"They've no respect for the detail." "Even for a dead man." "I am sorry, Henry." "We'll issue a clarification." "You know, as a Hindu I can understand." "The people at the press believe that all dead, normally find emancipation by burning." "And come to think of it." "When you're dead, you're simply dead." "It's only when you're alive you make all the difference to the world." "In life, life counts..." " Mr. Gandhi, please." "Don't condone a serious lapse with religious abstractions." "In the future, I think I will sit right by the printing machine and check all my own articles." "Henry." "Maybe you can also join us in turning the wheel." "Kastur!" "Kastur!" "Mr. Calinburg." " Yes." "Can you please finish this today?" "I will do my best, Mrs. Gandhi." "Thank you." "Kastur!" "Out there in that press, do you throw colour on each other?" "Not at all... just black printing ink; we work very hard and it's hot extremely hot out there" "Anyway, there's a letter from Rajkot" "From Hari?" "How is he?" " He is fine, having fun" "I erred in my judgement Kastur, shouldn't have left him alone in Rajkot" "I warned you, but you wanted him to stay there to get an education in our mother tongue." "But no school teaches that here" "Why go to school for education?" "He can learn everything here in Phoenix" "See, your disciples have arrived" "Manilal, Ramdas, Devdas, three sons, three fine examples of your education" "All day, they're working in the fields, minding the cows, kneading dough, nursing the sick or singing prayers; what are our children becoming?" "You heap worry upon worry" "But our children need formal education" "Hard work, self control, compassion, selfless service these are values no school can provide" "School teaches learning by rote." "It does not build character" "I've heard this before" "See you later at the prayer meeting, Mr. Gandhi." "By the way, Harilal is getting married" "Really?" "He just informed me." "No permission sought" "He knows you'd surely object, won't you?" "Marriage, at such a young age?" "What's the hurry?" "Well, we got married when we were 13." "You were in quite a hurry then" "I still regret it." " What!" "No, I mean, it was wrong on the part of our parents, considering our age" "Listen" "It is you who chose Gulab for Hari" "You got them engaged four years ago" "How long can they wait?" "Kastur, you know my views well" "Even so, if... he insists on marrying against my wishes, then so be it" "But I, his father... must then... stop thinking of Harilal as my son" "Look into the camera." "Smile." "Don't move, please" "Smile." "Your father has not disowned you." "He's disappointed, that's all" "I don't know, Gulab." "I want to educate myself, to become a barrister, like him." "Yet," "I don't know why, he is the one I fear the most" "Just see the good in him, in what he does, not what he speaks" "When he sees your determination, your hard work, all else will become past and irrelevant" "Gulab, I want to be here with you for the birth of our first child" "Long way to go, at least five months" "Shall I stay till then?"
