A Sad Story

This is one sad story of the suffereing that pervades many aspects of life in this part of the world. Prem and Dhana (mother and father of hill family) were showing me some old pictures. They showed me a picture of a man who helped them build their house. Prem said this man was not a good man, a drunk. Over many years he became even more of an alcoholic and went into a depression. After a while he went into the jungle and hung himself and was not discovered for a week or so. This man had 4 brothers. Sadly at all different times each brother went into the jungle and hung himself as well. So all 5 suffered the same tragic fate. The man in the picture left behind 6 sons and daughters.
