I saw a movie in my childhood which was about a man's dream to see the London Tower with his own eyes before his death. Actually it was not his dream; it was his father's dream to watch London tower but his father couldn't fulfill that dream and transferred that dream to him. His father worked all life to collect money to visit London to watch the tower, but his savings were not enough for the fare, so he transferred his dream to the son and the son also the tailor as his father works his ass of throughout his life and have saved some money to go to London. When he feels he have collected enough money for the trip, someone steals that money. Well that was his dream, not the actual but determined. He tried to do every possible thing to collect money to visit London, that was his target and it was inspirational.

Just like that person's dream from that movie, London might be the dream place for lots of people around the globe, someone achieves it and some fails, which depends on luck and also the dedication towards goal achieving methodology. London is one of the historical places with lots of historical values and cultural root. Several English cultures were started from there, and still English culture and civilization is one of the world's best renown. The place of thousand dreams, London, has been serving as cosmopolitan city since several decades. Different people have different dreams about visit to London, some visit to see natural and cultural beauty, some visit to see the Kingdom who once almost ruled all the world, Someone wants to try their luck in musical or movie industry, someone visits to earn some money for the betterment of them and their family back home, etc, etc.

I also have a dream to visit London, at least once in my lifetime. I want to see the people very closely who inspired and ruled huge area of the globe, once it was said that the sun never sets down in British Kingdom and London happen to be the Capital of that British Kingdom. Although Manchester was the ancient capital of UK, London serves the most cultural values and English traditions. My dream about visiting London is to see the culture and tradition and the convincing nature of the English peoples. It was English people who inspired the world to speak their language, play football, have education policy, play cricket, listen Rock n' Roll, etc. I have been learning the English language since the age of 3, but have never been to the place where people speak only English. So, it’s my dream to be around with the people who speaks only English, the announcements in train, bus or plane would be only in English, someone may ask me or I may ask someone and the first language of our communication would be English, someone wouldn't say "I don't speak English" when I ask for something, that's my dream to be in the place where I could understand what other people say and they could understand what I say. I want to practice the language that I have been learning since so long with the founders of the language.

The another reason why I want to visit London is to see the monument made in honor of Gorkhali, I have seen it in the pictures that a Gurkha Holding Rifle in front of ministry of defense, I want to visit there and read carefully what Brits have written about my ancestors who served their nation for almost 200 years. I heard that it was a great honorary word for Gurkha, and I want to read it by myself and take a picture of me in front of that monument with my chest wide open with pride and my head sky high. Every people have dreams so do I, and this is one of my dream, my London Dream.
