Till February this year I used to walk to a small jungle at the outskirts of my town.It is about 5 kms from my place.It would take me about 4 hours to walk to the jungle;wander there and come back home.
In February last I have a small grocery store of my own and resigned from my job.
Now I earn much more than what I did.And now I'm my own boss.
But the problem is that now I can't go to the jungle in the evening.Evening is the peak time of my store.I can't shut the shop.Although my father helps me;but he is now old and can't work hard.His friends also come to gossip with him and he enjoys it.
I want both -to resume my jungle visits and run my store.I'm looking for a solution.

Sounds like you enjoy this walk a lot. Is the jungle safe to walk around especially in the evening?
Your father has worked hard all his life. Now he needs to have good time with friends. After certain age, it is good to be engaged for love of the work but not as a responsibility. That becomes stressful.

@arunima25 You're right.I love nature.I love jungles.The jungle I visit every evening is 5 kms from my place.Here you can spot small wild animals like jackals;foxes and hyaenas etc.These animals fear human beings and stay hiding themselves behind bushes.I don't disturb or chase them.I just try to spot them and enjoy their movements.I love watching them.

@arunima25 I love nature.I love jungles and jungle inmates.I want to visit wildlife sanctuaries;but due to some reasons can't go there now.So to satisfy my wish I have been walking to a small;but dense jungle at the outskirts of my town 5 kms from my place.I hate disturbing the animals there.

@Shivram59 Oh! That sounds wonderful. You seem to be a Nature lover. I might be scared to even spot them. But seems like you have got used to them. Glad that you don't interfere with their activities. This planet is for all organisms to co exist.

It is a shame you cannot go to the jungle. I know how much you love that time.
Perhaps one day you can?
No one to trust to run the shop for one day?

@RebeccasFarm I hope so too.I want both to earn money and keep visiting the jungle every evening.My father is ready to help me and look after the store in the evening;but I know he loves gossiping with his friends.He would get tired if he works continuously for three or four hours.
