Yes.

You're probably angry

I didn't mention it before.

Why should I be angry?

I was very happy for you

when I heard.

Rotting away in one place

year after year

does no one any good.

It makes a person

petty and mean.

That's what it's done to me.

Perhaps I'll go

on a pilgrimage to Chandranath.

I'll see what my husband says.

Khoka!

Don't trouble yourself

on our account.

Please sit down.

I've been confined to bed

for a month and a half

from indigestion,

so I couldn't come see you.

Chakravarti tells me...

you're moving to Benares.

- That's right.

We're leaving tomorrow at dawn.

You're leaving tomorrow?

Harihar...

are you doing the right thing?

You're Rajkeshto's son,

Tarkalankar's grandson.

Your family has lived here

for three generations.

We village elders

are still around.

You could have

discussed it with us.

What good

would that have done?

Look at the house.

I have no means to repair it.

Perhaps with your help

I'd have raised some money,

but how long can this go on?

It's been a long time -

almost 15 years -

and I still haven't

paid back your loans.

Maybe I can pay them off

by selling a few of these things.

All my plans came to nothing.

I wanted to be a writer.

Look at these.

Eaten up by woodworms.

I hoped to educate my boy.

That came to nothing.

And my little girl slipped away.

It's best to go. Sometimes one

must leave one's ancestral home.

At least in the city

I can scrape by

reciting scriptures and narrating tales.

But you'll be back sometime, right?

Satyajit Ray

Satyajit Ray (Bengali: [ˈʃɔt̪ːodʒit̪ ˈrai̯] ( listen); 2 May 1921 – 23 April 1992) was an Indian filmmaker, screenwriter, graphic artist, music composer and author, widely regarded as one of the greatest filmmakers of the 20th century. Ray was born in the city of Calcutta into a Bengali Brahmo family of Bengali Kayastha origin which was prominent in the field of arts and literature. Starting his career as a commercial artist, Ray was drawn into independent filmmaking after meeting French filmmaker Jean Renoir and viewing Vittorio De Sica's Italian neorealist film Bicycle Thieves (1948) during a visit to London. Ray directed 36 films, including feature films, documentaries and shorts. He was also a fiction writer, publisher, illustrator, calligrapher, music composer, graphic designer and film critic. He authored several short stories and novels, meant primarily for young children and teenagers. Feluda, the sleuth, and Professor Shonku, the scientist in his science fiction stories, are popular fictional characters created by him. He was awarded an honorary degree by Oxford University. Ray's first film, Pather Panchali (1955), won eleven international prizes, including the inaugural Best Human Document award at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival. This film, along with Aparajito (1956), and Apur Sansar (The World of Apu) (1959) form The Apu Trilogy. Ray did the scripting, casting, scoring, and editing, and designed his own credit titles and publicity material. Ray received many major awards in his career, including 32 Indian National Film Awards, a Golden Lion, a Golden Bear, 2 Silver Bears, a number of additional awards at international film festivals and award ceremonies, and an Academy Honorary Award in 1992. The Government of India honored him with the Bharat Ratna, its highest civilian award, in 1992. more…
