Souls of my city: A hard–earned residence

Souls of my city: A hard–earned residence

Dhan Maya Gautam, 66, spends her day selling vegetables and listening to the radio. She is not familiar with the songs the stations air.

Gautam was born in Jhapa and was pregnant with a baby boy at just 16. She says she lost her husband while her son was still in her womb. “Raising my son on my own was a tough task. I did all I could to raise him. In return, I insisted he to focus on his studies,” she said. Her son now works in a finance company. With their joint savings, the mother-son duo built their permanent home in Dillibazar.
