"The things I say is taken as amusement. But I am actually trying to tell them something and not trying to amuse them. When you become old you become an object - an object for pity and amusement.

I have lived my life and the past is gone. All I want is to die peacefully."_x000D_ _x000D_ - Nanda Lal, Patyalna Syanja, Met him in Pumdi bhumdi,Kaski
