La historia se centra en Tarapada, un chico de espíritu libre que rechaza las restricciones sociales. Vive en constante búsqueda de nuevas experiencias, como aprender a cocinar, pescar y hablar inglés, mientras desarrolla un fuerte vínculo con la naturaleza.

  • 00:00:19
    literature before I get into the story I
  • 00:00:23
    would get into what are the themes of
  • 00:00:26
    the story so that it's easy for you to
  • 00:00:28
    understand put it in context text also
  • 00:00:31
    let me tell you this is not going to be
  • 00:00:33
    a video which is going to be done in 15
  • 00:00:34
    20 minutes I have to do an honest job of
  • 00:00:38
    it and that would entail going through
  • 00:00:39
    every line and every word not just tell
  • 00:00:42
    you a summary there would be other
  • 00:00:44
    avenues where you could get the summary
  • 00:00:46
    you're free to do that but here on study
  • 00:00:48
    with sud I will do a very honest job of
  • 00:00:52
    explaining the entire story putting it
  • 00:00:54
    in context so that any question you can
  • 00:00:56
    answer uh which is asked to from you on
  • 00:00:59
    uh in any of your test papers okay so
  • 00:01:02
    let's get started the test papers will
  • 00:01:05
    be released in the second half of the
  • 00:01:07
    academic year uh which will have mcqs
  • 00:01:10
    reasoning questions as well as the long
  • 00:01:12
    format five and 10 Mark questions and
  • 00:01:14
    answers that will be in the second half
  • 00:01:16
    of the Academic Year so let's get
  • 00:01:18
    started first to understand what the
  • 00:01:19
    story is All
  • 00:01:28
    About okay so the word word atiti
  • 00:01:30
    obviously you know means the guest it
  • 00:01:32
    was written by gurudev rabid tagor in
  • 00:01:35
    1895 and it featured in a short story
  • 00:01:38
    collection
  • 00:01:41
    called go
  • 00:01:43
    go go po okay I may be getting the
  • 00:01:47
    pronunciation wrong so my Bengali
  • 00:01:49
    friends don't get after my life please
  • 00:01:52
    correct me what is it but I I'm reading
  • 00:01:54
    it as gold pogu I don't really know what
  • 00:01:56
    it means anyway what is the story about
  • 00:01:59
    that's the important part it is about a
  • 00:02:01
    free spirited boy now see one of the
  • 00:02:03
    reasons why I'm explaining this in
  • 00:02:05
    English is for your own benefit so that
  • 00:02:07
    you can use many of the words and
  • 00:02:09
    phrases that I use in these notes so
  • 00:02:12
    free spirited boy is a phrase that you
  • 00:02:14
    should definitely use for the main
  • 00:02:16
    character which is
  • 00:02:17
    tarapada uh he refuses to be bound by
  • 00:02:20
    any of the bound bonds of society so
  • 00:02:23
    he's a free spirited means he doesn't
  • 00:02:25
    want to be you know he doesn't want to
  • 00:02:26
    be in that comfort zone see all of us
  • 00:02:29
    like three OT Amir Khan what he did he
  • 00:02:31
    didn't want to be in the comfort zone he
  • 00:02:33
    always wanted to learn something new
  • 00:02:35
    that's precisely what this boy also does
  • 00:02:37
    he's 156 years old he kind of
  • 00:02:40
    establishes a connection and bond with
  • 00:02:42
    Mother Nature and he soaks in different
  • 00:02:44
    experiences he learns how to make sweets
  • 00:02:47
    how to cut fish uh to sing folk songs to
  • 00:02:50
    learn English so he tries to do as many
  • 00:02:53
    things as possible um in the time that
  • 00:02:56
    he has on Mother Earth he makes friends
  • 00:02:58
    easily he's ad at many skills so the
  • 00:03:02
    Story begins with arap meeting this
  • 00:03:03
    motilal Babu who is a zamindar a
  • 00:03:05
    landlord of a village and both motilal
  • 00:03:08
    and his wife Anapa like tarapada and
  • 00:03:11
    treat him like his son but their
  • 00:03:14
    daughter Chu she takes a dislike to him
  • 00:03:16
    because she's the only child and many of
  • 00:03:18
    you who are only child I mean who are
  • 00:03:20
    the only child of your parents would
  • 00:03:22
    probably relate to this because you feel
  • 00:03:24
    a little envious when your sibling older
  • 00:03:26
    or younger has to compete for attention
  • 00:03:28
    or the goodies at home right whereas if
  • 00:03:31
    you are a single child you are the
  • 00:03:33
    sinosure of all attention sinosure if
  • 00:03:35
    you are not familiar with this world
  • 00:03:37
    which means you are the center of all
  • 00:03:40
    attention improve your vocabulary also
  • 00:03:42
    here so you are the center of all
  • 00:03:45
    attention out there
  • 00:03:48
    right right so if you are like that then
  • 00:03:52
    you know if there is someone else
  • 00:03:54
    competing for your attention you do not
  • 00:03:56
    like it you become envious that's what
  • 00:03:58
    charu so the relationship
  • 00:04:01
    between Chu and tarapara is one of the
  • 00:04:03
    important elements in this particular
  • 00:04:05
    story however the relationship also
  • 00:04:07
    changes in due course of time when it is
  • 00:04:09
    decided that the two of them will get
  • 00:04:11
    married but tarapada once again runs out
  • 00:04:13
    because he doesn't want to be in that
  • 00:04:15
    comfort zone of the uh house or the
  • 00:04:19
    village right many of us do that you
  • 00:04:21
    know we feel
  • 00:04:24
    okay I know this work very well I
  • 00:04:26
    created this image just so that you have
  • 00:04:29
    an image in your mind it helps you
  • 00:04:31
    relate to the story that much
  • 00:04:32
    better so many of you when you are in
  • 00:04:36
    that kind of a comfort zone you feel
  • 00:04:38
    that okay I know this work
  • 00:04:40
    well kind of thing that's also because
  • 00:04:44
    you're not experimenting with something
  • 00:04:45
    else only when you experiment with
  • 00:04:47
    something else you will realize that oh
  • 00:04:49
    thing is better than this why was it
  • 00:04:52
    getting stuck here that's what you
  • 00:04:53
    should always do in life always
  • 00:04:55
    experiment and try to do different
  • 00:04:57
    things every few years because
  • 00:05:00
    Rolling Stones gather no Moss this is an
  • 00:05:03
    ediom right if you see in a river if
  • 00:05:06
    there is a stone which is there at one
  • 00:05:07
    place over a period of time Moss but a
  • 00:05:11
    stone that keeps rolling through the
  • 00:05:14
    river will never gather Moss right so
  • 00:05:17
    that's what you need to be that's what
  • 00:05:19
    this boy tarapada is really like let me
  • 00:05:21
    go through the three broad themes of the
  • 00:05:24
    story there are other themes also but
  • 00:05:26
    let me go through the three broad themes
  • 00:05:28
    the title of course know it means the
  • 00:05:30
    guest however at a metaphorical level
  • 00:05:33
    and this is what makes a story so
  • 00:05:35
    fascinating which is almost written like
  • 00:05:36
    a descriptive essay he's also a guest in
  • 00:05:40
    the world of domestic life domestic life
  • 00:05:43
    to get him married or to stay at home
  • 00:05:45
    and do the same things he doesn't want
  • 00:05:47
    to be he wants to be in contact with
  • 00:05:49
    Mother Nature and he cannot be a regular
  • 00:05:53
    inmate in the regular world of domestic
  • 00:05:57
    life that's what makes this title so the
  • 00:06:00
    title is very significant you should
  • 00:06:02
    write an answer on the significance of
  • 00:06:04
    the title why is the title so
  • 00:06:07
    significant because of these reasons not
  • 00:06:10
    just the literal meaning but what is it
  • 00:06:12
    exactly meaning in a very metaphorical
  • 00:06:15
    sense what are the themes explored in
  • 00:06:17
    the story one is the conflict of
  • 00:06:18
    wandless what does this mean wandless
  • 00:06:20
    means please use this wandless means
  • 00:06:22
    some someone who is fond of wandering
  • 00:06:25
    all over the place now tararat who is
  • 00:06:27
    the protagonist he can kind of you know
  • 00:06:30
    represents the struggle between comfort
  • 00:06:32
    zone and Adventure if you are in your
  • 00:06:33
    comfort zone then you don't want to do
  • 00:06:35
    any Adventure however if you are fond of
  • 00:06:39
    Adventure then you don't want to be in
  • 00:06:40
    your comfort zone you want to do that
  • 00:06:43
    thing which will mean it will challenge
  • 00:06:44
    you it will make you do things which you
  • 00:06:47
    are probably afraid of it will help you
  • 00:06:50
    conquer your fears and doubts and
  • 00:06:52
    apprehensions I'm talking this even in
  • 00:06:54
    general sense in life okay so his
  • 00:06:57
    village life you know it kind of
  • 00:06:59
    suffocated him it made him feel
  • 00:07:01
    claustrophobic whereas outside is the
  • 00:07:03
    unknown he doesn't know the unknown he
  • 00:07:05
    wants to go and explore the unknown and
  • 00:07:09
    that's what is attracting him beckoning
  • 00:07:11
    means attracting him because it's
  • 00:07:13
    mysterious because it's unknown it is
  • 00:07:15
    mysterious so he doesn't wish to feel
  • 00:07:17
    trapped inside the comfort zone of his
  • 00:07:20
    village and that's what he keeps running
  • 00:07:22
    away then there is the Temptation the
  • 00:07:26
    Allure of the open road so there is the
  • 00:07:30
    Mystic Melody the possibilities of going
  • 00:07:33
    out in the open so the story essentially
  • 00:07:36
    romanticizes this phrases also you need
  • 00:07:38
    to use it romanticizes the idea of
  • 00:07:41
    leaving everything behind and exploring
  • 00:07:43
    the world and the third big theme which
  • 00:07:45
    is the most important is that of the
  • 00:07:47
    enigmatic guest so he remains Enigma is
  • 00:07:50
    someone who is a bit of a puzzle someone
  • 00:07:53
    who cannot be explained so you know you
  • 00:07:56
    kind of understand why does he want to
  • 00:07:59
    do that why doesn't he want to get
  • 00:08:00
    married to charu and live comfortably as
  • 00:08:02
    husband and wife why does he want to run
  • 00:08:04
    away you would find it difficult but how
  • 00:08:07
    do you explain that that's what the
  • 00:08:09
    story is going to challenge you to do so
  • 00:08:12
    it your interpretation can be different
  • 00:08:14
    from my interpretation that's what is
  • 00:08:16
    the beauty of literature that you know
  • 00:08:18
    it allows for different kind of
  • 00:08:20
    interpretations this not maths and
  • 00:08:22
    physics answer numerical answer it's not
  • 00:08:26
    like that so there will be different
  • 00:08:27
    kind of interpretations and that's what
  • 00:08:29
    makes tarapada also a very relatable and
  • 00:08:32
    a very multifaceted kind of character so
  • 00:08:34
    now let's
  • 00:08:36
    get into uh the U now let's get into the
  • 00:08:41
    story the line by line explanation of
  • 00:08:44
    the story now that you have understood
  • 00:08:45
    what is it that we are going to talk
  • 00:08:47
    about and keep that image in mind
  • 00:08:51
    okay okay so now you can see the text on
  • 00:08:55
    your screen in some this is from the
  • 00:09:00

  • 00:10:30
    banerji motilal consented means he
  • 00:10:32
    agreed he says what's your name he says
  • 00:10:35
    tarapada now the fair skinned boy now
  • 00:10:37
    look at the this is the paragraph which
  • 00:10:40
    is important because it gives you the
  • 00:10:42
    description of the boy and it is
  • 00:10:44
    important the fair skinn boy was
  • 00:10:46
    beautiful to look at okay because he's
  • 00:10:48
    young boy that's why the word beautiful
  • 00:10:50
    has been used instead of the using the
  • 00:10:51
    word handsome his smile and his large
  • 00:10:54
    eyes had the grace of Youth okay he's
  • 00:10:57
    two years from adulthood his body bear
  • 00:11:00
    except for a stained doti was free of
  • 00:11:02
    any access which means he did not have
  • 00:11:04
    any flab he was not a plump kind of a
  • 00:11:06
    boy as if lovingly carved by a sculptor
  • 00:11:09
    so he is a very well sculpted he has a
  • 00:11:12
    very well sculpted body or as if in
  • 00:11:16
    previous life he had been a young Sage
  • 00:11:18
    whose pure religious devotion had
  • 00:11:20
    removed all grossness which means there
  • 00:11:22
    is nothing crude about his body it was a
  • 00:11:24
    very he was a very good-looking boy
  • 00:11:27
    horned him means sharpened him to a
  • 00:11:29
    gleaming brahmanical Perfection so you
  • 00:11:32
    also realize since it has been WR at a
  • 00:11:34
    particular time when Brahmin have been
  • 00:11:36
    celebrated which is why tagor is writing
  • 00:11:39
    in this kind of a tone come and wash
  • 00:11:41
    Baba said moal Babu tenderly you can eat
  • 00:11:43
    with us now he invites him to eat uh
  • 00:11:48
    food with them leave that to me said
  • 00:11:50
    tarap and without a moment's hesitation
  • 00:11:51
    he joined in the cooking so he now you
  • 00:11:54
    realize his first skill that is he knows
  • 00:11:57
    how to cook m servant was hindustani
  • 00:12:00
    which means he was from North India he
  • 00:12:03
    was not very good at cutting up fish
  • 00:12:05
    tarapada took over and soon had the dish
  • 00:12:07
    ready and had cooked some vegetables too
  • 00:12:09
    with practice skill important key phrase
  • 00:12:13
    that this is something which means that
  • 00:12:15
    he was used to the entire skill set of
  • 00:12:19
    cooking he then took a dip in the river
  • 00:12:22
    again something which kind of reflects
  • 00:12:24
    his brahmanical tradition and opening
  • 00:12:27
    his bundle produced a clean white
  • 00:12:29
    garment and a small wooden Kum he
  • 00:12:32
    sleeped his long hair away from his
  • 00:12:34
    forehead and down to his neck adjusted
  • 00:12:36
    his glistening sacret thread the Janu
  • 00:12:39
    and stepped onto the boat so you realize
  • 00:12:42
    this this particular paragraph gives you
  • 00:12:44
    an entire idea these two paragraphs
  • 00:12:47
    about what his skill sets are moal Babu
  • 00:12:50
    invited him into the cabin his wife and
  • 00:12:52
    his 9-year-old daughter were there now
  • 00:12:54
    you please note down the age of
  • 00:12:57
    charu his wife Anapa was tenderly
  • 00:13:00
    attracted to the boy when she saw him
  • 00:13:03
    and wondered whose child is he where has
  • 00:13:06
    he come from how could his mother bear
  • 00:13:09
    to abandon him so what you realize is
  • 00:13:11
    that a lot of motherly maternal feelings
  • 00:13:15
    are there in Anapa for
  • 00:13:19
    tarap she plays mats for motilal and the
  • 00:13:22
    boy to sit on side by side the boy was
  • 00:13:24
    not a big eater so is not like you know
  • 00:13:26
    he had a great appetite Anapa felt he
  • 00:13:29
    must be shy maybe he's shy that's why
  • 00:13:31
    he's not eating much because it's a new
  • 00:13:33
    place and try to get him to eat this or
  • 00:13:36
    that but when he had finished he could
  • 00:13:37
    not be tempted to M he clearly did
  • 00:13:40
    everything according to his own wishes
  • 00:13:42
    but with such ease that there was
  • 00:13:43
    nothing assertive about him he was not
  • 00:13:45
    at all shy what does it mean that he
  • 00:13:48
    knew how to behave himself now he was
  • 00:13:52
    assertive but he did not show his
  • 00:13:55
    assertiveness assertive means he had you
  • 00:13:57
    know he had a mind on of his own he knew
  • 00:14:00
    that this is what I will do but he did
  • 00:14:02
    not kind of you know make a thing as if
  • 00:14:05
    he was forcing his that no no no I will
  • 00:14:07
    do only this he's not saying like that
  • 00:14:09
    in a very gentle way he is having he's
  • 00:14:12
    doing what he wants to do okay so there
  • 00:14:14
    is nothing assertive about him while
  • 00:14:17
    he's doing what he wants to do and he
  • 00:14:20
    was not at all shy earlier she thought
  • 00:14:22
    he was shy but now she realizes that no
  • 00:14:24
    he was not a shy kind of a boy when
  • 00:14:27
    everyone had eaten anap now it also
  • 00:14:29
    shows that you know she allowed him to
  • 00:14:32
    see eat with her husband even though he
  • 00:14:33
    was a zamindar maybe it could be because
  • 00:14:35
    he is a Brahman boy because you please
  • 00:14:37
    realize at the time when gurudev wrote
  • 00:14:39
    this particular Story cast
  • 00:14:41
    discrimination unfortunately was pretty
  • 00:14:43
    much a part and parcel of India
  • 00:14:45
    especially rural India so uh one reason
  • 00:14:48
    why this he she allowed him to eat one
  • 00:14:51
    she took a liking to him and to probably
  • 00:14:54
    because he was a Brahman it doesn't go
  • 00:14:56
    into details but that is the
  • 00:14:58
    interpretation that I could think of
  • 00:15:00
    when everyone had eaten Anapa sat him
  • 00:15:02
    next to her and asked him about his
  • 00:15:04
    background where he came from etc etc
  • 00:15:07
    she didn't gather much obviously it
  • 00:15:09
    shows that he does not reveal much all
  • 00:15:12
    she could establish was that the boy had
  • 00:15:13
    run away from home of his own volution
  • 00:15:16
    volution
  • 00:15:17
    means volution means his own
  • 00:15:21
    wish it was his decision to run away
  • 00:15:24
    from home at the age of seven or eight
  • 00:15:27
    which means that for the last 8 to n
  • 00:15:29
    years he was on the road he was in the
  • 00:15:34
    lap of Mother Nature he had not gone
  • 00:15:36
    home isn't your mother alive so she
  • 00:15:39
    assumes that her his mother may have
  • 00:15:41
    been dead she is doesn't she love you
  • 00:15:45
    now tarap finds this question very
  • 00:15:47
    peculiar why shouldn't she love me he
  • 00:15:50
    said laughing then why did you leave her
  • 00:15:53
    because Anapa assumes that only if his
  • 00:15:55
    circumstances at home were not good only
  • 00:15:59
    then he would leave home and be on the
  • 00:16:01
    road in the open world for the last 8 to
  • 00:16:04
    nine years at such a young
  • 00:16:09
    age she has four more sons and three
  • 00:16:12
    daughters which means he has seven
  • 00:16:14
    siblings pained by this very odd reply
  • 00:16:17
    Anapa said what a thing to say just
  • 00:16:20
    because I have five fingers does it mean
  • 00:16:22
    that I want to chop off
  • 00:16:24
    one she's using a comparison tarap was
  • 00:16:28
    young so his life story was brief he
  • 00:16:30
    didn't have much to say but the boy was
  • 00:16:32
    a complete original which means you
  • 00:16:34
    wouldn't have found or at least Anapa
  • 00:16:36
    had never met anyone like tarap he was
  • 00:16:39
    his parents fourth son and was still a
  • 00:16:42
    baby when his father passed away despite
  • 00:16:45
    there being so many in the house tarap
  • 00:16:47
    was the darling of all obviously he was
  • 00:16:49
    very popular in the entire extended
  • 00:16:52
    family mothers brothers sisters and
  • 00:16:54
    Neighbors doed on him they all liked him
  • 00:16:57
    so much so that his tutor never beat him
  • 00:17:00
    everyone would have been appalled if he
  • 00:17:02
    did appalled means everyone would have
  • 00:17:04
    been shocked if he did so he was
  • 00:17:07
    obviously good at studies there is no
  • 00:17:09
    reason for him to leave that is leave
  • 00:17:12
    home half stared boys who constantly
  • 00:17:14
    stole fruit from trees and were thrashed
  • 00:17:16
    by the owners of the trees they never
  • 00:17:17
    stayed from the village or their
  • 00:17:19
    scolding mothers that is children who
  • 00:17:21
    are naughty and who did things like you
  • 00:17:23
    know stealing fruit from trees and
  • 00:17:25
    thereby getting beaten up by the owners
  • 00:17:27
    of those trees even they did not Escape
  • 00:17:30
    or run away from the village right but
  • 00:17:32
    this person who was actually loved by
  • 00:17:35
    everyone he joined a touring J yatra
  • 00:17:39
    troop okay and he um I mean in your book
  • 00:17:44
    it is written as jatra okay uh jatra is
  • 00:17:48
    a group of folk singers and left his
  • 00:17:50
    village without a thought so look at the
  • 00:17:52
    irony he actually like he was doted upon
  • 00:17:56
    by everyone everybody liked him but but
  • 00:17:59
    yet he he he felt probably a little
  • 00:18:01
    claustrophobic with so much of attention
  • 00:18:03
    on him all the time search parties went
  • 00:18:06
    out which means everybody searched for
  • 00:18:08
    him missing person and he was brought
  • 00:18:11
    back from the jatra TR his mother
  • 00:18:14
    pressed him to her breast and drenched
  • 00:18:15
    him with tears his sisters wept too his
  • 00:18:18
    elder brother tried to perform his duty
  • 00:18:19
    as guardian but he soon abandoned his
  • 00:18:22
    feeble attempts for some time he tried
  • 00:18:24
    to advise him that this is not something
  • 00:18:26
    you should have done but then he gave
  • 00:18:30
    up uh and welcomed him with open arms
  • 00:18:33
    women invited him to their houses plied
  • 00:18:35
    him with even greater they became even
  • 00:18:37
    more affectionate even more loving
  • 00:18:39
    towards tarapada but he would not accept
  • 00:18:41
    TI this is an extremely important Line
  • 00:18:45
    This is the Crux of the story he did not
  • 00:18:48
    want to get tied up with any kind of
  • 00:18:51
    permanent relationship okay even ties of
  • 00:18:55
    love his Stars had made him a Wanderer
  • 00:18:58
    this is the most important line of the
  • 00:19:01
    story okay if he saw strange ports you
  • 00:19:04
    know his stars as of his Destiny his
  • 00:19:06
    fate had made him a Wanderer okay who
  • 00:19:09
    would keep wandering all over the place
  • 00:19:12
    if he saw strange boats on the river or
  • 00:19:14
    a sasi From A Distant region under the
  • 00:19:17
    local people tree or if Gypsy sacked by
  • 00:19:20
    the river making mats of or wicker
  • 00:19:22
    baskets
  • 00:19:32
    okay U Vier is the thing you know almost
  • 00:19:35
    like a bamboo kind of a material which
  • 00:19:37
    with which you will make those kind of
  • 00:19:39
    basket okay his heart would stir with
  • 00:19:42
    longing to be free he wanted to go out
  • 00:19:44
    again because he wanted to know more and
  • 00:19:46
    more the Curiosity to know much more
  • 00:19:50
    about this world attracted tarapada very
  • 00:19:52
    much and after he had run away two or
  • 00:19:54
    three times family and villagers gave up
  • 00:19:56
    hope of him that means after two three
  • 00:19:58
    times the fourth time they did not even
  • 00:19:59
    make an attempt to search for him to get
  • 00:20:01
    him back because they realized that even
  • 00:20:03
    after you get him back this boy is going
  • 00:20:05
    to run away again again he joined the
  • 00:20:07
    jatra troop at first but when the master
  • 00:20:09
    of the troop began to treat him almost
  • 00:20:11
    as a son and the members of The Troop
  • 00:20:14
    young or old had fallen for him which
  • 00:20:16
    means they all liked him and he tried to
  • 00:20:18
    treat him like a
  • 00:20:20
    son relationship this fell does not like
  • 00:20:23
    it so he has a claustrophobia he has an
  • 00:20:27
    aversion
  • 00:20:29
    please write this he has an aversion
  • 00:20:33
    to
  • 00:20:36
    relationships he wants to learn but he
  • 00:20:38
    doesn't want to get tied up with
  • 00:20:40
    relationships and even the people in the
  • 00:20:43
    houses where they performed especially
  • 00:20:45
    the women began to make a special fuss
  • 00:20:47
    of him one day without saying a word he
  • 00:20:49
    disappeared and could not be found so
  • 00:20:51
    from there also he disappeared whenever
  • 00:20:54
    special first means again they started
  • 00:20:55
    doting on him kind of you know
  • 00:20:59
    paying a lot of attention to him
  • 00:21:01
    tarapada was as very of ties as a young
  • 00:21:04
    fawn fawn means Jo the small one the
  • 00:21:07
    young one of a deer very means he was
  • 00:21:10
    very apprehensive he didn't like
  • 00:21:13
    it and was also like a deer in his love
  • 00:21:16
    of music so the comparison to deer that
  • 00:21:19
    is he was very of TI as a young Fawn Eon
  • 00:21:23
    is a little weary of ties and is also
  • 00:21:25
    like a deer in the love of Music it
  • 00:21:28
    enjoys music the songs of the jatra was
  • 00:21:30
    were what had first lured him away from
  • 00:21:32
    home Melody sent a trembling through his
  • 00:21:35
    veins and rhythms made his body swing so
  • 00:21:37
    he learned to dance because he had a
  • 00:21:39
    special connection with Music Folk Music
  • 00:21:42
    even as a baby he had shown such solemn
  • 00:21:44
    grownup attention at musical Gatherings
  • 00:21:47
    that even as a child he had an ear for
  • 00:21:49
    music and he would dance and he would
  • 00:21:51
    take a special liking to music sitting
  • 00:21:54
    and swaying and forgetting himself that
  • 00:21:55
    his Elders could hardly restrain their
  • 00:21:57
    Amusement so they would feel very amused
  • 00:21:59
    at the fact that he kind of seemed to
  • 00:22:01
    enjoy music so much not only music when
  • 00:22:04
    the Reigns of svan Shan uh the season
  • 00:22:07
    fell on the thick leaves when the clouds
  • 00:22:09
    thundered when the winds moaned in the
  • 00:22:12
    woods what I had written in the theme
  • 00:22:13
    points like a motherless demon child so
  • 00:22:16
    this is the use of metaphors he's kind
  • 00:22:19
    of put an imagery tagor about how it
  • 00:22:21
    would be during the rainy season in that
  • 00:22:24
    part of
  • 00:22:26
    Bengal that when the clouds thundered
  • 00:22:28
    when the wind moaned moan means it's
  • 00:22:30
    almost like acoustic imagery that he has
  • 00:22:32
    created sound imagery in the wounds like
  • 00:22:35
    Woods like a motherless demon child his
  • 00:22:38
    heart was swept away so he had you know
  • 00:22:41
    something unusual he would kind of get
  • 00:22:43
    attracted by it the call of nature the
  • 00:22:46
    call of a kite high in the sky in the
  • 00:22:48
    still heat of noon kite as in like a
  • 00:22:51
    hawk or an eagle the croaking of frogs
  • 00:22:55
    on rainy evening so look at the
  • 00:22:57
    descriptive nature of this particular
  • 00:22:59
    Story by rabindra tagor the howling of
  • 00:23:02
    jacals at night all entranced him
  • 00:23:05
    impelled by this passion for music
  • 00:23:07
    impelled means that attracted by this
  • 00:23:09
    passion for music it was not long before
  • 00:23:13
    he joined a group of panchali which
  • 00:23:16
    which is the ballots of gods and uh
  • 00:23:19
    singers gods and singers uh uh Gods and
  • 00:23:24
    Goddesses sorry um the leader of the
  • 00:23:26
    group carefully taught him songs and
  • 00:23:28
    trained him to recite the um panchali by
  • 00:23:31
    heart he too began to love him as his
  • 00:23:33
    own like a pet cage bird tarapara
  • 00:23:35
    learned a few songs and then one morning
  • 00:23:37
    flew away the moment you realize he said
  • 00:23:40
    he too began to love him as one of his
  • 00:23:42
    own the moment anyone gets too
  • 00:23:45
    emotionally attached to tarapara he is
  • 00:23:48
    not comfortable with that kind of a
  • 00:23:51
    relationship that kind of an equation
  • 00:23:53
    and he decides to escape finally he
  • 00:23:56
    joined a troop of gymnast
  • 00:23:59
    from jar to assar a fair tour the
  • 00:24:01
    district yatra troops panchali singers
  • 00:24:03
    Barts dancers and stall holders travel
  • 00:24:05
    by board from one side to another for
  • 00:24:07
    the second year running this tour round
  • 00:24:09
    of entertainment included a small
  • 00:24:11
    gymnastic troop from Kolkata at first
  • 00:24:14
    tarar joined the stall holders sold paan
  • 00:24:16
    at the fair so you see even he is not
  • 00:24:18
    shy of doing this kind of small minial
  • 00:24:21
    Works selling paan at the fair but then
  • 00:24:23
    his Natural Curiosity Drew him to this
  • 00:24:25
    wonderful skill of the gymnast and he
  • 00:24:27
    joined the their troop so he decides to
  • 00:24:29
    learn the skill set of gymnastics he had
  • 00:24:33
    taught him taught himself to play the
  • 00:24:35
    flute very well during the gymnastic
  • 00:24:36
    display he had to play lakau tumri at
  • 00:24:39
    top speed on the flute this was his only
  • 00:24:42
    task so he became part of the gymnastics
  • 00:24:44
    troop it was from this troop when he met
  • 00:24:47
    moal Babu that he had most recently
  • 00:24:51
    abonded he had learned that the zamas at
  • 00:24:54
    nandigram had founded on a larish scale
  • 00:24:55
    and amature jatra group so he tied up
  • 00:24:57
    his BND and headed for the place meeting
  • 00:25:00
    motilal Babu on the way despite these
  • 00:25:04
    connections with various groups his
  • 00:25:06
    nature had not been corrupted by any he
  • 00:25:07
    had not picked up any bad habits which
  • 00:25:11
    means not corrupted means he had not
  • 00:25:13
    picked up any bad habits he was deep
  • 00:25:15
    down entirely detached and free this is
  • 00:25:18
    an very important key phrase the foul
  • 00:25:21
    language he had heard the Dreadful SES
  • 00:25:23
    he had seen had not fixed themselves in
  • 00:25:24
    mind he had not picked up any
  • 00:25:26
    four-letter words he was not used to
  • 00:25:27
    abuse in if he had seen something very
  • 00:25:30
    bad it did not kind of make an imprint
  • 00:25:32
    on his mind his mind was pure only
  • 00:25:35
    absorbing the good things that he wanted
  • 00:25:38
    to learn from different people they
  • 00:25:40
    passed him by he remained Unbound by any
  • 00:25:43
    kind of habit or custom no bad habit he
  • 00:25:46
    swam in the murky Waters of the world
  • 00:25:49
    with pure white wings like a swan okay
  • 00:25:52
    so this is an important comparison like
  • 00:25:54
    a swan a swan is what a swan is a very
  • 00:25:57
    great a
  • 00:26:00
    full
  • 00:26:02
    bird however many times his curiosity
  • 00:26:04
    made him dive in his wings could not be
  • 00:26:06
    soaked or soiled so even when he got
  • 00:26:09
    curious and ended up seeing something
  • 00:26:12
    undesirable his wings did not get soaked
  • 00:26:14
    of soil means he was not corrupted in
  • 00:26:17
    any way there was a pure and natural
  • 00:26:19
    innocence in this runaway boy's
  • 00:26:21
    expression so much so that the worldly
  • 00:26:23
    wise motilal Babu invited him in without
  • 00:26:26
    doubt or question and with great Den so
  • 00:26:29
    Mo Babu observed all these aspects in
  • 00:26:32
    tarapada and he decided to invite him to
  • 00:26:35
    travel with him uh wherever he wanted to
  • 00:26:38
    go to nandigram so he kind of invited
  • 00:26:41
    him to travel with him to
  • 00:26:43
    nandigram okay now let's come to part
  • 00:26:46
    two the story I think is published in
  • 00:26:47
    part five parts in the afternoon the
  • 00:26:50
    boat set
  • 00:26:53
    sail in the afternoon the boat set SE
  • 00:26:56
    Anapa continued to ask the boy kind
  • 00:26:58
    questions about his home and family he
  • 00:27:00
    answered
  • 00:27:04
    laconically what does it mean it means
  • 00:27:08
    using few words so he is not someone who
  • 00:27:12
    kind of speaks too much and then went
  • 00:27:15
    out on Deck to escape because he did not
  • 00:27:18
    want to be subjected to more and more
  • 00:27:20
    questions from Anapa the monsoon River
  • 00:27:22
    swollen to the maximum fullness which
  • 00:27:24
    means it was the monsoon season so as a
  • 00:27:26
    result of which the river was absolutely
  • 00:27:29
    full when it's a full River you
  • 00:27:31
    generally use this phrase swollen River
  • 00:27:34
    seem to Harry the Earth with Reckless
  • 00:27:36
    turbulence in the sense that you know
  • 00:27:38
    you kind of are on the earth with a lot
  • 00:27:40
    of turbulence there's a lot of
  • 00:27:41
    turbulence the waves are there so it's
  • 00:27:43
    not a very calm kind of river in the
  • 00:27:46
    cloudless sunshine the half sunk reads
  • 00:27:48
    along the bank the fields of succulent
  • 00:27:51
    sugar can that is full of sugar and the
  • 00:27:54
    far of Bluey Green Woods kissing the
  • 00:27:57
    Horizon so you see the descriptive
  • 00:27:59
    nature of this particular story that
  • 00:28:01
    he's talking about the scenery that he's
  • 00:28:03
    seeing so it is something which is
  • 00:28:05
    observing Mother Nature At Close
  • 00:28:08
    Quarters seem transformed by the touch
  • 00:28:10
    of a golden wand into new
  • 00:28:13
    Beauty you're talking about the how the
  • 00:28:16
    sunshine is affecting the nature around
  • 00:28:18
    that place as they're traveling on the
  • 00:28:20
    board the speechless the speechless Sky
  • 00:28:24
    gazed down in Wonder everything was
  • 00:28:26
    alive throbbing a washed with confident
  • 00:28:29
    light shiny with newness bursting with
  • 00:28:31
    plenty so it's basically describing the
  • 00:28:34
    absolute beautiful site that he was
  • 00:28:36
    seeing while he was going on that boat
  • 00:28:38
    tarapara took refuge on the uh tarapara
  • 00:28:42
    took refuge on the roof of the boat in
  • 00:28:44
    the shade of the sail sloping pastures
  • 00:28:47
    flooded Jude Fields green Rippling late
  • 00:28:49
    Autumn Patty narrow paths leading from
  • 00:28:51
    the guards and Villages shaded by
  • 00:28:53
    encircling foliage foliage as in the
  • 00:28:56
    vegetation so he kind of decided took
  • 00:28:58
    Refuge means he decided to rest there on
  • 00:29:01
    the roof of the boat in the shade of the
  • 00:29:04
    sail the sail as in this is the boat and
  • 00:29:07
    this is the
  • 00:29:09
    sail so you will have a bigger boat
  • 00:29:11
    where you have a roof also so um to this
  • 00:29:18
    water Earth and Sky this movement of
  • 00:29:20
    life and sound this varied levels and
  • 00:29:22
    vast Vistas to this huge immovable mute
  • 00:29:25
    unblinking natural world so he's used a
  • 00:29:28
    whole lot of adjectives out there this
  • 00:29:30
    was the old style of writing the boy was
  • 00:29:33
    intimately linked yet Not For a Moment
  • 00:29:35
    did it try to hold him with its loving
  • 00:29:37
    Embrace so you see all this mother
  • 00:29:40
    nature is there Mother Nature does not
  • 00:29:43
    establish a hold on tarap human beings
  • 00:29:46
    do and he's uncomfortable with the
  • 00:29:48
    relationships that human beings try to
  • 00:29:51
    impose on him whereas he's perfectly all
  • 00:29:54
    right with Mother Nature that he just
  • 00:29:56
    sees learns from but it does not try to
  • 00:29:59
    impose herself on tarapada CS running on
  • 00:30:03
    the banks with Tails upraised ponies
  • 00:30:05
    grazing and hopping about with hobble
  • 00:30:07
    legs king fisher swooping down from
  • 00:30:09
    fishing net poles to plop into the water
  • 00:30:11
    to catch fish king fisher as in the bird
  • 00:30:14
    boys splashing women shly chatting as
  • 00:30:17
    they stood chesty floating their saris
  • 00:30:19
    out in front to rub them clean fish
  • 00:30:21
    wives with baskets s tucked up buying
  • 00:30:23
    fish from the fishermen all of this
  • 00:30:25
    tarap washed with unflagging which means
  • 00:30:28
    his curiosity did not go down did not
  • 00:30:32
    reduce he had a lot of curiosity to see
  • 00:30:34
    all these sides as he was going on the
  • 00:30:37
    boat never were his eyes sated means it
  • 00:30:40
    did not you know his eyes were
  • 00:30:42
    not fed up with seeing so much as he sat
  • 00:30:47
    he soon got
  • 00:30:51
    talking as he sat he soon got talking
  • 00:30:54
    with the Hensen and hemen some I mean
  • 00:30:57
    the people who would be rowing the boat
  • 00:30:59
    sometimes he took the lagi which is one
  • 00:31:01
    of the uh
  • 00:31:05
    instruments and punted the boat
  • 00:31:11
    himself punted the boat means to propel
  • 00:31:14
    by pushing a pole against the bottom of
  • 00:31:17
    the lake or the river in this particular
  • 00:31:19
    case when the hemman needed a smoke he
  • 00:31:22
    would take the tiller when this sail
  • 00:31:23
    needed to be turned he helped skillfully
  • 00:31:26
    let me just check with the original
  • 00:31:27
    thing but there's a difference in this
  • 00:31:29
    particular
  • 00:31:30
    Edition one
  • 00:31:34
    minute no more
  • 00:31:37
    thought just before dusk
  • 00:31:40
    Anapa called tarap and ask what do you
  • 00:31:42
    like to eat at night whatever I get I
  • 00:31:44
    don't eat every day so he's not someone
  • 00:31:46
    as we have already known that he doesn't
  • 00:31:48
    eat much she felt disturbed by this
  • 00:31:50
    beautiful Brahman Bo indifference to her
  • 00:31:52
    Hospitality because she thought that he
  • 00:31:54
    would also reciprocate the affection
  • 00:31:57
    that she's showing for for him but he
  • 00:31:58
    seems to be rather a little cut off you
  • 00:32:01
    know a little you know he doesn't want
  • 00:32:03
    to establish get very close to her she
  • 00:32:05
    long to feed cloth and give sucker to
  • 00:32:07
    him means to kind of take care of him um
  • 00:32:10
    but she could not discover how to please
  • 00:32:12
    him she ostentatiously sent her servants
  • 00:32:15
    to buy milk and sweets that is she
  • 00:32:17
    thought if she feeds him more and takes
  • 00:32:19
    care of more which is something which he
  • 00:32:20
    does not like but she is not aware of
  • 00:32:22
    that so ostentatiously means that you
  • 00:32:25
    know take care of with all the different
  • 00:32:27
    kinds of things but by milk and sweets
  • 00:32:28
    tarap ate the sweets willingly enough
  • 00:32:30
    but would not touch the milk even the
  • 00:32:32
    Tak turn matilal urged
  • 00:32:35
    him to drink it but he simply replied I
  • 00:32:38
    don't like it purn means someone who is
  • 00:32:41
    reserved in speech that is does not
  • 00:32:44
    speak
  • 00:32:46
    much three days passed tarap expertly
  • 00:32:49
    joined in everything from the cooking
  • 00:32:50
    and shopping to the sailing of the boat
  • 00:32:52
    they're still on the boat they have not
  • 00:32:54
    reached their destination anything he
  • 00:32:56
    saw interested him any work that he did
  • 00:32:58
    absorbed him his sight his hands and his
  • 00:33:00
    mind were ever active like nature
  • 00:33:02
    herself he was always Serene and
  • 00:33:04
    detached yet always busy so he would
  • 00:33:07
    always absorb him in some work or the
  • 00:33:09
    other no work you know this work I won't
  • 00:33:11
    do he will never say that he would
  • 00:33:13
    always take to any kind of activity
  • 00:33:16
    people always dwell in a fixed place but
  • 00:33:18
    tarap was like a joyous wave On Life's
  • 00:33:21
    unending stream that is he was just
  • 00:33:23
    going along with life he was not fixed
  • 00:33:26
    you know I will do only this so he was
  • 00:33:28
    kind of willing to experiment with
  • 00:33:30
    anything and everything past or future
  • 00:33:32
    meant nothing moving forward was the
  • 00:33:34
    only thing that mattered that he was not
  • 00:33:36
    fixated about his past or his
  • 00:33:39
    future he was kind of you know
  • 00:33:41
    interested in just learning new things
  • 00:33:43
    and doing different kinds of activities
  • 00:33:45
    by mixing with various groups he had
  • 00:33:47
    learned all sorts of delightful
  • 00:33:48
    accomplishments so he was a very
  • 00:33:50
    accomplished person mainly because at a
  • 00:33:52
    very young age he had mixed with
  • 00:33:54
    different kinds of people so he had
  • 00:33:55
    different kinds of experiences and from
  • 00:33:57
    each one of them like a sponge he had
  • 00:34:00
    imbibed lots of things things were
  • 00:34:02
    stamped on his mind with astonishing
  • 00:34:04
    ease unclouded as it was by any kind of
  • 00:34:07
    worry you know he had learned all this
  • 00:34:09
    so they were like a stamp on his mind he
  • 00:34:11
    knew panchali folktales Kiran and long
  • 00:34:15
    pieces from yatras jatras moal Babu
  • 00:34:17
    habitually read the ram to his wife and
  • 00:34:19
    daughter one evening he had just got to
  • 00:34:21
    tell the story of kush and love when
  • 00:34:24
    tarapara unable to control himself
  • 00:34:26
    unable to restrain himself came down
  • 00:34:27
    from the roof of the boat and said put
  • 00:34:29
    the book away I know a song about kushan
  • 00:34:31
    love listen he began a panchali dashu
  • 00:34:34
    race was sweet as a flute Flo on
  • 00:34:40
    swiftly
  • 00:34:43
    okay
  • 00:34:45
    book that's said this is the original
  • 00:34:47
    book this thing so there may be some
  • 00:34:49
    words which is okay you can go by your
  • 00:34:51
    book The hemman and Heman came and
  • 00:34:53
    peered through the door of the cabin as
  • 00:34:55
    thus fell a stream of laughter p and
  • 00:34:57
    music spread through the evening air the
  • 00:35:00
    banks became alert and people in passing
  • 00:35:02
    boards were lured for a moment and
  • 00:35:03
    strained because that means what that he
  • 00:35:06
    was extremely melodious and gifted in
  • 00:35:09
    the way he was singing that particular
  • 00:35:12
    song on love and Kush when the panchali
  • 00:35:15
    had
  • 00:35:17
    uh yeah when the panchali had finished
  • 00:35:20
    everyone sighed deeply wishing that it
  • 00:35:22
    would last forever they did not want the
  • 00:35:24
    song to end it was so beautiful the
  • 00:35:26
    tearful anap
  • 00:35:28
    take the boy and press him to her breast
  • 00:35:29
    and bury her face in her in his ear
  • 00:35:32
    exactly the same phrase he has used
  • 00:35:34
    which he had used earlier for Tara's
  • 00:35:37
    mother the first time that he had been
  • 00:35:39
    brought back moal Babu thought if I
  • 00:35:41
    could somehow keep this boy he would
  • 00:35:43
    make up for my having no son the little
  • 00:35:45
    girl chush Rashi however was full of
  • 00:35:48
    envy and jealousy okay these are
  • 00:35:50
    synonyms but he has used them
  • 00:35:53
    twice she was her parents only child
  • 00:35:56
    sole claimant on their affection that is
  • 00:35:58
    only she wanted to get their affection
  • 00:36:00
    and she did not want that love and
  • 00:36:01
    affection to be shared with anyone else
  • 00:36:04
    there was no end to her willfulness and
  • 00:36:06
    obstinacy she had her own opinions
  • 00:36:09
    obstinacy means Hut you know very
  • 00:36:11
    stubborn um willful means wanting to do
  • 00:36:14
    whatever she wanted to do she had her
  • 00:36:16
    own opinions about food clothes and
  • 00:36:18
    hairstyles but there was no consistency
  • 00:36:20
    in them so she liked to keep
  • 00:36:21
    experimenting and do different kinds of
  • 00:36:23
    things whenever she was invited out her
  • 00:36:25
    mother was terrified that she would make
  • 00:36:27
    impossible demands over dress so she was
  • 00:36:29
    a very demanding kind of person
  • 00:36:31
    especially when it came to clothes if
  • 00:36:34
    her hairstyle displeased her to do and
  • 00:36:36
    redo it made no difference and merely
  • 00:36:38
    led to a tantrum so she was a spoiled
  • 00:36:41
    child that's what you realized she was
  • 00:36:43
    like everything she was like this with
  • 00:36:45
    everything but if she was in a good mood
  • 00:36:47
    she was amable to anything that she
  • 00:36:49
    would agree to anything and would show
  • 00:36:51
    excessive love for her mother hugging
  • 00:36:53
    her kissing her laughing in an
  • 00:36:55
    unbalanced way the girl was a
  • 00:36:58
    puzzle but now her volatile feelings
  • 00:37:01
    began to concentrate in Fierce animosity
  • 00:37:03
    animosity means her
  • 00:37:06
    dislike okay for tarapara and she caused
  • 00:37:10
    exceptional trouble to her parents
  • 00:37:11
    because they want to wanted to almost
  • 00:37:13
    like take him in adoption as their son
  • 00:37:16
    but she did not like it because she was
  • 00:37:18
    feeling very envious and very jealous at
  • 00:37:21
    meal she scowled you know made a face
  • 00:37:23
    and you know very unpleasant kind of an
  • 00:37:24
    expression and pushed her plate away she
  • 00:37:27
    would complain about the cooking slap
  • 00:37:29
    the maid and object to everything
  • 00:37:30
    because she wanted to throw a tantrum to
  • 00:37:32
    make herself feel important because she
  • 00:37:34
    realized that he was getting a lot more
  • 00:37:36
    of the attention so she wanted to draw
  • 00:37:38
    the attention to herself reminds me of a
  • 00:37:41
    student of
  • 00:37:42
    mine the more that Tara's
  • 00:37:45
    accomplishments impressed her and others
  • 00:37:47
    the more Angry she became she would not
  • 00:37:49
    admit that she he had any he would say
  • 00:37:52
    that he has no virtues okay undeniable
  • 00:37:55
    evidence of them made her even more iCal
  • 00:37:57
    that if somebody says that no look he
  • 00:37:59
    sings so well she would become even more
  • 00:38:01
    critical of his singing on the night the
  • 00:38:04
    tarapara sang about love and Kush Anapa
  • 00:38:06
    thought wild animals can be tained by
  • 00:38:08
    music so perhaps my daughter will soften
  • 00:38:10
    so that's what Anapa thought that you
  • 00:38:12
    know maybe my daughter will also change
  • 00:38:14
    how did you like it charu she asked she
  • 00:38:16
    gave no answer merely tossed her head
  • 00:38:18
    implying I did not like it at all and
  • 00:38:20
    shall never like it okay now realizing
  • 00:38:23
    that charu was jealous her mother
  • 00:38:24
    stopped showing affection for tarapara
  • 00:38:26
    so the Anapa is a little sharp she
  • 00:38:28
    realizes that if I show affection to
  • 00:38:30
    this boy my daughter is not liking it so
  • 00:38:33
    it's better that I don't show affection
  • 00:38:34
    for him in her
  • 00:38:36
    presence after dark when Chu had gone to
  • 00:38:39
    bed after eating early Anapa would sit
  • 00:38:41
    by the door of the cabin and they're
  • 00:38:43
    still on the board mind you Mo Babu and
  • 00:38:45
    tarapara would sit outside at Anna's
  • 00:38:47
    request tarapara would sing with this
  • 00:38:49
    singing the goddess of sleeping darkened
  • 00:38:51
    homes on the bank would sink into a TR
  • 00:38:54
    so the two Banks they could also hear
  • 00:38:56
    the villages could also vage could also
  • 00:38:58
    hear the song being sung from the
  • 00:39:02
    boat and anap pun's heart swelled with
  • 00:39:05
    love and appreciation do you remember
  • 00:39:07
    that song of course it's much much
  • 00:39:09
    before your
  • 00:39:12
    times um Amar PR the
  • 00:39:17
    song actually I mean supposed to be have
  • 00:39:19
    shot on the hugi but I know there are
  • 00:39:21
    some cheating done with
  • 00:39:23
    it kishor Kumar
  • 00:39:25
    song which ised on Rajesh
  • 00:39:31
    [Music]
  • 00:39:50
    [Music]
  • 00:39:54
    K bu
  • 00:40:00
    d d d anyway so um with this singing the
  • 00:40:05
    goddess of sleeping darkened homes on
  • 00:40:07
    the bank would sink into a trance that
  • 00:40:09
    is they would be completely mesmerized
  • 00:40:11
    by the quality of his singing and anap
  • 00:40:14
    paa's heart swelled with love and
  • 00:40:16
    appreciation she felt much more love for
  • 00:40:18
    boy for the boy because of his singing
  • 00:40:21
    but charu would get up and shout
  • 00:40:22
    tearfully and angrily mother I can't get
  • 00:40:24
    to sleep with this noise so referring to
  • 00:40:27
    the song the music as noise which can be
  • 00:40:30
    so very insulting she found it quite
  • 00:40:34
    unbearable to be sent to bed on her own
  • 00:40:36
    while her parents sat and listened to
  • 00:40:38
    tarap singing so she was essentially she
  • 00:40:41
    disliked the fact that she was not the
  • 00:40:43
    sole claimant on their affection anymore
  • 00:40:46
    so this is an important question which
  • 00:40:48
    you would get for a five mark question
  • 00:40:50
    for sure and as a 10 mark on the
  • 00:40:52
    relationship between tarapada and Chu
  • 00:40:54
    Shashi please prepare it using these
  • 00:40:57
    kind of instances and keywords the
  • 00:41:00
    natural fierceness of this fiery
  • 00:41:01
    blackeyed girl fascinated tarap now he
  • 00:41:04
    found it quite fascinating the way she
  • 00:41:06
    reacted okay that she was very very
  • 00:41:08
    Fierce and
  • 00:41:10
    wild he would tell her stories sing her
  • 00:41:12
    songs play her the flute made great
  • 00:41:14
    efforts to win her around becomes become
  • 00:41:16
    friends with her but with no success at
  • 00:41:19
    all not that see this is an interesting
  • 00:41:21
    thing he did not like when people showed
  • 00:41:24
    too much of attention so he's very very
  • 00:41:26
    intrigued by this girl who is not giving
  • 00:41:29
    him the attention she's actually
  • 00:41:30
    reacting in completely the opposite way
  • 00:41:33
    so he tries to kind of win her over only
  • 00:41:37
    in the afternoons when he bathed in the
  • 00:41:38
    swollen River that is the river which
  • 00:41:40
    was full sporting his fair pure body in
  • 00:41:42
    a swimming display worthy of a young
  • 00:41:44
    water God please use this keyword it's
  • 00:41:47
    an interesting keyword only then she
  • 00:41:49
    could not help being attracted just a
  • 00:41:51
    little bit because she was of course
  • 00:41:53
    much younger than her just 9 years old
  • 00:41:55
    but she was attracted towards him she
  • 00:41:57
    would watch him then but she did not
  • 00:41:59
    reveal her interest to anyone and born
  • 00:42:01
    actress that she was so she was good at
  • 00:42:04
    hiding her feelings carried on knitting
  • 00:42:07
    a Wen scarf with apparent indifference
  • 00:42:09
    to Tara's water sport so she behaved as
  • 00:42:12
    though she did not care for what he did
  • 00:42:15
    his his skill in swimming in that kind
  • 00:42:18
    of manner and she kind of behaved as
  • 00:42:22
    though she just couldn't care any less
  • 00:42:26
    harap took no not notice of nandigram
  • 00:42:28
    when they passed it now this is again
  • 00:42:29
    interesting just like Anapa and moal
  • 00:42:32
    Babu also want him to be at their home
  • 00:42:36
    and take care of him as their son even
  • 00:42:39
    tarapara does not show any interest to
  • 00:42:41
    get off at nandigram which was his
  • 00:42:42
    original idea uh and decides to continue
  • 00:42:46
    on the journey so he took no notice of
  • 00:42:48
    nandigram when they passed by nandigram
  • 00:42:51
    the large boat sometimes with it sales
  • 00:42:52
    up sometimes toed proceeded slowly on
  • 00:42:55
    down rivers and tributaries and the of
  • 00:42:57
    the passengers to float with a soft and
  • 00:42:59
    easy pace through the peace and beauty
  • 00:43:01
    of the scene so it is obviously taking a
  • 00:43:03
    long time no one was in any kind of
  • 00:43:05
    hurry long afternoons were spent bathing
  • 00:43:07
    and eating and as soon as dusk fell the
  • 00:43:09
    boat was moved at a village guard by
  • 00:43:11
    trees busing with crickets and a glow
  • 00:43:13
    with fireflies so this was like the
  • 00:43:15
    routine on many days after about 10 days
  • 00:43:18
    so this is about the time that it takes
  • 00:43:20
    for them to get to their particular
  • 00:43:22
    Village which is at Catalia ponies and a
  • 00:43:25
    palanquin palanquin is you know if you
  • 00:43:28
    are this thing like
  • 00:43:32
    uh so one person here and one person
  • 00:43:36
    here holds it by the shoulder and the
  • 00:43:38
    person mostly women would sit inside and
  • 00:43:41
    would be carried so that they don't have
  • 00:43:43
    to walk so this is how it was done in
  • 00:43:45
    those times in India especially rural
  • 00:43:47
    India a god of Honor so a palanquin was
  • 00:43:51
    sent from the house to receive the zamas
  • 00:43:53
    a guard of Honor with bamboo lotties
  • 00:43:55
    fired rounds of blanks rusly uh I don't
  • 00:43:59
    think I'm pronouncing it correctly eoe
  • 00:44:01
    by The Village cross this this
  • 00:44:04
    essentially means to create a loud noise
  • 00:44:09
    meanwhile tarapada slipped off the boat
  • 00:44:11
    please check the pronunciation I don't
  • 00:44:12
    think I have said it very correctly
  • 00:44:14
    meanwhile tarapada slipped off the boat
  • 00:44:16
    and quickly looked around the
  • 00:44:18
    village calling one now he's making new
  • 00:44:21
    friends because he wants to learn new
  • 00:44:23
    things because this is another new kind
  • 00:44:26
    of experience for him one villager as
  • 00:44:29
    Dada another as Kura Kura means an uncle
  • 00:44:32
    another Dei and another masi he
  • 00:44:34
    established friendly relations with
  • 00:44:35
    everyone in a couple of hours because he
  • 00:44:38
    had no normal ties he could get to know
  • 00:44:39
    people with amazing ease and speed
  • 00:44:41
    within a few days he had one all heart
  • 00:44:43
    so pretty much similar kind of
  • 00:44:46
    experience he mixed with everyone on
  • 00:44:48
    equal terms he was unconventional yet
  • 00:44:50
    able to adapt to any situation or work
  • 00:44:53
    with boys he was a boy yet somehow
  • 00:44:54
    separate and special he was he behaved
  • 00:44:57
    like a boy with boys of his age but it
  • 00:44:59
    was very obvious that he was a little
  • 00:45:01
    better than them with older people he
  • 00:45:04
    was not a boy yet not so precocious
  • 00:45:07
    either precocious means having abilities
  • 00:45:09
    at a very young age okay with herders he
  • 00:45:12
    was a herder that is for goats and sheep
  • 00:45:14
    yet also a Brahman he joined in with
  • 00:45:17
    things as if used to them all his life
  • 00:45:20
    he would be chatting in the Sweet Shop
  • 00:45:22
    the sweet maker would say could you
  • 00:45:23
    could you mind the shop for a while
  • 00:45:26
    means could you mind means could you
  • 00:45:28
    take care of the shop for a while I
  • 00:45:32
    shall not be long means I will come very
  • 00:45:34
    soon cool as a cucumber okay that is he
  • 00:45:37
    was a very cool cat no problem I will
  • 00:45:39
    take care tarap sat there keeping the
  • 00:45:41
    Flies of the sesh and with a Sal Leaf
  • 00:45:43
    sesh as you know is a sweet he could not
  • 00:45:45
    Bengali sweet he could even
  • 00:45:48
    make he could even make sweets himself
  • 00:45:51
    knew something of weaving and was not
  • 00:45:52
    himself ignorant of how to turn a Potter
  • 00:45:55
    wheel so this Talent also he had tarap
  • 00:45:59
    reigned over the entire Village reigned
  • 00:46:01
    means not as in ruled ruled over the
  • 00:46:03
    hearts which means he won over
  • 00:46:05
    everyone's Hearts everyone was extremely
  • 00:46:08
    fond of him there was just one young
  • 00:46:10
    girl whose hatred he simply could not
  • 00:46:12
    overcome that is charu perhaps it was
  • 00:46:15
    because this girl so fiercely wished him
  • 00:46:17
    to leave that he stayed on for so long
  • 00:46:19
    otherwise he would have left because
  • 00:46:21
    other whenever people are very fond of
  • 00:46:23
    him we know it for a fact that he leaves
  • 00:46:25
    but the reason and this could come as a
  • 00:46:26
    reasoning question the reason why he
  • 00:46:29
    does not leave this time is
  • 00:46:31
    because it was because of this girl uh
  • 00:46:35
    whose hatred he could not overcome but
  • 00:46:37
    Chu
  • 00:46:38
    Shashi now proved how hard it is to
  • 00:46:41
    Fathom even a juvenile female mind so
  • 00:46:43
    he's making a slightly sexist kind of a
  • 00:46:45
    comment that even the mind of a juvenile
  • 00:46:49
    Fe female mind is something which cannot
  • 00:46:51
    be easily understood now comes the
  • 00:46:55
    second character the second female
  • 00:46:56
    character apart I mean if you're not
  • 00:46:58
    talking about Anapa chush Shashi and one
  • 00:47:00
    more girl called Sona money now this
  • 00:47:03
    person's daughter Sona money had been
  • 00:47:05
    widowed at the age of five now this is
  • 00:47:07
    very important that he is making a
  • 00:47:10
    comment on
  • 00:47:11
    child marriage because somebody this
  • 00:47:14
    girl had got married at the age early
  • 00:47:17
    and had been widowed at the age of five
  • 00:47:19
    she was charu's PLM so she's much
  • 00:47:21
    younger Chu is nine isn't that the case
  • 00:47:25
    Chu is nine right I keep getting this
  • 00:47:28
    small
  • 00:47:45
    details one minute one minute is 9 years
  • 00:47:51
    I remember seeing n keep forgetting
  • 00:47:53
    should not get it wrong
  • 00:47:57
    ah 9year old
  • 00:48:05
    correct okay Cho so
  • 00:48:09
    uh yeah so she was nine this girl was
  • 00:48:12
    five oh no sorry uh it's possible that
  • 00:48:15
    she's not five anymore she had been
  • 00:48:17
    widowed at the age of five so she's
  • 00:48:19
    probably at the same age we'll find that
  • 00:48:21
    out she had been ill for a while and had
  • 00:48:23
    not been able to go out to see her
  • 00:48:25
    friend when she was recovered and came
  • 00:48:26
    to see her again a rift between them
  • 00:48:28
    came about almost for no reason Chu had
  • 00:48:31
    been speaking so they had they had a
  • 00:48:33
    coral charu had been speaking at length
  • 00:48:35
    about tarup she hoped by saying what a
  • 00:48:37
    precious asset he was to astonish and
  • 00:48:39
    intriguer so while she does not like him
  • 00:48:42
    when he's not around she says nice
  • 00:48:44
    things about tarapada to her friend to
  • 00:48:47
    show what not because she's very fond of
  • 00:48:49
    tarapada but to say that you know she
  • 00:48:52
    knows someone who is so good so by
  • 00:48:55
    extension she wants to feel good you
  • 00:48:57
    realize the temperament the mind of chu
  • 00:49:01
    but when she discovered he was known to
  • 00:49:03
    sonani already that she called bamun
  • 00:49:07
    takun masi and that Sonam called him
  • 00:49:09
    Dada when she heard that he not only
  • 00:49:11
    treated mother and daughter to Kean
  • 00:49:13
    tunes on his flute but had at sonam's
  • 00:49:16
    request made her a bamboo flute that he
  • 00:49:18
    picked her fruits he had picked her
  • 00:49:20
    fruits from high branches and flowers
  • 00:49:22
    from Thor thy trees so you had done all
  • 00:49:25
    these for sonami and her mother when she
  • 00:49:28
    heard all this DTS of fire stabbed her
  • 00:49:31
    DTS of fire means she got extremely
  • 00:49:34
    angry and envious she had thought of
  • 00:49:37
    tarap as their tarap he he belongs to
  • 00:49:40
    their family how could another family
  • 00:49:43
    also get to know him and interact with
  • 00:49:46
    him so closely that was her
  • 00:49:49
    problem so that ordinary people that and
  • 00:49:52
    this was you know guarded closely that
  • 00:49:55
    he was their guest their atiti okay and
  • 00:49:59
    he was belonged to them so that ordinary
  • 00:50:01
    people might Glimpse him yet never be
  • 00:50:03
    able to grasp him you know that for them
  • 00:50:05
    he should just be someone they know but
  • 00:50:07
    not someone they would be knowing very
  • 00:50:10
    closely they would admire his Beauty and
  • 00:50:12
    talent from a distance and Chu shashi's
  • 00:50:14
    family would gain Glory thereby so they
  • 00:50:16
    want she wanted reflected Glory she
  • 00:50:19
    wanted to please use this phrase she
  • 00:50:21
    wanted to bask in his reflected
  • 00:50:28
    Glory why would Sonam have such easy
  • 00:50:31
    contact with this singular divinely
  • 00:50:33
    favored Brahman boy okay divinely
  • 00:50:35
    favored means someone who had lot of
  • 00:50:37
    talent if Chu's family had not taken him
  • 00:50:42
    in had not looked after him how would
  • 00:50:44
    sonamoni ever have seen him so you see
  • 00:50:46
    it's a very young child's mind sonam's
  • 00:50:48
    Dada indeed she burned all over at the
  • 00:50:51
    thought she didn't like it why was the
  • 00:50:53
    charu who had tried to strike the boy
  • 00:50:54
    down with arrows of hatred so Ang
  • 00:50:56
    anxious to claim so rights over him so
  • 00:50:59
    tagor is asking this question and he
  • 00:51:01
    says understand this who will okay
  • 00:51:04
    please try to understand this I don't
  • 00:51:05
    understand this that's what Tor is
  • 00:51:07
    trying to say you know it's it's an
  • 00:51:08
    author's comment out here this paragraph
  • 00:51:11
    is like an author's comment he's saying
  • 00:51:13
    I don't understand she was full of
  • 00:51:15
    hatred but why should why should she be
  • 00:51:18
    so Keen to claim Soul rights over him
  • 00:51:22
    that only he belongs to only our family
  • 00:51:25
    the three of us no one else I don't
  • 00:51:27
    understand it if you understand it
  • 00:51:29
    please
  • 00:51:29
    do later that day and that is something
  • 00:51:32
    which we need to understand and try to
  • 00:51:34
    reason it out later that day and as I
  • 00:51:37
    have said you know because she had that
  • 00:51:39
    thing that she wanted to bask in his
  • 00:51:41
    reflected Glory but she did not want to
  • 00:51:43
    share so she was kind of you know
  • 00:51:45
    envious of the fact that she did not get
  • 00:51:47
    singular attention but at the same time
  • 00:51:49
    when he was known to everyone else she
  • 00:51:50
    did not know so by Nature she was a very
  • 00:51:53
    jealous and let's say a very insecure
  • 00:51:56
    kind of person later that day Chu had a
  • 00:51:58
    serious RI of sonamoni over another
  • 00:52:00
    trivial matter so you realize that many
  • 00:52:03
    trivial matters she seems to have a
  • 00:52:04
    dispute with sonamoni she marched into
  • 00:52:06
    Tara's room found his beloved flute and
  • 00:52:09
    callously callously means very
  • 00:52:11
    irresponsible manner jumped and stamped
  • 00:52:13
    on it break it she was still doing it
  • 00:52:15
    when tarapada came in he was amazed by
  • 00:52:17
    the image of Destruction that the girl
  • 00:52:19
    presented how could someone break a
  • 00:52:22
    flute like that charu why are is
  • 00:52:25
    smashing my flute he asked I want to
  • 00:52:27
    smash it I am going to smash it shouted
  • 00:52:30
    charu with red eyes and flushed face her
  • 00:52:32
    face is all gone red that's why it's
  • 00:52:34
    called flushed face damping
  • 00:52:36
    unnecessarily on the already smashed
  • 00:52:38
    flute she burst into loud sobs oh God I
  • 00:52:41
    can relate so much to someone I
  • 00:52:45
    know and ran from the room tarap picked
  • 00:52:48
    up the pieces turned them this way and
  • 00:52:50
    that but it was useless she had
  • 00:52:51
    completely broken it to to wreak
  • 00:52:55
    destruction that is to kind of destroy
  • 00:52:58
    it on his old innocent
  • 00:53:00
    flute was so idiotic was so absurd and
  • 00:53:04
    silly that he burst out laughing you
  • 00:53:06
    know he did not get angry but he felt
  • 00:53:08
    amused and he burst out laughing chush
  • 00:53:11
    Shashi intrigued him means you know her
  • 00:53:12
    behavior surprised him even more every
  • 00:53:16
    day he was also very intrigued and taken
  • 00:53:19
    in by the English Illustrated books in
  • 00:53:21
    moal babu's library tarapada had
  • 00:53:24
    considerable knowledge of the world but
  • 00:53:26
    he could not enter the world of these
  • 00:53:27
    pictures at all because he did not know
  • 00:53:29
    the language he tried to do so in
  • 00:53:31
    imagination but found no satisfaction in
  • 00:53:33
    this seeing his interest in these books
  • 00:53:35
    motilal said one day would you like to
  • 00:53:37
    learn English so you realize he's much
  • 00:53:39
    more generous and indulgent you will
  • 00:53:43
    understand these pictures then if you
  • 00:53:44
    are able to read I would like to learn
  • 00:53:46
    it because you know that he likes to be
  • 00:53:49
    like a sponge trying to learn as much
  • 00:53:51
    from any possible Source moal Babu
  • 00:53:54
    happily engaged the Headmaster of the
  • 00:53:55
    village secondary School Ram ratan Babu
  • 00:53:57
    to teach the boy English every
  • 00:54:01
    evening this has six parts not five
  • 00:54:03
    parts tarap set about learning English
  • 00:54:05
    with great concentration and retention
  • 00:54:07
    that he also retaining what he was
  • 00:54:09
    learning it released him into a hitherto
  • 00:54:11
    inacessible realm because it kind of
  • 00:54:14
    allowed him to read much more and learn
  • 00:54:17
    much more about the world unconnected
  • 00:54:19
    with the former World which is mostly
  • 00:54:21
    about Bengali the local people saw no
  • 00:54:24
    more of him now the locals not see much
  • 00:54:26
    more of him because at dusk when he went
  • 00:54:28
    to the empty Riverside to pay swiftly up
  • 00:54:31
    and down reciting his lessons his boyish
  • 00:54:34
    devotes devotes means who looked up to
  • 00:54:35
    him because they realized that he's
  • 00:54:37
    better than us so they all became
  • 00:54:39
    devoted to him mournfully watched you
  • 00:54:41
    know because he would be busy with
  • 00:54:42
    himself mournfully means because he's
  • 00:54:44
    not they would be sad mournfully means
  • 00:54:46
    they would be sad that he's no longer
  • 00:54:49
    interacting or playing with him with
  • 00:54:51
    them they dared not disturb his studies
  • 00:54:54
    Chu did not see much of his now formerly
  • 00:54:57
    tarapada ate in the women's quarters
  • 00:54:59
    under anap paa's loving gaze but because
  • 00:55:01
    this could take a long time he asked
  • 00:55:03
    motilal Babu to arrange for him to eat
  • 00:55:05
    outside then Anapa was hurt by this
  • 00:55:08
    because of the change in his uh food
  • 00:55:11
    okay
  • 00:55:15
    um but motilal was very pleased by
  • 00:55:17
    Tara's keenness to learn that he agreed
  • 00:55:19
    to this new
  • 00:55:22
    Arrangement now insisted that she too
  • 00:55:24
    wanted to learn English at first her
  • 00:55:26
    parents were OSI AR Baba or as they say
  • 00:55:29
    in Bengali Ur Baba that you know now she
  • 00:55:33
    also wants to do what he's doing she
  • 00:55:34
    also wants to copy the same at first her
  • 00:55:37
    parents were amused by their Bard Bard
  • 00:55:39
    means that very know uh Reckless
  • 00:55:43
    Behavior kind of
  • 00:55:45
    person lovingly laughed at it but it's
  • 00:55:48
    absurdity absurdity means silliness was
  • 00:55:50
    soon washed away by Tears she started
  • 00:55:52
    crying that you know I want to learn
  • 00:55:53
    English doting parents doting means
  • 00:55:55
    affectionate parents you know indulgent
  • 00:55:57
    parents that they were they were forced
  • 00:55:59
    to give in and she started to study
  • 00:56:00
    alongside tarapada with the same cuor
  • 00:56:03
    that ramatan Babu study however was
  • 00:56:05
    alien to her Restless nature now she was
  • 00:56:07
    not used to learning she was very
  • 00:56:10
    restless she was doing it only because
  • 00:56:11
    he was doing it and she wanted to not be
  • 00:56:14
    second to anyone she wanted to do
  • 00:56:16
    whatever he was getting to do okay she
  • 00:56:18
    fell far behind she couldn't learn
  • 00:56:20
    anything by heart couldn't bear to be
  • 00:56:22
    behind so she could not learn but she
  • 00:56:23
    was very jealous that she was not able
  • 00:56:26
    to do the same what tarapada was able to
  • 00:56:29
    do if tarapada overtook her and moved on
  • 00:56:31
    to a new lesson she was Furious and
  • 00:56:33
    burst into tears when he finished an old
  • 00:56:35
    book and bought a new one she had to buy
  • 00:56:37
    the new book too in his spare time he
  • 00:56:39
    would sit in his room learning and
  • 00:56:41
    writing his lessons because he was
  • 00:56:43
    obviously a very diligent kind of a
  • 00:56:44
    student very serious kind of a student
  • 00:56:47
    very honest kind of a student the
  • 00:56:49
    jealous girl could not stand this she
  • 00:56:51
    would secretly come and pour ink on his
  • 00:56:54
    exercise book steal his pen even tear
  • 00:56:57
    from the book The Passage that he had
  • 00:56:58
    been said to
  • 00:57:01
    learn excise homework she would tear the
  • 00:57:04
    page tarap bore with this means he
  • 00:57:07
    tolerated this bore most of this with
  • 00:57:10
    Amusement bore means here it means that
  • 00:57:12
    he tolerated all this because he was
  • 00:57:15
    amused if she went too far he slapped
  • 00:57:17
    her but he was quite unable to control
  • 00:57:20
    her he was not able to control her kind
  • 00:57:22
    of this kind of wavered kind of behavior
  • 00:57:26
    a chance occurrence saved him one day
  • 00:57:29
    truly annoyed he tore up his ink spilled
  • 00:57:31
    exercise book and sat gloomy because she
  • 00:57:33
    had poured in excise book so he tore it
  • 00:57:36
    and he kind of felt very sad Chu came to
  • 00:57:38
    the door and prepared him herself for a
  • 00:57:41
    beating she knew that he would give her
  • 00:57:43
    a slap but nothing happened tarapada
  • 00:57:45
    went on sitting in silence so he tried a
  • 00:57:47
    different style of dealing with her
  • 00:57:51
    deliberately or not deliberately the
  • 00:57:53
    girl went in and out of the room several
  • 00:57:55
    times she came so so close that tarapara
  • 00:57:57
    could if he had wished easily have
  • 00:57:59
    twacked her on her back twacked her
  • 00:58:01
    means given her a slap but he did not do
  • 00:58:04
    that and remained solemn means he
  • 00:58:06
    remained very serious the girl was in a
  • 00:58:08
    quandy quandy means she was confused
  • 00:58:11
    okay why is he not behaving the way she
  • 00:58:14
    expected him to behave how to ask for
  • 00:58:16
    forgiveness was something she had never
  • 00:58:18
    learned she did not know how to say
  • 00:58:19
    sorry yet she was extremely anxious for
  • 00:58:22
    forgiveness so you realize that she
  • 00:58:24
    wants attention she wanted attention she
  • 00:58:26
    was behaving rudely with her with him to
  • 00:58:30
    get her get his
  • 00:58:32
    attention it's like on
  • 00:58:36
    YouTube there are some people who in
  • 00:58:38
    order to draw your attention and I've
  • 00:58:40
    seen this quite often they would write
  • 00:58:42
    the most rude way because they want to
  • 00:58:45
    make you react and over a period of time
  • 00:58:47
    I have realized this don't give them the
  • 00:58:49
    attention that will be the end of it
  • 00:58:51
    that's something which I have learned
  • 00:58:53
    over a period of time
  • 00:58:57
    finally seeing no other way she took a
  • 00:58:59
    piece of the TA exercise book like
  • 00:59:01
    that's what I mean I remember last year
  • 00:59:03
    there are a few students who wrote
  • 00:59:05
    extremely rude
  • 00:59:06
    stuff and I did not dignify them with
  • 00:59:09
    the response I did just kept quiet
  • 00:59:12
    because they would think that if you
  • 00:59:13
    write rude stuff you know it would get
  • 00:59:14
    under my skin my thing is that I go
  • 00:59:17
    silent I choose silence as my weapon I
  • 00:59:20
    do not react because I do not as a
  • 00:59:23
    matter of policy I do not believe in
  • 00:59:25
    phys physical violence of course I don't
  • 00:59:27
    believe in verbal violence also so when
  • 00:59:29
    you do not believe in violence of any
  • 00:59:32
    kind it's the best policy because then
  • 00:59:34
    you are telling that person that you are
  • 00:59:37
    not worthy of my response that is even
  • 00:59:41
    that is a even bigger insult than shout
  • 00:59:44
    and scream at the person or reply in the
  • 00:59:47
    same kind either I will reply with
  • 00:59:49
    silence I mean not reply at all or I
  • 00:59:52
    will reply with some kind of fun kind of
  • 00:59:55
    a response which which also would be
  • 00:59:57
    mocking the person that you try to be
  • 00:59:59
    rude to me it does not affect me that's
  • 01:00:02
    what I want to
  • 01:00:05
    say I always tell to students and I want
  • 01:00:09
    students to know this you know before
  • 01:00:11
    you write something rude or abuse
  • 01:00:14
    someone like me think about how would
  • 01:00:17
    you feel if someone said that to your
  • 01:00:20
    father or your brother or your mother or
  • 01:00:22
    your sister or your uncle how would you
  • 01:00:25
    feel as simple as that one of the
  • 01:00:27
    reasons and I've said this in one of my
  • 01:00:29
    earlier videos one of the reasons why I
  • 01:00:31
    decided against doing U any courses was
  • 01:00:34
    that you know I was you know that whole
  • 01:00:37
    attitude of students you know
  • 01:00:40
    ke giv you, rupees I've given you 12200
  • 01:00:43
    rupees I've given you 1300 rupees now
  • 01:00:45
    you Jolly will are like my slave you
  • 01:00:48
    need to I will say this even if you have
  • 01:00:51
    written the answer to this if I ask this
  • 01:00:53
    you need to write the answer again you
  • 01:00:56
    are my slave because I have paid you
  • 01:00:58
    this 12200 rupees for an entire year of
  • 01:01:00
    12 months 100 rupees per month sorry to
  • 01:01:02
    say I do not dignify you with that kind
  • 01:01:07
    of an importance that I would do that
  • 01:01:09
    which is why I've decided no more
  • 01:01:11
    courses I will do these videos with the
  • 01:01:13
    same kind of honesty but some of the
  • 01:01:15
    things that students like you have said
  • 01:01:18
    to me last year have hurt me and trust
  • 01:01:21
    me and trust me to all those students
  • 01:01:23
    who did that the loss is yours because
  • 01:01:25
    because the kind of notes and the kind
  • 01:01:27
    of content that I create and
  • 01:01:31
    give no teacher can match that because I
  • 01:01:33
    do it with a lot of honesty and lot of
  • 01:01:36
    sincerity the loss is yours because some
  • 01:01:39
    of you think and this includes some of
  • 01:01:41
    you who were part of my 11th class batch
  • 01:01:44
    also the last year's 12th class batch
  • 01:01:46
    the last year 11th class batch the last
  • 01:01:48
    year's 10th class batch I mean the batch
  • 01:01:50
    of
  • 01:01:51
    2024 very sadly was
  • 01:01:53
    disappointing and
  • 01:01:58
    anyway let's leave it I don't want to
  • 01:02:00
    get into any kind of negative I like to
  • 01:02:02
    keep myself positive so I all I say is
  • 01:02:04
    that the loss is yours because I do not
  • 01:02:07
    you know that whole thing I would have
  • 01:02:09
    done things very honestly but you
  • 01:02:11
    believe that you know let's get smart
  • 01:02:13
    with this guy too bad I don't I have too
  • 01:02:16
    much of self-respect and self-dignity to
  • 01:02:20
    subject myself to that kind of
  • 01:02:22
    absolutely
  • 01:02:24
    nonsensical gutter level garbage coming
  • 01:02:27
    from some of you you are all 16 17 18
  • 01:02:30
    year olds it does not behave you and as
  • 01:02:32
    I said if someone like if someone said
  • 01:02:35
    the same thing to your father how would
  • 01:02:36
    you feel think about it for a moment as
  • 01:02:39
    I said I would have given all this on a
  • 01:02:42
    platter but I now I'm going to do it
  • 01:02:44
    only on YouTube there' be no doubt
  • 01:02:46
    solving nothing because I I really
  • 01:02:49
    think you know you you killed the batch
  • 01:02:54
    of 2024 I hate to say this the batch of
  • 01:02:57
    2024 killed an extremely generous killed
  • 01:03:02
    an extremely giving killed an extremely
  • 01:03:08
    charitable mentor and educator you
  • 01:03:11
    killed that person because I was you
  • 01:03:14
    know so full of energy and I I mean I
  • 01:03:16
    would like anytime any doubt 4:00 a
  • 01:03:19
    doubt is as four or five I would reply
  • 01:03:21
    to that doubt and I realized this is
  • 01:03:24
    such a thank kind of a job you made
  • 01:03:27
    someone like me feel so small with that
  • 01:03:30
    kind of thing and to all those students
  • 01:03:32
    and the the fun part is that those
  • 01:03:34
    students don't even realize that thing
  • 01:03:36
    if you are listening to this you will
  • 01:03:37
    realize it because it was to you I did
  • 01:03:40
    not dignify your third rate gutter
  • 01:03:43
    language with a response I will never do
  • 01:03:45
    that I would never ever do that because
  • 01:03:48
    I will not stoop down to that level but
  • 01:03:51
    please remember Karma comes back and I
  • 01:03:54
    would be sad if it comes comes back to
  • 01:03:56
    you but unfortunately Karma always comes
  • 01:03:59
    back so as I
  • 01:04:02
    said the loss is not mine I am able to
  • 01:04:05
    now do things lot many more things um
  • 01:04:09
    I'm having peace of mind that I don't
  • 01:04:10
    have to reply to doubts I'm much more at
  • 01:04:13
    peace because I am never in The
  • 01:04:17
    RK I have lots of things to do and in
  • 01:04:21
    fact I'm now learning new new things
  • 01:04:22
    pretty much like tarap to come back to
  • 01:04:24
    the story I behave I believe at my age
  • 01:04:27
    to be like a sponge so I am now learning
  • 01:04:30
    new skill set so I am like a student all
  • 01:04:32
    over again and I'm enjoying it thanks to
  • 01:04:35
    the fact that I don't have to spend time
  • 01:04:37
    doing a lot many things which I was
  • 01:04:39
    doing as part of the courses till last
  • 01:04:41
    year great let's get started let's go
  • 01:04:45
    back how to ask for forgiveness was
  • 01:04:48
    something she had never learned in life
  • 01:04:51
    please learn to say sorry like I just
  • 01:04:53
    now told you one word
  • 01:04:56
    I was not sure about my pronunciation I
  • 01:04:58
    was sorry about that because I had not
  • 01:05:00
    checked with the exact pronunciation and
  • 01:05:01
    I did not want to say a wrong word right
  • 01:05:05
    it's important to learn in life to be
  • 01:05:08
    sorry about something learn to be uh
  • 01:05:13
    modest learn to be humble humility is
  • 01:05:16
    one of the biggest virtues you can have
  • 01:05:18
    in life humility is such a great virtue
  • 01:05:22
    always be grounded
  • 01:05:25
    always be grounded in life these are
  • 01:05:28
    things which will really help you to
  • 01:05:31
    mock somebody to put down somebody is
  • 01:05:34
    are things which absolutely Third Rate
  • 01:05:36
    people do never put down anyone always
  • 01:05:39
    be humble always be giving about a lot
  • 01:05:42
    of things these are things which are
  • 01:05:44
    very important be a sponge absorb
  • 01:05:47
    everything that you can learn from
  • 01:05:48
    anyone and
  • 01:05:52
    around finally seeing no other way she
  • 01:05:55
    took a piece of the TA exercise book sat
  • 01:05:57
    down next to tarap and wrote in large
  • 01:05:59
    round exercise letters I will never pour
  • 01:06:02
    ink on your exercise book again so that
  • 01:06:04
    was her way of saying sorry what a sweet
  • 01:06:06
    gesture she then made elaborate so she's
  • 01:06:08
    also changing you see without showing
  • 01:06:11
    anger he realized that showing anger was
  • 01:06:13
    not working so this time he decided not
  • 01:06:15
    to say anything and that had that
  • 01:06:18
    nonviolent way of
  • 01:06:21
    U punishing someone had a greater impact
  • 01:06:25
    at tarap could not contain himself
  • 01:06:27
    anymore and he burst out laughing the
  • 01:06:29
    girl dashed from the room overcome with
  • 01:06:32
    shame and anger now she felt angry and
  • 01:06:34
    shameful embarrassed that he was
  • 01:06:37
    laughing at her only if she had been
  • 01:06:39
    able to exp punch from all time the
  • 01:06:42
    paper on which she had humbled herself
  • 01:06:44
    would her Fury have been eased that she
  • 01:06:46
    thought that line of forgiveness seeking
  • 01:06:49
    that she had return that she wanted to
  • 01:06:51
    be erased so you realize that she had
  • 01:06:54
    basically a big ego that's what she was
  • 01:06:59
    fighting her ego was the one which was
  • 01:07:01
    getting behind her her feeling of
  • 01:07:03
    jealousy and ego that was what was
  • 01:07:05
    creating this entire conflict VAV T
  • 01:07:08
    during this period Sonam had once or
  • 01:07:10
    twice with her heart in her mouth lured
  • 01:07:12
    outside the lesson room she would listen
  • 01:07:14
    outside when the teaching would go on
  • 01:07:17
    she was close to her friend chush Shashi
  • 01:07:19
    in most matters but with regard to
  • 01:07:20
    tarapada she feared and distrusted her
  • 01:07:23
    she thought that you know she did not
  • 01:07:25
    like her being friends with tarap at
  • 01:07:28
    moments when charu was in the women's
  • 01:07:29
    quarters she would stand timidly you
  • 01:07:32
    know in a very shy Meek manner outside
  • 01:07:34
    Tara's door he would look up from his
  • 01:07:36
    book and say tenderly what is it Sona
  • 01:07:38
    what's up how is masi Sonam would say
  • 01:07:41
    you haven't been to see us for a long
  • 01:07:43
    time mother wishes you would sometime
  • 01:07:45
    she has back a so she can't come to meet
  • 01:07:47
    you charu would now perhaps appear
  • 01:07:50
    sonani was flustered flustered means you
  • 01:07:55
    know feeling very agitated or very
  • 01:07:58
    confused so charu essentially felt very
  • 01:08:00
    possessive about tarapara that's
  • 01:08:02
    something which you need to this thing
  • 01:08:04
    and that translated into Envy viav
  • 01:08:08
    Sonam she felt like a thief that you
  • 01:08:11
    know she has come when she's in the
  • 01:08:12
    women's quarter so she felt you know
  • 01:08:15
    embarrassed about it Chu would scowl
  • 01:08:17
    because she would get angry and shriek
  • 01:08:19
    at her well Sona coming to disturb our
  • 01:08:21
    studies I will tell my father as if she
  • 01:08:24
    herself was tarap
  • 01:08:26
    Guardian whose sole object was to watch
  • 01:08:28
    him day and night in case his studies
  • 01:08:30
    were Disturbed but God was not unaware
  • 01:08:32
    of what her actual motive wasn't coming
  • 01:08:34
    to Tara's room at this odd time and
  • 01:08:37
    tarapara knew it well poor
  • 01:08:40
    sonani fumbled for false explanation but
  • 01:08:43
    Chu venomously called her a liar she
  • 01:08:45
    withdrew sick at heart defeated so you
  • 01:08:47
    realize Chu is a very Vicious Kind of a
  • 01:08:49
    person she kind of you know came after
  • 01:08:52
    her in a very strong kind of manner
  • 01:08:58
    the kindly tarapada would call her and
  • 01:09:00
    say Sona I will come to your house this
  • 01:09:02
    evening Chu his back like a snake how
  • 01:09:04
    can you go what about your lessons I
  • 01:09:06
    will tell mokar mokar as in supervisor
  • 01:09:09
    undaunted by charu's thread tarap spent
  • 01:09:12
    a couple of evenings at bamun tun's
  • 01:09:14
    house that is the Mai's house on the
  • 01:09:17
    third day Chu without further warning
  • 01:09:18
    quickly bolted his door and fetching the
  • 01:09:20
    padlock that is the lock from her
  • 01:09:22
    mother's Spice Box logged him in she
  • 01:09:24
    kept him prisoner for the whole evening
  • 01:09:25
    only opening the door when it was time
  • 01:09:27
    to eat so that he does not go to sona's
  • 01:09:29
    house tarapada was angrily silent and
  • 01:09:32
    was about to go out without eating then
  • 01:09:34
    the passionate overr girl clasp her
  • 01:09:37
    hands and cried out repeatedly I promise
  • 01:09:40
    you cross my heart that I won't do it
  • 01:09:42
    again please I beg you eat before you go
  • 01:09:46
    when even this had no effect she began
  • 01:09:48
    to wail that is to cry and he was forced
  • 01:09:50
    to turn back and eat so that's how he
  • 01:09:54
    kind of decided to deal uh with u
  • 01:10:00
    Chu so he realized that you know if he
  • 01:10:03
    shouted at her it was not having the
  • 01:10:04
    effect but if he go went into a silent
  • 01:10:07
    mode angry but silent and decided not to
  • 01:10:11
    eat that kind of uh had an effect on
  • 01:10:14
    Charo so that that's something which you
  • 01:10:16
    need to know as to what was how did the
  • 01:10:18
    relationship evolve and how did he
  • 01:10:20
    manage to control her rather passionate
  • 01:10:22
    way of dealing with him charu many times
  • 01:10:24
    promised herself that she would behave
  • 01:10:26
    properly during tarapada and she would
  • 01:10:28
    not annoy him again but when sonani and
  • 01:10:30
    others turned up it put her into such a
  • 01:10:33
    Race So she felt very envious and
  • 01:10:35
    jealous and she could not control her
  • 01:10:37
    anger she could not control herself if
  • 01:10:40
    he she was good for a few days tarapada
  • 01:10:42
    will steal himself for another Tempest
  • 01:10:44
    Tempest means
  • 01:10:48
    storm no one could say how the attack
  • 01:10:51
    would come on on what grounds for what
  • 01:10:52
    reason there might be a mighty storm and
  • 01:10:54
    floods of years to follow and after that
  • 01:10:56
    peace and affection again so this was a
  • 01:10:59
    very common and usual occurrence that
  • 01:11:02
    was happening all the
  • 01:11:07
    time the last section almost two years
  • 01:11:10
    passed like this tarapara had never
  • 01:11:11
    mooded himself to anyone for so long
  • 01:11:13
    this mood seems to be a favorite word
  • 01:11:15
    third time it's coming in the story that
  • 01:11:17
    is he would not anchor to anyone for so
  • 01:11:19
    long you know it's very strange maybe
  • 01:11:22
    his studies had a hold on him on maybe
  • 01:11:24
    he was changing as he grew up because
  • 01:11:26
    obviously it's two years since then she
  • 01:11:28
    has become 11 and he would have become
  • 01:11:30
    an adult maybe the beauty of his and the
  • 01:11:33
    stable existence in a comfortable house
  • 01:11:35
    had more appealed than before maybe he
  • 01:11:36
    was changing maybe the beauty of his
  • 01:11:38
    study companion even if she had been
  • 01:11:40
    constantly bad tempered was exert
  • 01:11:43
    unconscious influence so this is the
  • 01:11:44
    first hint of some kind of love and
  • 01:11:47
    affection between them that he was taken
  • 01:11:49
    in but it was exerting unconscious
  • 01:11:52
    influence maybe he was not aware of it
  • 01:11:55
    meanwhile Chu had reached the age of 11
  • 01:11:57
    moal Babu had sought out two or three
  • 01:12:00
    good marriage offers so you realize
  • 01:12:02
    child marriage now that she had reached
  • 01:12:04
    marriageable age he placed a ban on
  • 01:12:06
    English books because they thought
  • 01:12:07
    English books were bad
  • 01:12:10
    influence an outside visit she kicked up
  • 01:12:13
    a terrible fuss at this new restrictions
  • 01:12:15
    then one day Anapa called MOA and said
  • 01:12:17
    why search outside for a Grom tarap
  • 01:12:19
    would make a fine husband and your
  • 01:12:21
    daughter likes him so she has observed
  • 01:12:25
    moal Babu was astonished at this
  • 01:12:26
    suggestion that's impossible we don't
  • 01:12:28
    know anything about his family she's my
  • 01:12:30
    only daughter in two years also they
  • 01:12:32
    have not been able to find out anything
  • 01:12:34
    about his background she's my only
  • 01:12:36
    daughter I want to marry her well so she
  • 01:12:38
    thinks that he's not good enough because
  • 01:12:41
    we don't know anything about this family
  • 01:12:43
    reasoning question some people came from
  • 01:12:46
    the zamindar's house at R Danga to look
  • 01:12:48
    at the girl the girl you know when you
  • 01:12:50
    go to see a girl in an arranged marriage
  • 01:12:53
    situation and were made to dress Chu up
  • 01:12:56
    but she did not want to she shut herself
  • 01:12:58
    in the room and refused to come out
  • 01:12:59
    motilal Babu begged and rebuked rebuke
  • 01:13:02
    means
  • 01:13:06
    to scold
  • 01:13:16
    her his daughter had suddenly finally he
  • 01:13:19
    had to lie to the delegation from ranga
  • 01:13:21
    his daughter had suddenly Fallen ill and
  • 01:13:23
    could not be seen today they assumed
  • 01:13:25
    that from this lame excuse that the girl
  • 01:13:27
    had some kind of defect so they thought
  • 01:13:30
    that you know if some this kind of an
  • 01:13:32
    excuse has been made it must be because
  • 01:13:35
    the girl had some kind of defect one
  • 01:13:37
    second I'm putting it on
  • 01:13:48
    charge so that's how that particular
  • 01:13:50
    arranged match was put off moal Babu
  • 01:13:53
    started to reflect that tarapada was in
  • 01:13:55
    good to look at good in every outward
  • 01:13:57
    respect aspect he could keep him at home
  • 01:14:00
    like GJ know someone son-in-law who
  • 01:14:02
    stays at home so his only daughter would
  • 01:14:04
    not have to go to someone else's house
  • 01:14:06
    so he's a very indulgent kind of a
  • 01:14:08
    father doting father he realize that is
  • 01:14:12
    trusant uh means aggressively defined
  • 01:14:15
    someone who is very aggressive and very
  • 01:14:16
    defined uh foibles fbls means
  • 01:14:20
    eccentricities
  • 01:14:21
    okay eccentric behavior and aggressively
  • 01:14:24
    defined
  • 01:14:25
    uh which he and his wife could smile at
  • 01:14:27
    could not be so he said that while they
  • 01:14:29
    tolerated charu's foibles that is her
  • 01:14:32
    excentricities the in-laws may not be so
  • 01:14:35
    tolerant of them after lengthy
  • 01:14:37
    discussion motilal and Anapa sent a man
  • 01:14:40
    to tarapada Village to find out about
  • 01:14:41
    his family the information came that it
  • 01:14:43
    was poor but High cast brahans moal Babu
  • 01:14:47
    then sent a marriage proposal to the
  • 01:14:49
    boys's mother and brothers they were
  • 01:14:50
    well pleased and agreed to it at once
  • 01:14:53
    back at Catalia
  • 01:14:56
    uh M moal and Anapa discussed the day
  • 01:14:58
    and hour of the wedding but the
  • 01:14:59
    naturally cautious motilal kept the
  • 01:15:01
    whole matter secret that means he did
  • 01:15:03
    not tell it either to uh tarapada or to
  • 01:15:06
    chu chu though could not be restricted
  • 01:15:08
    she sometimes burst into Tara's room
  • 01:15:10
    like a cavalry charge means almost like
  • 01:15:12
    a army you know aggressive aggressively
  • 01:15:15
    disturbing his studies with crossness
  • 01:15:17
    eagerness or sconn sometimes detached
  • 01:15:20
    and independent though he was he felt a
  • 01:15:21
    stage stirring in his heart at this
  • 01:15:23
    again another indication of Love okay a
  • 01:15:28
    sort of electrical impulse till now he
  • 01:15:30
    had floated lightly and serenely without
  • 01:15:32
    impediment on time stream that is as
  • 01:15:34
    time passed by nothing seemed to affect
  • 01:15:36
    him sometimes now he was sned by strange
  • 01:15:39
    distracting Daydreams like he was kind
  • 01:15:42
    of you know as he was growing he was
  • 01:15:44
    kind of feeling a little bit of
  • 01:15:46
    Attraction towards Shu he would leave
  • 01:15:48
    his studies and go into moila babu's
  • 01:15:50
    library and flick through the pages of
  • 01:15:52
    The Illustrated books the imaginary
  • 01:15:53
    world which he mixed with these pictures
  • 01:15:55
    was much changed much more highly
  • 01:15:57
    colored than before so he was getting
  • 01:15:58
    exposure to different world because now
  • 01:16:01
    he could understand English so he would
  • 01:16:02
    see the books and he was much more
  • 01:16:04
    enlightened about the world Beyond where
  • 01:16:07
    he stayed there in
  • 01:16:09
    Catalia or whatever he had been exposed
  • 01:16:11
    to before he could not laugh at charu's
  • 01:16:14
    strange Behavior quiet as he had done in
  • 01:16:16
    the past when he was bad when she was
  • 01:16:18
    bad he never thought of beating her now
  • 01:16:20
    this deep change this powerful feeling
  • 01:16:22
    of attraction was like a new dream so
  • 01:16:24
    this is this is again an important line
  • 01:16:27
    motilal Babu fixed the wedding for the
  • 01:16:29
    month of Shaban and sent word to Tara's
  • 01:16:32
    mother and brothers but he did not
  • 01:16:33
    inform tarapada himself so the groom was
  • 01:16:36
    unaware that his marriage was being
  • 01:16:38
    fixed he told his uh mokar that is a
  • 01:16:42
    supervisor in Kolkata to hire a trumpet
  • 01:16:45
    and drum band and he ordered everything
  • 01:16:46
    else that would be needed for the
  • 01:16:48
    wedding early Monsoon clouds formed in
  • 01:16:51
    the sky The Village River had been dried
  • 01:16:53
    up for weeks and there was water only in
  • 01:16:55
    holes here and there so now he's again
  • 01:16:57
    giving a description of the scenery
  • 01:16:59
    small boats lay stuck in these pools of
  • 01:17:01
    Muddy Water and the dry River butd was
  • 01:17:03
    rotted with bulock C tracks the tracks
  • 01:17:06
    had left those kind of
  • 01:17:09
    marks but now like Parvati returning to
  • 01:17:11
    her parents' home gurgling Waters
  • 01:17:13
    Parvati mythological reference uh
  • 01:17:16
    gurgling Lord shiva's wife gurgling
  • 01:17:18
    Waters returned to the empty Arms Of The
  • 01:17:21
    Village you know so because the the
  • 01:17:24
    monsoon clouds were forming naked
  • 01:17:26
    children danced and shouted on the River
  • 01:17:28
    Bank jumped into the water with
  • 01:17:30
    voracious Joy with you know very loud
  • 01:17:32
    kind of joy as if trying to embrace the
  • 01:17:36
    river you know when they jumped into the
  • 01:17:37
    river the GED um the villagers gazed at
  • 01:17:42
    the river like a dear friend a huge wave
  • 01:17:43
    of life and Delight rolled through the
  • 01:17:45
    parched Village because the summer was
  • 01:17:47
    coming to an end and the monsoon was
  • 01:17:49
    about to take over so the seasons are
  • 01:17:52
    changing this is again important the
  • 01:17:54
    season when he had come it was a swollen
  • 01:17:57
    river which means he had come during the
  • 01:17:58
    monsoon time and now after two years
  • 01:18:01
    again the monsoon has come after two
  • 01:18:03
    years and now he wants to probably move
  • 01:18:07
    out again so these are all hints that
  • 01:18:10
    tagor is dropping there were boats big
  • 01:18:12
    and small with cargos from far and wide
  • 01:18:14
    in the evenings the G resounded with the
  • 01:18:16
    songs of foreign boatmen people from
  • 01:18:19
    other places The Villages along the
  • 01:18:21
    river had spent the whole year confined
  • 01:18:23
    to their own small world now now with
  • 01:18:25
    the rains the vast outside world had
  • 01:18:27
    come in its Earth colored watery Chariot
  • 01:18:30
    carrying wondrous gifts to The Villages
  • 01:18:32
    as if on a daughter visit to its
  • 01:18:34
    daughters like when you come to visit
  • 01:18:35
    your daughter's home you kind of carry
  • 01:18:37
    gifts so the outside world has had come
  • 01:18:40
    with the waters and the boards and
  • 01:18:42
    everything the color of the waters
  • 01:18:44
    everything had changed as if they were
  • 01:18:46
    bringing gifts rustic smallness was
  • 01:18:48
    temporarly
  • 01:18:50
    subsumed by pride of contact with the
  • 01:18:53
    world like you know
  • 01:18:55
    rustic is a reference to the rural
  • 01:18:57
    Village and it is very small but it is
  • 01:19:00
    kind of getting enveloped by the contact
  • 01:19:02
    with the outside world which is in the
  • 01:19:04
    form of the monsoon and the largess of
  • 01:19:07
    the river the waters in the river which
  • 01:19:09
    will again get swollen everything became
  • 01:19:11
    more active because in a dry River you
  • 01:19:13
    wouldn't find any activity but when the
  • 01:19:15
    water is full there would be boats and
  • 01:19:18
    activity on the river the bustle of
  • 01:19:20
    distance cities came to this sleepy
  • 01:19:22
    region and the whole Sky rank because
  • 01:19:24
    outside people can also come when there
  • 01:19:26
    is water in the river meanwhile at kurul
  • 01:19:29
    Kata on the nag Family Estate a famous
  • 01:19:31
    Chariot Festival was to be held one
  • 01:19:34
    moonlit evening tarapara went to the G
  • 01:19:35
    and saw on the Swift flood tide boats
  • 01:19:38
    with mer go rounds mer go rounds isaka
  • 01:19:41
    and jatra troops and cargo boats raply
  • 01:19:43
    making to the fair so he's now seeing
  • 01:19:45
    something which he has not seen before
  • 01:19:47
    or something new once again an orchestra
  • 01:19:49
    from Kolkata was practicing loudly as it
  • 01:19:52
    passed the jatra troop was singing to
  • 01:19:53
    Violent accompany
  • 01:19:55
    shouting out the Beats Boatman from
  • 01:19:57
    lands to the West split the sky with
  • 01:19:59
    symbols which is a musical instrument
  • 01:20:01
    and cing drums such excitement so visual
  • 01:20:04
    and sound imagery mixed up by gurudev
  • 01:20:08
    tagor then clouds from the East covered
  • 01:20:10
    the moon with their huge Black Sails and
  • 01:20:13
    an East wind blew sharply Cloud after
  • 01:20:15
    Cloud rolled by the river gushed and
  • 01:20:17
    swelled and darkness thickened in the
  • 01:20:20
    swaying Riverside trees fro frogs Cog
  • 01:20:23
    crickets rasp like wood sauce to
  • 01:20:25
    tarapara the whole world seemed like a
  • 01:20:27
    chariot Festival so he was very taken in
  • 01:20:30
    by this entire scenery the visual and
  • 01:20:32
    the sound imagery uh there were rumbles
  • 01:20:35
    of thunder and slashes of lightning in
  • 01:20:37
    the sky the smell of torrential rain
  • 01:20:40
    approached from the dark distance but
  • 01:20:41
    katalia Village next to the river
  • 01:20:43
    ignored all this she shut her doors
  • 01:20:45
    turned out her lamps and went to sleep
  • 01:20:47
    so katalia did not want to be disturbed
  • 01:20:50
    by all this that was happening around it
  • 01:20:54
    the following morning Tara's mother and
  • 01:20:56
    brothers arrived at katalia and the same
  • 01:20:59
    morning three large boats from Kolkata
  • 01:21:00
    laid in with things for the wedding
  • 01:21:01
    which M Babu had arranged moved at
  • 01:21:04
    zamindar's G and very early that same
  • 01:21:06
    morning Sonam brought some mango juice
  • 01:21:09
    preserve that is you know uh the the
  • 01:21:12
    juice of the thing uh in paper and some
  • 01:21:15
    pickle wrapped in a leaf and timidly
  • 01:21:17
    stood outside Tara's room but tarapada
  • 01:21:20
    was not to be seen he had escaped in a
  • 01:21:24
    cloudy Monsoon night before love and
  • 01:21:26
    emotional ties could encircle him
  • 01:21:28
    completely so maybe he came to know or
  • 01:21:30
    maybe he was just attracted by what he
  • 01:21:32
    saw during the change of season this
  • 01:21:34
    Brahman boy thief of all heart this is a
  • 01:21:37
    fantastic key phrase which you should
  • 01:21:39
    use had returned to the unconstraining
  • 01:21:41
    unemotional arms of his mother earth so
  • 01:21:44
    he had once again escaped into another
  • 01:21:46
    part of the unknown world because this
  • 01:21:49
    place had become too familiar to him and
  • 01:21:51
    he desired to explore the outside world
  • 01:21:54
    World once again so with that we come to
  • 01:21:57
    the end
  • 01:21:59

  • 01:22:03

    character the change in the relationship
  • 01:22:14
    between tarap and Chu how does that
  • 01:22:16
    happen the equation between Anapa and
  • 01:22:19
    tarapara extremely significant to a
  • 01:22:21
    lesser extent the equation between
  • 01:22:23
    motilal Babu and T
  • 01:22:25
    the equation between tarapada and mother
  • 01:22:28
    nature itself the role of the elements
  • 01:22:30
