“There is nothing I love more than football. My favourite players are Ronaldo and Messi. I am more interested in football than in going to school. Maybe that is why I flunked the SLC. Maybe I will take the exams again this year. But I cannot play football as much as I want to, I have to make some money too. I cannot go an ask my struggling parents. So I also work as a porter carrying goods from one village to the other. Yesterday I arrived in this village but I missed an important football match. Without my defence, my team might have lost. I feel bad, such is the nature of life.” (Dilen Halok Limbu, Tafethok 9, Taplejung)
