“They used to say, ‘Go to school, study well or else you will have to spend your life herding the beasts.’ But I always wanted to play with the animals and swim in the pond. I never could do well in school. They used to say ‘ABCD’, I said something else entirely. And that’s what happened. Life’s spent around this animals. But I guess those who went to school don’t know much about herding animals.” (Hum Bahadur Reshmi, Daugha 8, Gulmi)
