Samtse’s 68-year-old bag maker personifies ‘age is just a number’

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Often in life, we divide ourselves into the age brackets of young and old and restrict ourselves from doing things that we really want to do. Well, tell this to 68-year-old, Najay, from Samtse’s Khandothang village and he will say age is just a number. What once started as a hobby of making bags, Najay, has now turned it into a thriving business. Our Samtse correspondent, Passang Dorji, caught up with the man who makes a living by making and selling bags.
