It is so painful to say that I don't own my own house till now as my grand father lost everything on gambling.Then he had to leave his place and move to this village. So since my father's time not one of us has played gambling.
We have been working for our landlord for 3 generations and still we don't have our own land.During my time we could only get rice to eat once a year. My father and mother worked hard all day to make a living.
I still remember those painful days. We didn't have enough. All of my children were born and have grown up here. I could not give them the best education. I feel sad about that but what can I do? I am already old and my son is working this land now.I hope we will have good days in the future.
