Old age allowance is the only support for old people

What you should know

A lot of things were learned in the journey of seven decades of life. Let's not say that life has taught me more! When life is understood, it becomes easy to live. Tanahun's residence was in Rishing Rural Municipality-1 Geja. Now I have left Geza's house and come to live in Risching-1 Jhaputar. Mrs. Lalkumari is also my age. Now she is 70 years old. He and I have been staying in Jhaputar for 2 years by renting two rooms.

I have a son and a daughter . They are now on their own. There are also grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Although children are happy, now we are just old people .

There is not even a single thing in the house . Even if it happens, service cycle will not be possible. Farming also cannot be done . Even if we plant some vegetables, the land that is eaten by the flood has also become Nimas, now it has been piled up with stones and made a hollow. However, at this age, it is not possible to be active and do household chores . 

We have been sitting in a shop since our hands and feet could not move . Spending the whole day in the shop earns two to four rupees . It has become a way to pass the time and eat delicious food every now and then. The allowance given by the government to eat rice for the elderly is sufficient. 

Our allowance comes to Rs 24,000 every three months. We are trying to cover the household expenses with the same allowance money. There is no such income from the shop . That is - sometimes when the allowance comes late, it has been used to trick the elderly with a lot of money earned from the shop. 

Sometimes the income is 4/5 hundred rupees a day . If you could keep a shop in a small place, the income would have been better. But he is not old enough to do that. Earnings of the whole day bring what can be done in 4/5 days . That's right. We don't want to save the income from the shop. 

now to save for whom to save! Children are all in their own rhythm. Raised children with heavy burdens, now they are also working hard to raise their own children. Such is the way of the world, no one has any complaints. When we are sad and sick, sometimes our daughter looks after us, otherwise we are living like old people. 

We are staying here with two rooms . We pay 2 thousand rupees per month . A lot of expenses per month but no income . The only way to get money is the old age allowance provided by the government. It would be very difficult to live without this.

s sometimes happen to guests. Where there are old people, there are friends. Pada does not stop eating milk because the mother is thin . They come for meetings, they come for festivals, they keep spending . You don't have your own garden here, you can buy everything from vegetables to salt, bread, rice, marmalade, cooking gas. You have to pay about 500 rupees per month for water and electricity.

Even if there are only two old people, the expenses are high . Sometimes even allowance money is not enough . When you want to eat so deliciously, when you have guests, the income from the shop has also supported you . Other days are passing normally, but during the festival, it is difficult to meet expenses. 

No matter what you do, in the end, the old people will always support each other . Sometimes I feel sad when I see my life, but then I understand that this is the world.
