'The evolution of man towards civilisation'

'was an outcome of his inner desire to evolve.'

'He used the violent flames of fire to give him light.'

'However a burning desire is all it took to consume him.'

'Lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride and envy'

'consumed him like a raging fire.'

'Instead of emitting a bright, pleasant light'

'this resulted in a violent inferno.'

'This inferno does not mark the beginning of this story'

'rather it is the end. The reason for this end..'

"Desire is the root.."

"Desire is the root.."

"Desire.."

"Excess of desire.."

"Excess of desires leads to greed."

"Greed.."

"Yes.."

It is said that desire is the root of all suffering.

But a human life is filled with desires.

Upon childbirth, the desire for celebration.

If it's a baby girl, we desire a good groom for her in life.

If it's a baby boy, we desire a good bride for him in life.

After getting married, we desire to have children.

If it's a baby girl, we desire to have a boy.

Hey, pay attention.

Hence every person will always have a desire

blossoming in his heart.

So is it possible to lead a life without desires?

Tell me.

Right.. It's not possible.

It's impossible for any creature to not have desires.

That's because

the Almighty who created us has created these desires as well.

Hey!

He is speaking such wise words. Stop dozing off. Listen to him.

Oh.. He's been paid for it. That's why he's speaking.

If you don't give him the money

forget the discourse, he won't speak up at all.

Hey! Shut up! We haven't paid to listen to him.

He fools some people for money

but he fools us as we are already fools.

Isn't that done?

Darn your evil tongue.

Why do you say such things?

It comes naturally. I can't help it.

Shut up!

Lust is blind

similarly there is no end to desires.

We are born out of lust.

And desire is the root of lust as well.

Lust is innate and so is desire.

But, as humans, as citizens

our lust, our desires

should be anchored.

Otherwise

there won't be any difference between a human and a beast.

Look..

He says desire is innate and he also tells us to anchor it.

Tell him to look into my eyes for a moment.

Let me see if he gives in to lust or anchors his desires.

Darn your thoughts!

You'll bring disgrace to me. Let's go home.

Hey, we're leaving. Let's go.

Where did you get this? - I found it on the way

it was quite appealing. I plucked it.

Won't it be great if all fruits are available so easily?

You are impossible.

Your words and the discourse..

I don't get anything. - You were praising him back then.

He's an elder, a learned person. He must have said good things.

Even lies sound good. Right? - Shut up.

Mom, he spoke for hours at a stretch.

You didn't shut him up.

We still have a long way to go.

I am speaking to kill time and you want to shut me up.

Darn! Will you please shut up!

Your father must be waiting.

Your drunkard husband must be waiting for you, not me.

Had I found someone who would wait for me..

Had you got me married, even I'd have been a mother by now.

Just like my friends. They have borne so many children

as if there's no better work left for them now.

Darn!

Hey! Stop!

Hey, Malli!

Hey, Malli. - Yes.

Everything happens at a time.

At a destined time.

The house won't come to us, we need to go to it.

Similarly, we need to get to the suitable time in life

instead of rotting in one place.

Why are you staring at me? I know you didn't get it.

What kind of a mother are you? You have been through my age

but you can't understand my state of mind.

Hey..

Well.. - Stop it, Mom.

Come on.

Hey..

Oh..

Dad..

Dad.. - Coming..

Hey.. - Oh.. - What happened?

Are you experiencing pain? - Yes, Dad.

I'm scared, Dad. - Oh..

That's why I told you to be with her at night.

Kempa!

Kempa!

Some more time..

Hey.. Go call Ms. Gowramma.

Okay. - Hey! Stop.

It may get late. Let's take her there.

You think so?

Okay. Kempa, get the vehicle.

Okay, sir.

Sleep now.

Hey, Malli!

I heard a vehicle's noise.

There's no peace in our lives.

Oh.. - Careful, dear.. - Oh..

Careful.. - It's paining a lot. We have reached.. We have..

Dad.. - We have reached.

Mom. - The vehicle from the mansion.

Oh.. Sarso is expecting.

She must be in labour pain. I'll go boil some water

you get the knife to cut the umbilical cord.

Also get castor oil. Go fast!

Oh.. - Muthanna..

I can't bear this pain. - Hey.. Muthanna.

Make it fast.. - Wake up. Sir is here.

Call Gowramma.

Muthanna.. - Hey..

Get up..

Muthanna. - Oh.. I'll sit here.

Dad..

He won't wake up. Greetings, sir.

Come, dear..

Be careful.

Slowly..

Don't worry, dear..

Come on..

Oh..

It's done, dear..

Bear the pain.. - I can't.. - It'll be done.

Hold your breath.. Yes.. Like that..

Why are you shouting? I won't drink..

Mom!

It's paining.. - It's done.

Just a moment.. Push it..

It's done.

It's done, dear.

Dear, don't be scared. It's done.

Malli, hold her hand.

Mom.. Oh..

God, I'll die..

You may drink tomorrow instead of dying.

Just sleep for now. Sleep.. - Oh, God!

Malli, tell your father to shut up.

He won't oblige so easily. Just focus on your job.

Hey.. - Mom..

Mom.. I can't bear it.

You can..

Mom.. Oh.. I'll die.. - Bear it, dear.

Just once.. Just once, push hard. - I can't.

Yes..

Malli, get that..

Oh.. - It's done..

It's done, dear.. - Oh..

Darn you useless soul..

You cry like a baby, I swear..

From tomorrow, I won't drink..

You did a great favour.

Not at all. I have helped many women in childbirth.

Well..

God has sent me into this world to do this noble deed.

It's a noble act

to help bring a life into this world.

Oh.. The baby is so beautiful.

It has taken after you.

The mother is lucky if the baby boy resembles her.

"Sleep, my baby. Sleep, the apple of my eyes.."

"Sleep, my baby. Sleep, the apple of my eyes.."

"Your mother showers her affection on you.."

"She rocks you gently.."

"Her affection is boundless. She toils hard for you."

"She won't let you cry."

"Your chuckles are music to her ears."

"May you grow up to realise all her dreams."

"You are the world to her."

"You are her life."

"Your birth has filled her life with joy."

"Sleep, my baby. Sleep, the apple of my eyes.."

"You are her sunshine.."

"You are her darling.."

"She nurtures and raises you in the best of ways."

"She takes pains and troubles to nourish you."

"Don't you forget these favours one to you."

"To nurture you, she even ignored her hunger."

"She was worried for you and your well-being."

"And for ensuring the best for you, she strived hard."

"Sleep, my baby. Sleep, the apple of my eyes.."
