Gautam Buddha has once said, "Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle. Happiness never decreases by being shared." Similarly, on the way to Bouddha Stupa from Fulbari, you might encounter seven-year-old Poonam Majhi, waiting for devotees to buy her candles at her mom's small stall. Along with selling candles, she is helping her mom and sharing her joy to all just being a kid. She says her aim is to be a doctor and go to America for pursing her higher studies. Poonam who is a student studying in UKG, added, "I will come to Nepal being a doctor and give chocolate to people."  Being able to have chocolate is her definition of happiness which she would love to share.
