Another great year full of accomplishments
comes to an end and we are le with great memories
and the feeling of coming home. It was an unbeliev-
able experience being in the editorial team for the
SET magazine and I am s ll in awe of the mo ons we
brought forward this year. The theme of the magazine Aditi Thakur

the SET council hope to showcase crea vity and inno-
va on through our works and this magazine is a reflec-
on of both these values. The ar cles and messages
really bring forward many great issues to light, that are
some mes ignored and other mes underes mated.
How different are our common stories from the mil-
lions of stories that play out on Nepal’s streets every
day? Not much. Change is in the horizon, we just have Bibhash Mulmi Saramsha Dotel Anuj Bastola
to help cul vate it.

It was great working with the editorial team

and it is due to their tenuous efforts that we have

our greatest reward.

Message From The Principal

The SET Council Magazine has emerged with a theme that reminds us
of our prime responsibility as Xavierians- “Be the Change you Want to See.”
In the context where people tend to neglect their responsibility to improve
a situa on, the theme gently reminds everyone to embrace the challenge to
be the change that we want to see. The SET council members who has been
so relessly working as an example of theme through the cleaning campaign
“Team up to Clean UP”, cycle rally “Riding the Wheels of Jus ce” and the
final event of the year SET Exhibi on “Utprerana- Innova ng Ideas, Uncov-
ering Ar efacts” has undoubtedly inspired many of their companions to be
leaders of change.

The many innova ve ar cles from the students from various facul es
have raised the quality of the publica on.This is publica on is a commend-
able one indeed.

The work of the SET council has been so admirable and each year the
council members take this club into greater heights. I extend my apprecia-
on and gra tude to all the SET council members and the moderators who
guided the students at every step of their progress.

Message From The Vice Principal

“Be the change you want to see”

This theme reminds me of a short mo va onal video where a

small school going boy plays a major role to bring change in the a tudes
of the people, where all the commuters were caught up in road block with
a huge tree fallen on the road. The change which should come to us first is
in Me, You and Us! As we all know charity begins at home, in the same way
the change must begin from me. The changes I want to see around, in the
society, culture, religion, tradi on or elsewhere must begin from me; that
is by becoming an authen c, genuine and true person to myself first and
to others. By this theme I am also reminded of the poem by Rabindranath
Tagore in “Gitanjali”, which goes like this:

Life of my life, I shall ever try to keep my body pure, knowing that
thy living touch is upon all my limbs.

I shall ever try to keep all untruths out from my thoughts, knowing
that thou art that truth which has kindled the light of reason in my mind.
I shall ever try to drive all evils away from my heart and keep my love in
flower, knowing that thou hast thy seat in the inmost shrine of my heart.
And it shall be my endeavour to reveal thee in my ac ons, knowing it is thy
power gives me strength to act.

was no nervousness before the programmes and their success was
daun ng. However, the way the students co-operated and assisted me
in making the events memorable and successful was so effortless, it was as if
success was inevitable.

Responsibili es dealing with the SET council’s events and the coun-
cil’s overall running, had somehow weighed down my shoulders. Nearing the
end of the session it seems as if the weight has been gradually li ed off;
piece by piece. I have realized that this responsibility was not just mine for
taking, but it was shared by all the moderators, councillors and well wishers.
No more does it feel as if I have to help this great club maintain its precon-
ceived glory. It feels as if it’s my duty to work alongside all the students and
help cra a be er future.

So I really take pride in being one of the moderators of the SET council
where I have been blessed with co-opera ve moderator friends, Mr. Vishnu
Rana and Mr. Rajan Karmachrya and above all with students like you who
have worked so hard and always have a beau ful smile on your face. Thank
you so much for everything.

special to be a part of the 20th Annual SET Exhibi on.
The deligh ul and energe c students from the SET
Council have put in tremendous effort in planning and
organizing, for which I am very grateful and happy. In
return the college students have enthusias cally par c-
ipated with very innova ve and crea ve projects. Their
crea vity, efforts and ideas are truly inspiring. It gives
me a strong sense of sa sfac on to see, how, over the
course of my me in St. Xavier’s College. The students
and the organiza ons have organically evolved.
This year has truly been The Beginning of a New

new success.
I would like to thank the par cipants and the or-
ganizers and call upon well-wishers and friends of St.
Xavier’s to join hands to make this event a successful

Dear Friends of The SET Council,
I am filled with joy and happiness as I write this
message. The vision and ambi on of the SET project
are great; the goal is not only to build a new exhibi on,
but also to transform a na on and a region. I am very
excited about the 20th SET exhibi on, it is very hard to
bring the people together with new ideas and innova-
on. The SET COUNCIL will always be in my heart.
Over the last 14 years, I have developed many profes-
sional rela onships and friendships with the faculty,
staff, students, and others in the college and across
the country. I am very fortunate to see such a great
vision of hard work, team spirit and mo va on.
The college has experienced much growth and
improvement over the last two decades due to the ef-
forts of the en re college community. The college is
filled with interna onally recognized faculty and pro-
grams and has recruited great students, improved
our research and instruc on, and have made strides
in promo ng the public understanding of science. We
have many ini a ves underway aimed at enhancing
the experience and educa on of both undergraduate
and graduate students. In addi on, we are working to
substan ally enhance the transforma on of students
and knowledge for the public good.
Thank you for making this college so great and
such a pleasure to be a part of the venture.
My best wishes for the 20th SET Exhibi on.

Looking at the current situa on of

Nepal, the youths are helpless. There are
voices that can be heard, but are never followed. There are youths taking a
stand to fight for their na on’s pride, but most of us are hidden in dark world
of helplessness and hopelessness. There are chances created but no person to
take it. The youths are walking with an empty mind and a heavy heart. The only
thing that can help them rise again is that li le voice, that li le push, that
bit of spark of inspira on and mo va on.

Message From The President

As a SET councillor, we are a emp ng to provide the youths with
the inspira on that they are in need of, with those new ideas and artefacts
that need to be uncovered and shared. This gives me an immense
pleasure to put forward “20th SET Exhibi on; Utprerana: Innova ng Ideas,
Uncovering Artefacts” which is aimed to encourage, inspire and empower the
youths of today. We want people to be the change they want to see.

The SET magazine 2015 has a empted to mo vate the students to be-
come that ini a ng force of the change they want. We have tried to enlighten
the lives of each scholar which will surely enlighten the future of our na on.
The SET Council, the oldest club of St. Xavier’s College, has successfully lived up
for 20 historic years. As the council steps into its 20th year, we the 20th batch
of the SET council have tried our level best to con nue the 19 years of glorious
legacy with much enthusiasm and relentless hard work. I hope our efforts have
made a difference and created a posi ve impact.

With sincere gra tude and apprecia on, on behalf of the whole SET
Council team – 2014-15, I would like to thank the college administra on, our
moderators, all the teachers, students, guest colleges, sponsors and our pre-
vious batch for their overwhelming assistance, wholesome effort, unflinching
guidance and meritous devo on, without whom we would not have been able
to live these momentous hours. Ha s off to everyone’s effort for the best given!
With this I would like to end this piece of note by wishing my juniors all the very
best in carrying out the glorious legacy of SET council with great honour and
fervour in the days to come.

 ►2161 B.S’s Hydro-Power Project
-Shrid Pant
The SET Council
Well, it’s the 1st of Baishakh, 2161, and I am
walking, as always, to buy a candle to lighten my apart-
ment. With no buses or micro-vans around, the legs
have become the only vehicles of the city. Bicycles are
not much run because the roads are busy with people.
People can vividly remember how the cars and
bikes used to dri across the streets.
As you must have already guessed, we
have nothing that work on our beloved fossil
fuels because there are no fossil fuels; so, how
do you expect those to work? As a ma er of
fact, there has been no fuel for the last 5 years
except for a handful of extra rich people and
the government. But, we have our fast flowing
rivers, which flow from the Himalayas to the terai as
I’ve been learning since childhood, on which the hy-
dropower project that was stopped some years back,
is now being reconstructed! However, it’s a day off to-
day. A new year in a bucolic se ng doesn’t seem as
bad as you must be imagining.
It’s New Year and people have decided to cel-
ebrate it; if not for their joy, for their hope of new al-
terna ves. The wax-candle industries earn a lot these
days and this is all thanks to the great load shedding.
Few of the owners were recently interviewed and
they expressed how desperate they felt when invert-
ers (that do not get sufficiently charged now) and fuel
generator companies were destroying their business
in urban areas. However, people fear too much use of
the wax candles could, too, bring a shortage problem
and so are not used haphazardly. But, today is a happy
occasion, happy for the hope of disparity; so, there
are candles lightened up at places here and there. We
have no iPods or mp3s to listen to music here, so the
spoken parlor games (Antakshari) are very popular.
Right now, I can hear some people singing aloud next
door. Dark everywhere as some people call it but most
have learnt to walk with the illumina on of the moon.
There are lights, of course, in America and Europe, run
by electricity (I’ll come to how they got electricity), but
Nepal has not changed since 2070s; we are s ll follow-
ing the load shedding schedules. But, there is a conso-
la on to people as we hear that people in developed
10 The SET Magazine | Social Service, Environment & Technology
countries are, too, afraid to light their homes for long;
their AC’s, washing machines, 3d TVs and all other lux-
uries have been restricted because their government
fears power shortage. And, the most fuel consuming
American ci zens have, too, become aware of the con-
sequences. In fact, they (and all of us) knew a situa on
like this would occur in future but they didn’t actually
CARE in me and neither did we.
You might want to know what happened
to the Solar Energy, Nuclear Energy and
the other sources. Well, Nuclear Energy is
used in rich na ons to generate electric-
ity, but with a fear of finishing the nuclear
fuels. Solar panels, as I’ve heard, are being
fixed in all the houses in the U.K. but their
low efficiency allows them to give power
only to a few light bulbs. Electrical cars are being intro-
duced in the U.S.A. but their ba ery’s efficiency allows
those to be used only for about 60-70 miles, which is
not even enough for them to go and return from work!
But, some charging sta ons are being set up to solve
the problem there. The Solar Energy, however, is not
precisely feasible in Nepal and other polluted na ons.
The sky, s ll remaining polluted, provides very li le
sunlight to the panels, which are too expensive and
provide very less efficiency, making them very difficult
to use. Besides, Kathmandu has become so dense that
most roofs are blocked from the sunlight. So, se ng
up the panels solves no problem. Moreover, global
warming that led to the quick mel ng of snow caps
was not u lized then; so, experts here are looking for
the best place to establish efficient hydro-power plant.
It’s heard that scien sts around the globe are
looking for new alterna ves but none can be sure how
long they’ll take. How can you say when the airplanes
are almost out; only the very important government
officials of rich country can afford to make a few flights
once every few weeks. Returning back to our country
of load shedding, the rejec on of projects and mas-
sive corrup on of dona ons are the root cause of our
electricity shortage now and were then too. Another
reason of this situa on is that local people, instead of
suppor ng, were blocking any electrical projects for
one or another reason. But, at least we have a hope
now. Our hydro power project is being made. In fact
it has been going on for a decade. Not that it was dif-
ficult to accomplish earlier. It just didn’t get a en on
and was constantly interrupted. The hydropower plant
is the only ray of hope people can see. And, of course,
it is in fact the only one. But, it is too expensive and
almost imprac cal now. We have nothing to export to
the outer world to gain enough money to buy the lo-
gis cs for the hydro-power project; it requires a large
number of skilled manpower, a proper distribu on
line, proper monitoring system, of which, we have
none. But, it’s the only try we can make. Well, saying
be er late than never and wai ng for our desperate
dream is all we can do.
►all change begins with you!
-Soumya Pahari
MarkeƟng Head
The SET council
Change is inevitable .Like
all the other teenagers, I also have
this trivial dream of changing the
world one day. You’re never old
to dream, un l you realize it’s me to stop dreaming
and start doing. We all want changes in our lives but
the ques on arises: where do we start from? Our fam-
ily? friends? teachers? neighbor? Or, the person who
sits next to you in class? Well, we learn to speak before
we learn to sing, we crawl before we walk, likewise, we
change ourselves before changing anything or anyone
else. Change is inside out not inside in.
Mahatma Gandhi once said “Be the change
you want to see”, but before that we need to “see”
things clearly. For instance, when you’re wearing a
William Shakespeare once said:
“Be er three hours too soon than a minute too late.”
I guess if we tried some 70-80 years back, we would
most likely be pe oned by many. If we only let one of
those thousand proposals for hydropower plants work,
if only we didn’t ask for bribe from that one company
that was trying so hard to set up the 300 megawa
plant, if only we let those foreign dona ons be spent
on our precious source, and so many other wishes are
there unfulfilled. It has been a joke in our country. It
has been nothing but a fast. If there was a me ma-
chine built then most Nepalese would want to return
to the 2060s and change their fate. And what can we
do now? Well, we can breathe, hear our heart beat,
blink our eyes, give a false smile and wait for a miracle,
which will almost never happen now, desperately.

on the driver’s seat. It’s me to stop dreaming and

small changes helps to build confidence. If you wish

 ►If You Could Change the
World, where would you
start from?
-Anuj Bastola
IT Coordinator & Treasurer
The SET Council
Around the globe there are
millions people willing to change
the world,but the problem seems to be where to start
from.Is the change something personal? Yes! It must
start from within. If we wish to change the world into
a be er one, make it a point, aim high and follow your
dreams. The most effec ve and realis c way to change
the world is by star ng to change ourselves.If the mil-
lions people who are willing to change the world start
to believe that the change begins from us , then this
change will much more than what a government of
developed countries can do .
There is a song, “Lord, send a revival, and let
it start in me.” It needs to start in you when it comes
about change. If you want to change your world then
the first thing you need to do is change yourself.The
change you want to see depends on how you think,
how you behave & how you react on things. If you
can change the way you think, the way you behave
and react on things, then you can see the change you
want to see in around the world. Not only because
you are now viewing your environment through new
lenses of thoughts and emo ons but also because the
change within can allow you to take ac on in ways you
wouldn’t have – or maybe even have thought about –
while stuck in your old thought pa erns.
Mahatma Gandhi, preeminent leader of Indian
independence movement once said, “In a gentle way
you can shake the world”. When it is about change ,
the most important thing you need to do is be aware
about what you are doing and what you are gonna do
next , set a goal , aim high and start following your
dream un l you reach your aim and you should pos-
sess never give up al tude . You all have unique po-
ten al to something special. Nobody can control you
without your permission.

 ►Hope
-Bhavana Bhandari
SET Councillor
Difficult it is but I know I
can because my hope has already
driven me there where I can
stand…
So many things to do, so many alterna ves to
choose and no doubt number of obstacles to tackle!
Whenever you feel like it’s the end and nothing can be
done then look up and you’ll find that there’s some-
thing that is clearing the dark clouds of sorrow and
misery; there is something bright behind the terrify-
ing curtains of disbelief and non-confidence. So hear it
out; The music of life: The music of Hope.
In this today’s world of compe on where
every individual is chasing his/her dreams, it is seen
that many a people do not get their dreams changed
to reality and nor they achieve their goals. It is be-
cause of the fact that the people are pessimis c; they
let their win over their hope. They leave their work in
the middle where the sca ered work is yet to be as-
sembled. But unlike such people there are also some
people who are always with hope and posi ve mind
set up who is never seen to be defeated in life. And
such people are notother than the op mis c ones.
As a ma er of fact hope is that very thing which
inspires us from within, mo vates us towards our
des na on and encourages us to face every upcom-
ing hindrance. It is what provides us with confidence,
compassion and consistency. It is said that hope is the
half victory. So if one is hopeful enough then no power
in the world can shake his determina on and no force
can dare push him behind on his way to success.
Whenever one ini ates his work then from
that very moment the hurdles get on their work of
pushing that person back. The path that the person
has to get along is not easy. It is full with ups and down
and moving ahead is way too difficult. But ponder it’s
not something impossible. If one is hopeful enough to
get to that point of success then he will get there for
sure, his hope will drive him there with full enthusiasm
and confidence. So hope never lets us go far from our
dreams rather it makes us go for it. So be hopeful for
►Brother of Earth:
Kepler 186F
-Abnish Pathak
11”A”
Our universe is a collec on of many galaxies.
It is too vast to explore. Among various galaxies like
ellip cal, spiral and irregular, our ancestors and our
genera on used to reside in milky way galaxy which
falls under spiral galaxy. In this galaxy various planets
asteroids, stars, comets, meteoroids, etc. are found.
Among various planets found here we reside on planet
earth which is only suitable planet for life due to its
unique features like breathable atmosphere, adequate
water, temperature, etc.
In this galaxy, different planets have various
nicknames such as Mars as red planet, Venus as morn-
ing star and so on. Like them a newly explored plan-
et is known as brother of Earth named Kepler 186F.
Talking about its shape and size, it is just 10% larger
than the Earth. It also possesses an adequate atmo-
sphere like our planet. Our planet revolves around the
sun which is a small star whereas this planet revolves
round a huge star which is smaller than sun. But, the
star is li le cooler than sun. It completes its own rev-
olu on in just 144 days while the Earth requires 365
days. Earth has its neighbouring planet like Venus and
Mars. Similarly its neighbouring planets are Kepler A,
Kepler B and Kepler C which are revolving around their
own orbit But it is very far from the sun(approx. 490
light years farther from our planet earth). Scien sts
are s ll carrying research on this planet.
But the ques on always arises whether this
planet will allow life on it? Will the creatures be way
too advanced or primi ve than us humans? So even if
it has life on it, will it be a threat to the human civiliza-
on? And are we really going to discover aliens like
they do in movies? Let’s see how me will answer
such queries and ques ons.

 ►The agony of Stewardship

-Abhi Bhandari
Event Manager
The SET Council
I am strong because
I know my weakness, I am
fearless because I learnt to
recognize illusion from real,
I am wise because I learn
from my mistakes and I can
cope because I have experienced.
Going beyond the blues is something that ac-
tually defines me. And to comprehend this here I am
a science student indulged in management works. I
have always believed that ideas and experiences add
spices to the savor of life and this is what actually my
passion has proven for me. Event stewardship has be-
come a relishing delicacy in my cup of tea.
Se ng deadlines for myself and others, spend-
ing more me on a job than it permits, concentra ng
on important tasks, planning processing and execut-
ing, scheduling appointments to avoid interrup ons,
improving communica on, making notes and manag-
ing the boundaries was not an easy task but definitely
a ravishing and demanding experience that has actu-
ally re-inscribed me.
And the key is not to priori ze what’s on my
schedule but to schedule my priori es. Management
for me is an ac vity or act where those who have not
yet succeeded and those who have been proven un-
successful are led by those who have not yet failed. I
have always believed that if you focus on results you
will never change but if you focus on change you will
get results. Hence to seek common occasions and
make them great is something that has been a main
focus.
stroy us. It all depends on how we handle it. Well when I
sneak into the past I have learnt to think out of the box,
to plan and execute, to accept and reject, to collaborate
and isolate, to priori ze and streamline and finally to
organize efficiently. The very chamber has rooted in me
the art to think crea vely, work diligently and execute
incomparably. I’ve learnt to recognize frustra ons and
go with its territory, to approach and to refute, to avoid
bulldoze conflict but to think in terms of assets and li-
abili es and most importantly to accommodate and hos-
pitalize huge crowds. It has helped me bring a change in
the way I deal with people.
As a proxy I’ve gathered a bunch of experiences and
ideas that are worth being frui ul in the days to come.
These two years of sheer indulgent has inbuilt in me
a confidence that will enable me to work with dignity
turning me into a gallant and gutsy individual.
In other words my work has truly defined my
passion and my passion is what defines me.
If you don’t go a er what you want you’ll never
have it. If you don’t ask the answer is always no. If you
don’t step forward you’re always in the same place.

my mind and as I wash the dishes, drops of tears fall
down in the sink. And then I hear footsteps, rough and
stomping hard on the ground. The girl of fourteen,
dressed in her loose pajamas and a baggy tee-shirt
stares at me as if I had done something wrong; as if
she she had a revenge to take. Her eyes, burning red
and swollen. A combined effect of sleepless nights
spent on hours and hours of crying. “Your eyes, they
look red, Hayley. You alright, dear?” “Duh! How many
mes do I have to tell you ,old lady? I was awake the
whole night watching movies. It’s scien fic!! My eyes
will turn red!!” Saying this, she walks out of the house.
“Breakfast is ready, dear. You can leave a er you have
it.” “Stop interfering in my life, will you? I’ll have it at
Lily’s place! Stop showing your concern as if you really
care!” My heart breaks a er hearing this. I can’t shout
at her; I don’t have the right to do so. All I can do is
just stay there, not taking her words by heart. And this
happens every morning.
But today was different; something unusual.
She returns back a er a er an hour. Dragging her feet
through the hallway,she stands there right in front of
me with a cup of coffee in her hand. “Um Megan, can
we talk? I mean, a couple of minutes won’t take long,
would it?” YES. She made an a empt to have a con-
versa on with me. “Oh yes! Of course! Sure! Why not
dear? No..no.. That definitely won’t take long. In fact,
I could spare the whole life for you!” I exclaimed in
joy, like every other mother would do just to have a
meaningful conversa on with her baby girl. “Oh don’t
get started with you cheesy drama again,lady! Fol-
low me!” I follow her like a list puppy and I don’t even
know what made me do so. I follow her to the store
room where she grabs a chair for herself and tells me
that si ng on an old ragged carpet won’t hurt much.
And again, I follow her instruc ons. Then she starts
with her conversa on.
“So, Megan, you’ve learnt English, haven’t you?
How about you prepare a divorce le er for yourself,
eh?” “Divorce? Are you kidding me? Girl,do you even
know what that means? Oh,oh! Let me guess, maybe
it’s one of your school assignments. I’ll help you with
that dear, no worries, I’m always there for you.” “Duh!
Not the usual tacky drama again! Why don’t we just
come to the main point? Your job: sign on the divorce
paper and quietly walk out of my life. I don’t need a
mother in my life. You’re free; I’m more than free!
Done deal?”
“Hayley, what makes you think it’s that easy?
Your father married me so that I could fill up the va-
cant space of a mother in your life. And you think I’ll
wall away? No,never my child, you got it all misunder-
stood. It doesn’t ma er if I’m just your step mother.
I won’t let you turn into a spoilt child. At least, not in
this life me.”
“Oh,so that’s what you aiming at,huh? Just to
make me an obedient child! But you know what? I’m
already a spoilt child. A helpless child who has ruined
her whole childhood just because she got bullied at
school for not having a real mother. You know how I
spend my nights? I CRY!! I cry because i’ve never had
a sound sleep on the lap of my actual mother. And you
expect me to sleep? People say she ran away a er
giving birth to me. Some s ll say that being a girl is a
curse for me. And now I feel how stupid iy was of her
to let me go just because of my gender. Not untouch-
able; not ill; not paralyzed; not disabled; not mentally
retarded; not cursed. I was just another normal child.
A child reaching out for her mother’s arms. But no!
She was so scared of me that she thought leaving the
ny soul to face the cruel world herself would be bet-
ter than being a helping hand for her to survive. And
today, I s ll don’t get the meaning of the word ‘moth-
er’. My friends say that she’s a very loving being whose
one touch can heal wounds. All these sleepless nights
that I cried, no one was there to wipe my tears away.
How can I even expect anyone to heal mu wounds? For
me, my mother is dead. And as people say ,there can
only be one mother, no one can replace her in my life.
And I don’t even want anyone to do so. You’re kind,
Megan. I admit you are. So be er don’t compare your
kindness with her cruelty. And no ma er how much
kind you are to me, I won’t be kind to you, because no-
body taught me how to be kind and I sure don’t have
any experience talking to mothers.”
And with these words,she leaves me numb and speech-
less. I know what she used to do all those nights. But I
didn’t know her intensions were so deep and her pain
lied within. And she definitely showed me my worth.
I didn’t feel guilty. I did the best I could to be a good
mother. But for a child who never took the meaning of
a mother seriously, all I could do was wipe her tears.

 ►Opportunities and Threats in Information Technology
-Ashish Khatri
12”B”
The informa on technology, in present gen-
era on means the be er use of technologies in order
to gain knowledge of any field.And science is one of
the major fields which uses most of the new tech-
nologies for the be erment of the world.From new
inven ons and discoveries on any field on earth, to
providing home medicines for performing cri cal
surgeries,science is developing so rapidly with the help
of new informa on technologies that it has made the
life(from men to animals) easier and more comfort-
able.Here,in today’s genera on, the new informa on
technology means the new versions of robots having
high intelligence,which can perform cri cal surgeries
that humans cannot. Similarly the development in the
new versions of the computers that the people around
the world carry in their pockets all the me connects
to the internet at any me.So,it has become very much
easier to gain informa on on any topic through differ-
ent sites which have informa on about almost every-
thing.
Now,while science has been able to connect dif-
ferent parts of the world through its development,dthe
new informa on technologies however have also
helped this field to bring enmity between any two
countries or individuals .The ongoing wars between
the most powerful countries are the cause of rapid de-
velopment of informa on technologies. So we can say
that the informa on technologies are also the origin
of the produc on of devasta ng weapons that the dif-
ferent countries boast of.
But can we consider this development of infor-
ma on technology to have been started in recent gen-
era ons only? Let’s go back to that me from which
the actual development in informa on technology
and thus the human civiliza on have been seen.
If we look at the history of mankind, we get to
read that different Gods from all religions have taken
birth on earth(some people are believed to become
Gods) in course of me.And their main purpose of
living on earth as humans was for the development
18 The SET Magazine | Social Service, Environment & Technology
of mankind.Learning about the different incarna-
ons of Lord Vishnu to Siddhartha becoming the Lord
Buddha,etc… we get to learn that they played vital role
in making this world like it has been today.So,when
even Gods were on earth for the development of
mankind,can we not find the development of the
informa ontechnologies(one of the major subjects to
help in the development of mankind) as well?
Yes, with the development of mankind, the de-
velopment of informa on technologies was also much
be er in their me and why wouldn’t it be? Those
were the me where demons were believed to actu-
ally rule the earth which brought the necessity of gods
to come on earth for the protec on of mankind.
It is said that the Vedas (wri en in those ini al
me periods) have the answers to any ques on in the
world. But they have been wri en in such a way that
a common man cannot understand them as easily as
they do with other books.
“The problem with us today is that we work
with informa on that perceive through our senses and
our senses are imperfect. The whole process of sci-
ence, which is observa on and experiment, is flawed
because all our observa ons are perceived through
our imperfect senses.”
For example: It has been said that the religious
books like ‘The Vedas’ contain the solu ons to ways
of produc on of many medicines that science is being
unsuccessful today.
Now this is the opportunity to mankind to
bring such technologies so that the words wri en in
those sacred books can be understood along with the
meanings that they hold so that we can profit from
the knowledge in our life for the improvement and
development in the field of sciencelike in medicine).
However, the drawback is that it is the human mind
that creates the new technologies and how can those
machines have be er knowledge that even their cre-
ators don’t have. While some are also trying to bring
ar ficial intelligence in the machines. But s ll the rea-
sons for the unsuccessfulness maybe due to the lack of
their capaci es while some maybe lacking behind by
foreseeing the consequences of those machines hav-
ing ar ficial intelligence if took the paths of destruc-
on. And this probably is the threat in informa on
technology.
Thus,looking at such opportuni es,the western
countries are teaching Sanskrit in order to understand
the Vedas wri en in the eastern part so that the new
discoveries can be made and the mysterious puzzles of
the world can be solved.
Now while going through the pages of history,
our religious holy books,we can see that the process
of wars con nuing from heaven to earth between the
gods and the demons,between the devils and those
who do Karma,between the follower of truth and non-
follower of Dharma.And those devasta ng wars the
most powerful weapons were being used by both of
the teams.Now, today those powerful weapons like
the Devastra,Asurastra,Brahmasstra etc… are believed
to be real and even a ainable in themodern age in the
form of modern biological missiles to the modern nu-
clear weapons. For example:Pashupatastra,the weap-
on of Lord Shiva,when used in the me of Mahabharat
by Arjunais believed to cause a catastrophic explosion
similar to H-bombs.
The main point of talking about the weapons
is that the ques on then may arise “As the people of
21st century are developed forms of people of those
me,why are they behind in terms of technologies in
the weapons making process than those warriors?”
The answer is it is believed that such powerful forces at
that me(Mahabharat)had to be stopped at the end of
the Kurukshetra because Lord Krishna knew that those
powers can create havoc in this present me risking
everybody’s life.So he gave end to such powers by kill-
ing those great warriors through his mind games.
rime of releasing the missiles.
But these opportuni es are the threat in tech-
nology itself as for defense the other country will also
prac ce the same; thereby bringing the compe on
between the two most powerful countries, which fi-
nally will turn into another World War.
So, I believe that we, the 21st century learners
are provided with so much opportuni es to bring new
crea on,innova on,inven on,discoveries etc… And
they do not need to search any new path as everything
is already installed inside and around themselves.They
just need to try their best to look through the other
side of the glass.The Vedic process for receiving knowl-
edge is different. The Vedic process does not only de-
pend on our senses or our intellectual specula on.The
facts wri en in such Books will never change. It was
always true in the past, it is true now and it will con-
nue to be true in the future.
This will lead to the be er development of the
informa on technology.Then these technologies will
provide more opportuni es to the humans as these
technologies will create the necessity to find oppor-
tuni es to solve each and every threats that will come
across their paths.At that me people will “learn to
give,not to take;learn to serve, not to rule.”And this
will definitely bring peace and harmony in the world.
The End.

Therefore that ac vity has brought great op-

portunity in the field of informa on technology for
those countries who are working hard to generate the
powerful weapons for their security.Again,it’s not that
today’s scien sts are avoiding such theories but have
rather started prac cing such knowledge. Forexample,
the mantras that those warriors used to pray before
firing their weapons maybe similar to the computer
programs that the programmers program during the

Ours life is a busy one. The hustle of modern

out of the chaos that we ourselves have created? A
quick look at the saying of a great leader of our imme-
diate neighbor and it seems we aren’t the first players
in this game of “Develop yourself and your country”.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi AKA ‘bapu’, one of the
founding father of modern India famously said “Be the
change you want to see in the world”. it suggests that
your responsibili es begin and end with your own be-
havior. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies
in the world would also change. As a man changes his
own nature, so does the a tude of the world change
towards him. We need not wait to see what others
do. Here, Gandhi is telling us that personal and social
transforma on go hand in hand, but there is no sug-
ges on in his words that personal transforma on is
enough. In fact, for Gandhi, the struggle to bring about
a be er world involved not only stringent self-denial
and rigorous adherence to the philosophy of nonvio-
lence; it also involved a steady awareness that one
person, alone, can’t change anything, an awareness
that unjust authority can be overturned only by great
numbers of people working together with discipline
and persistence.But does it mean that we shouldn’t
make any starts? Surely No! we should at least create
the path for others to follow. The path which will guide
us to a be er tomorrow in a free of biasness.They say
“Charity begins at home.”If we do something we will
set an example for others to follow. This is truly what
the guru of nonviolence implied to us. By change we
shouldn’t limit ourselves to the physical changes but
more importantly the spiritual changes inside us are
also important to focus.
It seems we didn’t learn any lessons from the
epitome of truth though he was just doing such that
in our immediate neighbourhood. Eventhough the
writer doesn’t blame us alone. The people who were
supposed to guide us in the path of development of
our country turned out worse than us. There’s no need
to tell about the deeds the elected leaders of our great
country have been doing especially a er the recent
drama in the CA. It has been more than two decades

 ►SCIENCE AND ITS FAULTs

-Sangam Paudel
The ligh ng of fire some 1.4
million years ago by the Homo Erectus
enabled humankind to escape from
the limita ons of the Stone Age and
romp forward in the noble path of sci-
ence. Now looking back we have set
new horizons of discoveries. But there sure have been
instances when science gets into the wrong hands or
more accurately science gets mishandled. When the
wrath of the human mind meets the innova on of sci-
ence, an appe te of mass destruc on is conceived.
Loads of tragic memories have been spo ed
in history that have been hung up as “achievements”
of science, notable the mass destruc on of the two
World Wars. The cruelty of Nazis depicted through tor-
ture of the concentra on camps and its gas chambers
had a bit of science and a huge dose of inhumanity in
it. Einstein’s phenomenal “General Theory of Rela v-
ity” was literally abused to cause a mammoth effect
on the Japanese. Many natural habitats have been the
field of study for radioac vity which over me has led
to those places being declared “unfit for life” because
of its effect.
However these events that result in large mag-
nitude of destruc on in a short period of me are not
the sole faults in science. Certain areas are being con-
sistently exploited and torn apart by the urge to bring
an extra bit of accelera on in science and its experi-
ments. Pollu on, an ever growing output of science
has altered both the physical and the chemical struc-
ture of the planet we live in. The waters have been
turned into stagnant bodies chemically affected, if not
physically visible. The air was once clean and mys que
that provided kilometers of vision. Now it’s a solvent
for smoke, dust and various other harmful gases. The
whole environment is falling down the charts with re-
gard to its “environment factor”.
But that is not where the experiments stop. Hu-
man brains have turned out to be much more complex
and science too has evolved. Its spectrum of good for
the world seems wide but so does the faults that come
along.Its faults are too prominent to be overlooked at
and if mistakenly such wrong is done, human civiliza-
on is surely deemed to fall.

Now… A magnificent piece of art it is
Do you heart it? Do you heart it?
That beauƟful melody It’s the song
That soothing sensaƟon to your ears Whose Ɵtle you’d always forget
Listen to it That something…
It seduces you with its melody Which had always been missing
It lures you down Yet you’ve never tried seeking it before
Don’t resist But now that you’ve found it
Let it be You’re enjoying its company
Do you hear it? It had been within you all along
Do you heart it now?
