Yam Kumari Karki & Tej Bahadur Karki Salleri 5, Solukhumbu

“I was struggling to carry the heavy sack of wheat up the cliff. A few men had already passed me by but no one had stopped to offer help. He was the only one who did. Back in the day, he was very good looking. I am not saying he has lost it. I am just saying I fell in love with him. And today we are married for some twenty, thirty years. If there was another life, I would still ask for him as a husband.”

“You are right, good-looking men like me are rare to find.”

Both laugh.
