I was born 45 years ago in Gourishankar tol, Gularia Municipality-6. Now Gulria-8, Sarjunadi tol is living in a squatter settlement. In the name of property, there is only a stick and a horse.

I have been making a living in Bardia for 20 years. I don't go to study because I don't get to go to school . After my father passed away when I was young, my mother raised me. As I am the eldest among 6 siblings, after growing up, the responsibility of supporting the household fell on my shoulders. 

When I was little, I thought I would grow up and earn a lot and live happily. That dream never came true. Maybe this is my luck. Earlier, since there were no cars in the district, Tanga was considered as an important vehicle. Now they don't want to sit on the ropes . Tanga runs on the road from Gulria to Murtiha in India for about 8 km.

Maybe it's another country - autos and cars don't run . I will charge one hundred for one person who has passed that distance . Travelers who travel to India for treatment, earning, visiting relatives are my passengers. 18 branches are affiliated to the branch management committee . Only one number is required in a day . Hardly 8/9 hundred is earned on the day of turn. One day, if there is no passenger, the stove will not be lit when returning home empty-handed. Everyone should sleep hungry. There is no body to express such pain .

400 worth of feed should be purchased a day for the horse . Husk, brand, wheat should be bought and fed. I cut the grass myself and bring it. 4,000 is spent every year to change the tires of the trunk. Changing the tube in 6 months costs 400 . If there is a puncture, it costs 100 to avoid. When other things break down, I repair them at home . Since there is no income, I have not been able to decorate the tree . Passengers don't want to sit because there are no umbrellas on the trunk . When there was no other way, I made an umbrella by using an old tripal.

Even though the son has reached 13 years old, he has not been able to teach . Dropped out after studying up to 6th standard . Maybe seeing my situation and suffering, he didn't want to read . Now the son has borrowed a horse worth 6000 and a buggy worth 10000 Indian rupees to pay for Barkha. It carries the bricks to the kiln . After carrying 1000 bricks, you get 300 .

The son is earning 5/6 hundred a day and is helping in household expenses . After the onset of rains, the furnace work is stopped . 16,000 loan of horse and buggy can be paid till the rainy season.

After not being able to pay the household expenses by hooking, we collected and sold the bottles that were thrown away by father and son in the village and in the market. What to do, some measures had to be taken to feed the stomach. If the money ran out, there was a desire to raise the children by selling the old car and driving the old car. There are seven people in the house .

I lost my wife two years ago due to lack of finances. He had to lose his wife suffering from cancer because he could not get treatment. At that time, there was no help from anywhere except calling on God .
