Our struggle story Part-1

 Mina Dahal and me were going   to field in very remote area . She  became sometime frustrated sometime happy and sometime mood off. Sometime she scolded her manger  why she was transferred in very remote area but  that  is a beyond of her control . She must be walk one day for reach in village. I was accompanied with her for my research work for preparation of my PhD.

She  and me were  travelling  and thought of different idea, knowledge coming our mind . On the way she became show me more frustrated behavior and said what she had faced in her life  . During on the way she didn't feel anything , when very dense forest came  she was sometime afraid from bear because bear could  attack us . Becaise ,many people were attracked by Bears in the past .

On the way we could not find way , and feel hungry and thirsty.She remembered past experience of her life of trouble and how to grown up status with only mother. Mother care her and mother only grew up her .  Again remembering mother status but still she didn't give satisfaction to mother . Due to her job somehow support for subsistence livelihood of mother but not cover all expenses. Sometime she again again remembers many things which was expressed to me during field walking from morning to evening from down hill to up hill. When we were in the forest there was long way to reach village so in the forest it became very night dark about 7 oclcok. We became little bit afraid but I did not show her my fare because if I saw her infront of her she would be more afraid so I said her only go a head, do not need to afraid because god is with us.

When we went at  night on the way we reached Sunkoshi river and we  walked towards edge of river  about one hours but unable to find out any  home. In the next edge of river she  noticed some light but we could not get bridge, sothat we walked in the edge of river. There is little bit raining happen and on way upperflow tamaksohi river we thought now if we couldn't care we would float by  Sunkoshi river sothat we were  moving towards upper part where were not houses only forest. Again we went 10 minutes upper.

She knows smelling of the cow dung and she become little happy and thank to god because she estimated here may be small house for night stay. And searched to house, and when she reached near house she called me and  house owner . Houseowner came and crying who you were you  in this night . She said \" I am a Mina Dahal , social worker for,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,village sothat could you give us night stay \" That house owner reply \"why  did you both ladies walk in such a night time, do you know you are a women ?\"  Finally that  houseowner provided us lodging to stay there. At the last that house owner gaves her flattened rice, milk and vegetable. We  were  so hungry and ate all things. That owner gave us Sukul (mat made by straw) and say to sleep in inside of room which under Cows and buffaloes were there. We could   easily sleep because we were so tired. In the morning  wake up and went to our research area. But it was rainy season sothat way was not good, many flooding happen . Therefore, we estimated and villagers also said that it would take still one day for walking upper of mountain area.

Due to the rainy season raining, raining  and no way in the  river edges all ways were  blocked by increasing level of water and landslide so that we could not see the way  for go another side because of fog . At last, we  went  upper part  and when we were  moving upper part we  saw one fisherman walking to the road.

And she called that fisherman enthusiastically for going  with him. He called us in the way. We were also going with him. When that fisherman had crossed the river Mina request him for support us but he refused and said ‘ I could 't cross you river, you must cross by yourself ‘. In this way that fisherman left us and he crossed himself  only.

Oh god, she said in heartily and moving upwards to step slope. Soil was so loosing and if we fall down we could easily fall in river. Sometime we feel to fallen down to river but again we collected a lot of patience. After one hours climbing up in the steep and dangerous slope . we met one lady farmer who was going to forest for cutting grass and we asked way to her . And  she showed us proper way to reach our research area. Continue
