2. LIFE AT THE GATES

Q2: As a security guard, do you ever get scared at work?
Answer: No, I never get scared!
Q3: What’s your favourite food?
Answer: I absolutely love Nepalese cuisine, especially a traditional dish called Nepalese Dhido. It’s made from ground buckwheat or millet, and its warm, earthy flavour always reminds me of home.
Q4: Do you like your job?
Answer: Yes, I love my job! Every morning I get to see all the cute kids and their parents, and they’re all so kind — it always starts my day with a smile.
