I live in Kapilvastu Municipality-2, Chowk Bazar. I have been living in a room that I got while sharing. Bhai Bhola lives with his family in two rooms. Apart from that, there is no land.

Because I have to take care of my stomach, I do my own 'watch making' job. I don't know how to make all kinds of watches. I am only going to make quartz and casio watches. On top of that, there are very few people who come to make watches. Nowadays, everyone has a mobile phone in their hands. There is a clock in the mobile phone. That's why there are very few people who wear watches. 

I haven't even been able to use the skills I know . No matter how poor and destitute I am. Not able to change clothes. It is not possible to find a room for rent and shop somewhere . Be it the scorching heat of the Terai or the chilling cold, I sit under the open sky all day long waiting for customers . There is no overflowing space. Not a place to look for a daughter and live somewhere. 

I run a shop on the slab placed on the south drain of the road leading to Chowk Bazar under Bhikshu Chowk-Nyantol road section in Taulihwa . I put different identical packs on the ground. I live. At the front, I put bricks on two sides and put a wooden bar on it and make it a little higher and keep old clocks and repair tools . I put a carton on the east end and put five/seven new watch bands on it .

My possessions are only old watches, broken watches, steel chains and tools that fit in a cartoon . Total is 5/6 kg . I bring this cartoon to open the shop in the morning. I will return in the evening . It has been going on for seven years . 

Before that, I was also living with my family at Naugarh in Siddharthnagar district of India. Once there, I suddenly fainted and my mother-in-law told me to go home and stay. I returned to Taulihwa seven years ago .

I have a 20-year-old son, a 16-year-old daughter and a wife . All live in Maiti . I have had no contact for seven years . If my brother calls me, he will come once in a year or two. But I have no contact . Despite being a family, I have lived through a lot of suffering. It causes a lot of pain and stress.  It is very difficult to make a living making

watches . For 3/4 days in a month, not even a single rupee is earned. Other days earn from twenty/thirty rupees to two/three hundred . What is enough to buy and eat when you earn twenty/thirty rupees a day? I sleep on my stomach. There is no counting the days of sleeping hungry.

The most earned in a single day in life was 800 rupees . That day I found out - what is happiness in life. I don't remember earning that much since then . There is also a problem to eat without earning. Even if there are utensils at home, I don't cook rice without an oven . After the whole day's earnings, I eat bhuja, dalmot, chatpatte, tea, biscuits and fruits and spend the night and morning. If I want to eat rice, I buy biryani and eat it . If not, I will eat noodles and chowmein and stay awake in the evening. 

I wake up at 7 o'clock in the morning and reach the shop from my room. I will clean there . I will also make the adjacent road wide and make it shrill . This makes the locals happy. I sit in the shop at 9 am . I am in the shop till 6 pm in summer and till 5 pm in winter . 

It's been two years since I bought clothes. The shirt and pants are soiled with mud. I haven't had a chance to wash it for three to four weeks. Wash it and dry it. There are not many changing clothes. There is nothing to buy a new one . I am 42 years old now . Sorrows are also of the same kind. Even those who come to make a

clock have nothing to change . I have a total of 626 to 2032 number 18/20 small watch batteries and 12/15 watch bands. There will be a total of 7/8 hundred items. No capital to add . If there is money, the idea is to increase the business. 

I am poor. On top of that, customers also come in the same way . Another tension has been added now that seven/eight customers who came to make watches did not come to collect their watches. I have made and kept their watches. They don't come to take it. Even the one-two hundred capital is now stuck in it.
