One fine day at Brighton

Though it was april, the cold weather of UK was unbearable while we took off our journey to Brighton from London. Directions were unknown, when we reached London bridge station, we asked the station man and he showed the Brighton train. We quickly paid the money and ran towards the train. Train riding is always so smooth in all over London and I always love the ride. Somewhere I read, the development index of any country is the infrastructure of the road. So is the London.

Brighton Pier

The 45 min of ride is completely comfortable and warm. The view outside, gives images of country side of UK and that indulges one to think the country life of UK. I have heard rich people of UK lives in country and involved in agriculture. So contrast to Nepali life. Nepali people are struggling still in agriculture.

We reach Brighton, still we don’t know the direction but the town map is right on the exit of the station. We read and head towards the beach. Brighton beach is one of the most popular beach in the world. People from all over the world and UK visit it every summer and every day.

For me, beach should have sand but this is not the case with most of the beaches of UK. Instead of sand, there are peebles and hurts bare foot which I didn’t like it. And the water is too cold. I wondered, how people bear the so cold water. May be due to adaptation.

People enjoying the beach


The interesting thing of Brighton beach is there is a large pier which is called as Brighton pier. There is a fun park in this pier. Children enjoy and play most of the games there, so may be some parents are dragged there by their children for this particular purpose.

Jiri: Switzerland of Nepal

The winding road to jiri reaches to a hill, from where the view of jiri valley looks magnificent. Jiri in not a new name for Nepali travel enthusiast. Generally, it is considered as a Switzerland of Nepal. First reason, geographical structure and secondly, swiss maintained,loved and carved jiri for many years. They have established jiri technical shool for vocational training, cheese factory for manufacturing cheese and have introduced improved breed of cow in village. The unfertile plain beautiful valley is only used for grazing cows. Sometimes, I think ugly/un useful turns out to be beautiful. And jiri is the example. The unproductive is now a place that attracts visitors.

The river flows through the grassy valley where the imported jersey cows from Switzerland are grazed. It feels like one can spend hours without thinking anything in this beautiful valley. This village once was a hub of entry point of Mount Everest.

Children are enjoying the natural playground. In contrast, I doubt about the quality of education they are getting there. Many children are deprived of quality education in the villages of Nepal and they are one of them.
