I live in Nyakgaon of Chumanubri Rural Municipality-3 Sirdiwas. This is the lake of Gorkha. I was born here and grew up in misery. There was no school in Lake to study. His father raised sheep for a living. Since childhood, I used to visit the sheep shed. He got married at the age of 16/17. After getting married, the behavior changed. And I also started tending sheep. It's been 40 years now. I am running after the sheep.

Now I am 60 years old. So far, no employment has been done except as a shepherd. Farming did not happen. Running after the sheep from a young age - I have become accustomed to walking in the forest, living in the forest . Now I have 70 sheep . The day passes by taking care of the lambs doing lakebasi . Sometimes I reach the east and sometimes the west . No residential address. We deliver sheep to four/five kharks in Sirdiwas area. It takes 5/6 days to walk to the lake. Carrying rice, millet flour, and all that is left behind, the lamb is trampled. 

A fire broke out in the forest, and settled there . When the sheep get grass, they have to stay in one place for two weeks. You can't stay in one place for a day or even a night. There are also 5/6 cows . I have taken the sheep to graze not only in the village, but also to Lamjung. Earlier, 15/16 people of this village had a sheepfold. Others gave up sheep rearing due to grief. Four of us, including me, still make a living by rearing sheep. It is very sad to raise sheep . Had to caress, the bush grows, had to be cut . Get sick, have to see .

How many lambs die of whatever disease they have. Thus, when a sheep that has grown up in its own arms dies, it feels very sad. Unfortunately, I don't want to leave this work even because the sheep has died . I raised three sons and two daughters with this sheep. I couldn't teach my eldest son when he was made to take care of the sheep. I am teaching two sons. Salt, oil, rice are all bought with the money sold by this sheep. Even if someone does it, it will cost 10/15 thousand a month. 

There is no rice cultivation in our village. Everything from rice is bought . Millet, corn crops. One/two sacks of rice per month will be bought . Expenditure is in food . If I walk in the forest, I will walk as if I did not wear it.

A bull can be sold for 25/26 thousand. Looking at the small and the big is the price. Some should be sold for 12/13 thousand. If you can sell one sheep in a month, the thunder of the house will be reduced . Even if many have stopped keeping, selling sheep is not that much of a problem . Sometimes customers arrive at the lake. The money from the sale of this sheep has reached to educate the sons, to buy a single dress for the festival . There is no such great disease in the body. The injury caused while walking can be cured by the herbs of the village. Sorrow is like walking in the forest. This forest, this lake seems lovely because of habit. 

Wife is also getting old . Sons are studying . Now there is no one who will give me a turn to watch the sheep . It is a problem to come and stay at home for one night. During the rainy season, it is possible to stay at home when the sheep are being grazed near the village . Other times, I mix it with my friend's sheep in the village and sometimes I reach home one night . When the wife runs out of expenses, she looks for a farmer and sends rice, salt, oil to the barn by paying wages. Otherwise, if someone in the house has free time, they will bring it . Having lived in the forest for 40 years, my heart is happy in the forest.
