CHITWAN: MONKEYS have been terrorising elderly people of Rotari Karunalaya, an old age home, at Devghat in the district for the past few years.

“Monkeys have been bullying us out of our wits for the past six years. They snatch cooked rice and eat,” said 90-year-old Uma Devi Khanal, who came to the old age home from Kathmandu a decade ago to live a peaceful life. She said that the simians do not let them sleep well, nor do they let them eat properly. “They even attack us when we try to chase them away,” she lamented. Read more

If we understand the mantra of eat, sleep, walk, and pray (optional), we will remain young forever and do not need any anti-wrinkle creams nor surgical procedures to cover the age lines. Read more
