no ponds or canals here!

What about you?

I bathe on alternative

days in the bathroom

Look at the old Bengali

lecher ogling!

When I change dress, he peeks..

What did you say?

A British teacher is coming tomorrow

To teach Kamala English

Come on!

Answer my questions!

Kamala!

I don't know stories.

This teacher does not

know any stories!

Listen here..

Next question.

Who is the author of Julius Caesar'?

Who is that?

Krishna, do you remember

when I saw you first?

Come and sleep..

You still have fever!

It is morning!

You haven't left yet?

Better leave..

I've to get ready for school..

Go now, Krishna"

'In the Neermathalam blossom

When time dropped like dew'

'Like Neelamabari raga

When one relished butter by oneself'

'Taking wings, the mind flew

And swung in the sky'

'In the Neermathalam blossom

When time dropped like dew'

'Like Neelamabari raga

When one relished butter by oneself'

'Big girl' m ean s,I'-'\1]

...you too can give birth to a child

Like Balamani gave birth to Sulu..

Grandma, if I look at the Sun like Kunthi

Will I too get a child?

'To whisper a secret

The dawns came near'

Look! When you menstruated,

the Neermathalam blossomed!

The Neermathalam flowers smell the same

As menstruating girls"

'Who wrote like collyrium

The dreams in your eyes..'

Aami.

To teach you drawing"

Go, change your dress and come..

This is your drawing teacher.

'And day and night caressed

With magical peacock feathers...?'

'In the Neermathalam blossom

When time dropped like dew'

'Like Neelamabari raga

When one relished butter by oneself'

'Taking wings, the mind flew

And swung in the sky'

Who are you looking for'?

Where is drawing master'?

I don't think he'll come today"

India is getting Independence today!

Victory to Mother India!

Victory to Mother India!

Victory to Jawaharlal Nehru!

Victory to Mother India!

Victory to Mother India!

Freedom at midnight.

VM, is the radio working"?

- Yes.

In Calcutta and Punjab,

riots have broken out

Partition dampened the

spirit of Independence!

People are running frantically

In any vehicle they can get into

Both from and to the East and West.

Long years ago,

and now the time comes when

we shall redeem our pledge,

not wholly or in full measure,

but very substantially.

India will awake to life and freedom.

Close all the shops!

There is a riot in the other street!

There's rioting"

Close the shops immediately!

How come you are here?

Hey, come inside..

Why didn't you come to teach?

You are all wet..

Won't you catch fever'?

All our people in this street

are leaving for Pakistan

Any moment, the riots

can spread here..

We'll do one thing

Kamala, go home..
