“I cannot forget that when I was small, I used to suck on my thumb all the time. This one time, I remember that my brother dip my thumb in black paint thinking that I would stop. But I couldn’t. In no time my thumb was in my mouth and my tongue and mouth turned black. The paint was really bitter too.”

– Jit Lal Dangol, Met him in Khokana, Lalitpur
