Souls of my city: Career before love

Sunita and Rajesh Rijal have been married for sixteen years. Sunita was only seventeen when they tied the knot.

The couple got married in a rush because Rajesh, the groom to be, was due for Malaysia; they got married two days before his flight. Now, the couple works together. They create art on stones.

Elaborating on their marriage, Rajesh stated, “She was in school when we fell in love. We now have a 13-year-old son. It’s natural for married couples to fight, but apart from the occasional quarrels, we are like two wheels of a chariot.”
