"My wife has left me and the kids. I think she waited for the children to become of certain age so than they can take care of themselves. Now, I live with my two sons, both go to school. The eldest one helps me out a lot. Also because of my strong lisp, people hardly come talk to me. Because they really have to pay attention to gather what I am saying.

(Shyamsadhu, Ghumthang, Sindhupalchok)
