You really shouldn't have bothered.
:24:08
How is that possible?
A guest is like God!

:24:13
We've served what we have;
you eat and then we'II taIk.

:24:17
Ok.
:24:32
If I had the capacity to pay,
I wouId have come to Charanpur myseIf.

:24:37
Sir, I was a weaver before I
took up farming.

:24:42
Since the advent of machine
woven fabrics in the market,

:24:45
weaving had ceased to
be a Iucrative business.

:24:48
So I became a farmer.
I took Gitaji's Iand on Iease.

:24:54
I'd imagined, once the crops fIourished
the chiIdren's Iife wouId improve.

:25:02
But it was not to be!
:25:06
Why?
:25:08
By taking up farming,
I had changed my profession.

:25:13
The viIIage eIders did not accept this
and Iooked upon me as an outcast.

:25:20
They feIt a weaver shouId remain a weaver,
even if it meant, that he had to go hungry.

:25:27
I cried, pIeaded...
but no one Iistened to me!

:25:34
Nobody offered a drop of
water to irrigate my Iand.

:25:40
Entire crop dried up...
:25:43
.... and whatever survived,
the viIIagers refused to buy.

:25:49
It is because of this, I've not
been abIe to pay Gitaji's rent.

:25:54
But this is wrong.
:25:58
It's unfair. It is an outrage!
