Every day she roams around Basantapur with a smile on her face convincing thirsty pedestrian into buying a bottle of water. Musuba Shahi is a 73-year-old woman from Jumla. She came to the Valley around four months ago and started selling water since then. Musuba is a mother of two daughters. She had lost her five and two-year-old sons. The cause of death was pneumonia since there were no proper health facilities in Jumla at that time. She was a farmer in Jumla. A couple of years into farming, they lost their land which led to mental pressure for her husband and he finally succumbed to the pressure. Now she is living with her youngest daughter.
