“Life is nothing. What this is, is constant struggle to eat. We made plans, that we will do this and do that, save money and build a house. This planning, saving and building took from us our entire lives. Years and years and everything is gone in one second. But the hunger hasn’t gone. Oh, it’s there, never forgetting to return every few hours. It’s there and your stomach squeaks if you are late to eat. Life is nothing. I want to laugh even when I think about all this.” (Nepal Didi, Basbari 3, Melamchi, Sindhupalchowk)
