Story of Laxmi Lama

It was only tourists who take pictures then, now even Nepalese people do take my pictures. Tourists from all around the world do come to see Ason. I guess my pictures are there in America, China, Japan and many other countries that I don't know the names. It was King Mahendra's regime, even this hustling and bustling of Ason remains so deserted. There were only few vegetable vendors like me and we use to sell vegetable the whole day. I don't know how to read and write, thus selling vegetable is the easy choice for me to support my family.

Big chunk of my life evolve around Ason. I was only 15-16 years old when I first came to Ason. Now I don't feel like going other place to live. Even when I have gloomy business I feel happy to meet and see people from Lalitpur, Kritipur, Bhakatapur and Kathmandu here at Ason. When I got married, my husband used to live here in Kathmandu with his family so I never get to visit my husband's native village. I have one son and daughter. I lost my daughter when she was only 14 years old and studying in 7th grade. Both my father-in-law and my husband, were bread and butter earner in the family. My father-in-law was a construction manager and my husband was a health worker, especially on Malaria. He had to travel many places. Now both of them are gone.
Laxmi Lama, 75 years originally from Sindupalchok, now a resident of Sowaymbu, lives with her daughter-in-law and two granddaughters in a fairly good home. Her only son is currently working in Canada.
