"Get your knives sharpened"

"Get your knives sharpened"

"The way I sharpen your knives,

you could use them like swords..."

"so bring your knives to me

lest you regret it"

"You will have the world

saluting to you"

"Get your knives sharpened"

"However a knife is..."

"I leave it gleaming"

"It glitter like silver..."

"and all I take as my wages

is 10 paisa"

"Like life without the beloved,

like a heart bereft without love..."

"there's nothing if

a knife isn't sharp enough"

"He who has a sharp knife,

keeps thieves away..."

"save the house that does

not have a sharp knife"

"Get your knives sharpened"

"Should you encounter

a thug on the streets..."

"or someone who swears at you

in a state of drunkenness..."

"the sharp knife will be your saviour"

"Let's have a round of

applause for that, children"

"This chap I ran into yesterday,

praised my long hair..."

"he said I have pierced his heart

with my eyes"

"I brandished the knife..."

"and he called me sister

immediately"

"Have your knives sharpened"

Hey, watch it!

- Sharpen this too.

Then say so! You nearly injured my eye!

- Oh come on...

I swear! I'll be a gain to you.

- Nonsense!

Look, you know very well that

nobody can talk to me like this.

But you always...

- Here you are!

Wow!

Take this

Give me change.

It's scarce these days.

Keep this Rs. 10 note.

We'll settle the score later.

Why, is it a special day

for you or something?

I don't want it!

- You slut! With this note...

I'll get 10 girls like you!

- You rascal!

He said vile things to me,

the bloody rascal!

Why don't you say something now?

- I was just teasing her, sir.

Teasing, eh?

Constable! Take him away.

Look, if any man insults you,

you needn't come to blows with him.

Come to us at the police station.

Why are we here?

Now take your things and go.

Don't you know anything else but

picking pockets and stealing?

You're a family man. Do some job.

- A job?

We don't get a job, sir.

- Don't get one?

Or are you scared to do a job?

- God's witness, sir.

Pilfering is very hard work.

But I'm helpless.

Once branded, who'll give a job?

- No business. What did you do?

I was a peddler. But I had to

sell it for my wife's medicines.

Wife's medicines or your hooch?

- Hooch. No, not hooch.

Honestly, sir. If I get a

little financial help...

I'll buy a nice peddling cart.

- How much money does it need?

Sir?

- How much will it cost?

At least Rs 300 sir.

But, from where...

If you promise to go straight,

I can get you the money.

I swear, sir. I'll leave

all these vices and pay you back too.

Much obliged, sir.

- Another complaint against you...
