I have had asthma for a long time. It is difficult for me to walk much. I am dragging my body as much as possible. My eyesight is not good. Now I am old. I have a house to live in, although it is old. The house is weak because it has been shaken by the earthquake and aftershocks.

Even if you build a mud house, you don't have to be afraid. There are two looms and a few pieces of cloth in your name. People from the village keep coming to sew clothes. You earn a little money by sewing those clothes. On top of that, you get a lot of allowance.

My house is in Jalvire Purona Bazaar, Balefi Rural Municipality. I am now approaching 81 years old. I learned to cut and sew clothes from my parents by using looms. I also learned sewing and weaving. And this has become my livelihood. I haven't been able to leave it till now. But, I don't have the same energy and enthusiasm as before. Since it is an ancestral profession, I didn't know anything other than sewing. For us, who grew up amidst financial hardship, education was a distant thing at that time. Earlier, we had to endure a lot of hardship. We had to wait until Dashain to eat rice. And then studying became a separate issue. Now it's not like that.

At that time, my brothers and sisters were oppressing me. It hurts when I remember that. My son and daughter-in-law are farmers. Their earnings are not good either. Sometimes I wonder how long I will survive on their earnings. I feel like I could have worked well enough to live. But, my luck is that I can't walk much due to asthma and my body. I can't even tolerate the cold. It's difficult, what should I do? Even in this house, the cold makes it like a freezing cold center. I sew a pair of coats, dauras and sarongs a week.

I earn four to five hundred a day for sewing clothes. And in addition to that, I am also receiving social security allowance. As an asthmatic, I have to take regular medicine. I spend 2/3 thousand rupees on medicine in three months. I also have to pay the electricity and water bills. I am worried about what I will do if I get a bigger disease. I am not in a situation where I cannot eat, but I am not happy either. I spend about 4 thousand rupees on ration water every month.

I also have the same mind as everyone else. I like to go to a hospital in Kathmandu and get my health checked regularly. It is time to do pilgrimages and fasts according to my age. All these things cost money. It is not possible to do it just by dreaming. It is not possible to see it, it is necessary to write it. The elections for the House of Representatives are currently underway. Many leaders come to my house to ask for votes. I am surprised to see their faces. It seems that all the leaders are just fools, they say they will do this or that. And after winning, you cannot see their faces. Who should you tell your own sorrows to? . Whoever looks after poor teachers like us, we will vote for them.
