Part-15: August 25, 2007 (Contd:) A job hunting experience in Kathmandu I started to live at Baneshwor adjusting with the family of my friends. They tried to search a job for me. They contacted wherever was their approach. I got a chance to teach a girl next to our apartment, preparing for the SLC. Along with her were other three kids of her uncle. I taught the four for a month. The guy who gave this job to me paid Rs.300. That was too low but I was happy because that was my first income of my toil in that new place. One of the neighbors, who was a teacher in a public school in Kathmandu, gave interest to find a job for me. Ultimately she managed a home tuition for me; I had to teach three kids of her relative. I would be paid Rs. 500 per month for that job. Great! One other friend of my friend's brother searched another home tuition for me in Old Baneshwor. I would be paid Rs. 700 per month for the four kids. That was the time which began my life of a teacher which is still going today but at a different place and environment! I established myself as a home tutor. But how long could I go with that profession? I also tried to look for a job of a teacher in private and boarding schools. I used to see the "WANTED" in magazines and go to the schools. The first question the principal or the administrators used to ask me was: “Do you have any teaching experience before?". Oh my god, does a baby get birth getting a teaching or some kinds of job experiences? A baby is born and the first thing it knows is to cry. Beyond that is all gained by doing something in his/her environment. Wherever I went to look for a job, I was just turned down because of the lack of my experience related to that work. This made me spend my two full years to be a home tutor. The nice thing was that I had gained a good name of "ALL ROUND TUITION TEACHER" at Baneshwor. By the end of two years in Kathmandu, I was teaching about nine groups of students. This was giving a good income to me. In fact, there were no places for the students who used to come late to join to tuition with me. A good tuition master - BKMailo ! (Contd:)
