Did you see the monkey? - Did a monkey come?

No, why will that be a monkey? That's the brother's son.

Is that so? No, I didn't.

All of a sudden, he left without eating anything.

Such a hopeless place.

How do people live here?

There is no school nearby. How will I put him into a school?

Are you leaving? There is some milk.

You just now said that it is for your son.

You will also drink milk from today. - Is that so?

It is in that small vessel in the kitchen.

That's good.

Will you not go to the market? - I will. Tell me what you want.

I'll tell you but.. - Are you thinking of the money?

I don't know the name.

Nupur gave it to me that day and it was good to taste.

Get the name and I'll get it for you tomorrow.

I know.

Shall I get it?

Let the medicine work today. - Okay.

Hey, Gayatri.

Hey, Gayatri, listen.

What do you want? - Matchbox.

Matchbox? What for do you need a matchbox?

Mummy wants it. - Mummy wants it? Wait.

She wants only two sticks.

Why only two sticks? Take the whole box. I have got more.

Greetings.

Where do you originally hail from? - Syhlet.

Do you live in Kashi? - Why do you ask?

I wanted to sit somewhere and have some tea.

All of a sudden, on the banks of Ganges, I have become home sick.

That's why I am carrying some tea leaves in my shawl and walking around.

Why not? Come along.

My house is nearby. It is in Ganesh Muhalla (colony).

I hope you don't mind. - No, not at all.

My name is Kalicharan Bhandopadhyaya.

Look how troublesome it is.

Mummy, I'll also have it.

If there is some left out.

First, go give it to them and come.

Ask him if he needs more sugar.

Be careful.

Come.

Your son is very helpful.

Have it.

The tea is really good.

Where is your son? - Must be around.

Son.

Here he comes.

On Tuesday, I'll take you to see the royal palace.

Will you come? - Of course, he will come.

Every year in the royal palace, they've a feast for Brahmins.

I always get an invitation.

Do you have any objection if I take your son along with me?

No, not at all.

I don't know how to tell you.

I have collected around Rs.400 with great difficulty..

..by asking people I know.

If I could get another Rs.100 then I will get a good..

..girl from a good family and marry her.

You tell me, is it possible to live happily without a family?

I'll take leave.

Mr. Hari.

Do you know some girl? - No, I don't know any girl.

Okay.

??

I was wondering if you should take Apu along.

You know, he has never been seen.

Want to go? - Hold these.

What's happened to you?

What's happened to you?

Are you feeling sick?

I went to the market.

Then I went to the banks of the river.

Then while climbing the stairs.. - It's all right, just lie down.

I'll find Appu so that we can call the doctor.

What is the use of that?

Don't we have to call the doctor?

No.

What no? It can't be as you decide always.

No. Listen.

Listen there are small packets inside that box.

Take one of them. - Mother.

Mix it with ginger and honey and give me.

I will have that and see if feel better.

If I don't feel better tomorrow, then we can deal with it.

Sit near your father. He is feeling sick.

Come.

Sit down.

Did you buy crackers?

What all?

Some colourful ones and some which burst with a small sound.

Here, it is not as good as it is in our native place, isn't it?

Did you see the fireworks that light the sky?

Yes. - Appu.

Who's calling you? - Shangu.

Who's Shangu?

He stays in the next street.

Your friend? The one who teaches you? - Yes.

Tell me.

Appu is a good boy. How will you say that in English?

Appu is a good boy. - Appu.

Call him inside. - He will burst crackers now.

You want to go with him? - Yes.

Okay, go.

How are you feeling? - Better. A lot better.

Get up and have this. The way you got me scared.

You must have caught cold.

You really work too much.

I wanted you to reduce it a little and now, you've been forced.

It serves you better.

Listen.

Tell me.

Come and sit down here.

Appu is falling asleep.

I have to make the bed for him. since you will be sleeping on the cot.

The broker gave me the news about a house. - Really.

It is near the Goddesses' temple. On the first floor with two rooms.

It is airy on all sides. The rent is Rs.7.

The school will also be near. Our son will have no problem.

We'll discuss that later. You take rest now.

Listen. What is our son doing?

Listen to what he is doing.

Look at this a monkey.

Everything in Kashi is good except these monkeys.

That's true.

Are you going out? - Don't I have to take my bath?

But you're not well. Can't you go avoid it today?

I must go today too.

I made so much of pounded rice for you.

Priest.

Priest.

Oh my God.

Help.

I did not hear anything in the night.

I had come late after seeing Ramleela.

I did not hear anything in the morning.

I had gone to the river bank to bathe in the morning.

It is then I heard that he fell unconscious.

Is he injured? - There will be injury.

It is all stone there.

It seems that he has a congestion in the heart by catching cold.

Okay.

It is better that you keep all the windows..

..and the doors closed so that cold air doesn't come in.

Okay.

You come with me so that I can give the medicines to you.

Come on, I'll go with you.

Heat some mustard oil and massage it on his hands, legs and on his chest.

He will start feeling a little warm after that.

Okay, we'll do that.

How do you see him, Doctor?

Don't worry. We're all here to help you and take care of him.

"Lords helps the devotees."

"Take the name of Lord Krishna and Radha."

"Lord keeps everyone in good health."

"Take the name of Lord Krishna and Radha."

Mr. Roy.

"Take the name of Lord Krishna and Radha."

"Hail Lord Krishna and Radha."

"You take care of everyone."

Madam.

Madam, are you listening to me?

Go away from here. - No, don't. I'll go away.

Mother!

Do you want to say something?

Will you have some water?

Appu.

Get up, son. Get some water from Ganges.

Here. Come fast. Drape this.

He is coming soon.

He is coming soon.

Come.

Have this. Get up a little.

What happened to you?

Come inside.

This is Appu. Take his blessings.

How old is he? - He will be ten in a few months.

Has his sacred thread ceremony been done?

No, we have to do it.

Are you planning to come to the hometown?

I'm not able to decide anything, Uncle.

Earlier I never thought of going since I never knew that you'll come.

I came at the same time in which I have been coming regularly.

But I never knew that this has happened.

That is all my fate.

How are your employers? - They are good people.

They are also happy with my work.

They are going away and want to take me with them.

I'm not able to make up my mind.

You think it over. I'm here for some more days.

If you come with me then everything will be fine.

You'll have no problem there.

Go.

Listen.

Go to that table and open that drawer.

Not that one, but the next one.

There is a leather bag, bring it here.

"Lord, you are ever benevolent."

"We are in your shelter now."

"Lord, you are ever benevolent. We are in your shelter now."

"We are going to venerate Goddess Ganges."

"We will take a bath in the pure water of Ganges. And purify our souls."

"Lord. This is your grace. This is your grace, Lord."

"Go ahead, traveler. And get freedom. Go ahead, traveler. And get freedom."

Come on. Come.

Come. Come.

Come. Come.

Come. Come.

Come. Come.

Come. Come.

Come. Come.

Come.

Are you coming with us? - Where?

Didn't I tell you that we are going to Dewanpur next month?

I also told you that I'll take you along if I like your work.

Now, it is for you to agree.

Do you have someone here? - No.

Is there someone in your hometown? - No.

Then what? Come along with us.

Okay.

Listen.

The other servant was telling me that you've no appetite.

Are you feeling sick? - No.

Feeling okay. Fine. - Yes.

Everyone has had their food.

Why is that woman always sitting alone? - What can I say?

Why are you taking so long to wash one pot? - Appu.

Listen. - Yes, sir.

Leave the luggage in that place.

Mother, the train!

I've lit the stove, Aunt.

Do you have enough rice and pulses?

Yes, there is enough for today.

Then I'll leave now.

Okay, then I'll come tomorrow. Tell me if you need anything.

You didn't tell me your name. - Nirupama.

I'm here for seven more days. Will you be able to get settled by then?

Appu. You'll come to me tomorrow.

You learn how to perform the rituals from me.

Put those leaves on the idol of Narayan.

Put some flowers.

Wash it.

"Hail Lord Brahma."

"The benefactor of the cows and Brahmins."

"The father of the universe, Lord Krishna."

"Also known as Govinda, I pray to thee."

Hey! I'll get you.

You can't escape from me.

There they are fighting again.

Go. Go away. - Hey! Hey.

Get hold of him. - Trying to act smart?

Come here.. - Hey, let us run. Come on.

Why are you lying down?

Are you feeling tired?

Are you feeling sick?

What's it.

Look how many toys you have.

Keep them properly.

Don't you like it here?

Tell me what happened?

Did they tell something to you?

Did you have a fight or something?

They are good people.

If we keep them happy then everything will be fine.

It is just a matter of some years and if fortune favours us..

Mother. - What's it?

I'll go to the school. - Which school?

It is nearby and is a very good school.

How did you know that it is a good school?

I had been there. I've seen it myself.

What will happen to the work then?

I'll do the work and go to school.

Will you be able to manage both? - Yes.

Who will pay for the fees and books for the school?

Don't you get money? Don't you have money?

Mr. Keshav.

Has everything been brought?

Has everything been organised?

There is only half an hour left.

Only half an hour.

Half an hour.

Mr. Jagadish.

I'll take care of that.

Is someone there?

Get out. Get out.

Welcome.

Greetings.

Greetings. Welcome.

Sit down.

What are they being taught?

I'm teaching them Bengali.

The tender leaf of literature.

Tell me what it means.

You tell me.

Sir, it means.. - Next boy.

It means the tender leaves. - Fine.

Read this.

The land of Bengal.

"In which land are the trees and plants the greenest?"

"In which land are all welcomed equally?"

"Where is it that golden vegetables and lotus seen?"

"It is our Bengal. Our land called Bengal."

"Where is the drum played to call the Goddess?"

"You also call out to her."

"Where is everything that you like so close by?"

"Where is it that you see the jungle and the animals?"

"The cities and the train."

"It is our Bengal. Our land called Bengal."

"Which is the language that arouses our spirits?"

"Where can you hear such sweet songs?"

\Where is the signature?

Here, twenty third.

You can remember everything, but not this?

Go get it signed.

Apurva, come.

Is your mother well?

Yesterday, the inspector was very pleased with you.

Not that I was not pleased with you.

I'm monitoring your progress regularly.

I've told Mr. Avinash about you.

He is much above average student, sir.

We have great hopes of you. Do you understand?

On our part we shall help you all we can.

But if you want to be a really good student you must work hard.

Particularly...

You must improve your English.

Are you fond of reading.

Let us say, books of travel..

..lives of great men and works of popular science and so on.

If I give you such books, will you read them?

Certainly he will read them.

Okay.

You see all these books.

I hope in time you will read them all.

Being tucked away in this village in a remote corner of Bengal..

..should not blind us to the fact that the world is very large..

..and there is no limit to the knowledge that one can acquire.

This book is about North Pole.

If someone wants to know what is Aurora Borealis..

..or what do Eskimos survive..

..if you read this book, you'll know about it.

This is the travelogue of Livingstone.

You can know about Africa from this.

This is 'Story of Invention'.

From this, you can know about the inventions.

This is about the life of famous scientists.

Galileo, Archimedes.

Mother!

The moon goes around the earth.

On its orbit when it comes here..

..then the shadow falls here and there is an eclipse.

Appu.

Mother. Africa! Africa!

Africa! Africa!

Get up. Appu.

Get up and eat your food.

Appu get up.

Come on.

But mother.. - Stand up.

Come, Apurva, come.

I have good news for you.

You've stood second in the district.

Sit down. - It's okay, sir.

No. Sit down.

The issue is will you study further?

If you continue your studies, then you'll get a scholarship of Rs.10.

If you want to study in Kolkata then I can make arrangements for that.

Have you thought about this? - Yes, sir.

Will you continue your studies? - Yes, sir.

Will you study at Kolkata? - Yes, sir.

Arts or science? - Science.

Good. Is there some arrangement for you to stay there?

Some relative or someone? - No.

But that will not be a hurdle that will stop you.

Have you told your mother about this?

Not yet.

Will you be able to convince her? - I'll try.

Mother.

Mother. - Why are you late?

Do you know that I've stood second in the district?

What? - Second.

It means that there is only one person above me and I'm after him.

Really? - I too will get a scholarship.

Scholarship?

Scholarship. They give it when you do well in the exams.

How much will you get? - Rs.10 per month.

Rs.10!

But I will have to continue my studies for that..

..otherwise they will not give it.

Why is that so?

Why not? Will they give it just like that?

I will have to go to Kolkata and study.

Tell me what this is, Mother?

Are you going to Kolkata?

Will I not go? Everyone goes there.

That's why the headmaster called me.

He has given me the address and all the details.

He has said that there will be no problem.

What about the expenses? - What expenses?

The college fees will be waived and I'll get Rs.10 per month.

I'll also find myself a job. - What about me?

What do you think that I'll do here?

If you go away then do you think that..

..these people will keep me here like the queen?

If I don't study then will I be a priest all through my life?

What is wrong in that?

You're a priest's son.

And will you become the landlord or something like that?

Yes, I'll do that.

Shut up. - Why should I shut up?

Will it always be the way you decide? - Shut up.

No!

Appu.

If some poisonous insect or snake bites you, then you're doomed.

Come home. - No, I will not come, you go.

Listen to me and don't behave like a child.

You can go to Kolkata. - But you're saying that I can't go.

Did I say that you can't go? We have to think about all aspects.

For that, do you have to beat me? - I will beat you again.

Be a good boy and come inside the house.

Look at this.

Whose money is that, Mother?

I used to work, do you remember?

Do you know how much I've saved?

Thirty two.

It is fortunate that I saved some money. I'll give some out of this.

You can be comfortable.

Hurray!

Look, Mother, the headmaster has given me this. - What's this?

This is called the globe. It is the earth. Our earth.

The lines you see and the countries.

The blue ones are the oceans.

Mother, it's 7.30.

It's ready, son. See it once. - It's all right.

What do you mean by all right? Come and see.

This is the bag and here is the bottle of oil.

Here is the vessel. You can eat in this.

Here I have kept some spices, look.

Here is some honey for you.

Here are the prayer books for you.

Your wraparound that I have kept along with your bed.

I have kept some postcards inside this book.

Write to me the moment your reach there.

Mother, keep this inside too.

Here is your money bag.

Some I have kept here and rest you keep with you.

Be careful.

Before going, meet the master since they have done so much for us.

The globe. - No, nothing more can be put into this.

The keys, keep them carefully.

I'll take leave, Mother. - Wait.

Pray to the lord.

Be careful while walking on the road.

Don't eat everything you see or else you'll fall sick.

If you feel like and can, then come here often.

Have you ever tripped and fallen?

If you have not then there is a lot of life when you will trip and fall.

This balm will be your true companion when you trip and fall..

Brother, do you want it?

Listen, are you Mr. Ashit?

What do you want?

I have a letter. - What letter?

The headmaster of the school has given it.

Give it to me.

Sit down.

Paresh had written to me about this earlier.

Have you come here to study? - Yes.

Do you have some money with you? - Yes.

Mummy had given me Rs.30.

Out of that 10 paisa I paid for the rail fare.

And the balance Rs.29 and 10 paisa is with me.

Can I get a room here?

I have only got one room. But we can manage in that itself.

How much rent will I have to pay?

Can you work in the press? - Yes.

If you study in the college in the day..

..would you be able to work in the press at night?

Yes.

Okay. Go by that stairs to the room above.

My room is in the front.

44, Jayapada Baruah. - Yes, sir.

45, Shivnath Sengupta. - Present, sir.

46, Apurva Kumar Roy. - Yes, sir.

47, Surendranath Chakravarty. - Yes sir.

48, Manindranath Sarkar. - Yes, sir.

Synecdoche.

Synecdoche is a figure of speech based on association.

Here, we get the instance of a more comprehensive term..

..used for a less comprehensive word and vice versa.

Does this strange word on the blackboard convey anything to you?

Say figure of speech based on association.

When I say that Mr. Roy has not been attending to my lecture..

..then I'm using a figure of speech known to consist..

..in stating a disagreeable fact in an agreeable manner.

And Mr. Sengupta. I'm sure you'll like to join your friend outside.

Shall I too go out, sir?

What's this, buddy?

Did you not get any other place to sleep?

In the end, you landed up sleeping in the English class?

Are you crying?

Come along. There is no point in feeling bad about this.

Come along.

Let's roam a little and come.

Hey, let the anchor loose so that boat can float.

Apurva. - Hey.

Apurva, will you not go abroad?

Yes. You get me a job in a ship.

I'm very serious about it.

Come, let us both go for a trip abroad together.

No. - Why?

Don't you have any ambition?

Will you remain like a frog in the well?

Will you not go if you get a chance?

Why? Why will you not go?

My mother will never let me go.

Why?

It is three hours journey to Kolkata..

..and she was not letting me come here itself.

Then how did you come? - I fought with her.

I came chasing my ambition. In fact, I had a job there.

What job? - Priest's job.

Is that your family profession? - Yes.

Do you wear the sacred thread?

Oh, yes. - Let me see.

We've bunked two lectures, are you aware of that?

We made a mistake.

We could've asked Pranab to give proxy on our behalf.

In this college, giving proxy attendance is no problem at all.

Mother.

Mother.

Have you grown taller?

Then you've slimmed down.

Did you get my letter?

I will not talk to you.

Why, mother?

You said that you'll come on the sixth and what date it is today?

What to do, Mother? There was a lot of work.

Work is only an excuse. You don't feel like coming to your mother.

Appu.

Appu.

You will catch cold. Come up.

What do they give you to eat there?

Everything.

Everything means?

Rice, pulses, fish and vegetables.

Who cooks? - There is a cook.

Does he cook well? - Yes.

Better than me?

Better than me?

Listen, when you come the next time, this sweater will be ready.

You heard me?

Appu.

Put that book down.

Tell me. - What do I tell you?

Like what you saw and what you heard.

I saw everything.

Still let me hear what it is.

Victoria memorial, White House, lake, stock market..

..the zoo, Fort William.

What about the temple at Kalighat?

Yes. I was there a few days back. Kalighat temple and Keorotala.

What's in Keorotala? - Burning ghat (valley).

What? - The cremation ground.

Listen. Be careful while you walk on the road there.

When will you graduate and take up a job?

I will come and live in Kolkata then. Okay?

Will you keep me with you? - Yes.

God knows whether that'll happen or not. Will I live that long?

Stop it. - Why do you brush it aside?

Nothing is certain in this world. It can happen too.

My health is also not good like it was before.

In the evening I feel giddy and get headaches.

Moreover, I've lost appetite.

For a long time, I've been wanting to tell you about this..

..but couldn't tell you.

You won't leave your studies to come and look after me, will you?

Will you get me treated for this when you start earning, Appu?

What? Appu.

"Bend the body like that."

"Do that thing more nicely. You're a wonderful boy."

"Walk slowly. Use your body like that."

"Do that thing more nicely. You're a wonderful boy."

"Slowly, boy, show more wonders."

"Do that thing more nicely."

Will you have betel leaves? - No.

Did you hear what Niru said?

What? - I heard.

Will you go? - No.

Why not? She has invited you so much.

I've got college on Monday.

What if that is so. You show off a lot.

What will be the problem if you take leave for two days?

There will be a problem and you'll not understand it.

Why will I not? Everyone can fall sick for a day or two.

You've come only for four days. I don't know when you'll come next.

They will be happy if you go.

Will you go?

Move.

Move aside.

I'll not find time in the morning.

I'll have to catch the train early in the morning.

Tomorrow morning, you have to wake up early, Mother.

You wake me too.

Appu. Appu.

Appu.

What's this, Mother? You didn't wake me up?

I'm late.

I'll take leave now.

Keys.

Will you not go and meet them?

No, there is no time.

Come on, into the coach.

One ticket to Sealdah.

Come and buy tea. Come and buy snacks.

"Come and give me a divine glimpse today, my Lord."

The train is coming.

Come on, get up.

Be careful, the train is coming, Brother.

Appu.

I couldn't catch the train.

What will happen now? - I'll go tomorrow.

Will it not hamper your studies? - No.

Are you hungry? Will you eat something?

A little later, Mother.

Apurva Kumar Roy. - Yes, sir.

Dear, Appu. Why don't you write letters to me these days?

I feel worried when I don't get letters from you.

Do you have any holidays in your college?

If so, then come home.

It's been two months since I've seen you.

I feel a lot that I should see you.

If you don't have money then let me know.

I'll send money for you.

Is madam at home?

Everyday, I think of coming but somehow it never happens.

Are you fine? - Yes.

Sit down.

Did you get any letter from Appu? - Yes.

Is he fine? - Yes.

Your son is like a piece of diamond.

Now, you get him married.

If a daughter-in-law is at home then you'll not worry.

You stay all alone.

Everyday, I plan to come but somehow it doesn't workout.

Everyday, there is something or the other.

Yesterday, my son-in-law had come.

He has a shop in Kalna. His cousins are the one who look after that.

My son-in-law works at that shop. Still, what should I say?

I've never heard of this in my life.

Two sons, grandsons and granddaughters..

..and she died last month.

He got married again the next month.

Are you sleeping?

Has the fever increased again?

Will you be with me for some time?

Will you not go inside the house?

I will. Sit.

No, I had better go.

Sister-in-law is coughing so.

Get the medicine ready for my sister-in-law.

I will come later if I can.

Your grandma has been informed.

You make get angry with me if you want.

Why did you write to her?

She is so old.

Have you written to Appu?

Appu has holidays today and tomorrow.

Is he coming?

Shall I write to him? - No.

He will come by his own will if he wants.

He has his studies. The exams are near.

It will be better if he doesn't come.

You don't write to him.

Promise me that you'll not write.

I'll take leave now. I'll come later. They'll also come.

Shall I shut the door which is open on that side?

I'll do that. - Okay.

I'll leave it there, okay?

I thought I'll not find you. - Why?

You had said that you'll go home for the holidays.

You told me about the village that you stay in.

You said you will go there.

If I go there, I can't study. I only feel sleepy.

Will your mother not get annoyed? - No, I've managed that.

Is that so?

I have sent some money through money order.

Mr. Ashit had given me bonus, out of that.

Is that so?

Are you not feeling nervous?

A little.

The chemistry preparation is still not good.

Will you have one? - No.

Have it. - No.

Mother.

Appu!

Careful.

Appu!

There is a letter for you.

Put it for print.

Is it your mother's letter? - Sister Niru's. Mummy is sick.

Is she seriously sick?

Brother, for eye irritation and headaches, it will help you a lot.

It is a medicine for trivial ailments.

The wonder pills.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Don't cry, Appu.

Crying is of no use.

Whatever it is that has happened.

Now, you decide what you want to do.

You have to stay and perform the last rites.

After that you can go.

Son.

Where are you going?

Kolkata.

Why? - I have college.

What about your mother's last rites?

I'll perform them at Kolkata in Kalighat.
