The Cloud-Capped Star Page #2

your old father?

The girl works to foot your bills

I'll be earning, too

Since the radio audition I get lots

of calls, my maestro's furious

He won't let me perform until

I've studied for another two years

Hasn't your maestro a hennaed beard?

Why not just grab it and hang on

like a midget? Why come here?

Does any young man sit at home?

My bread doesn't come cheap

How can I look people in the eye?

No food for you, unless you pay up

- Going off without eating?

- You told Ma I'm a glutton

He can't make out anything.

He's such a Khuka, mother

Why destroy the future because of

such simple bickering?

Grit your teeth and hang on

for two years

Khuki, only you know my worth

Going off like that... don't you know

what's on tomorrow?

It's Jagatdhatri Puja

It's your birthday

Father's taking me out,

like he used to

Where to?

Anywhere, it's not decided

All right. I'll come, too.

Don't tell him

Brother, you're such a child

Father would refuse if I told him

Sunrise

Didn't Keats have a poem?

This flourishing field... it costs

nothing to perceive its beauty

There is no money, but this is here

Appreciating life is an art

Don't overdo it, you'll get

indigestion

Will you always be this greedy?

You shouldn't say such things

Anything for us?.

Sir, your tax is three months overdue

Come tomorrow morning,

I'll see what I can do

Aren't you in that group of...

I left. I wasn't getting any parts

An actor, is it?

Who are you?

I'm Sanat, sir

You got a good second in pure physics

Someone told me... Khuki told me

Yes, we meet sometimes

What's happened?. You're so pale

and drawn

What are your plans?.

I'm looking for a scholarship

to do doctoral research

Monkey!

- For a D. Sc?

- D. Phils are all too common

Swine!

What's the subject of your thesis?

The Reynolds number of the Supersonic

vibration of the Lower Gangetic Plain

Ape!

Not you, I mean Shankar.

I was comparing you two

He's done nothing

Son, have a bite to eat

So you're immersed in studies?

No other way out in life

What a lovely place

I haven't time

Give Sanat some tea

Is Sanat here?

What are you staring at?

Take this, I'm late

How do you manage to sit indoors

all evening?

Drink the tea. I'll go late for

tuition, as you're here

Let's go for a walk

A walk, I said. Miles away,

weren't you?

Where is everyone?

What's this? Get out at once!

Dear me, what's going on?

Come inside

You know the guru I told you about

When was that?

Bring home all the vagabonds!

Can't feed yourself...

Beginning's a bit troublesome

Such a lovely voice.

You'd be spellbound

If you bring such a nuisance again...

Quick, bring some money

Don't tell your mother. We're busy.
