“I have some farming land. I leave home at 7 and return at 5. I work all day, everyday. Sometimes 12 hours a day. Strange how we must do the task of eating, if nothing else. But I have no desire for something else or to become someone else. I feel proud to be a farmer, to sweat for a few hours and watch food grow from my land.” (Dev Bhakta Newar, Ghumthang, Sindhupalchowk)
