”I don’t know what to tell you about about life. We are simple people who have to work hard to make a living. Now we have a house to live in before we used to live in a cave. We used to have three rooms, one for the kitchen, one for the store room and one for sleeping. Then people bring the concept of making houses and everyone has a house to live in but I prefer to live in the caves. During monsoon time it would not leak and we would all keep dry and warm. During the winter you don’t have to clean up the snow. It is only 7 years since I built my house and start living inside it. All the caves were cracked during the earthquake and now that’s the place for cattle. Modern technology changes everything and you have to accept it and be happy. I am scared that soon we will lose our culture and values. Time and people are changing so fast.” Yotun Gurung,Chossar, Upper mustang
