:17:01
What about our garden?
:17:04
They said my brother owed them
money when he was alive
:17:09
The garden paid off the debt
:17:11
If we had the orchard now
we wouldn't go hungry
:17:17
You should hear what they say
when Durga takes a few guavas
:17:24
What do such people matter?
I am a scholar
:17:28
Who cares about that here?
:17:31
Listen to what I have in mind
:17:35
I am going to write original plays
and poems
:17:40
I'll soon be in great demand
:17:43
The travelling players need
new material
:17:48
Most writers are merely
rehashing old stories
:17:52
If their stuff is popular...
:17:55
...shouldn't my stuff be
even more popular?
:17:59
Of course
:18:02
And as a scholar you'll be
respected in the village
:18:10
And you will teach the boy
:18:14
It's not long to the festival
:18:19
A good match will be found for Durga
:18:23
We'll have two good meals a day
and new clothes twice a year
:18:29
That's how it will be; my ancestors
were writers, after all
:18:35
I keep alive the family tradition
:18:38
In two years we'll be living
in comfort, free of debt
:18:44
The house will be repaired...
and no more spinach every day
