Ghatak: Lethal Page #3

at the earliest...

...and admit him in some

big hospital.

He'll recover immediately.

And, fact is, your brother Shiv

stays in Mumbai too, doesn't he?

You've said what you have say;

let's face it!

But don't you know how Dad

hates modern medicine?

He claims to be brave; but he's

scared of a mere syringe!

Besides, who'd drill

the sense into him?

- You can do that, of course!

- l ?!

Not me... you can do it instead!

- lt can only be you!

- l?!

He's your Dad, after all... and you

look after him so well, don't you?

lt's settled then; talk to your Dad.

l've got to go and see a patient.

- That's the truth of the matter!

- Mr. Physician!

Now you're telling me, are you?

Just dressing in clean clothes

does not amount to hygiene.

You have to maintain a clean

neighborhood, too.

lf each one of us maintains

cleanliness in our area...

...we'd easily have a clean city.

ln the cleanliness drive undertaken

by Mahatma Gandhi...

...l've joined him in cleaning

the filthiest of places.

And you folks...

...if you think that's

below your dignity,...

...l'll personally sweep

this place tomorrow.

- That's not necessary, Sir...

- we'll do it on our own!

- How about the lane, Sir?

- That lane leading to the school...

...must be completed

at the earliest.

Meet the new officer at

the Municipality.

You must tell him

everything about me.

l've taken part in the freedom

struggle with Mahatma Gandhi.

l've even received a letter

of acknowledgement.

See how quickly the work gets

done, when you use my name.

Did you see my father around, Radhe?

He came this way, didn't he?

Oh, sure. He gave us a piece

of his mind just now.

He's gone to repeat the act

a little farther away!

You rascal! You're always playing...

why don't you go to school?

- where's your father?

- Good-morning, Sir.

why doesn't your son go

to the school, Hariya?

l drop him at the school everyday;

but he runs away from there.

l'm now thinking of making him

help me out in the fields.

Do you want to make an animal

out of him in those fields?!

Don't you know that Mr. Shastri...

...swam across the river, with his

books on his head, to reach school?

And, eventually, he became the

Prime Minister of our country!

But why must this boy swim across

the river? His school is nearby.

Shut up, you idiot!

Now look; a man without education

is nothing short of an animal!

Just watch out, if your son

doesn't attend school from tomorrow!

You've been scolding me, Sir...

l wish you'd say something

to this boy, too.

Straighten up! what are you

wearing that silly grin for?!

The physician has

made it clear...

...that you'll have to

go to Bombay for your cure.
