Big desires and wishes never awakened. Being satisfied with what is good seems to be the joy of living.
What you should know
From a young age, I grew up doing whatever work I could. The destination of work was not the same. So it took a long time to find a job. Once, while working in Butwal, I met Sumitra from Gorkha by chance. After gossiping at the meeting, love blossomed. And married her and brought her into the house in Tilottama. At that time, the room rent was 100.
Our life journey is flowing with time . Sometimes, sometimes time is passing. I work in house construction. In this way, while helping at work, I have also learned the work of a mason. Now the daily wage is 800 rupees. I have raised a family by doing that.
Since I started working, I have put mud in many people's homes . But I could not build my house. The wife used to go to other people's houses and do the work of sweeping and washing clothes . But it's been a few months, she has an allergy and has not been able to work. According to the doctor, he also has diabetes. The doctor has given medicine for the whole month . More than 5 thousand was spent on that. There is no way to come except for
24 thousand monthly . If you are sick and don't show up, the same thing will happen . Even when the wife was working, the money was coming at the same rate . But his treatment has cost a lot.
Now I am 45 years old . I was born in Tilottama Municipality-7. Friends went to school. I grew up playing. However, I started working from the time I got the love of my parents . So the big desire and desire never wake up . Being satisfied with what is good seems to be the joy of living.
I don't even remember how many classes I studied. Among my three children, the eldest daughter lives in Kathmandu. We have placed him in someone else's house on the condition that we can teach him properly. She is well read. Now she is studying in class 10. Milo's son studies in 7 . Younger daughter studies in 6 . As
is a public school, the expenses have not been so much. Now it will take place after the class increases . I have darkened 3 wooden fields . From that rice has reached Khana. 6,000 should be paid to the creditor for farming as well. The room rent is 3000 and the cost of electricity and water is 900. The cost will be as much as it was spent. I am living my life on a tight budget.
Children are not told what they want to eat or what they want to wear. But facilities cannot be delivered day by day, week by week or month by month. They say to buy clothes and shoes during the festival, we use it only on the day of the festival and save it for the next time . If you have to buy it, you buy it, if not, you wash it, hang it and wear it again .
People say that the festival has come to eat something special, but to me, the evergreen is the same . When you have money, you eat meat and fish, otherwise you get hungry, I don't know if that is special. How many festivals were spent without spending, without money. Money is needed . It seems that the more importance you give to money, the more important it is.
It's not easy to spend a month on the money I've earned. However, my condition has taught me that it should lead to that, so it has been done so far . If I had money, I think I would keep a bank balance . I used to take a loan from the same bank and build a house. The money would be taken out and spent as it came. I don't have the habit of living by making myself very disappointed, but I am very worried about what the condition of the family would be without me. Some time ago, I had a chest pain and got checked . Asthma. He is now cured by medication. As long as I have the courage to work, I will take care of it, but what about the day when I can't, this is what hurts.
What I have seen and experienced in life - money will reach those who have money. Those who don't have it will feel cheated. I didn't even have citizenship. Parents already passed away. It's been 3 months, I made citizenship through my grandfather. He has no land, no house, he is looking for a room for rent and working. Now we are staying in 2 rooms . He was afraid of snakes throughout the rain. The snake came out even in the evening, it seems that it is impossible to stay here now . It is difficult to find another place, if the job is not found accordingly. But there is no alternative.
For those who don't have money, similar compulsions occur. If I live for 10 years now, I want to earn some money and keep it for my children and wife. . Children also grow . They will do something. He has not had to starve to this age. I don't have to go to the door of others to beg. That's what made me happy.
