I would choose to be born a buffalo and never as a woman.
Wake up at 5 am, trudge 2 kms uphill to fetch water for cooking, cleaning, drinking for family and buffaloes, cook, clean, sweep and collect dung for manure, fetch grass and green leaves for the buffaloes, work in the fields- (sowing ginger and corn, when I was there) fetch more water, cook , clean and sleep.
Kids as young as 5 years were carrying hay that weighed probably more than them trekking more than 2 kms uphill ( 2 or more such treks) before they got ready to go to school.
The only animal that had a cushy life was the buffalo.
When I was wondering what the men do- I was told they earn a living. I wonder what it means
