No 'No' to Work

_x000D_ _x000D_ "I carry weights. It has been a long time. I forget how long. From the day I arrived in Kathmandu 30 years ago. It's hard. Most of the times I get no work. When I get work, I manage to make 300-400 rupees. And then there are days which go empty without hope. I am fifty eight years. My legs give me problems. They randomly decide to sleep. But I don’t say no to work. 20 kilos, 30 kilos, 50 kilos and sometimes 80 kilos. I don’t say no to work." (Sitaram Khatri, Khimti, Ramechap)_x000D_ _x000D_
