Manjhi: The Mountain Man Page #3

Synopsis: Dashrath Manjhi was a poor man from the lowest of the low castes, living in a remote village cut off from the world by a rocky mountain range. Life for him was a daily struggle for survival. He loved his wife, Phaguniya, beyond belief. One day, while climbing the mountain to bring him food, his wife slipped, fell and died. Overwhelmed by grief, Dashrath decided to carve out a path through the mountain, so that no one else would suffer his fate. For 22 years, all by himself, with just a hammer and a chisel, he hammered away at the rocks, till the path was carved out from the mountain.

Fine.

You won't see me any more.

"Phaguniya... Phaguniya...

my heart to show you.

Get away.

Look...

For you.

A soft, soft pillow...

If we sleep with our heads together

on it-it will be so much fun!

Why get a pillow? Get a

stone to break my head instead.

When you are angry,

you get wild...

Don't touch me.

Why? I am your husband.

If I don't touch you who will?

You think I am some lemon tree?

Squeeze it whenever you wish?

OK. I made a mistake.

I lost my head.

If anyone touches you,

can I just sit and watch?

L-low many will you beat up Dashrath'?

Ivlukhia, the land lord,

the merchant, priest?! Who all...

Everyone has an evil eye.

Whoever looks at you with

an evil eye l'll pull his eyes out.

To hell...

I'll come with you.

We'll play pillow games.

Where are you going in the dark?

Some wolf will eat you.

Atleast I'll be rid of you.

A scorpion will bite you

I don't want to talk to you.

Listen, Phaghuniya.

Forgive me.

Stop or I will jump off from here.

ls that why you eloped with me?

If anything happens to you,

After few years when I

went back to Gehlore

I heard he was still breaking

the mountain

I was amazed

& felt like meeting this crazy man.

Are you Dashrath Ivlanjhi?

L-low are you'?

Great! Fantastic! Alive!

I'm a journalist.

Name is Alok Jha

I write for the "Bharat Samachar"

newspaper...

Heard you've been breaking

this mountain for years.

Why?

DiQQing my own grave...

You are joking...

What should I say?

That I'm making a Taj Ivlahal?

You are offended.

Everyone says that I'm a mad man.

Wasting my life...

You don't waste your time.

It is an internal wound.

Till I break this mountain...

It won't heal.

You have taken on a big task...

OK...

Let me know when

you are finished...

I'll print

your photo in the newspaper.

Trying to be a well wisher'?

Then come.

I end me a hand...

Hold her... hurry.

The baby is coming out!

Hold her in water.

Careful... careful...

Call her husband! Hurry!

What happened?

Don't shout! Hold her.

Breath heavily, once more...

Once more...

What are you doing?

Dear Goddess.

One request...

Give me one daughter just like you.

Then you can take my life.

Get lost.

Melodrama!

It has been a long time...

I really want to...

Let's play pillow games.

Your games lead

to my bloated belly.

Nothing to eat &

wants to breed a battalion!

Don't worry

I got work across the mountain.

Once the daughter is born.

We will go to the city

and earn a lot.

We'll make our son an officer

and daughter a teacher!

Life will sparkle.

Come on...

Now when we go to the city.

My baby...

I will take you to the city.

So you'll never

need to climb a mountain...

You wont need to

stay in the dark...

We'll eat good food.

Drink sweet water.

And have a lot of fun my baby.

Dash rath!

Your wife has fallen

from the mountain!

What happened, Phaguniya?

The mountain was too high

I couldn't climb it

I slipped.

Doctor. .

Hold on, don't give up.

Soon we'll reach the hospital.

Move! Move!

Where is the doctor?

We couldn't save her...

But your daughter is saved.

You think you are too big?

Too powerful?

Very proud?

It's an illusion...

Watch! Hovv I break

your arrogance!

You ruined my whole life...

I will break you.

You watch the show now!

Your game is over...

Must admit.

He is true to his word...

He's cut the climb

by at least an hour.

So Dashrath?

L-low m uch longer'?

Till I break it.

The brave one!

Keep it up kid!

When you finish the road,

We'll name it after you.

Rajkumaria...

l-low many times have I told you

not to climb the mountain.

You may break your leg...

get hurt...

What will I tell your mother then?

Mother has gone to God's house.

You eat quietly.

Stop this tomfoolery!

Enough!

Driving me crazy!

Can't you see?

Do I take care of myself...

or your kids?

Listen...

Get married again.

Or find some work

& look after your kids.

Don't ever talk

about a second marriage.

What will I tell Phaguniya?

Moron! She is dead.

Not for me.

And regarding work...

Now this is my work.

What will you feed your kids?

These rocks?

and feed them rocks!

I can't handle your kids
