Married at 15, worked all his life, never cut a cake… what happened on his 70th birthday will break your heart

For most of his life, Ram Dinesh Rai never paused to count the years.

Birthdays came and went without candles, without cake, without anyone saying, “This day is yours.” There was always work waiting. Meals to cook. Floors to clean. Children to raise. Life, for him, was not about celebrating time - it was about surviving it.
