“The last drop of petrol is dry. So I just somehow dumped my taxi in the garage, and came here to watch people come and go. You tell me what can a marginalised person like me do to change the situation? We are the most affected. It’s about putting food on the table. I know my wife will be waiting for vegetables and I am thinking, ‘How do I get the vegetables?’ I know god won’t let my family go hungry, but sometimes he takes his own time to answer prayers.” (Bhim Shrestha, Kausaltaar, Bhaktapur. Met him in Naag Pokhari, Kathmandu)
