:55:00
You're always losing
your temper with me, auntie.
:55:03
Won't you give me a chance?
What had you asked me to do?
:55:06
You asked me to go to
the physician, didn't you?
:55:08
I did go to him to
fetch your medicines.
:55:11
But he wasn't there.
:55:12
He's supposed to be ill...
:55:15
...and has gone to the neighboring
village for treatment.
:55:17
I didn't mention the doctor and
you gave me a whole lecture!
:55:21
What else did you ask me to do?
:55:24
Didn't I ask you to fetch some
raw mangoes for the pickle?
:55:26
But you will never remember!
:55:29
Oh sure, you did tell me!
I'll go and fetch them right away!
:55:36
Lmamsaheb! Do you want me
to reach you home?
:55:39
Who's that?
:55:40
Basanti! It's you today.
:55:44
I've spent years in this village.
:55:47
You weren't even born then.
:55:49
But even before I can alight
the steps of the mosque...
:55:53
...there is someone
to reach me home.
:55:57
Why wouldn't anyone?
:55:59
There's not a soul in town
who does not respect you.
:56:02
When they respect you so much,
why won't they help you too?
:56:05
It's all very natural.
Actually...
:56:07
When you can talk so much, why don't
you talk some sense to Ahmed too?
:56:11
He's even younger to you.
:56:14
I know how to make them
see sense, lmam.
:56:17
I can make your son
see reason too.
:56:19
But unless I know what I have
to talk about, how will I?
:56:26
Ahmed's uncle works for a beedi-
manufacturing factory in Jabalpur.
:56:31
- He earns 300 Rupees every month!
- Really?
:56:33
He has written to me so very often
to send Ahmed over...
:56:37
...so he'll talk to his boss and
find Ahmed a job in the same factory.
:56:39
But Ahmed is just not
prepared to go!
:56:42
He says I'd be left all alone!
:56:45
- Hi! How are you?
- I'm fine, all right.
:56:48
Now tell me; you've completed your
matriculation and speak English too.
:56:53
And as your uncle
in Jabalpur writes...
:56:55
There you are! You're taken up
with my father says, too!
:56:58
That's the only thing he says
to anyone who meets him.
