There is no thought of earning much, building houses, castles and living happily. I have been able to eat, wear and teach my children normally. I enjoy this. There is a season of joy in Tamghas of Gulmi. I did not realize that 15 days have passed here.
There is grass in this playground. We enjoyed grazing the sheep here . Dang has a house in Garhwa Rural Municipality-2 Garhwa. Now I am 35 years old . There are parents, wife, children at home. I came to Gulmi as a helper to sell sheep for household expenses .
I am the shepherd of the sheep purchased and brought for sale by Alam Khan . I help him to sell sheep . It has been said that I will get paid at the rate of 1000 rupees per day for being a helper. This income is my Christmas expenses .
We don't celebrate Dasain. However, wearing new clothes, eating new food, and seeing other people will also happen. So at this time we also spend . I am coming here to pay for that expense. Father makes bread. From which the household expenses of the parents have been covered .
Mother does housework . Mrs. Sama Khan does housework . Children are studying in class 8 . I have supported their education expenses by working here and there and selling bread. When I work in Pauroti, I work for a daily wage of 1000 rupees. Who has reached to eat in the morning and evening, to teach children and to wear normal clothes .
We don't need that much in the kitchen. Normal lentils, rice and vegetables are enough. We also eat meat occasionally. There is no need to panic for that . There is a lot of expenses going back and forth from work. I am satisfied. So the expenses have reached . We have come with 25 sheep . 24 have been sold. Now there is only one left . We will be back when it sells out. During the festival, the neighborhood is full of fun . I came here for a little bit of money.
Live sheep are being sold for one thousand rupees per kg. For Dasain, it is like getting seasonal employment for us as we are required to offer offerings to the Math-Temple. As a result, some benefits have been achieved. My earnings are separate . It belongs to the creditor who comes and eats. Food is not that much spent here.
I started working in the bread industry from a young age . The work is still going on. Since there was no work there, I came here to earn. There are also benefits in business. We are people who work and eat. There is no expectation of such big earnings . If the salary is received on time from the place of work, it does not mean anything other than that .
I also wear normal clothes . But I don't feel anything . There is no shame. Earn by working honestly . Wear clean clothes as much as possible. That is also a difficult thing when walking like this . There is no such expectation. I work with honesty . This is my special religion. I will not cheat with anyone . That's why - until today, I have not had to starve without getting a job .
It seems that if everyone does their work honestly, there will be no problem . A person who is greedy may even go to commit theft. But if you do honest work and run normal household expenses from the wages you get, then you don't have to think about anything else . I never consider work too small . I will do whatever job I get. Sincerely do . This is my main point.
