Dashain never comes to old people’s homes in Nepal

Nanda Bahadur Rokaya (73), a permanent resident of Dunai Thala in Dolpa, is sitting on a bed at the government-run old people’s home at Pashupati, Kathmandu. Everything and everyone there is as new to him as the city is. He is observing the people and things happening there.

Rokaya recently got separated from his home and relatives, but he still is in love with his birthplace. But, he just has a walking stick and memories in the name of his place.
