After coming abroad, you will love your country and family more and more. My body is Canada. Mind and mind are memories of home and family.
Praksha Tamang from Pokhara recently completed her Masters degree from Langera College in Canada. She came to Canada after completing her BBA in Pokhara. Prakishna, who never left her family, was tormented by homesickness in the early days when she had to stay alone during migration. On top of that, the pressure of language, work and studies pressed on at the same time.
In the early days, there is no one known in the unknown city . New places, language became a lot of problems. The pressure of studying and work is loading me. Even now sometimes the heart is heavy . It took a long time to get used to it," she said. "After coming abroad, you will love your country and family more. My body is Canada . Mind and mind are the memories of home and family.'
She is involved in the work of sales associate and cashier. This income only covers expenses. "There is no saving," she said, "I did not come here to live, but to gather experience." I want to go back to Nepal and do my own business. He thinks that self-satisfaction is not always about wealth. It happens in a relationship . ``In Nepal, I was as happy as going around with my friends and family, dressed in normal clothes and riding a common transport. That happiness does not come even when you drive a car yourself in Canada,'' said Prachi, "I keep missing home and friends". At times like these, I look at old photos and express my feelings. I listen to patriotic songs.'
Niteshjung Kunwar's song 'Hamro Nepali' is not the same as an anthem for the youth going abroad. Nitesh's song is the story of their hearts being stuck somewhere in Nepal even though their bodies are abroad. Deepak Adhikari from Nawalparasi says that when he arrived in Australia, he spent a lot of time crying because of missing home. I never left home. All of a sudden, new city, new people, new culture, new customs are making it difficult," he said.
He arrived in Australia three years ago and is pursuing his master's degree in 'Business Administration'. He did not want to leave the country like his father. At the age of 25, Deepak remembers meeting his father only three times. "I came to Australia to study after realizing the suffering my father did in Kuwait." "The family is not running because of patriotism alone," he said, "They came with heavy debts." Sukhdukha: I am struggling in Australia.'
He said that he returned home to his father who was working in Kuwait. I have already told my father to kill himself at home. My father spent a lot of time abroad for us,' he said, 'I am experiencing the pain that my father suffered while living abroad.' After earning as much as he wants, Deepak wants to live in the bosom of his motherland. Pokhara's Dinesh Chapagai has not found his identity anywhere in America. "America's laws are enforced". Everyone respects every job . They express gratitude in everything. This part feels good,'' he said, 'but, here there is no sense of belonging like in Nepal. This is only to be remembered. He came to America to fulfill his dream by looking for a loan. The story of the struggle to do here is another.' He is studying in the third semester of his master's degree in Civil Engineering/Environmental and Water Resources Engineering in America.
'He had a strong confidence that he would do something in the country . The price was not commensurate with the work. We had to find a way to America,' said Dinesh, 'now it is okay to live with the work given by the college . Sending money for college fees is hard to say . I am making up for it by doing other things.' After arriving in America, he wants to study more about his country. Now I am more interested in politics of Nepal. I read the news regularly. I get updates on what is happening in Nepal. I listen to Nepali songs and music,' he said, 'If Nepal's education, health and employment were developed, it seems that no one would be forced to go abroad.' Dinesh wants to fulfill his wishes and desires in America. He says that he has no intention of returning to Nepal and doing anything now.
Shiksha Basnet from Kathmandu, who is studying nursing in America, has the experience of having to eat hepai from Nepali abroad. "Nepalese love and support Nepali people instead of supporting them". There is a tendency to get more done for less money. They act as if they can't give money after work,' she said. She came to America 3 years ago to study psychology. Now she is studying nursing. "I have invested money, time, and my age to make the future better." I sold my dream of doing something in Nepal and came to America with a new dream,' Shiksha is determined, 'I never imagined that I would turn anywhere without fulfilling my dream.' Like Dinesh, Shiksha also wants to earn tons of money in America and live her life abroad as per her wish.
Young people who leave their country to work in different countries have their own experiences and stories of struggles. Bandana Adhikari from Arghakhanchi, who came to study in Japan 4 years ago, feels like a robot living abroad. "When you come back from reading, no one will ask if you are a daughter if you are hungry like a mother". If you can earn . I feel lonely when my family is not with me," she said. "When I was in Nepal, I cried in front of my parents when I was not given money when I was going to visit somewhere. Now I have earned money myself . When I am not with my parents, I cry alone because I don't want my parents to see my tears. She said that happiness and belonging like Nepal is not found in foreign countries. Bandana also wants to earn money and return to Nepal to do industry and business. Students who read
have to run to raise expenses at the beginning . The fee from the work given by the college is not enough for them. Seema Khadka, who has been studying in the UK for a year, said that it was very difficult to live in the expensive UK in the early days. "The work given by the college made it very difficult to raise the college fees, apartment and other expenses in the early days . To come abroad is also expensive investment . There was no talk of returning home because it was difficult,' she said, 'even though she is sad, she is thinking of fulfilling her dreams, desires and aspirations in Britain.' Seema wants to visit her parents in Britain once. She also said that she is not thinking of returning to Nepal now.
Not all students will get a job right away due to their lack of language skills. Sushant Niraula of Morang, who has reached South Korea, is wandering in search of work. He arrived in Korea 5 months ago. Studying in Korea is mostly experiential. It is difficult to spend a day without getting a job if the language is not good. Came to study with a loan. He was thinking that he would work as soon as he arrived,' he said, 'even the money he brought from Nepal seemed to be insufficient . I don't know when I will get a job . I came to study and do something because of the responsibilities of the house . It has been very difficult not to get a job because of the language.'
Sushant thought that as soon as he arrived in Korea, he would earn tons of money and fulfill his dreams. It is not if the dream is not filled in their psyche . But after reaching Korea, he complains that it is not as he expected. As soon as I came to Korea, I was thinking of fulfilling my dream. But nothing will happen as desired. "I am sitting in my room hoping to get a job with my dreams in mind," he said. He is planning to go to another country from Korea to earn after his studies and visa, but he has not made any plans to return to his country. "Nepal's politics has not drawn us". The world does not run only with the love of the country and the love of the family," he said.

According to labor expert Chiranjeevi Baral, students are forced to go abroad due to lack of theoretical education system and jobs in the country. He says, "It is very difficult to work while studying in Nepal". Earning according to work is equally difficult. The education system here is more theoretical than practical. He said that the number of those who stayed in Nepal to do something in Nepal after all their friends went abroad and because the family and society weakened those living in Nepal rather than encouraging them to stay in Nepal and because the wishes and desires of current students are also big, the number of going abroad is increasing every day.
