Description:		This was recorded at the site office of LEDBL at Gorkha in the beginning days of data gathering in the field. We had invited Dambar Bahadur Baram and Tok Man Baram from Danda Gaun Gorkha as language consultants. Tok Man narrates the story of his own life recalling how he joined the army. All details are related to this.
		This project aims to document Baram, a seriously endangered language of Nepal, for its preservation and promotion. For this purpose, we will develop a corpus of the various texts of the Baram language and thereby prepare resources such as its sketch grammar, lexicon and ethnographic profile. To revitalize the language, we will develop Baram orthography and prepare a Baram primer to facilitate its use in basic education and literacy programmes. The audio-video recordings of the Baram database will be archived with its annotation in a website for its accessibility to linguists, ethnographers and the Baram speech community.
		In this life experience Tokman narrates the past events. He was recruited into the army. This narration provides the details how he travelled from his home on his way to join the army. Villagers showed extra respect to him when he was recruited. He feels that joining the army has a vital role in his society.
