Just the bill

Not going to college?

Botching your tests,

for novels and films

In this house,

it's scarcity always

You don't have this,

you don't have that

So make a paradise, and

all dress up like fairy's

I'll rest and twirl my big toe

and smell heavenly fragrance

You're needed desperately.

- Why?

This year you and Shankar

just've to sing in the function

I've given up singing

And brother's maestro won't let him.

Why not ask Geetu?

But who will be the invitees

we need to talk it over

We'll discuss this when

we meet at the library

Hello Shanti. I hear your rehearsals

are going on fine?

Oh no, we're in a fix.

We can't get a good prompter

The way you all shout. Enough!

Forget the prompting

The tuition money

All of it?

I've asked Banshi to come.

He's so insulting everyday

Keep five rupees - pocket money

Have you no shame?

Dining off your old father

And the little girl works

the day long to foot your bills

And you spend your time in singing

I'll be earning too

Ever since the radio audition

I get so many calls

It's got my maestro furious

He'll let me perform after

two years' solid practice, see?

Hasn't your maestro

a hennaed beard?

Why notjust grab it and hang

like a midget. Why do you come here?

Does any young man

sit at home?

My bread doesn't

come so cheap

When women say things

I can't lift up my eyes

No food for you here from now.

Pay cash and eat

Won't you have something

to eat before you go?

Have you told Ma I'm imposing

on the family relations?

He can't make out anything,

he's such a child, mother!

Why do you listen to nonsense?

Destroy the future for a day's words?

Just grit your teeth

for two years

Look Khuki, only you

know my worth

If you'd gone you'd have

missed out on tomorrow

Tomorrow's Jagatdhatri Puja

Oh, tomorrow's your birthday!

Father's going to take me

on an outing, like before

Father... where?

Not decided - anywhere?

Okay, count me in,

I'll come too

Brother, you're such a child!

Father'd refuse if I told him

Sunrise!

Didn't Keats have a poem

Poetry of the earth

is never dead

This crop field!

To perceive its beauty costs no money

And there is no money

But this is here.

Very much here

You know the real truth?

Living is an art

You'll have stomach trouble

Will you remain a glutton

all your life!

Ignorant lad, you shouldn't

say things like that

Won't you give us too

Could we get a drink

of water near by

Sir, you're three months

subscription overdue

Please give me at least something

Okay, come tomorrow,

I'll see what I can do

Hey, I don't hear your voice...

at the rehearsals.

What are you doing nowadays?

They aren't giving me
