Here's a transcript of the speech in the video (cleaned for clarity, with approximate timestamps):
[0:00] Today I stand here with the dream of building a new Nepal, with the fire of hope and passion burning within me. But my heart is heavy because this dream seems to be slipping away.
[0:14] Rise and shine, futures of this upcoming imperial empire. Ayyavishkar Raut, head boy of this everlasting imperial institute, Hull Liberal English Secondary School, welcomes you with open arms to our 24th annual program.
[0:30] I put myself before this moment to shed light within your consciousness by piercing the dark nimbus that circles above you. I am present here today to immortalize a monumental change in the course of history.
[0:49] Nepal, our mother, this country gave us our birth, nurtured us. But what did it ask in return? Just our honesty, our hard work, our contribution. But what are we doing? We are bounded by the chains of unemployment, fleeing abroad in thoughts of opportunities. We are trapped by the selfish games of political parties. Corruption has woven a web that is extinguishing the light of our futures.
[1:21] Youth, rise! We are the torchbearers of change. If we do not raise our voices, who will? If we don't build this nation, who will? We are the fire that will burn away the darkness, the storm that will sweep away injustice and bring prosperity.
[1:49] Our ancestors shed their blood to give us this nation. We cannot sell it, we cannot lose it. We are the fire that will burn every despair away.
[2:03] Now we must decide: Will we drown in the darkness of despair or rise as a sun of hope? Will we change the fate of this nation or will it remain in shackles? King Birendra once said, "Even if I die, shall my country live on." Youth, carry these words in your heart and engrave a monument of change in the course of history.
[2:35] Nepal is ours, and its future is in our hands. Jai Nepal!

One of the greatest joys of teaching is farewelling and celebrating the amazing young adults I teach. I love seeing how they relax over the two years, and how they grow to be empowered, critical, and empathetic. I really dedicate my energy to teaching my course as I ..cont in com
When parents pushback because they want schooling that looks like what they had, ask them about their lives over the past 10 years - pandemic, AI, careers, health, families - then ask if they think that the schooling they experienced is sufficient for their children? #NewMetrics
RIP Tina.
Nutbush- “No one seems to know exactly where it came from,” said Jadey O’Regan, a #popculture expert at the University of Sydney. “It’s like a crop circle. Who made it? Where did it come from?”
The Nutbush, a dance set to Tina Turner’s “Nutbush City Limits,” is sometimes considered an unofficial national dance in Australia — although no one is quite sure how it started.
It has taken on special significance after the singer’s death.
