I’m Naila and I live in the

Nakkhu neighbourhood. All

my neighbours are engaged

in different occupations to
earn their livelihood. Even

my parents work to earn and

provide basic requirements

to us. My father, Mr. Harish
Pun is a police officer whereas my mother, Mrs. Lekha Pun is a school

teacher.

People living in my neighbourhood can be found engaged in various

occupations. We have a cobbler who mends our shoes, a tailor who
sews our clothes, a mechanic who repairs our car, bike, bicycle etc,

a blacksmith who makes tools like kuto, kodalo, hansiya, knives and

utensils, a shopkeeper who sells groceries, a weaver who weaves

doko, dalo, namlo etc, a potter who makes earthenware from clay, a
pharmacist who sells medicine, a photographer who takes our photos,

a dentist who takes care of our teeth, a barber who cuts our hair, a

florist who sells flowers, a driver who drives bus, trucks etc for us.

Without these neighbours of ours, we couldn’t live comfortably as
they provide us services of our daily need.
