Province NO-7. It was great. Later on I myself learnt to add automatic certificate and time laps in online quiz formed using google forms. It was a new technique for me. I did a practical session on it myself. It really worked😀. 

After having supper, I continued to learn the use to the tools, I learnt today. They are very good to use to assist the teaching learning activities.

आजको दिन पनि कायाकैरनसँग सुरु भयो । तर ओछ्यान भने बी.बी.सी. पछि नै छोडियो । आज छोरी पनि मेरो पछि पछि नै उठिन् । अनि चा खाइसकेपछि मेरो छोरीलाई गृहकार्य गराउने नियमित कार्य  सुरु भयो । आज छोरीले गणितको गृहकार्य गरिन् ।Write from 1 to 100, Write One=1 to Twenty=20, Count and write. अनि त्यसलाई पढेर सुनाउने काम सकेपछि, एकछिन फुटबल खेल्यौँ । त्यसपछि १० बजेको सेरोफेरोमा खान खाइवरी विद्यालय स्टाफहरुको फेसबुक ग्रुपमा आज कति खेरा जम्मा हुने र ICT तथा अनलाइन कलाससम्बधी छलफल गर्ने भन्ने व्यहोराको सूचना सम्प्रेषण गरेँ । तर कसैको केही रेस्पोन्स आएन । अहिले १०ः१७ पनि सम्म जम्मा ७ जनाको रियाक्ट र २३ जनाले हेर्नु मात्र भएको छ । नो कमेन्ट नो रेस्पोन्स ! जबसम्म सिकाइका लागि सिकारु तत्पर र उत्साही हुँदैन तबसम्म कोही पनि  माइकालालले सिकाउन सक्दैन जस्तो लाग्छ मलाई त ! हजुरको के विचार छ कुन्नी ? कमेन्ट गर्नुहोला । आज विद्यालय गइएन । 

दिउसभरि नै यताउता नेट, फेसबुक र आजबाट गण्डकी प्रदेशले सुरु गरेको अनलाइन तालिममा सहभागी भएँ । नेल्टा केन्द्रिय अध्यक्ष मोतिकला म्याडम्, सल्लाकार गोविन्दराज भट्ट सर, रेलो स्पेस्लिष्ट विश्वराज गौतम सर र प्रा. जिवलाल सापकोटा सरसँग कलास लिने मौका पाइयो । आज देखि पर्सि सम्म त्यसैमा लागिन्छ । ३ः३० तिर खाजा खाइयो । अनि केहीबेर अनलाइनमै व्यस्त भएपश्चात साँझतिर छतमा  ताजा हावा खान गइयो । छोरी, बसुन्धरा र म फुटबल पनि खेलियो । आज कोरोनाका पोजेटिभ केसहरु हर्लक्क बढेर २०८ पुगेकामा सबै सशंकित देखिए पनि बाटो हिड्ने मानिसहरुको चहलपहल झनै बढेको देखिन्थ्याे । लकडाउनलाई अझ कडा पार्ने र यसलाई 

सबैले पालन गर्न भन्दै माइकिङ्ग गरेको पनि सुनिन्थ्यो । 

छतबाट कोठामा आएपछि, बसुन्धरा र छोरी तरकारी किनमेलमा गए । मेरो त के काम, मैले सुरु गरे सर्फिङ्ग । 

८ः३० बजे खाना खाइयो । खान खाइसकेपछि छोरीले घर आमा र दिदीलाई फोन गरिन् । आमा र बहिनीले उनी नर्सरी कक्षाको वार्षिक परीक्षामा ९९.७८ प्रतिशत् सहित प्रथम भएकोमा बधाई दिँदै आगमी दिनमा पनि यस्तै राम्रो गर्न भन्नु भयो । छोरीले हस् भनिन् । त्यसपछि  उनको नृत्य सुरु भयोे । मोवाइलमा मेमोरी फूल भएकाले रेकडिङ्ग गर्न भने सकिएन । त्यसपछि आमा छोरी मोबाइलमा व्यस्त भए, म भने Blogging मा  लागेँ ।

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A SCHOOL TEACHER DURING LOCK-DOWN

The present situation has somehow changed everyone's daily life style. In the normal situation, I would never have been able to sit on the bed and write a blog like this. Here I am going to write a short account of my today's activities.

Baishakh 27th, 2077

Saturday

Today, I awoke at 5:30 AM, but couldn't leave the bed. I got up at 5 to six and tuned on the radio for Kayakairan[News from Ujyaalo 90 Network]. Then fell on the bed and listened to the news until 6:30 AM. Then, I got fresh. I had to wait till 8:30 AM for a cup of black tea as my daughter[Bunu] did not get up util that time. After she got up I prepared tea and Basu fetched the water from the tap. After that Basu got busy in household work. My duty was to make my daughter do some study. I gave her to write 1=One to 20= Twenty,Aa to Zz, Fill up the gaps[a__c__e .... . She did well all except some. I helped in difficulty. Then,my daughter started playing with her friend[Motu]. We [ Basu and Me] went to chhat and got freshed. Then I started surfing the net and Basu kept herself busy in preparing lunch.After sometime, I joined her and prepared salat [Chatarmatar].

It had been 10:10 AM when we had our lunch. After lunch Bunu brushed her teeth and went to play with Mayara[ Her friend]. Then she started washing pots and I cleaned the kitchen and brushed my teeth and visited various sites on the internet. After 3 years back I found my first blog which I had created in 2011 AD. I found that it was updated in 2017 once. It took me more than 2 hours to decorate a little bit.At around 1:00 I had a bath, washed my clothes and got refreshed.I also wanted to check my bike but my laziness overcame it. After that I added some new menus and edited some posts on my blog.[khadkatika.blogspot.com ]

Along with this, today I watched two Hindi films[Intelligent Khiladi and Battalion 609] as well. Basundhara accompanied me with the first  one. But the second one, I lone. 

At about 4:00, I had snacks[Noodle+Pasta]which was tasty but too hot. Then I continued with my blog. In between that I tried to do some online courses but I did not find any interesting topic today.

Along with blogging, I updated my Facebook Group[Siddhababa SEE Batch-2076] with some useful contents for SEE candidates. 

Then there was a messenger call from Hari Gyawali sir, we talk this and that for about 10 minutes. Then I continued updating my blog. There was Parbati did today at our house so I did not have to support Basu for preparing supper. Today, Bunu slept at about 5 PM so I couldn't play with her. At about 8:30 PM we had our supper. Then Bunu and me watched a short video clip about English Rhymes for kids.

Now it has been 9:30PM, and I am planning to publish this post.

Thank you for your patience. I always hope for your constructive feedback.
