Muna Madan

Almost no one hasn’t heard of Devkota’s most well-known creation, the Muna Madan. This short epic about Muna and Madan is well-known in Nepali, but its English translation is equally well-known. Madan, a hopeless rancher, decides to go to Tibet as a vendor in order to get money, leaving behind his elderly mother and lovebird wife, Muna. Muna begs her husband to stay, but Madan withdraws in the hopes of accumulating wealth for the family. The hardships Muna and Madan have while trying to reunite with one another are depicted in a horrible way in sonnet. Muna Madan, while being a short epic, has become a commercial success and is regarded as a model of Nepali writing.

Plot

Muna Madan is a Nepalese epic that tells the heartbreaking story of Muna and Madan. It was written in a melodious version in 1935 by Nepalese writer Laxmi Prasad Devkota. It is one of the most well-known works of Nepali literature. Not long before his death in 1959, Devkota observed, “It would be fine if every one of my works were singed, except for Muna Madan.” In terms of deals, it is the best Nepali book ever written. It’s not a Jhaurey song in the traditional sense. The plot revolves around a man (Madan) who abandons his significant other (Muna) and travels to Lhasa in order to bring in money. Madan represents all Nepalese young people who migrate abroad to make ends meet.

Muna, Madan’s wife, is the queen of sacrifice and love. She adores her Madan and is devastated that she must send him to Lahsa, a dangerous and difficult region. However, she accepts the challenge and decides to remain in the country with her elderly and weak mother-in-law. On his way back to his residence, Madan becomes unwell. His friends abandon him on the road and come home to tell him he has died. Finally, a Nepalese man from a lower caste comes to his aid. That is why a guy is said to be magnificent because of his heart, which is full of love and humanity, rather than his caste or ethnicity.

Madan returns to Kathmandu after regaining his health only to discover that both his mother and beloved wife had died. Madan ultimately comes to the realization that money has no meaning at the time. The story also recounts the life of a poor widow who suffered greatly without her husband and died in sorrow. In this poem, Devkota addresses the most important challenges plaguing Nepalese society at the moment. Through the story of Muna and Madan, Laxmi Prasad Devkota hopes to stabilize the truths of archaic societies, unscientific notions, and the negative impacts of unemployment and poverty in Nepalese society. The poet has brilliantly characterized love by writing about Muna and Madan’s connection.

Spine Breaker by BTS

Bangtan Soneyondan, popularly known as BTS, released their third and final album of the ‘School Trilogy’, Skool Luv Affair, in the year 2014. As hinted by the title, ‘Skool Luv Affair’, the albums main theme is the love that blossoms during the school days. In this project, they worked on the most interesting topics to teens of their own age, dreams, love and happiness.

Such penetrating insight into the hearts and minds of the youngsters led to the huge support that BTS are receiving from the fans of their age. The members directly participated into making of the songs, vowing to ensure that their songs reflect the reality of their generation. Spine Breaker is the 8th song in that album which is co-written by some of the members of the band along with a few others from their label.

“Spine Breaker” is all about those trendy but expensive clothes that so many teenagers around the world want and that so many teenagers around the world would “die” for. Parents are persuaded to empty their wallets for these items and why shouldn’t they? After all their children desperately think that they need to own them. A children’s wish is a parent’s command. The song is all about those expensive and trendy ‘padded jackets’ which are worn by teenagers and children while going to school in winters.

Back in 2009, North Face Inc., an American company which manufactures outerwear, coats, jackets, shirts, footwear and equipment like backpacks, tents and sleeping bags. Their main target audience were teenagers, hikers, mountaineers and endurance athletes. The North Face jackets rose into popularity and became no1 due to the fact that they provide never ending warmth and excellent quality during winters.

Eventually, these puffy outdoor jackets not only became a fashion statement but also a symbol of class division thus supporting peer pressure, bullying and violence in Korean schools. The problem was that all the North Face jackets had a slightly different appearance for different prices. This made the teenagers start competing among themselves that who would buy the more expensive jackets.

And so, jackets that were meant to be a product for obtaining warmth pitifully became on the one hand a status symbol but also one the other hand a so-called “uniform” for the students as well. BTS reacted to it by saying in their lyrics that ” You’re not going to freeze, just because you’re not wearing that padded jacket. Before you fill the jacket with goose down. Fill your head with some common decency, before it’s too late.”

They also added that ” You’re the spine breaker. Your parents’ spine breaker. Someday you’ll regret it. The damned spine breaker”. Which means that instead of breaking your parents spines and becoming a burden to them, make your own money and buy those expensive clothes. They termed all the children who torture their parents for making them buy expensive clothes and jackets as ‘Spine Breakers’, thus the title of this song.

How to Maintain Sanity in When Social Media Gets too Overwhelming?

We all aware of the digital era we have entered in. It is undeniably addictive and luring. From just sharing pictures, videos and content it has now become an indispensable part of our lives. Try asking a young teenager if they have a social media account. Their answer is always going to be yes, without fail. 

That is how deeply social media has penetrated into the society. 

It can be pretty overwhelming sometimes. Social media was given to the world as a blessing. People used it to get connected to each other and find communities where they belonged. 

Social media was once a break from reality but now experiencing life is a break from social media.

 

Who can we really blame? 

Can we really blame social media? In my opinion, social media shouldn’t be held accountable. We should really be blaming the people and organizations who are using it, in the wrong ways. Like every other thing, social media has a good as well as a bad side, both of which the society brings out. Lets look at some of the factors that are making social media toxic. 

  • Fake vs Reality

 How many of us really look for credibility in a particular post or content? A very few or none of us. We come across something, we watch it, we get affected by it and move forward. None of us question the origin or the reality of that post.

 

There are so many influencers, so many organizations who fake their content just for a few likes and shares.
How is it going to be any different? 
How are they really going to influence people like that? 
They skip these questions all together. 
There are a very few creators who present their truest selves in front of the audience. It starts getting so overwhelming at a point where you are not able to judge what is right or wrong for you. In this situation all you need is a little discretion and less time on social media. 
  • #FOMO

This is an internet slang for “fear of missing out”. This is a very common situation in today’s society. This FOMO makes you anxious for not catching up with the daily updates of the virtual world. Let’s take an example. 

Girl A doesn’t check her Instagram for one day and goes to school the other day. Girl B asks her if she saw the viral funny cat video yesterday. She says no. She gets laughed at. Now she makes sure she checks her socials everyday before coming to school. It has gradually turned into her habit now. 
The only way this could have been prevented was to not have made such a big deal of social media from the first day itself. Check yourself if you are fanning the flame of social media in the daily walk of life. Try to treat it only as a distraction from the routine rather than basing your whole life on it. 
  • Self-Image Issues 

We are functioned in a way that we always compare ourselves with others. Be it the notable personalities, a neighbor next door, a friend or a colleague. We compare ourselves so much that we become unaware of the worth we hold in us. Social media is a top notch platform to propagate this. 

We tend to mirror our personalities in front the unmatchable standards of the people on social media. This butchers self confidence and creates issues with self. 
As human beings we usually forget the fact that we are all different individuals with different timelines, processes and personalities. All you can do is trust yourself and not fall prey to the fake standards. 
  • Anxiety

The constant nudges from social media and the urge to keep scrolling down the page starts causing anxiety. You are constantly worried about either what to post next or watch next. It never ends and neither does the feeling of unease leading to harmful scenarios for the body, mind and soul. 

The question pleads, how do you stop it. Answer is detox, a social media detox. Take a break from it, just sit back and relax. Learn to find time for yourself. It is going to freshen and broaden up your mind indeed. 
You think you are the one controlling your social media, but then it becomes too late when you realize that you are the one being controlled.

At the end when you start feeling social media starts getting too overwhelming and controlling for you; when you feel you are getting addicted to it start lessening the time devoted to it. Start taking out more time for yourself. Then there’s social media detox too, where you stop using your socials altogether. 
These are a few ways in which you can maintain your sanity in these challenging times.
