Chatra Bahadur Basnet Dhungribaas, Sindhuli
“Father was a Mukhiya. So I never had to work hard growing up. We had many servants and the villagers stood at my father’s command. I never had to learn any skills. Always had everything in excess. Though I did go to India and did many odd jobs, life has always treated me fair. But after father died, his rule left with him. The villagers moved to cities and came back with money, books, and wisdom. With whatever property I was able to save I started a business. But I did not know anything about business. I trusted people and I got cheated. I lost all the money I had. And I do not want to leave the burden of my faults to my children. I am still breathing and when you breathe you need and want all the comfort that you can get. So I have started this shop again. I come every morning and stay here all day. But the box never gets full. Growing up, the box was always full.
