Being a Reporter at the International Press in Model United Nations

I hate procrastination!

It was back in November of 2022 when I thought of writing this post. I had attended my first ever Model United Nations (MUN) - St. Xavier's College MUN - and yet received the Best Reporter Award from the International Press Committee. I was driven to write a post and even create a YouTube video sharing the inexpressible joy. Nonetheless, it never happened, and came the second MUN of my life - Kathmandu World School MUN - a MUN that had really good hype. Again, the motivation I gained from the first MUN was already pushing me to my second award at the second MUN. Indeed, it happened. I won the Best Reporter award at this MUN, too.

If you are excited reading about my achievement of 2 awards in 2 MUNs. Let me tell you this, the three days in both MUNs came with 10 hours of sleep only.

An International Press Committee has two delegations: A reporter and A Photographer. Choosing to be a photographer over a reporter will reward you with plenty amount of sleep - it shall be a Good Night. If you are choosing a reporter over the other, you gotta think about it a hundred times. Thinking about sleep will give you nightmares. Honestly, so many reports, interviews, articles, and preparation for the Press Conference, all of these take so much time that you can barely focus on any other activity, not even your Good Night's sleep.

How can I miss telling you the most difficult task of being a reporter? You ought to stay two full days in a MUN Committee that you are assigned, hearing the debates between delegations from various countries, yet having nothing to speak but to write down anything and everything that happened during the committee, from intense debates to random gossip. If you find yourself incapable of doing these, I reckon International Press is not a wise choice for you.

It would be unfair if I said I learned a few things from MUN. It taught me a lot of things. Despite International Press not being a social committee, interactions with the Head and Editor-In-Chief will teach you great things.

What's more pleasing is hearing "No Comments" from the delegates. During the press conference, we - the reporters have the privilege of asking questions to the delegates. When the questions are literally tough and the delegates refrain from answering them, we gain additional points. Moreover, hearing multiple "No Comments" made me feel special during the MUNs.

It was only during MUNs I never procrastinated!

It is going to be an abrupt ending but see you in another article!

An Incubate-eeeeeee

Getting accepted into Incubate Nepal Before I begin, let me ask you, “Did you know that I was accepted to the cohort of Incubate Nepal 2023?”. Most of you would say, “No!”; leaving a few who had messaged me to learn about my application status. Everyone knows this still, I am emphasizing it, “The public does not know your achievements unless you share them.” What conclusion can you draw from this? Well, if you want to keep something private, just don’t share it on social media. That’s all! Moral lessons apart, how would you react if your application was reviewed by a Harvard alumnus and received a mail stating that you have been shortlisted for the interview process? Awesome? Would you jump out of excitement? It’s totally normal to get overwhelmed in these situations, isn’t it? So, I consider myself abnormal. I didn’t react much to hearing the decision. Perhaps, it could be because the decision was sent in the morning and not at midnight. Had it ...

Sukhani Assassination- 2029 (Sukhani Hatyakanda)

Image Courtesy: Nepal Television Sukhani Assassination, or Sukhani Hatyakanda, is a sad historical event, which occured on 21st Falgun, 2029 in Sukhani, Illam where 5 martyrs: Netra Ghimire, Biren Rajbansi, Krishna Kuinkel, Ramnath Dahal, and Narayan Shrestha, received martyrdom. These five martyrs were accused of the death of Dharma Prasad Upadhyay, the then member of the National Panchayat (panchayat is the party less political system of governance) and were shot dead by the government. They had also been convicted as the leaders of the Jhapa Revolt, a revolt launched by the Communist Party of Nepal (CPN - Marxist and Leninist) during 2028 for the rights of poor people and against feudalism. In commemoration of these five historical personalities, Sukhani Park has been established in Illam, Nepal, which has the statues of these five erected. It can be seen in the above image.
