Sakharpura Saptari

“The relationship that I have with mother earth is bigger than any human relationship in my life. I have taken food from the soil and this very earth has soaked away my sweat and blood. My sons were born because of this earth. They have food because of this land. But to them, none of it is important anymore. They do not understand. This world has changed them. And thus, they have left. There is one who is still here. I know, his heart belongs somewhere else and he thinks of leaving too, leaving me behind to perish in this soil. This soil is where I came from, this is where I will go. And you too, Son.”
