The Tea Boy

By Bhisma Neupane

At the holy temple of Pashupati, there is a boy who sells tea everyday. Some older boys call him names like “psycho” and push him around. I decided to make friends with this tea boy.

Nischal also told me his father had come from the village to meet him. But his father is unable to support him. So he plans to get a job as a security guard in Kathmandu.
