TOPICS: My dream

I was very excited travelling back home through Mugling after ten years as the road I was travelling in was good and safe.

I had spent ten years working hard in a Gulf country for myself and family. I recalled the time when the road was so pathetic that all the passengers had to travel with apprehension. I was also happy to see my village well developed. There were all basic facilities such as water, road, hospital, park, school, sanitation, communication, transportation etc.

People were much more aware socially as well as politically and no superstitious practices were prevalent. People did not have to kick the bucket due to lack of basic health facilities such as hospitals, medicines, and doctors.

Similarly, I found a lot of people leading happy lives as they were provided job opportunities in their own village as some factories and business activities were flourishing there. I also got the chance to travel to the far western part of the country by train within a short span of time and returned after visiting some worth visiting places.

Likewise, no more girls or women were trafficked to other countries to work in brothels. Moreover, they were well treated and respected by the people in their village or around.

In the same way, I noticed no children spending time in the streets deprived of education.

Furthermore, no people were involved in crimes, such as theft, robbery, murder, or any kind of embezzlement as the security system was tight and the mechanism of the government for corruption control was active and functioning well.

People were able to get justice from the courts and prompt service from the government offices. People were able to live in clean environments as there was good management for garbage collection and disposal at a fixed site. Also, people did not have to walk long as there was good transportation, and most families had their own vehicles.

People were able to live a dignified life with full social security and harmony.

I was amazed with the utopia. I wondered how quickly my village changed its shape and looks to perfection, and I began to realize not to leave my village in order to be a third grade citizen in a foreign land.

Suddenly, my better half woke me up, asking what time it was, as she had to check whether KUKL had supplied water. The time was 2 a.m. I reprimanded her for disturbing, obviously not my sleep, but my beautiful dream suddenly shattered by her call.
