"Sukhdevwould cometo the city and spendthenight atmy placesometimes." "Somebodyinformedthepolice about this and I was arrested." "I thought theywanted to ask about Sukhdev... but the first thing they did was to break my hand... so that I won'tbe ableto hold apen again." "Thosebastards don't know that apoem is not written with a pen... but with thefire thatburns in thewriter." "And myfirestill burns as brightly as ever." "Are you Jagtar Singh Taari?" "Yes." "Are you theonewho wrote a song "A Mother awaits..."" "What is that?" "It's apoem written by Taari." "I had recited itat aget together in my college once." "Pleaseask me also."

"When my father pleaded with him... hesaid that he will letmego... if I apologise to his son in front of all thestudents." "I agreed." "I went to college thenext day to do so." "Butthen that boy put this condition... thatl should accept that girl as my sister." "So I thrashed him again." "Then I was arrested and tortured for amonth." "I do notunderstand that even though I have been wronged justlike you... why does my story sound comic?" "Why don't you laugh out loud if you wish to!" "Let me confess onething." "Though I laugh thesethings away." "But to tell you thetruth theytortured meruthlesslyin that onemonth." "They used to startbeating meup after getting drunk every evening... and usedto continuetill morning." "I usedto be so scared..." "I felt like an impotent." "Sometimes, I wished for death so that all that pain would end..." "Once I even attempted to kill myself... its ok Pinda." "Thereis no needto get embarrassed." "Theirtortureis so painful that death seems likea relief." "I want to return home... mother must be worried..." "it has been so long."

"No, not in thenight." "Why?" "Why shouldwego in the night?" "Are wethieves or robbers that we should go there stealthily?" "Pindais right... wecan go back home only when itis dark..." "What is there to getupset aboutShiva." "Why shouldn't I beupset?" "Crimes havebeen committed by them and we are being treated as criminals... theykilled my father saying he was aterrorist... is thatjustice?" "This is my home, my village... my land, my country then why should I be hiding?" "Thereis athin line between bravery and stupidity." "Maybel am being stupid." "But to megoingto homein the dark means thatl am a criminal... and I am scared of Rana." "I do notagree to it... my selfrespect is importantto me." "Theymay break me physically or kill me... but they cannot kill my self-respect... if you wish you may go but I don't want to go back homelike this."

"Does it mean thatwecan never return to our homes, brother?" "Why not!" "Wewill all go to our homes onceweachieveself-rule." "However, thatself-rule cannot come withoutsacrifice." "When I had chosen this path..." "I hadtold my familyto forget that they had a son named Sukhdev." "It has been three years thatl havebeen away." "My children do notknow whether I am alive or dead." "I will seethedoor of my house onlywhen we haveearned Khalistan." "Rest depends on God's will." "Butthereis nobody athome to take careofthe family..." "I needto arrange for my sister's wedding."

"Please sit brother you have come for conference." "Wehavenot gathered here to fight amongst ourselves... but to direct this movement in theright direction." "My apology Gyan Singh Ji... but futuregets its orientation from thepresent only." "I strongly condemn thekilling... of Hindus after pulling them out from thebuses." "This incident has shamed all ofus." "Really?" "Didn't you feel ashamed when Sikhs were killed in Delhi..." "No accused has been punishedtill today... you never complained against that... we also regret this act but mind you... when a giant tree falls theearth is bound to shake." "What happened in 1984 was not donebythe peopleof any religion... but by politicians and the people instigated by them." "Ifwedo thesame... therewould belittle differencebetween us andthem." "Wecan fightthis war without weapons... bytalkingto the Central governmentin Delhi." "Now you aretalking about whatreally interests you." "If you depend on Delhi government... please know that Delhi is friend to none." "A governmenthas too manyhands and it wants to shakeonewith us too." "Butunlike you, wecannot be friends with murderers." "Bewarned Boolpuriya Sahib!" "Thespirit ofrevolution treats a traitorworse than the enemy." "Why don't you guys say anything?" "Your suspicion is justified... but so farit is nothing morethan amere suspicion." "Meaning?" "Talwandi has not claimed responsibility forthis act." "Rather he was expressing regret over this event." "He is lying." "Who else could havedone it." "People likeShamsher, Gyan Singh and Boolporiya arenot likethat." "Only the daredevils can do it." "I agree to whatShiva says." "This massacrewas carried out by Talwandi only." "What are your orders then, brother?" "Such peopleare not good for our movement." "I got your pointbrother." "I will sendtwo morepersons with you." "You might needthem." "Ok brother." "Taari?" "Ok." "I am with you Shiva... but only for your friendship... not forthecauseofrevolution."

"Thank You Young man!" "What are you waiting for Shiva?" "Shoot him... hurryup." "Shoothim." "God!" "I hadthought that I will shoot Talwandi with my own hands... but I do not know whyl couldn't do it." "Itmeans that you still retain some nobility inside you... someinalienable good." "Noblepeople do not go around shooting people." "When did it become so easy for us to kill peopleindiscriminately!" "This gun is like an addiction my friend!" "It gives you the illusion ofbeing God." "We did not comehere to become Gods." "Wecame hereto fight forour rights... the right to live with dignity, to plough ourfields freely." "Theright to write..." "to sow poems fearlessly... theright to wear the saffron turban." "Therightto keep our mothers happy... the right to return to our homes fearlessly." "Shiva... shouldwego home once?" "Yes!" "I want to go thereonce." "Wemight reach home... broken and fractured like Pinda, but at least we will behome." "We will go home, will takea dip in theriver... will situnder the shadeoftheoldtree... justlike you had written in yourpoem." "Someoneconvey my message to the riverthat flows in my village..." "I will return to dive in it onceagain... in the form of ashes in an urn." "Someoneconvey my message to the riverthat flows in my village..." "I will return to dive in it onceagain... in the form of ashes in an urn." "It is a wonder." "When timeis good for you, everythingworks out." "No." "No, it's not that easy." "Onehas to maneuver and manipulate to fulfill one's interest." "Ifgoodthings could happen just likethat... it could havehappened to Talwandi also." "Seehow I gotrid of thebishop using amere pawn." "This pawn had become presumptuous and had started to think too much." "Do not worry son!"
