Our ancestral residence is in Chandannath municipality-2, Bhandaribada village. However, now I am making a living by running a tea shop near Chandannath-5, Sherajiulo.

now  I am 64 years old. I raised three sons and three daughters by selling this tea. Life flew away with the smoke of tea . Now in the village it is known as 'Bhandari Ba' tea shop. There is no dearth of customers in the tea shop as there is delicious and cheap tea.   

Life has never been more exciting. Lived my life by herding cattle and farming from a young age. At that time there were no schools in the village. However, I have been able to read and write until I was twelve years old. I am Mahilo among four brothers . Due to poverty, reading and writing were far away. It would have been difficult to eat one bite. Looking at the initial situation, running a tea shop in Khalanga market would have been a far-fetched matter. 

I got a job in Nepal Police in 2029 at the age of 15. At that time, I became a police officer after reaching 18 years of age. When I got a job in the police, I got rid of cattle herders. While in the police force, I spent my working life in Surkhet, Nepalgunj and Bardia from five districts of Karnali namely Humla, Jumla, Mugu, Dolpa, Kalikot and Dolpa. At that time, as soon as the army was called, the village had a distinct image.  

I couldn't last long in police service . I quit my job in 2041 . Satisfied that the police work will not remain in luck . Friends with me now understand pension . I am making a living by making teapots. 

was married in the year 2030 . Living alone was not much of a problem . But the responsibility increased after marriage. At the beginning of the job, the salary was 90 rupees per month . There were no markets. There were no goods to buy. It was eaten by farming . 90 rupees would have been saved. When leaving the job, the salary was 450 rupees . It was so much rupees to support the family . There was no value of money in the village. It was a custom to exchange goods. 

As soon as he left the police job, he built an apple orchard from 2042. There were more than a hundred plants in the garden. I am earning from 50 thousand to 1 lakh rupees annually. Traders came to the village. Due to the lack of transportation facilities, apples had to be given to the cattle in the garden. The pain still stings. Now the traders have reached the village to take them away. 

Although I quit my job, there were many ups and downs in my life . I did a tea shop at 6 places in the headquarters of Khalanga. For three years, I used to sell tea and return home. I have been in the same place for 19 years now. 60 mana of milk is consumed daily. Customers also keep coming to the tea house because they keep the milk of the local breed of cattle. I buy milk worth three thousand rupees daily. I sell more than 420 glasses of tea. 8 thousand 400 rupees are earned daily by selling tea. 5 thousand 400 rupees are saved daily. Sometimes the monthly income is up to 1 lakh 62 thousand rupees. Grandchildren have been born now. The number of families has increased to 10. I have taught Anami to my younger daughter. Now Karnali Mavi is a temporary teacher in Anamnagar. Sons are in farming . 

I am supporting such a large family with the amount of tea sold. The wedding expenses of all the children also came from here. So far I have had 6 marriages . All the tea is sold. According to my data, 30 lakh rupees have been spent on marriage alone. I thought of teaching all the children. Didn't agree to read . The price of tea keeps falling in the market . But since inception my shop has had the same price . 20 rupees per glass only . I also charge 20 rupees for a glass of milk . I am supported by my wife . 

I could not sell the land but I did not make any children sad.  Now I have only 5000 krin . I have been receiving Social Security benefits since I turned 60. 16,000 rupees will be paid by husband and wife in four months . Now my friends also come to have tea in my house . They are amazed by our work .
