Nepal India and my outlook by Uruj Shahid 📄

-
One such country is Nepal, which we residents of India most easily visit. I have been going to Nepal since the last decade of the 80s ,It can be said that when I was a seven-year-old boy, I used to go to this neighboring country and bring video games, toys, cosmetic accessories from there. The shops we used to buy goods made from countries like China, Spain and Japan were usually of people of Indian origin. That period was a monarchy in Nepal and at that time the border post of India and Nepal was not as tight as it is now. You may not believe it now, but we would then go from India to Nepal border and go through the Nepalese town from Rickshaw without any problem.Now that the monarchy has come to a sad end in Nepal and democracy has come into existence, now on entering Nepal, we have to complete a paper check which is called ”Bhansar" in the language there. 
Still, Indian Army is seen peeping more into our vehicles than Nepal Army.
When we have to enter Nepal, first we have to enter our information in the border post of India, then we are able to enter Nepal. Because we enter Nepal with our private vehicle, it is a necessary process to be done in both the countries, which has to be completed in any case. When I went to Nepal last time from Nepalganj border which is in Bahraich district of Uttar Pradesh, we had to take permission from the office of Nepal Road Transport Department there to go further from Nepalganj town . 
But this process did not look very complicated in Nepal, so it all happens very easily and Nepali people also treat people of India well. By the way, because Nepal is on the border of India, we do not have the problem of language, usually people speak in our Hindi language easily but when we enter Nepal a little inside , then people are seen talking in Nepali language.  Which causes problems for us Indian people.
I remember when I asked a Nepali on the way ahead of Nepalganj, he talked us something in his Nepali language and we could not understand it because the people of Nepal understand our Hindi language easily and we Indian people have little knowledge of their language . 
And the problem that came up in Nepal is that alcohol is a very common drink that appears in a small shop, even in the tea shop, the bottles of liquor are seen and it is uncomfortable for the people of India.  It happens because in India liquor is found only at the allotted shop of liquor. 
In my view, we do not go only to purchase exotic goods there but the mountains and the dense forests in Nepal pull us towards them.
We have had a friendly relationship with Nepal for centuries, rather we can say that India has created many things in Nepal that strengthen the friendly relations of India Nepal. 
But when we see the situation today, it hurts that such an old friend of ours Nepal is behaving like a resentment .
The gap between India and Nepal is a problem for the Indian residents as we residents of India go to Nepal and at least fulfill their desire to go abroad, even many women of Nepal has succeeded in making a mark of her good actress by entering Indian cinema . 
Our current Prime Minister gave more priority to Nepal but today our strong relations with Nepal are telling a different story as Nepal is keeping distance from its old friend India by under the misleading of China .
Nepal border dispute between India and Nepal government's accusation that people were entered in Nepal without a corona investigation. Many more charges are being leveled against India by Nepal which is causing problems between the two countries.
People of Nepal come to India often for the purpose of business in India and together people of Nepal feel free to come to India to get good education and good medical services and very easily take advantage of transport service here. 
Due to this anger, the people of Nepal are facing more problems than India and friendly relations between the two countries are suddenly getting worse, which is not a step in the right direction. Both the countries need to correct their friendly relations again so that the air of love flows between the two countries, which can give relief to all our citizens, be it Nepal or India.

Our Journey - Meter Gauge Railway

The journey of Meter gauge train used to be a world in itself. From late 80s to mid 90s when I had traveled the trains were operated with steam locomotive, then later from 1995 the train was began to operated with Ydm4 diesel locomotive  .Then two to three pairs of passenger trains and three pairs of express trains would pass through our lakhimpur railway staition which came from Bareilly, Palia and Mailani junction and reached Lucknow via Sitapur. I usually used to travel from Lakhimpur to Lucknow and return from Lucknow to Lakhimpur and it took about four hours to complete this journey as trains were often crossed due to single meter gauge railway line, which made trains had to stay at the station lying between this route . And as a crossed train passed through the station, the token is then given to the other train's loco pilot standing there and it used to move towards its destination . Between the train journey of Lucknow and Lakhimpur, it was necessary to stop every train at

My Life Story 🚵 - Part 3

In the late 80s, when I was ten years old, the birds I saw around my house I was always be curious to see them and that's how I became fond of it and established myself as a birdwatcher .   The area where I had spent my childhood was filled with a lot of species of birds and probably because of the greenery of the trees, the birds loved this area very much .  It was my pleasure to be so close to the birds but at that time it was a challenge for me to identify birds by name . But wherever there is a will, there is a way and it happened that as my hobby grew, things got easier , I remember how I got some books on birds from a library in the city and I started identifying some common birds by name. Those days I didn't need binoculars because I could see birds very close and sometimes I even took some birds in my hands but once a small bird died of suffocation in my hands, which made me very sad and this is the first time I'm telling you .  You might be surprised th

The place which I like the most and never forgotten by my mind was indeed  my birth place where I had spent almost twenty years from the Childhood to the young age and those memories always hanging around me and I have decided to filled all these remembering into the treasure of words through my blog . In my earlier blog I have been already told that the Forest colony in the Lakhimpur district of Uttar Pradesh was the place to where I gathered all the wonderful memories Since the early 1980s to the later 1999s . In fact the forest colony was the platform from where on those days I had learned how to live in the lap of nature and also how to delivered the reaction when the wild animals were very closer . It was almost the dusk time and in front of my quarter house there was a temple nearby the forest nursery where for the first time I had astounded because what I saw there was never saw before .
