Many months have passed since he was living in the Himalaya Vriddha Ashram (Old Age Home) at Gogambu. Two years ago, after her husband changed her clothes, she is more alone. They had two sons. Krishnamaya Bhandari (65) of Sindhupalchok, who was losing her husband, had high hopes for sons.

The brothers had also set a condition that they would look after their mother in turn. "But both sons started drinking and swearing every day." I couldn't bear it and left," says Krishnamaya after reaching the old age home.

Even though she is separated from her children, she still remembers Krishnamaya. They keep looking at the door of the old people's home every now and then. 'But  They are never remembered," Krishnamaya says in a grandmother's voice, "I am always wondering if my grandchildren will come. But if your own son doesn't remember his mother, why should you be upset that they didn't come!' 

For Krishnamaya, the festivals pass without crying . Expressing her grief at the thought of having children, she says, 'What would my life be like, even if I had no children!' It has been 19 years since the death of her husband. Bhima had a daughter . She got married in India, now she is there . 

Her own daughter brought her and left her in the old age home . If my daughter was close, I would have been able to live with my daughter. Everyone's children come. How difficult it is to feel as if it is not yours,' she says . He thinks that at least his daughter would have come to Matatirth Aunsi. 'The child was born after 9 months in her womb,' she said in a soft voice, 'so what is the matter with my sorrow, mother, how would it be if you asked me how my mother is.'

When she sees a mother and daughter walking on the road, she misses her daughter . "He must also have obligations, why would I come to see the old woman and leave my children and family from such a distance," she made her eyes juicy .

Parvati Pudasaini is sitting on the end of the bed with her feet hanging on the floor with the support of two sticks. She is 52 years old and cannot move both her legs . The area below the waist does little work . Parvati has a daughter . After getting married, she now lives in Japan. The husband is staying at home with another wife . "I came to the ashram two years ago after my husband and father-in-law kept stressing me that we could not come and take care of my daughter,"  She became emotional, "I want my daughter to come to Aunsi and live with me, to listen to my grievances, but what can I do, only one child has gone to earn money abroad." He will come to Nepal only after 18 months.'

Nee ( 52 ) She told that everyone was laughing at her after she became disabled. "Everybody's getting sick". Everyone's love while he can, everyone's darling when he can't...' Then she couldn't speak .

Basanti Homagai, who is living in Manav Seva Ashram in Nagarjun Municipality-1 Ranivan, has turned 70 years old. She has white hair and is asthmatic. She keeps lying in bed with the help of oxygen . His home, Jayjetha is all in Kavre . She said that when her husband disappeared in India for 40 years, she became homeless after her brother-in-law passed it in her name.

She is in Manavseva Ashram with her husband . "Fate has cheated me with so many things". There is no home, no children,' she could not hold back her tears, 'Fate did not give her the good fortune to become a mother, nor any basis to explain her mind. If I had children, where would I come and live in an old age home?'

When she sees people coming to the ashram saying 'mother', she feels like her own child . Every festival is becoming exciting for him. "I am saddened to God, why I didn't have a single child even though I didn't mean anything bad to anyone," she said. Even more Matatirtha will happen in Aunsi and Dasain.' 

Kavre is the home of 60-year-old Shanta Tamang. He has 3 sons and 2 daughters. She was living in the ashram with her husband, after the death of her husband in the ashram a year ago, her life has become more dark. He does not know where his children are, what they are doing. But he still has hope that his children will come and take him. "Someone is sitting in the ashram without children, even though I have children, I am in the ashram, hoping that they will come to take it, but they don't know what to do," she says.

Sometimes she thinks - even if she doesn't remember at other times, her children should remember her when she is pregnant. Now she has stopped hoping. There are people who feel sad that they had to live in an ashram without children, but even though they have children and grandchildren, it is so cruel to have to live in an ashram like there is no one. Only I know how much I cry,' she tells her pain.

Soni Majhi's left leg is paralyzed and does not move properly . She is 51 years old and has a Dolakha house. 2 sons and 1 daughter but where are they  He doesn't know . "My children didn't come because they didn't know where I was, otherwise they would have come," she hopes, "before I was sitting in the room, they used to come." After staying in the ashram due to paralysis, they have not come. I am spending the day hoping that they will come and take me.'
