I am a street cleaner. Road cleaning means maintenance and repair. Currently, I am doing maintenance and cleaning of the 6 km road from Pipalneta to Thedhadhanga under the Madhyapahari Lokmarg at the district headquarters in Rukum West.

There are two of us . We have camped here. One person's portion is 3 km of road . But two people work together because it is difficult to work alone . When garbage accumulates in the drains, it is our responsibility to dispose of the garbage and keep the roads clean. 

The streets of the market area are more dirty than other sections. Therefore, it is difficult to work . We don't have hand gloves and masks. We are doing whatever we can as it is our job . So is . 

I am now 46 years old . My house is Rukum West, Athaviskot Municipality Ward No. 2 falls into the bay .  My monthly salary comes to 24 thousand rupees. That's why he has to raise a family with him. I have 3 daughters and one son . The eldest daughter got married. Out of the remaining three, two are studying in Kathmandu and one in the village. I am fed up with their expense management. 

Children in Kathmandu should be sent exactly 10,000 rupees per month . Out of the rest, I send the same 5,000 per month to my wife. It costs 5,000 for me to eat here . The remaining 3-4 thousand have to fulfill their needs for medicinal roots, clothes and other needs. 

desire is not my special . However, sometimes the mind of eating tea-breakfast, wearing new clothes  It seems, but to fulfill these wishes, you have to think for months. It is difficult to live with the income that comes from working all day long. But now it's a habit. Because it has been a long time since this happened . 

I lived and worked in Saudi Arabia for 6 years. After coming back, I worked on road construction towards Salyan for a few years . For the next few years, I went to Sindhupalchok to work on the street. And it's been two years since he got appointed from the road department and started working like this . Now the salary comes after the end of the month. The day that comes, the mind is upset. But you can't get that salary in your pass even for 24 hours . The second day comes back to the same situation. 

Looking at this income, it seems that my income will be enough to raise chickens. But elephants have to be reared here . What to say, to whom! I tell myself about my joys and sorrows with one mind, and with the other mind, I say, ``Don't be sad''. I understand . 

During Dashain, we don't have holidays except for four days. Other times, when there is an emergency, you can entrust your part of the work to a friend and go home to watch over him. The last time I sang at home was on Chaite Dashain. Then there is no more.  Let's not talk about

expenses. If the income is not sufficient, the loan should be taken. I wonder when that loan will be paid. It is hoped that the children will earn and pay. Not even a bad debt. It is for them, they will pay for it!

half the age has also fallen . It has been years since Jahan left his children and went looking for work. If there is God's grace, I want to live with my family. But when will it be completed? Earning is like that, no matter how much a person has, it is not enough. You should be able to take satisfaction, you feel it when you eat, you feel sleepy when you sleep. Thinking like this, I try to explain my mind as much as possible .
