(0.00 / 0 votes)Thank you, sir
I wish you had stayed on
to take your degree
I couldn't afford to
But don't give up your writing
I remember your stories in the
college magazine about village life
They were very good. You know,
one can earn a living by writing

Good morning. Sit down
What use will that be?
It will rest your legs
I haven't come up to rest my legs
You know very well why I'm here
I'm going to ask a straight question,
and I'd like a straight answer
- What is the date?
- The tenth
- How many months rent do you owe me?
- Three
That makes twenty-one rupees
Will you pay me now,
or shall I return this evening?
That makes three questions, not one
It's not fair
Many things are not fair
Is it fair
that I should house you for nothing?
That you should use electricity
all day without paying for it?
You have had education.
You have pictures
of great men on the wall
Is it fair
that you don't pay the rent?
It's a sign of greatness, you know
I, too, could turn a pretty phrase...
...but it would not be fit
for your young ears
Anyway, either I get my money
this evening...
...or I'll look for a new lodger
This letter is for you, not me
We're both Rays
We are pleased to accept your short
story "A Man of the Soil"...
...for publication in the next
issue of Sahityik
Not bad news, I hope
Why do you get so few letters?
I'd like to open a love letter
by mistake
Perhaps it's as well
I've experienced
matrimonial complications
HARIMATI PRIMARY SCHOOL
You advertised for a teacher
Qualifications?
- Intermediate Science
- No good, we want Matriculation
But I got that before Intermediate
What did the advertisement say?
It did specify Matriculation
Then why harp on Intermediate?
What's the point?
Would you work
for ten rupees a month?
Well?
I understand
you want someone in your factory.
I have Matriculation
Any experience of labelling?
Labelling?
No, but I can learn
Go through that door
and down the passage.
Take a look first
Pulu!
You're a fine friend.
Why didn't you tell me
you'd left the student hostel?
I've been searching north Calcutta
for you since four o'clock
I finally got your address from the
people you give private lessons to
What's so funny?
You've put on weight
I had.
I lost it these last three hours
Would you like tea at the cafe
around the corner?
All right.
But I've two tickets for
us to see Sadhabar Ekadashi
Is this a hideout? Are you
forging banknotes or something?
I wish I could
And you cook for yourself?
I'll cook you a meal one day:
Rice and potatoes
I thought you'd got it
There was a strike on, and they
wanted people as strike-breakers
So you've been unemployed?
I give some private lessons
- How much do you make?
Didn't you learn to type?
Yes, I thought it might be useful
Good. I'll get you a job
as soon as we return
Where are we going?
You'll come with me to my cousin
Aparna's wedding on Monday
- Where?
- Just for a few days
- But where?
- Khulna.
Khulna!
You'll love it there
An old-world village,
