Khokon, the manager of my material supplier said to me, "You're taking too long to build your house. When are going to live in it ?"
A valid question but surely he knows building a house is not a short time affair especially for a person of low income like me. I got the foundation of the house laid in January 2022. It's March of 2025 and I suppose I might need one more year before I can hope to live in the house .
I wish to give the house a coat of cement paint soon as April might bring the first showers of rain . That's the month when rainy storms begin to hit our state, though the real rainy season arrives anytime in the last last week of June.
A voice inside me whispered, " The joy is in the little steps you're taking in building the house. It will only culminate when it will be ready for you to live in it."
Today, I went to the site to keep two sacks of stone chips in a safe place. They were lying scattered outside beside the public path .
I agree with the voice because I did feel a joy after completing the piece of work.
