I was born in Changli, Gorkha Municipality-7 and settled there. My workplace is Bandipur-1, Dumrebazar, Tanahun. I am now making a living by selling bananas to the passengers of vehicles passing through the Prithviraj highway.

After seeing the organic bananas brought from Changli in Gorkha, travelers also buy . However, for 2-4 paise, I have been selling bananas for 30 years running behind a car. 

I am now 64 years old. Her husband's treatment expenses will not be met unless he runs the handcart himself . Due to the cost of medicines, the desire to eat sweets should also be killed. I am struggling to get the food I want and my husband's medical expenses regardless of dust. 

Husband Uday Kumal is 53 years old. Although younger than me, the disease caught him 12/13 years ago . Due to kidney stones, three operations were done. A kidney also had to be thrown away . More than 4 lakh rupees have been spent three times. Still 3/4 thousand a month is spent on regular check-ups and medicines. 15,000 was spent during the last Shivratri test.

Our 2 sons and 2 daughters were born. Although the eldest son and daughter were married, grandchildren were born. The younger son drives a tipper . The younger daughter is studying and teaching at CTEVT. I taught my children by doing agricultural work and selling the fruits I grew in the market. They stand on their own feet .  If there is a

, the eldest son has gone abroad. The younger son and daughter also earn a little. Apart from helping sometimes, their earnings are good for them . The old man had to eat something whenever he wanted. At the time of eating, the worry about how to raise the car rental and medicine expenses to take the husband to the hospital will start. It is not easy to ask children for expenses every time. There is a big difference between spending with yourself and asking. That's why I'm working without the dust of the road and the sun. 

It is not possible to come and chase the car on the same day. Other times I come one/two days a week . I come to Besi during the festival . Once you come, you have to pay Rs 30 per day for 200 car rental, banana rental and doing business in the market area. It is fine when there is income, but when there is no income, from where should we pay this money?

When I bring, I bring 100 kilos of bananas for one and a half hundred rupees . If there are large items for sale, I will sell 15/18 items for one hundred rupees, and small items for 20/22 items for one hundred rupees . There is a business of 1000 to 1200 per day. I have paid for the house with that money. Bananas are sold a little more in summer than in winter. With this income, I have saved the expenses of the festival and the medicine of my husband. 

So far she has not been able to save a single penny. Sometimes 5/10 thousand is taken out from the group to run the house . Paying the interest of the same is fine . It would have been possible to deposit a hundred/hundred rupees a day from selling bananas, but I don't have a bank account. There is a 2-room house in the name of the husband. Another 2-room house has been built by the earthquake. We are a family of 8 living in these 2 houses . Ancestral land is . We have planted greens, vegetables and some fruits on some land. 

If you don't eat delicious food, don't dress well, the neighbors are also looking at you . Until today, two meals have not been stopped, it seems that the food would have been fine even in the days to come. Now the price of all the goods has increased . Rice, lentils, oil, salt, spices should be bought from the market. All the 3 grandchildren of the eldest son go to study . As soon as you leave home, you need money. Education expenses, food, clothing, medicine, etc., are expensive. I am suffering even in my old age for the purpose of making the family's morning-evening noise easy.
