I was born and raised in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, nestled in the central part of the country. The weather here is moderate, neither too hot nor too cold, making it comfortable for people to live in. It's one of the most populated cities in Nepal. Looking back, my house was surrounded by greenery and village areas. I fondly remember playing with my neighbors in those spaces. After finishing our homework, we'd run outside and play until our hearts were content. I miss those days. However, the area has now become a residential zone. Cafes have sprung up, and there's hardly any space left for play. It's become quite risky for children to play outside. Sadly, Kathmandu is also known as the most polluted city in Nepal. It's disheartening, but the government is taking legal action to improve the situation. We're seeing more electric vehicles on the roads, which is a positive step towards reducing air pollution.
