Hari has now moved up with his two sons from Chitwan after a tragic accident earlier in the year. His wife was fatally wounded by a tiger whilst she was out in the fields collecting grass for her animals.
Hari told me how arranged marriages work over here and how he has had many proposals since the tragedy, but he is not looking for another partner. Hari's mother was betrothed at nine years old and had her first daughter when she was only fourteen. I hope we get many more opportunities to chat. He is such an interesting man who has been touched by great sadness. Hari's son Ganesh will be walking to school with me most mornings and I look forward to helping him with English conversation.
