Aman Shrestha

Today i am just pondering how people's lives have been affected directly or indirectly by the earthquake, Some are visible victims of earthquake, however, some are invisible victims. Well, my life , its not same as it used to be before earthquake. After the devastating earthquake i lost my Aunty who was my second mother , she died because she couldnot get proper care in the hospital as the hospitals were overcrowded after the earthquake . I didn't lose my house or family, still,  i was an invisible earthquake victim.  The tourism industry where i work was badly affected by the earthquake , many people lost their houses  but i lost my job. Almost all my job appointments were cancelled then how i regretted my decision of being a tour guide  in fact of being a FREELANCER tour guide.

The grief  of losing my aunty and my job was heavy for me but it was not the limit another devastating moment came in my life when my father was diagnosed with fouth stage colon cancer, it was shocking for me but still i kept my hopes alive and i started to believe on MIRACLE , but his health was degrading despite our effort. The moment i needed most the money was the moment i was jobless 

My friends were always there to help me and they were the only strength i had, i was very vulnerable to face the situation, but  my two best friends NICO and MAYA they were always there , they always had space for me no matter how busy they were no matter how their lives were also affected by earthquake. They were my rays of hope the moment i had completely lost hopes. I used to call them everytime i was stressed .

Life in kathmandu was difficult after India's economic blockade over Nepal, so Nico, who was my emotional support then had to leave Nepal , he had to leave the moment that i needed most his emotional support, even my another emotional support Maya she had to leave Nepal and after some time she was diagnosed with  Lung Cancer .

I couldnot understand what's happening with the people i love ! Today i lost my father but  i learned a big life lesson , Life is not a bed of roses , difficult situations in life give us power to face difficult situations !
