Bazar Bharika affectionately calls me Ramu. It is a joy to hear it called like this. You get the courage to live by doing deeds. I am 47 years old. At the age of 10, he was seriously injured in a fall. My body has deteriorated due to lack of timely treatment. Because of my disability, I also had the opportunity to go to school and study.

Brother and brother have studied and are in their own business . I was useless. He started sitting on the side of the road with a weighing machine to lose weight. It has been 15 years since this work started. I have also been running a small pan shop for 10 years as the household expenses are not supported by this work alone . With this income, I have been able to support my wife and 6-year-old son.

After not being able to do a big business with shutter rent, he started a pan shop . For this too, in the beginning, I had to find a loan of 30 thousand rupees. Out of this, I spent 20,000 and made a wooden wheel . He started work by buying pan masala with the remaining money. 

In the beginning, I was running a pan shop near the old District Development Committee located in Baglung Municipality-2. My shop was destroyed while the municipality was widening the road . Street trading and  The municipality also banned the establishment of shops in order to inconvenience the passengers. After that, the way to eat was also stopped for some time . Where to go, what to do. And once he reached the municipality, he decided to end his suffering. The municipality has allowed the sale of vegetables and fruits produced by organic and local farmers only from 6 am to 9 am and after 5 pm.

As there is a traffic jam in the afternoon and it is difficult for those who go back and forth on the sidewalk, the road has been banned from trading. After seeing my request and physical condition, the municipality gave me a place to put a mobile shop without affecting the pedestrians . Now I don't even have to pay the rent.

If you sit inside a small shop and sell betel leaves and betel nuts all day, you earn 2,500 per day . I earn from 900 to 1000 daily by repaying the loan of the shop where I bought pan masala . In this way, even if you earn 25,000 per month, you can spend 20,000 on your household expenses. I celebrate the festival with the monthly savings of 5000. Once when he went to the health camp, the doctor told him that the treatment would cost 4/5 lakh. I didn't go for treatment because I didn't have it. Now the son has reached the age of reading. Buying copy books, education expenses are increasing . I am confused whether it will reach or not . But there is no other option.

Instead, I am planning to increase my income by working a little harder in this job. Now, the only concern is to earn a little and pay for the house expenses . If I earn a lot of money one day, my health will be checked . It will be easier if you do the operation of the crooked back . I don't know when I will be able to raise the money for that . But it is a shame to collect money and get treatment once. If it takes a lot of money, it will be limited to household expenses. I am thinking that I will have to go to the hospital on the day that the money that I am collecting in the cooperative for treatment will reach.
