I have to make Apu's bed

The sweet-seller told me about

a dwelling near the Man Mandir

On the first floor, two rooms, facing

south. The rent is seven rupees

There are markets and schools nearby.

Khoka won't have any problems

We'll talk about it

when you're better

- What is the boy doing?

- Can't you hear him?

But for the monkeys,

Kashi would be a good place

- Are you going out?

- Don't I have to go to the ghat?

- Can't you stay, after such a fever?

- I'm all right, the medicine worked

You'll climb all those steps...

I didn't hear anything in the night,

we came back late

from the performance

My wife was going to the ghat

when she heard he had collapsed

I hope he hasn't hurt himself

For one thing, he has a chest cold

The room is damp. Close the door

and windows, to keep the cold out

Someone come with me,

I'll prescribe medicines

I'll come with you myself

If you need anything,

don't be shy to ask

If you have mustard oil and camphor,

rub his back and chest with them

Ganga...

Go to the ghat, get a pot of water

and run back at once

He'll be back at any moment

Khoka is back

Pay your respects

to your great-uncle

- How old is he?

- He is ten now

- When was he given the sacred thread?

- After coming to Kashi

Will you come with me?

I can't make up my mind.

I hadn't thought of leaving here

I didn't know when you were coming

I always come at this time. I did

not know you were so badly off

- What are your employers like?

- Good people

They'll be going to Dewanpur

So I can't make up my mind

Think it over. I am here for

a few more days

If you stay at my house, it gets

lived in and you'll have no problems

Get out at once!

Bou-than, are you making paan?

No, the one next to it

There's a leather purse there

You're coming with us, aren't you?

We're going to Dewanpur next month

I told you that I would take you

if I liked your work

I hope you'll agree.

Have you any relatives here?

Nor where you come from?

So you might as well come with us

Mokshada says you've lost

your appetite. Are you well?

Go and open that drawer

Tell them in the other house

that Thakur-mashai is back

Mother! A train!

I've brought firewood.

Have you enough food?

Yes, enough until tomorrow

I'll come back tomorrow. Whenever

you need anything, just tell me

- You haven't told me your name

- Nirupama

I'm here for another week or so;

will you be settled in by then?

Apu, come with me tomorrow. You can

learn what you have to do as a priest

Place the deity on the throne

and put some tulsi leaves on him

No, wash them first

What's the matter with you?

You've been sulking since morning.

Are you ill? Are you feeling sad?

Are you missing Kashi,
