Nowhere to go

As days go by, he gets tired of his routine and wonders if anything is going to change in his life. He works his ass off everyday so that he can eat full and stay alive.

Go to farm, plough the field, cook the food, eat, do dishes etc are his daily chores. And, he has to go about a mile away from his hut down the hill to fetch a bucket of water and he does this countless times everyday. This is how they survive in those hellacious hills up there. No road, no shopping malls, no water supply through a well organised system, no electricity.

Next month is september, the trekking season is about to begin so, he'll have to move to Lukla to get a trek.That time, Khumbu will be packed with tourists from all the places, a very good time to make some good money.

Now is the time to get a break and see what's next? is his thought.
