Who's there?
Look at that!
Hey!
That girl won't leave
any fruit on the trees!
That orchard wasn't free.
We paid good money for it.
I've said all along,
"If we want any fruit left,
we'll have to fence it in."
So many thieves in this village!
- What happened?
It's Harihar's little brat!
She doesn't leave
The moment I turn my back,
she steals it!
- What did she take?
- I saw her take a guava.
Who knows what else?
- Why don't you talk to them?
- Talk to whom?
Who would listen to me anyway?
She's not my daughter.
If her own mother doesn't care,
what's it matter
what you or I say?
Her mother will learn
when the whole village
turns against her.
It's just bad upbringing.
Children learn
what they're taught.
Shall I carry that for you?
No, thank you.
Why not let me help?
Can you manage?
Yes.
Oh, dear.
I forgot to save some for you.
Wait.
Durga.
Come along.
She's doing no harm.
Let her stay.
Come here!
Go on. She's calling you.
Run along to your mother.
Right now!
What did you take
from Mrs. Mukherjee's orchard?
Tell me.
What are you hiding?
Show me!
Take it back.
And sweep the yard
when you come back.
Auntie.
You realize the harm
you're doing the girl?
- What do you mean?
- Need I tell you?
Who eats that fruit?
What fruit?
- She's just a child -
- But you're not.
Have you no sense?
Who do you think you are?
Think you can do as you please
because we put you up?
I know you too well.
- What a lot of nonsense!
Must I spell it out?
Haven't you been stealing
from my kitchen?
Oil, salt, chilies?
Shall I look in your box?
Well?
Why don't you answer?
You can't stay here
and carry on like this.
Maybe you should go
somewhere else.
I'm fed up.
It's been eight years,
and I won't take any more.
You corrupt my daughter,
and I get the blame.
I won't allow it.
I don't need this bother
at my age.
Out of the way!
Auntie, where are you going?
Auntie!
Durga, come here.
Let go!
Durga, come here!
Did you give it back?
What else did I tell you to do?
Where have you been,
Auntie Indir?
At Raju's.
about Hari's new son.
I was on my way
when this child came to get me.
We met on the road.
Go in and see
Where's the little darling?
Auntie, you're back at last.
Take the blanket off
so I can have a good look.
The little darling!
What a little darling!
Bulbuls have eaten the rice
How shall I pay the tax?
Baby shall ride in a boat
And wear red shoes
Who dares say his skin is dark?
Ten...
11, 12...
13...
Sleep, golden one
I'll send for the goldsmith
To make you a gold chain
- What are you cooking?
- Can't you see?
A sumptuous feast.
What else?
You should one day.
Or have you forgotten how?
I have.
Too bad.
our son's first mouthful of rice.
With what money?
I start work
for Mr. Ray next month.
Really?
I saw Nilmoni today.
He said Mr. Ray gave his word.
- Did you ask about the pay?
- I'm not worried.
Besides, I'm not going
He can't make me
his bonded slave.
That money and the fees
for my services as a priest
will keep the family
going for now.
Besides, there are always
good times and bad.
Things are going well.
The boy was born in January,
and you found work in the spring.
That's why
to celebrate in style
and save face
with the neighbors.
Besides,
they'll all praise your cooking.
That's something, isn't it?
Will he pay regularly?
Why wouldn't he?
Ray's a good man.
Who's to say
who's good and who's not?
People are always cheating you.
Like when?
Didn't they steal the orchard
They said my brother owed them
money when he was alive.
The orchard satisfied that debt.
We'd have no worries
if we still had that orchard.
Mangoes, rose apples, coconuts.
They pick sackfuls of our fruit,
but if Durga takes
They're moneylenders,
and I'm a scholar.
in this godforsaken village?
Listen to what I'm writing now:
New and original plays
and poems.
When word gets around,
the traveling troupes
will come in droves.
Where else can they get
new material?
Original plays don't grow on trees.
Other writers just rehash
the same old stuff.
If that's acceptable,
won't the original works
of Harihar Ray be as well?
Of course.
And as a scholar,
you'll be respected in the village.
What could be better?
You'll educate the boy...
give him his sacred thread,
teach him to worship the gods.
Durga will find a good husband.
Two good meals a day,
what more could we want?
We'll have all that and more.
My ancestors were writers,
after all.
They left a legacy
that can't be ignored.
Just wait two years.
My debts will be paid off
and the house repaired,
and you won't have to fix
spinach and rice every day!
How about that?
Apu! Aren't you up yet?
Apu, aren't you going
to school?
Wake up.
Durga.
Durga, get Apu up.
He has to get ready for school.
Only half a pot, ma'am.
Are you feeding the cow enough?
Apu, get up.
"Deep in the heart of Janasthan..."
Hey!
Why are you getting up again?
How many more times
must you dampen your eraser?
Sit down.
"Deep in the heart of Janasthan..."
Puti, what do you want?
Hand over the money.
"...stands the mighty
mountain Prasravan...
its lofty summit...
crowned
by ever drifting clouds...
that ceaseless gales...
urge along
the pathways of the sky..."
How are you, Prasanna?
Welcome, Mr. Majumdar!
Dear me!
It's a trap to kill people!
- Hello there.
- How's everything?
Just fine.
Come in, come in.
You've spread quite a net, eh?
How many little fish
have you caught now?
There were eight.
A new boy just arrived.
