Many call me a national talent. He respected my work. But what do they know about my inner pain? I have to pay for household expenses from my profession. I have been making a Nandi statue for a few months now. The construction of the statue to be placed in the Shiva Panchayana temple in Khungri has not been completed.

The money sent by the temple committee was used to buy the material needed for the statue. Then the money needed for painting did not come. I am thinking of painting that statue after I get the salary for the last job. Recently, I am making a half-length statue of Lahure . On the request of my son, I am making a statue of him serving in the Indian Army. 

I took 80,000 wages while making the statue of Nandi . I have asked for 45 thousand salary for Lahure . As soon as the work is finished, the wages are not enough, so the expenses are not enough. Now the price of idol making material has increased. Profit is less, sorrow is more. After the introduction of digital technology in the market, no one comes to write banners with colors on the cloth . So now I only make pictures .

, especially cover art, book cover pictures, logo making work is the main . There is no joy in my heart because it is difficult to get this job. I will charge 5000 for one picture . An order comes to make a picture in 6 months . Worked again, didn't get a lump sum . Sardar earns as much as 800 per month. I have set a fee of 5,000 for the face, 1,000 for the logo, and 1,500 for the cover image. Having a

home, you don't have to pay a lot of rent. However, pulses, rice and vegetables need to be spent! It is difficult to meet the expenses of electricity, water, salt, oil, dal, rice. 1000 per month for water, electricity and mobile recharge . 7/8 thousand is not enough to buy gas, salt, oil, rice, vegetables and pulses. Sometimes I like to eat fish and fruits . When I don't have money, I kill my desire .

My sister who lives with me is disabled. She has not been able to speak since birth. It is difficult to walk . But she can cook, wash clothes . I am happy about that. For some years now, she has been getting two thousand monthly social security allowance. Siblings depend on that money . I can starve when there is no money . But sister can't . She needs food .  In the year 2052, the government honored and awarded the National Talent Award for being in the field of

art. Sometimes Dang, sometimes Rolpa-Kathmandu, where the original certificate of National Talent Award was lost, it is not known. I only have a copy. 

I am now 54 years old. I was born in Rolpa headquarters Libang. Father was a teacher and mother a homemaker. Before coming to Rolpa, my father taught in Baglung, Pyuthan, Dang, Salyan and Acham. When he reached Achham, he got married with his mother. He was also married in Baglung! It is known that he has a brother and sister from his elder mother . It is known that Father Rolpa came for the last time in the year 2050 . After that he is out of contact . Mother passed away in 2061. After my mother's death, my wife also gave a leave of absence . My two sons also separated with their mother .
