I went out after sitting at home and not having enough to eat. So I am a traveler in search of livelihood. My home is Nepalgunj. However, staying at home for a long time is during childhood.

As a child, he was not aware of the shortage. It was time to eat and play when the parents were busy. For the last few years, I have been living outside the house a lot . Rupandehi and Kapilvastu are my main business centers. I have been selling pulses in two districts for 7 years. I am avoiding suffering by selling dal . No one complains about two days of life. 

But, I regret not being able to read it . Studied only upto 5th standard . Friends also did not pay attention to reading . In the same excitement, I also did not pay attention to study . The result of not studying then is now having to work hard . Perhaps because there is no atmosphere for reading - no one in the village encouraged them to read. Being the eldest son, the wish of the parents was that he would earn fast. They also emphasized on teaching work that can be earned. There are two younger brothers at home. Got married at the age of 15. Now I have four children. 

If you don't work, your family will starve. There is no other earner in the family . Parents have become old . Earlier, I used to buy rice from the village and pound it and sell it. Later, as I understood the market, I came to Rupandehi as I realized that it is possible to sell from village to town. Now I have rented a room in Butwal. Friends are also . Monthly rent is 3 thousand 500. Apart from that, there are expenses. I drink a cup of tea worth 25 rupees every morning. I have 2 meals at the hotel in the afternoon and at night. It costs 180 rupees once. 15 days earning will go home . I bring dal from Banke . Once they go home, they carry around 10,000. 

You have to study to earn money, otherwise you have to go abroad . I also tried to go to Malaysia 2 times . Fill the application for Dubai three times . However, after not being successful, I thought that I was not destined to go abroad. In my luck, it was written to sell this dal . It is also sad to do business. If they see the employees of the municipality and the shop, they scold them . What have I messed up and should I be scolded for selling pulses?

A kilo of pulses is sold with a profit of 15 rupees. Once I load 50 kg on a bicycle and ride. After it is sold, it will be returned to the Dera . There is an old bicycle . It costs at least 1/2 thousand if it breaks down once. I brought the bicycle from home, I will take it when I go. 

is a heart-felt desire. All desires are not fulfilled by my love . Nepalgunj also has a family in the village so it doesn't cost as much as the city. Money is also needed to teach the parents, to buy all the things at home . No matter how much goes on, it is not enough. Life is certainly not easy. But it would not have been accepted! When you ride a bicycle all day long, you have to walk in the sun. Getting sick, not selling pulses, not earning money, stress in many places makes the heart burn. What is the remedy?

Do this business, if you don't, how will you support your family? The condition of the friend who came along is also similar to mine, it is satisfying to see. Does anyone stop fear and anxiety? It is said that I will not let you sell, but someone has worked and eaten, and when you tell me not to be afraid, I will move forward boldly . I have not committed a crime, the customer buys if he wants to buy, otherwise the dal remains . It is not forced either . I wish they wouldn't have stopped us from selling like this, they wouldn't have pushed us, that's all I want.
