Ancestral house is Jaimini Municipality-8 Chhisti. But since it has been 50 years since he left the village, he no longer visits regularly. They go there only during Kulpuja. Now I am living in a two annas hut near Baglung market.

Son and daughter are separate in that too, I am separate. Baglung Municipality-1 My camp is on the side of the road from Rudre Peepal to Kalika Mandir.

Pati Bal Bahadur passed away in 2061. At that time, the youngest son Dil Bahadur was only nine years old. Even the elder son Om Bahadur had not grown up. I brought up my sons and daughters by sometimes crushing gravel, sometimes selling sand, and selling tea in the morning and evening. I married two sons and one daughter with the money I earned from selling tea. Since he had no real estate, he did not earn a living unless he did whatever work he could. I ran the household by eating half my stomach and sleeping half the night so that my children would starve.

For a long time I made a living by selling tea under a peepal tree near the gate of Baglung Kalika temple. The husband also used to work as a jamie but died due to heavy drinking. After that, all the responsibility came on my head. Married at the age of 15, I used to do whatever it took to support the family. At first I used to sell dry cups of tea. Later, it became one rupee, two rupees, and now the price of tea has reached 30 rupees.

I still make a living by selling tea and water near the Kalika temple. I keep three liters of milk in the morning, add more when it is not enough, sometimes it goes to waste. At present, the Ramrekha Community Forest Consumer Committee charges a monthly rent of Rs 700 for a one meter mobile shop. That's why I made a round with tea, water, noodles and scrambled eggs. Even after paying the rent, I do business up to 2500 rupees daily, from which I make a profit of about 1000 rupees. On Saturday, Chaitedsain and Vada Dasain days, up to 1500 rupees are earned daily.

I earn about 30 thousand rupees per month but I have a lot of debt due to heart disease. So still paying. Now there is a loan of 3 lakh rupees in the local cooperative society. 3,000 interest per month. There are 24,000 installments when paying principal and interest. So I am forced to work continuously. After paying the installments, I use the remaining 6-7 thousand for household expenses. I am thinking of eating on my own income until the day I can. If not, you may have to take shelter of your son.

The sons are separate. They drive and eat. So they have not had to extend their hand yet. But the younger son is also in debt. He asked, 'Mom, is there anything?' I think we should help if possible. If I can withdraw some money from the cooperative, I will give it to him, if his work is done, he will help me too.

It is difficult to wake up in the morning and open the shop in cold weather. Due to heart disease, cold is difficult. But I don't like to eat without earning anything. When I was old, I reared bangur, made and sold wine, and earned some money. But not everything can be done now. So I am just doing what I can.

Paying rent for a one-meter mobile shop is not enough. Occasionally, Kalika Guthi and Municipalities also collect taxes. I have paid up to 1000 rupees at the Chaitedsain Mela. Seeing my hard work, Kalika Guthi Management Committee Chairman Kumar Khadka said - you will not be charged. But Forest Consumer Committee is collecting monthly rent.
