Who doesn't want to earn tons of money, eat delicious food and have fun! If you would reach again only by wishing, you wouldn't have to suffer! I am now 33 years old. My house is in Suddhodhan rural municipality-3 of Kapilvastu. I have been selling sugarcane juice by sitting in a padsari on the Butwal-Belhia road in Ruppandehi for four years to earn two to four paisa household expenses. Similarly, the family is running on retail and seasonal business.
I bring sugarcane and grind it in a machine to make juice . Now I sell a glass of juice for 30 rupees . Customers passing through this road go back and forth after drinking two/three glasses of juice in a day and handing over money. 90 glasses of juice are sold per day. I don't have time to speak for myself. After all, time will teach you to move. Income like
is expected. But seeing the earnings, the wife also doesn't say she wants this, she doesn't want that. It has become a habit to be satisfied with what we have. I even went abroad once to earn. After suffering there, I returned to my own country and started doing business according to the season.
can't rest now . In the morning, I bring a basket and stand on the side of the road . Sold sugarcane juice throughout the day and returned home in the evening. Now I bring a quintal of sugarcane for 1 thousand 500 rupees . It lasts for 2/3 days . I buy lemons from 1 kg to 5 feet a day . It costs 300 .
Birenun pau costs 40 rupees . Bringing 1 bundle of plastic glasses costs 120 rupees. Did not earn profit from business . Sometimes it is enough to remove the shadow, sometimes it is not enough . Son's school fee is 5000 per month. The higher the grade, the higher the fee. After enrolling in a new class, it costs 1000 only to sew the dress. 3,000 room rent per month.
I can't even go home due to the pressure of work . Children sometimes go . Business is stopped only on rainy days. Except summer, I carry a load of clothes on my back and sell them at the doorsteps of Palpa. Eating, staying, sometimes going back and forth until the palpa is sitting is equal to earning .
We have rented two rooms in Padsari. I, my wife and two children live in it . Parents are Kapilvastu . Bringing rice from home is a relief. We buy salt, oil, marmalade, green vegetables and eat them. I want to eat meat but money is not enough.
My desire is to buy a house in Rupandehi and build a house. But, it seems to be only a dream. I will work until I can, let's see what happens . The way I teach children . Let it be enough to eat two cups. The sugarcane machine keeps breaking down if it is run day after day. Making a machine costs 3,000 once. Had to buy diesel to run the motor all day .
I have many friends who help me when I am in need of money. I deal with them with respect. Earn again and pay Rin . Being poor is very painful. But who will show that pain? Parents cannot work . Even in such a situation, they are not able to stay at home and take care of their parents .
