What is the dream of a Nepali going abroad? Desire for a beautiful life, financial stability and family happiness. But to fulfill these dreams, not only sweat, but also tears and blood should be shed abroad.

Life abroad may seem glamorous, but its reality is full of hard struggles, tired faces and countless sacrifices. The daily routine of Nepalis who come to work in a developed country like Japan is no less than that of a robot.

Rushing to work in the morning, tired throughout the day, and at night the tired steps of returning home. 50-something mothers sweat making hotel beds, young students spend all day at school and all night carrying heavy loads. There are also those who work in supermarkets, the struggle of those who work in bento is not less. The cooks of Nepali restaurants are living a tired life even after 12 hours of work.

Those who live at home have a pleasant imagination of abroad. Flashy photos on Facebook and funny videos on Tik Tok make foreign countries look like paradise. But the truth hidden in these posts is that there is no plant that grows money abroad. Even the money earned from hard work day and night does not make them happy, because iPhones, gifts and expensive things are expected from home.

The dream of many Nepalis in Nepal is to build a house in Kathmandu. A common characteristic of Nepalis is the desire to spend the money they have earned abroad on bricks and cement in Kathmandu. But is it possible to limit the development of Nepal to Kathmandu? Nepalese should dream of making the barren fields of the village green. 

In today's era, Nepalis should not only go abroad, but should instill confidence that they can do something in their own country. This sad reality of foreign countries should prevent our future children from having foreign dreams. The real success of Nepali people will be if they can dream of making the village green, making the barren fields green and making the village a city.
