"The one from the garden or from Dhaulpur?" "Is she a widow?" "Is she?" "Yes." "She is a widow." "Then you do like this." "You go straight ahead and ask.." "..anyone where the old lady of the garden stays." "Old lady of the garden?" "She has a mango grove." "So all call her old lady of the garden." "The old lady of the garden." "Ask anyone as Anandi Devi of the garden." " Okay." "I am going, aunty." "Okay." "One slipper is on the other, aunty." "It is said.." "..this happens when there is a journey to be made." "Now daughter, only one journey is left for me." "Four people will carry me away to the graveyard." "Aunty, let your enemies die!" "Who?" "Aunty.." "I touch your feet, aunty." "Live long, live long." "Who are you, son?" "I did not recognise you." "How will you recognise me, aunty?" "I was very young then." "Your husband Niranjan babu was the uncle of my father.." "..Girdhari babu." "I am his son." "Girdhari!" "The one from Mutthiganj?" "Yes." "I am his son, Arun." "Okay." "So you are Girdhari's son." "Come, son, sit" "Take the cot this side." " Okay." "... Is everything well at home?" "Everything is well by your blessings." "I work in the city." "I am an insurance agent." "How is Girdhari Lal?" "My father has expired, it is three years." "You did not inform me." "How could we?" "We didn't even know that till now you were.." "..that you were living here till now." "I too did not inform anyone else." "I spent many years here." "I had forgotten that there is a life outside this place also." "How is your mother?" "She expired one year prior to father." "Everyone has gone one by one." "Only I am still.." "..bound with this soil." "I have come here for that reason only, aunty.." "..so that I may take you with me to the city." "I came to know that you were living alone here.." "..like this in the village." "I felt very bad." "Lata got so scared." "I mean, your daughter-in-law." "She said it does not look nice if you remain in the village.." "..like this when we are alive." "Long live, my son." "I seems very nice to hear.." "..that I too have some relative who has come to fetch me." "Take this, have some tea." "Oh, oh, I say.." "It is hot." "I say get ready." "Let us go by the evening train itself." "The train is at 4 o'clock." "We shall reach the city by evening." "Now where will I go out of this threshold in this age, my son.." "..I am habituated to this place." "So what if it is ramshackle?" "It is still a house." "I have a small mango grove here." "I think it bears fruit still just for me." "I am not telling you to leave all this, aunty." "When you feel like, come and see." "How far is the city from here?" "Just a couple of hours away." "If you are getting some money out of this holding.." "..then why should you leave it?" "No, no, son." "I do not think of money." "Think that.." "..this all has become my family." "When I sit alone.." "..in the courtyard, then this mud walls speak to me." "These windows, these doors, all talk with me." "Talks of old times." "There used to be a crowd of people here." "There used to be excitement here always." "On this courtyard, my mother-in-law had put some paddy." "She had put oil on it." "That was the first time I came as a bride." "The fellow gets married!" "All right, all right." "Come on, the procession has come.." "Is there something stolen here that you are peeping thus?" "Run away from here." "Go." "I performed all the seven rounds to bring you here." "I did not bring you just like that from someone's house." "You were quite impatient to get married." "I had heard your name is Anandi." "I cannot see any joy on your face though." "Why are you so stiff?" "Have they starched and sent you?" "She moves like a guard's flag." "Come here." "Did you not hear?" "Come here." "Come here or I shall slap you and break your teeth." "The donkey of a launderer." "The tears have welled up in the eyes." "Take this handkerchief." "Wipe the tears." "Wipe the tears.." "Wipe them off." "I'll leave you today, but if you shed these.." "..tears again, I shall cover these eyes." "Turn around and look at me." "Mother was telling she has got me a fairy.." "..there's nothing like that." "How much have you studied?" "How much have you studied?" "I have studied Hindi till fourth grade." "Were you going to a school?" "No!" "My father used to teach me at home." "Thanks that you spoke at least." "I thought mother got some dumb girl for me." "Sit here." "Sit here." "Till when will you stand here hurting your feet?" "Now let me tell you some important things." "There is a drama company in this village.." "..where I have to go everyday." "Hence I shall be late at night." "I cannot tell you how late you will be." "Yes." "I shall sometimes return drunk on toddy." "Do you know what toddy means?" "Alcohol." "All the celebrated poets and artistes used to drink." "From Khayyam to Ghalib and from Ghalib to Niranjan." "See, if I tell you something untoward after getting drunk.." "..then forgive me." "If you try to fight, I shall beat you up." "It must be fifty years ago." "But that booming voice.." "..of that night is still etched on my ears." "It seems as if it were just yesterday." "But he was very short-tempered." "He would say.." "..any nonsense for trivial things." "But he had a good heart." "He was very charitable." "Kindness to people, service to the village." "Those days there was a flood in the river, when.." "..so many villages were destroyed." "He ran from pillar to post in the village." "Is there a need to go purposefully into danger?" "You know what a big epidemic is spread there." "If there is an epidemic there, shall I sit here by your feet?" "I should help them." "Shanker, Shibu, Dinu, all are going." "I am not going alone." "Shanker, lift this bundle of clothes." "I will take the grain." "Take a sack more if you have." "We'll ask some grain and.." "..Ientils on the way." "Is there anything in the brain or has an eagle taken it away?" "Those who will give grain, won't they give a sack also?" "Let it be, brother." "I'll carry it." "Listen.." "Will you return by evening?" "I do not know." "Look!" "If you do not return by evening, you'll see me dead." "That was the last time I saw him." "What an inauspicious moment that was.." "..when I gave him that promise." "I could not even see his face." "I could not even see him.." "..for the last time." "Why?" "What had happened?" "He had gone to some far-off place to distribute charity." "There only he attracted some epidemic.." "..and died struggling against it." "Since then, I am passing my days remembering those old days." "Hence I have come to take you, aunty." "After all, I too have some responsibility towards you." "You are right, son." "I too am fearful of living alone now." "Can't say when my limbs will fail and.." "..when I shall have to remain helpless in a corner." "If I had someone to call my own.." "..they would have performed my last rites." "I don't know who all will touch this body." "No aunty, now you will not have to live alone." "Live with us as our mother." "Come on." "Stop here, carriage driver." "Come, aunty." "Careful." "Take this, driver." "Aunty.." " Yes, Lata." "I touch your feet." " Long live, daughter." "See this." "We are here and you are living alone in the village." "Does anyone do this?" "We don't have a mother." "It will be so good if you stay with us as our mother." "And then.." "I am doubly related to you." "Yes.. one on Arun's side and another on my mother's side." "Arun.." " Yes?" "Your wife speaks very well.." "She has learnt in a Madras isn't it?" "Yes." "I did my BA anyhow." "All girls have to marry, girl." "Not marriage, aunty.." "B.." "That is a very big degree, aunty." "She has done BA.." "..in economics." "Lots of brains are needed for economics." "One doesn't praise like this in front of elders." "Daughter-in-law, what is this?" " What?" "Come here." "Why did you cut your hair?" "How short you have made.." "..your like just like the boys." "Don't you braid them?" "No, aunty." "That takes a lot of time." "Who can take care of such long hair?" "It was not like that in our time." "A girl was said to be.." "..more beautiful if she had longer hair." "But in that age, only hair were beautiful, aunty, not girls." "Do not tell like this, son." "Now I have grown old." "But in those days I was no less beautiful than your wife." "Your Grandson, aunty." "Go son, go to your grandma." "My young baby." "My moon, my darling!" "He is so happy with his grandmother." "After all, our own are our own, they are blood, isn't it?" "Daughter-in-law, your son is like a doll." "But you should have a girl this time." "Come on, aunty." "I will show you the bathroom." "Freshen up." "Like that.. there is a tap on the terrace." "It has the holy water of the Ganges." "Bathe there everyday if you so wish." "Hey.. the life should be big, not long." "Rajesh Khanna's new form.." "in the movie Anand.." "You are the queen of the water.." "You are the queen of the water.." "You are the queen of the water.." "Give me ten paise." "Who are you?" "I am hungry." "Me and Tini too." "Give me ten paise." "Tini?" "Who is Tini?" "She is my sister." "She cannot walk." "She stays at home." "Please give me ten paise." "What kind of parents do you have?" "They don't give you anything to eat?" "And they sent you outside?" "Here.." "Take something from the market and eat, okay?" "It is such a strange place." "Milk drinking children.." "..roam around hungry in the streets." "Billu.. wait.. don't go.." "I tell you.. don't go.." "They are stronger.." "don't go.. wait.." "There will be a fight." "Don't go.." "Let me go.. there will be a fight!" "Let there be a fight." "I'll teach everyone a lesson." "Don't go." "Let it be." "Shyam has told.." "..us not to go to them all alone." "They have bombs." "They have bombs!" "Are you scared of them?" "If you are scared of bombs, you can go.." "I am not scared of bombs." "They will come in our locality.." "..and have fun." " And I should sit like this?" "Then go and die." "How am I connected?" "I will go and tell Shyam." "Shyam.." "Shyam.. he is the only one around here." "God.. what language do they speak?" "I don't understand anything." "They haven't even broken their milk teeth." "And look at their eyes." "They are so bloodshot.." "Give me a cup of tea." "Wait.." "I am giving you." "Rambharose, give me biscuits for ten paise." "Biscuits for ten paise.." " Ramu.. come here.." "Come here." "Who gave this money?" "That woman gave it to me." "That woman?" "Did you people hear that?" "It isn't even a week that he has taken birth.." "..and he has already found a woman." "Neelu.. what is that called?" "The tin cock on the roofs of the big buildings?" "The one who changes it's stance with the wind.." "Weather cock?" " Yes.. that one.. weather cock.." "Why, what happened?" "I don't know the weather of this country." "Why?" "The scrambled egg is same, the cock's face has changed." "What do you say, friend?" " Yes, of course." "Rambharose, give me some tea." "Even the most communal and selfish.." "..parties are taking advantage in the name of socialism." "They don't do anything." "They just give speeches." "Isn't it?" " Yes." "Neelu.." "I gave you knowledge till so long." "Why don't you at least treat me to a cup of tea?" "You were giving knowledge and I was paying attention." "Where does the tea come in between?" "Rambharose.." " Yes?" "Give me one more cup of tea." "In Neelu's account." "Shyam.." "Shyam.. that Chinu from Raghu's camp.." "He is moving around in our locality." "I think that there is something amiss." "Forget all that." "I will go and rectify it right now." "He was saying that you had said no?" "Yes." "I had said no." "Don't go empty.." "..handed to any of Sainu's camp." "They will surely have daggers, bombs or something else." "Kabeer, should I come, or I will go?" "I will do it right away." " Come on.." "Listen.. don't hit them." "Just bring them here." "Okay." " And Billu.. sit here." "When everyone is going, what will I do alone here?" "Sit here." "You get angry very soon." "Here.. have this tea." "Hey, old woman.. come on.. run away from here." "Get lost.." "Oh.. do you speak like this to the elderly?" "Didn't you learn speaking with respect?" "I will give you a tight slap and swerve your face." "Do you know whom you are speaking too?" "Yes.." "I know.." "I am speaking to someone.." "..who is as the same age as my grandson." "If I pinch his cheeks, milk will come out even today." "He doesn't even have a way to speak.." "There weren't even so many books then.." "Even then.. boys spoke as grandma and aunty.." "It is such a modern world.." "Oh.. so it is our Mr. Raghunath." " Greetings.. greetings." "What is the matter, we cannot see you nowadays at all.." "you are seen once a blue moon nowadays." "Our eyes are yearning to see you." "No fun, no teasing nothing.." "You have broken our heart." "You don't need to show your teeth to me." "Shut up!" " Sarju, make your friend be silent." "He abuses!" "Friend, don't abuse." "It isn't good." "Yes, you were speaking about some teeth." "Are your teeth bad?" "Is there some worm or something?" "Therefore, it is stinking." "Nowadays, you laugh and joke with your father too?" "Oh!" "Father." "Friend.. don't talk about fathers." " Sorry." "I was just saying that.." "..we don't see your beautiful face nowadays." "Your beautiful face.. no blemish should fall on it.." "Oh.. these eyes.." "Hey.. they are rioting.." "Are you hitting me just because I am alone?" "That poor soul will die." "Don't hit him.." "Shyam has said no.." "I am telling you, don't hit him.." "Oh.. don't hit him.." "Shyam has said no.." "Enough." "Enough.." "Shyam has said no.. don't hit him.." "Daughter-in-law.." "daughter-in-law.. see.." "They are hitting the boy." " Please come upstairs, aunt." "See." "What injustice is this?" "See.." "Please come upstairs, come upstairs with Pinky." "Oh.. god.." "Ram's name is the truth." "Ram's name is the truth." "Oh god.. they hit and almost killed that poor boy." "These boys don't even have some pity." "Please don't keep Pinky out for so long." "If you see sparks here, there will be fire here too." "You will see.. you will see daggers and bombs right now." "Look at this Shyam, we got this from his pockets." "Shyam.. please don't do all this in our shop." "If the police comes sometimes.." "Why were you roaming around with a dagger in this locality?" "It is my wish." "Nobody's father owns this locality." "I will take your tongue away." "Does only your father Sainu have a dagger?" "Does nobody else have it?" "Come on.. stand up.. stand up.." "Tell me, why did you come to the locality?" "I had come to meet my girlfriend." "And who is your girlfriend?" "Savita." " Who is this Savita?" "That Chikoo of the chikoo tree." "By god, she is very spicy." "How are you related to Savita?" "Is she your mother that you ask about her?" "That is good.. my turn will come too." "I will teach a lesson to everyone." "Hey." "What is all this?" "Why are you fighting?" "Go, please look after your own matters." "Don't meddle in our matters." "Wow.. riots are your own matter now?" "Didn't I tell you to go away?" "This whole locality is full of wastrels.. no education.." "Hey.. who are you saying is a wastrel?" "Say it once again.." "He is Savita's father.. the one.." "Raghu's girlfriend.." "Oh.. please listen.." "You asked why we were fighting, isn't it?" "Look at that boy lying there." "Look at him carefully." "Do you know who he is?" "There is a famous hooligan in the nearby locality, Chenu." "He is from his clan." "Do you know why he came here?" "To meet your daughter." "He wants to be your son-in-law." "Did you like your son-in-law?" "Tell me if you did." "I will have her married right away." "You immoral stupid rascal!" " Shut up!" "Shyam, you left your studies." "Did you.." "..leave all manners to speak to your elders too?" "Have you forgotten how you speak to elders?" "You were going to the office, isn't it?" "Go the office." "Please don't meddle in our matters." "I feel so sad looking at these boys." "We don't need your sympathies, you can go.." "Hey." "Catch him." "Catch him.." "Catch him!" "Oh god.." "What kind of world is this?" "Everyone seems to be God's own." "But look at their antics." "It seems that.." "..they have taken the hell on their heads." "Oh.. daughter-in-law.. why have you worn Arun's clothes?" "These are not Arun's clothes." "They are my clothes." "But these pantaloons?" "Everyone wears it nowadays, aunty." "Who will go around looking after six yards of saree?" "You cannot take care of six yards of saree?" "You cannot take care of your hair." "It would have been better if you were born a man." "Of course." "If I were a man, I'd have shown these men!" "Come quickly.. it is late." "I am ready since so long." "You make us late everyday." "When you drink ten cups of tea.." "..only then do you get up from the bed." "Where is today's newspaper." "Yes.. it is here." "And then you take the paper and sit there." "As if you are sitting in some big central library." "Shall I leave, aunty, please take care of Pinky." "Nothing more.. just have her bathe.." "..and powder and then dress her up." "And feed her the milk at three." "And then.." "..take her for a stroll at six in the evening." "I will come by that time." " But where are you going?" "To the office, for work.." " For work?" " Yes." "She works in the office too." "How can one work and earn for the household alone?" "Then.. is she paid too?" "Yes, she is paid four hundred per month." "We will leave now.." "Come on.. we are already late." "We will leave, aunty.." "Oh.." "I am really tired.." "Where have all of us come?" "All are running.." "Running.. everything has changed.." "When did all this change?" "Whoever I see, seems crazy." "Girls don't seem to be girls and boys.." "Beloved.. my life.." "Dushyant.. my beloved.." "Dushyant.. my love.." "You are going.. you are forgetting me.." "I will dance in the forests.." "..and speak to the leaves without you.." "What are you doing?" "I am getting ready for a new drama." "Shakuntala." "See how I will work as Shakuntala." "And who will become Shakuntala?" "Me." "Who else?" "Shakuntala was very beautiful." "So me.." "I will nail your tongue if you talk a lot." "Are you angry?" "Listen to me.." "try to understand.." "This doing work of women is difficult." "Your attitudes.." "your movements.." "How you walk around, your gait.. akin to a cut kite.." "Someone else does it and show it to me?" "I will break my birth string." "Let the drama start." "I will work like Shakuntala like this.. you will be stunned." "Yes.. you do a new drama everyday.." "..and all my sarees will be ruined everyday." "You wasted six sarees in Draupadi's clothes removal scene." "Did you father send these sarees?" "Don't talk about my father, I will tell you." "That's it.." "I said it to his mouth." "Why should I keep silent?" "We fought a lot that night." "The next day.." "..he bought three new sarees for me." "Wow.. the daughter-in-law of such.." "..a rich household has to work for two times food?" "Work?" "What kind of work?" "So, don't they pay you anything?" "They will just give you food?" "Work?" "Food?" "What are you saying?" "What work do I do?" "Yes.. you take care of this child all through the day." "You bathe him, feed him, clothe him.." "..and then you go with him for a stroll." "Is this all not work?" "Is this some work?" "I play with this toy all the time." "I have my own house, my relatives.." "Yes, relatives.." "Today, when the child has to be taken care of.." "..they remembered their relatives, isn't it?" "See, I don't understand what you are saying." "How can I make you understand?" "Sir and madam, both go to work." "They need someone to look after the child, isn't it?" "A maid will take at least thirty rupees." "The food and clothes are different." "Calling you aunt, both of them save their money." "They had brought someone else before you too." "They called her aunt too." "But she was very smart." "She understood everything." "She ate food, took the clothes." "And she took a salary too." "She got a nice job soon." "She left." "Relatives.. relations.." "Iove.." "all of them are priced, god." "Everything has started to be sold." "The old woman seems good." "She takes care of the child too." "If only, she stays.." "She will stay." "She will surely stay." "Just speak to her and call her aunt." "And take sweets everyday." "She won't go anywhere." "But you had brought some old woman before too." "Did we not look after her?" "That old woman was very intelligent." "Oh god." "We got time to come to a restaurant after so long!" "Because of this Pinky, we had to rush home at six." "Will you do something?" " Yes." "Give the old woman ten to twelve rupees every week." "Are you crazy?" "You want to show the cat the vat of milk?" "You will give her ten today, tomorrow.." "..she will ask for twenty and then twenty five." "I ask you, instead of giving her money.." "..why don't we buy a refrigerator on installments with the same?" "We could never buy a refrigerator till today." "Really." "The expenses are so much.." "What is it?" "Why are you smiling?" "Nothing." " It is something." "I was thinking." "You are pretty smart in trapping old women." "Who is it?" "Where have you come from?" "Does Mr. Arun Gupta reside here?" "Yes." "He does." "But he isn't here at this time." "He is in his office." " Yes, I know." "I know that he is in the office at this time." "I am his brother." " Brother.." " I am his uncle's son." "The woman.. widow.." "Anandidevi.. does she stay here?" "Yes, she does." "Can I meet her?" "Come inside and have a seat." "I will call her." " Okay." "Aunty.. aunty.. you didn't recognize me?" "You didn't recognize me." "How will you recognize me?" "You saw me when I was very young." "How will you recognize me?" "You saw me when I was very young." "Your aunty's brother-in-law.." "I am his relative's son." "Jatin." "Jotu!" "It's all right." "How did you find out about me?" "I went to your village." "I found out that you came to meet Arun." "So, I came to meet you too." " Did you have any work with me?" "No." "I didn't have any work." "Can I sit, aunty?" " Sit." "Are you married?" " Yes, Neelu." "I mean, my wife's name." "Do you have children?" " Yes, I have a daughter." "Does your wife call you by your name?" "Jotu.. she calls me Jotu.." "Your wife has done BA, and goes to the office?" "Yes, she has done her MA." "But how do you know?" "Your wife, whom you call Neelu, she must have sent you to me." "She must have said, our poor aunty.." "We don't know how she is spending her days in the village." "Go.. go and bring her." "She will stay with us.." "like a mother." "Yes, you are right." "Neelu said.." "Didn't I tell you what Neelu said?" " Yes.." "People call strangers their own, when their own are fake." "I have learnt about ours and others coming to the city." "Yes.. that is right.." "that has to happen." "As it is.. you have come.." "my relative.. my own.." "What salary will you give me?" "Salary?" "You mean.. money.." "Wow.. you wife and husband will go to work." "You will see the bioscope, and stroll around." "I will take care of your daughter all day." "Won't you pay me anything for that?" "You are my relative, you are my aunt." "I know, son." "My blood aunt, her real brother-in-law.." "..his in- law's son.. right?" "What will you pay me?" "Fifteen.." "No.. not fifteen." "Twenty rupees." "Okay, I will pay you twenty." "You will give me food and clothes." "Is it something to be said to our own?" "All right.." " Don't say all right wrongly." "Go home, and speak to Neelu at night and ask her." "If she agrees, come at this time." "Don't come on a holiday." "My relatives are at home." "Okay." "Greetings, aunty." " Bless you." "Greetings." "Hey.. hey.. give me ten paise." " I don't have it, son.." "Please." "Give me some food. - Didn't I tell you I don't have it." "See, my pant is torn, get me a new one." "Didn't I tell you that I don't have anything?" "If you don't have anything, come on.. we will beg together." "What?" "We will beg?" " Yes!" "Hey, Babu.. come here.." "Did you eat?" "Go to Rambharose and take biscuits from him." "Tell him my name." "And listen, take them for Tini too." "Shyam.. where are you off to?" "That Manu and Billy had gone to college in the morning." "They haven't returned as yet." "College?" "The college is closed, there is a strike." "Silent.. silent.. silent.." "Why have you come here?" "What do you want?" "Give us the dates." "When will our examination take place?" "We will tell you when the dates arrive." "But all the other colleges have information." "But we didn't get any information." "And if you want to know more, go to the university." "Nobody speaks to us nicely there." "They speak to us like peons." "I am not responsible for that." "Go.. go away from here." "Then you tell us, what should we do?" "Go and study, what else will you do?" "But where should we study?" "The college is closed always." "There is a strike all the time." "You are the people who make these strikes." "The principal is not responsible for this." "We don't keep strikes, we are forced to strike!" "I don't know all that." "You get out.. just get out." "Is it?" "This is it?" "Come on.. there will be no bamboo and no flute." "We don't want the college which don't keep classes." "Come on!" "Come on!" "Break it!" "Break it!" "Destroy it!" "This is the principal speaking." "Yes, immediately." "Send the police immediately." "Send them right now." "Or else, they will destroy all the furniture." "Police!" "Police!" "Billu.." "Billu.. come on.. they have called the police." "Where is Tinu?" " He has left a long while back." "He must already have reached." "Tell me, son." "Where will you go now?" "Where will he go?" "Come on.." "take him to the worms." "Billu.." "I tell you.. this is not the time to fight.." "Come on.." "Billu.." "Billu.." " You go away if you want to." "Four for one.." "I will teach you a lesson.." "Shyam, while we were returning from the college.." "That Raghu and all.." "they took him away!" "Where did they go?" "Where?" "Towards Keedgang." "I told him a lot." "That they are too many." "Let us run away." "But does he listen to anyone?" "Okay." "You reach there with Vanmali and Kusal." "I'll meet you on the side street." "Neelu.. hold this bomb." "Nobody will do anything till I don't say so." "Okay?" "Chainu!" "Where is my pistol?" "Chainu.. come out if you are your father's son." "Face me like a man if you want to challenge me." "Let me see how strong you are!" "There are some people here too." "They have bombs." "Shall I come in, or will you come out?" "Very good, Shyam.." "Shyam!" "Chainu.. if you hit Billu once more.." "Remember.. all the bullets in this pistol will be in your head." "Chainu.. your remember, I went to prison for you once." "You remember that, don't you?" "My whole life changed and was ruined because of you." "But this time.." "I will not go to prison." "I will kill you and be hanged." "Raghu.." "Let him go!" "Come on.. fool." "If you do this the next time.." "..I will tie you myself." "Chainu.." "I don't like this fighting anymore." "Leave it.. forget this enmity." "Shyam.." "Even I have a gun." "You are fortunate.." "..that I don't have it with me right now." "Keep it near you the next time." "Life in this locality is difficult." "Someone takes them, or they bring someone."

"We go home just twice." "Like one.." "..has to go to the police station to present himself." "Who will listen to everything?" "People call us thieves and dacoits." "Okay, grandma.. tell me.. do we seem to be dacoits to you?" "Yes.. you do seem dacoits to me." "What?" "We seem dacoits?" "Yes, dacoits are like you." "Handsome, smiling.."

"Himmat Singh says that he saw him coming here." "See.. you search here.." "and you search here.." "And see.. who is upstairs?" "Upstairs?" "Just my wife." "Oh.." "Did you keep your eyes in the safe?" "I was afraid inside." "Then is a marriage procession standing outside?" "Didn't you hear that a big dacoit is roaming outside?" "But the door was closed, how did he come inside?" "And the walls are not that low too." "A person who has escaped prison.." "..do you think that these walls will be a great deal for him?" "Please come and look inside." "Maybe he is hiding below the bed." "No.. he isn't someone hide beneath the cot." "He will sit on the bosom of a person." "Anyway.. be careful." "I will go to inform my superiors." "He will come and look at it himself." "This isn't my cup of tea." "Oh god.." "I almost died today." "Brother.. brother.." "Please come out.."

"You told him about life without any reason." "You have ruined my whole life." "If I hadn't married.." "..I would have joined your party with you." "You don't need to join my party to work." "You can do a lot by staying in the house too." "What are you saying, sir?" "What can be done from home?" "Just what you did right now." "Was this something small?" "Come on.." "I will leave you outside the village." "No, you please wait here." "It will.." "..be dangerous for you to come with me." "It will be better if I leave from here in the night." "The government said that my brother was a dacoit." "And the people called him an Indian dacoit." "He was a revolutionary." "He died for the country." "They were so handsome.." "like you." "Simple.. with an attitude.." "and rascally too!" "Come on, get up.. it is too late in the night." "Why, Shyam?" "You will not go home?" "I stay here most of the time." "Babbu and Tini get scared alone." "I am here now." "You go home now." "Your people must be worrying about you." "Nobody worries about me, grandmother." "Yes, you will say so and I will believe it." "Will we not worry if you don't come here one day?" "Come on, grandma.." "..we will go to your village with Babbu and Tini." "Will you come with me?" "Come on, son." "I have a garden." "It is enough." "It is useless for me alone." "Come on.. our village is better than this city." "What is it?" "Why are you silent?" "No, grandma.." "I will have to live here." "I will have to live here till the end." "I will have to fight, I will have to survive." "In the evening.. after office." "Boat.." "Boat club.." "Boat club.." "What an idiot?" "Can't you hear?"

"Catch them.. catch them.." "catch them..!" "Catch him, don't let him escape.." "You have much guts.." "you run very well." "Therefore he has come sitting on a horse!" "Let us give water to the horse." "We will reap later." "Do you forget that day already?" "Just because we left you?" "Your father must have left me!" "Let me see who saves you today." "Come on, horse.. drink the horse water!" "Careful." "He is weak.. if you apply undue pressure.." "..he will lose his life." "Doesn't matter.." "This time.. if I don't have you tied to a horse and run.." "Then you tell me." "Leave him.. he has started crying." "Wash.. wash his face quickly." "See, grandma is coming." "Throw the fool into the water." "You are saved because of grandma today." "What happened to you, son?" "Nothing.." " Did you fall down?" "Didn't I tell you, nothing?" "Do you have a sprain in your leg?" "Or have you fought?" "Come on.." "get up." "Come with me." "Come on.." " Very good.. very good.." "Come on.." "This will be all right till tomorrow." "This salve." "It takes all the pain away." "My mother-in-law told this to me." "You tell your mother-in-law." "One saree was helpful to the son." "Who will bring any more for me?" "This is Shyam's den, Chainu." "Pandey, Danny, you stay here." "Chainu.." "Raghu's shirt." "He was wearing this." "Chainu.." "Billu.. and there were two more too." "Is he your friend?" "Come, have a seat." "Where is Shyam?" "See, child." "These people fight amongst themselves." "You are elder to them." "Why don't you tell them?" "I don't know what they are angry about on each other." "They won't fight if you convince them." "Where is Shyam?" "He has gone to the doctor with Bittu." "When he comes, tell him that Chainu had come." "If he is so angry, let him come and attack me." "He can do whatever he wants to." "But if he ever touches any of my boys.." "..I will blast the whole of the locality." "Son.. don't say like this.." "I didn't do anything till now." "The day I do something.." "Oh god.. why do you speak of increasing the fight?" "See, I am like your mother." "Even though.." "..you are my son, how will I tolerate it if you fight?" "Come on.." "Don't walk a lot." "Give your leg some rest." "Very good.. shall we go to the tonga now?" "Come on.." "Very good." "Hey, hey mister.." "I have stopped this tonga." "You go and search for some other tonga." "You speak very loudly, are you new in this city?" "Then.. are you the sheriff in this city?" "Whom are you.." "Come on.. have a seat." "Come on.." "If only I had someone.." "Whom I could say was mine.." "If not near.. somewhere far.." "But someone mine.." "If only I had someone.." "Whom I could say was mine.." "If not near.. somewhere far.." "But someone mine.." "I wouldn't have slept in my eyes." "There would just be tears." "We would have woken and dreamt all night." "I wouldn't have slept in my eyes." "There would just be tears."

"If I would have someone of my own.." "Whom I could say was mine.." "If not near.. somewhere far.." "But someone mine.." "Oh grandma.. you.." "Are we not yours?" "Is a mother one's own.." "..only if she gives birth to you?" "Grandma.. if I didn't think you to be my own.." "..would I stop you from going back to your village?" "Then.. what were you saying?" "I would have someone own.." "That is just a song." "I wasn't telling it to you." "Then, to whom were you saying?" "Is it some girl?" "It is someone, isn't it?" "Are you hiding it from me?" "Tell me." "No, grandma." "There is no one." "There wasn't and there will never be." "And the one who was.." "Urmi.. if you don't come tomorrow.." "..I will directly kidnap you from college." "Why don't you understand, Shyam, how will I come?" "Just like how you came today, in a tonga." "Or else, shall I bring for a marriage procession?" "And what should I tell father?" "Tell him that I am going to search for a son-in-law for you." "Yes, keep joking." "You'd come to know how.." "..difficult it is to leave home if you were a woman." "I am scared of father, and then brother.." "And then the smallest, he is so smart." "Who is afraid of them?" " Are you abusing my brothers?" "No.." "I am not.. if they are not my brother-in-laws.." "..then they might become one." "Okay I'll leave now." "but you will come tomorrow, isn't it?" " Yes." "Okay." "Bye." " Let's go." "Shyam.. on the road?" "Chainu!" "How are you?" "I am all right." "Tell me, who was she?" "What was her name?" "She lives in the next building." "She studies with me." "You are having fun." "Please admit me in college too." "Oh very well, get admitted." "A bell ringer is needed." "So what?" "At least I will get something!" "There is a program in the valley tomorrow evening." "Are you there?" "Tomorrow evening.." "I am busy." "Okay." "I know what your work is.." "Shyam.. why are you angry with me?" "I didn't tell father to be transferred." "When is he going?" " Next week." "He was saying that it is some emergency." "Everyone?" " Yes." "Shyam.. you will come, isn't it?" "Where, Lucknow?" " Why?" "What do you mean by why?" "Will you not come to meet me?" "I will come.. surely, I will come." "As soon.." "..as the examinations are done, I.." "..will look out for some job, so that.." "..I can ask your father for you in marriage." "Shyam.." "Will you forget me?" "You are talking as if in films." "No, promise me." " Okay, I promise." "And promise me one more thing." " What?" "You.. you.." " What is it?" "You will not talk to Susheela." "But she is your best friend." "Yes, she is my friend, but she looks at you in that way." "In that way?" "Which way?" "In love?" "In the way that you look at me?" "Didn't I tell you, you will not talk to her after I leave?" "Okay, I won't.. mad girl." "Wow.. you are having fun all alone?" "Chainu.. go away from here.." "This is the limit.." "will you have such.." "..a beautiful dish all alone?" " Chainu!"

"I was in prison for fifteen days." "But those fifteen days were enough.." "..to ruin the rest of my life." " And that girl?" "Did you ever meet her?" "Yes, I met her." "I went to Lucknow to meet her." "Her father was arranging for her marriage." "I gathered some guts and went to ask her hand in marriage." "He chucked me out of the house." "He said.."

"Chainu made his group to take revenge." "I made my group." "People hated me in the beginning." "They taunted me." "But they don't say anything now." "Nobody says anything now." "Julie.."

"I am a kingmaker in the city." "Have you heard about Anokhelal?" "He cannot sit in the parliament without me." "Then why don't you sit there yourself?" "Yes darling, if a thumb print could work.." "..I would have sat in the parliament today." "But an education is necessary for that." "And that is what I don't like.." "Now.." "I like just one thing.. money!" "And it is good that one doesn't need.." "..to study to recognize money." "They can be recognized by color." "Tens, hundred, thousands." "Why do you keep this in your pockets?" "This is not for you."

"I am tired if I walk even two steps." "There is some problem in the eyes too." "They may fool me this time too." "If I could marry you, the child would have support." "But I couldn't do anything for you." "I couldn't keep anything for you too." "When your mother left, I tried a lot.." "..that you shouldn't feel for a mother." "But I don't know.. what was missing in me.." "I couldn't make you a proper human too." "The husk also gets grounded along with the wheat." "This is an old matter." "Now, say that.."

"Where is the Sri before this?" "Write that here." "See, this is India." "If you don't write Sri before the names.." "..one will never earn any respect." "Chainu.. 'canvance' people to vote for me in this election." "Not 'canvance', convincing.." "Yes.. do whatever he does.." "But in such a way.. that is should be fun.."

"Sir.. not does not.. do not.." "I know English." "But the whole thing is that.." "The force of does.." "doesn't exist in do." "Listen, Chainu.. see.. you went to the prison so many times." "You went to the court so many times.." "Didn't I save you?" " That is just it, sir.." "I am ready to give my life for you even today." "That is the fun." "That is called tit for tat." "You do something for us, we will do something for you." "But the problem is, why doesn't.." "..the public sympathize with me?" "See, whether they sympathize or not.."
