फेसबुकमा हजुरआमाहरू

फेसबुकमा हजुरआमाहरू | सूचना प्रविधि | ekantipur.com

लेखनाथ, श्रावण २४ - सामाजिक सञ्जाल फेसबुक युवाहरूमाझ चर्चित रहेन । हाम्रै गाउँघरका प्रौढहरू पनि यो सञ्चारको नौलो थलोप्रति आकषिर्त हुने क्रम बढ्दो छ ।

साक्षर हजुरआमाहरूसमेत फेसबुकमा छाउन थालेका छन् । फुर्सदको समय साथीहरू, परिवार र छिमेकीसँग गफ गरेर बिताउने उनीहरू अहिले कम्प्युटर अगाडि बस्न रुचाउँछन् । उनीहरूका सहयोगी बनेका छन्: नातिनातिना, छोराछोरी वा श्रीमान् । छोराछोरी र श्रीमान् दिनदिनै फेसबुकमा भुल्न थालेपछि हजुरआमाहरूको चासो पनि त्यता बढेको हो । लेखनाथ, शिशुवाकी उमादेवी बाँस्तोला तिनैमध्ये पर्छिन् । दोस्रो जनआन्दोलनकी घाइतेसमेत रहेकी उनी अहिले फेसबुकमा भेटिन्छिन् । सामाज सेवी उनी बढी लेखनाथमा हुने सार्वजनिक कार्यक्रममै हुन्छिन् । त्यसबाट फुर्सद मिलेपछि उनी श्रीमान् र छोरा नरेन्द्रको साहरामा फेसबुक चलाउँछिन् ।

उनको फेसबुक एकाउन्ट श्रीमान् बृहस्पतिले खोलिदिएका हुन् । श्रीमती सामाजिक कार्यकर्ता भएका कारण सम्पर्क बढाइदिन फेसबुक खोलिदिएको बृहस्पतिले बताए । भने, 'आडमा बस्छिन्, म उनले भनेका कुरा लेखिदिन्छु ।' धेरै आफन्त विदेश भएका कारण उनीहरूसँग भेट गर्न र फोटो हेर्न उनकै आग्रहमा फेसबुक खोलिएको हो ।

फेसबुकले धेरैसँग भेटघाट भएकोले धेरै रमाइलो लागेको ५६ वर्षीया उमाले बताइन् । भनिन्, 'दिदीबहिनी, छोराछोरी, धेरै आफन्त बाहिर छन् । अस्ति दुबईमा रहेका छिमेकीका छोराहरूले 'ए ठूलीआमा हुनुहँुदोरहेछ' भनी धेरैबेर कुरा गरे ।'

अनलाइन भेटिने अर्की हजुरआमा हुन् ६३ वषर्ीया गोमा पन्थी । अर्घाखाँचीकी उनको फेसबुक अकाउन्ट नाति सुशीलले खोलिदिएका हुन् । 'हजुरआमालाई पनि आफू सूचना र सञ्चारको पहुँचमा रहेछु भन्ने आभास होस् भनेर खोलिदिएको हुँ,' उनले भने, 'यसले हजुरआमासँगको सम्बन्ध पनि आत्मीय भएको छ ।'

तनहुँ, खैरेनीटारकी शान्ता घिमिरे पनि फेसबुकमा अभ्यस्त बन्दै गएकी छन् । उनको अकाउन्ट उनका छोरा सन्तोष घिमिरेले खोलिदिएका रहेछन् । छोराले विभिन्न फोटोहरू पनि राखिदिएका छन् । सन्तोषले भने, 'आमाको पनि फेसबुकमा सबैसँग भेट होस् भनेर खोलिदिएको हुँ ।' शान्ता छोराहरू घर आउँदा र आफू काठमाडौं आफ्नो स्टाटस अपडेट गर्न लगाउँछिन् ।

Symbol of peace and unity by Nepali sclupturor/Artist Tara Ojha


Breathe In and Breathe Out for Peace




Pay attention to your inner peace. Practice this when you are sitting still and watching your breath:



As I breathe in, I'm with the breath
As I breathe out, I'm with the breath
May all beings be free


As I breathe in, I'm with the breath
As I breathe out, I'm with the breath
May all beings be happy


As I breathe in, I'm with the breath
As I breathe out, I'm with the breath
May all beings end suffering


As I breathe in, I'm with the breath
As I breathe out, I'm with the breath
May all beings feel joy


As I breathe in, I'm with the breath
As I breathe out, I'm with the breath
May all beings find peace

Process for building peace









We can all contribute to creating a culture of peace. Building peace requires following through on the principles of good communication: be clear when stating your position; aim to resolve differences by treating others with respect; listen, don’t argue angrily or fight; be open to different viewpoints and alternatives; and finally be optimistic that good will come out of a non-violent approach. Peacebuilding happens at the international level but also at the grassroots level.At an international level, peace-building refers to both nonviolent conflict resolution and the process of creating and sustaining peace after violent conflict, by providing an alternative to violence and conflict through communication, problem-solving and preventative measures. It is the work that must be done before during and after conflict and involves collaborating with knowledgeable organizations to equip people with tools that can help them avoid and leave conflict situations.Peace-building is a specific way of creating peace by managing conflict – it is a more holistic approach that recognizes that treaties and peace agreements may not last. It is an ongoing activity, which must be practiced vigilantly especially in nations that face social and economic instability. InternationalAlert.org warns that peace is not automatic even after a peace agreement is signed and should not be rushed. “Peacebuilding…has to address the root causes of conflict. It involves a wide-ranging and strategic approach that addresses issues of security, the socio-economic foundations of peace, governance and the need for justice and reconciliation to recover from the wounds of war.”Maintaining international peace and security requires respect for fundamental human rights, as expressed in the United Nations Charter signed in June 1945. The UN Development Programme Crisis Prevention and Recovery Program works to prevent armed conflicts and promote early recovery after crises have occurred. When it is time for an international course of action to cease hostilities in a region, the UN Security Council decides when to intervene by sending forces or peacekeepers. (rollover definition: international military personnel who preserve the peace in a hostile region post-conflict)Did you know? The term 'peacebuilding' has only been in use since 1992, when UN Secretary General Boutros Boutros Ghali used it in his report to the Security Council, Agenda for Peace
