Every year many Mahajans come to hear our pain in Dombasti of Vrindavan-7. Since I was born, I could not study even one class because I was worried about eating. When I was young, my parents passed away in 2065, so there were no parents to teach me. It's been 25 years, but the worry of rural life has not gone away.
How to live with a hungry stomach, you have to live a happy and sad life. That's why since waking up, I've been ringing my mobile to see if someone will call me . With that, my daily life begins when I start preparing bamboo sticks. As the wedding season is about to start in Madhesh, it is also the time to earn money. I have been paying attention to the mobile phone because there are orders for some kind of bamboo products. It has been 7 years since I started making bamboo products for my household.
Bamboo dala, daura, petari, changeli and bena (hand fan) are required during weddings in Madhesh, so there is a lot of demand for them. A piece of bamboo needed to make goods costs 350 rupees. After taking out the choya for about an hour, you can make the dala. I prepare up to two dalas from one bamboo at the rate of one in two days .
After preparing dala of different sizes, I apply red, yellow and green colors . They happily give 1000 for one dala. 450 should be invested in bamboo and paint. They give Rs 150 for Daura, Rs 200 for Petari, Rs 100 for Changeli and Rs 50 for Bena (hand fan). Since it is not always sold, I prepare it only when someone orders it.
is not enough to make you eat. I go to the village to weave tati on the day when the work order does not come. Mahajan pays 500 wages for weaving tatti all day long. It has enough money to buy one kg of rice and one foot of dal for morning-evening . On the days when I have no money, I ask my neighbor to buy rice for one or two hundred sapti and the next day I earn and pay. In this calculation, we need to buy 5,000 rice and 2,500 pulses and vegetables in a month. A thousand is spent on oil and spices . An additional 1000 rupees is spent on children's clothes and khatrak-khutruk. 10 to 12 thousand household expenses per month.
He has not been able to repay the 45,000 rin taken from his in-laws three years ago to meet household needs . It seems that the father-in-law kept silent as a son-in-law even though he gave the money collected by selling the pig. All around my hut is broken . He is having to spend a difficult night wearing a torn burqa inside. The family consists of wife Maina Devi, 7-year-old son Pawan, 5-year-old Kaz and 2-year-old daughter Anu . Even though I didn't get the opportunity, I decided to get my son to get higher education and enrolled him in a class in a government school.
The dream of sleeping in a concrete house repeats again and again . I don't know when God will turn my dreams into commercials. There are only two clothes by wife and myself. We have not been able to buy new clothes for four years . Mrs. Maina has no job other than helping to make bamboo materials . As the children are young, she cannot go outside to work.
Since we don't have a numbered land in our name, we raised pigs instead of farming . Apart from that, our caste also do toilet, sewage, street cleaning and garbage collection. Two/four paise is earned by doing similar work during free time . My I spend day and night wondering if I will be able to eat well, sleep well and sleep safely with my small earnings . To get rid of such anxiety, sometimes I drink alcohol and take a nap.
