Skater Girl

Faster, didi .

It's so much fun.

Faster!

Woo-hoo!

Yay!

Faster, didi .

Faster!

Bye.

Please have a look. What can you offer for this?

Fifty rupees.

- That's too low. - This quality doesn't sell here.

- At least have a look at the goods. - I can’t offer you more. Please leave.

You're still missing school?

Uh...

Well, sir...

She was busy at home. I'll send her tomorrow.

- Sure? - Yes, sir.

Okay, see you tomorrow.

- Didi? - Hmm?

What are you doing?

I can go to school tomorrow,

but I've outgrown my uniform.

Didi , take this.

What's this?

I got you a uniform.

Where did you get this from? And it's white!

At least you have a uniform now.

Good morning, sir.

Good morning.

Sit down.

All right, kids,

today we’ll study chapter three

and learn about water resources.

I'll be talking about the key water problems.

Listen carefully.

- Where's your book? - First is the scarcity of water.

Exploitation of groundwater.

Inability to use surface water.

Overuse of agricultural land.

You there!

Stand up.

Where's your textbook?

I forgot.

You've finally come to school,

and you forgot your textbook?

And what's up with your uniform?

Go.

Clean the corridors.

Move!

Silence!

Sir, I need a token for the computer room.

Hmm. Go.

Thank you.

What did you do?

Hmm?

I forgot my textbook.

- -

Going to Khempur.

Come on, everyone. Khempur!

All aboard. Going to Khempur.

Khempur!

All aboard. Going to Khempur.

Going to Khempur!

KHEMPUR 6 KM

Time to get off.

- Huh? - Get down.

Here?

What? No...

I need to go here. To Vikram Ji ’s... It’s a hotel.

- Uh, Vikram? - Welcome, ma'am.

- Please come. - Thank you.

This is your room.

Ever since I've listed online, I’ve got an incredible response.

I get bookings from around the world. Just like you've come from London.

How many nights is your booking for?

I'm just here for two weeks.

Oh. No issues.

You will have no complaints. But give us a good review when you leave.

Ma’am, the view here is our specialty.

People come from all over just for this view.

It’s a beautiful sight.

Get some rest. Good night.

Thank you.

This month's repayments are due.

Okay. Give me lentils.

I was thinking... I mean...

Rupa was saying that

she's filled the local form to start stitching.

If you don't have any objection,

- I... - Do you think I'm incapable?

Working in the brick kiln isn't that bad.

You working in the fields is enough.

But it's not enough

to run the house.

We’ll be in further debt.

- Maybe I could help as well. - Oh, really?

So will you both run the house?

You can barely sell peanuts, and you want to help?

- And that's why I want to... - I, what?

Do you know what people will say if you work outside in a factory?

That I'm incapable to run my house, and I'm making my wife work.

No, but I mean,

times are changing.

What an expert!

More rice?

20 RUPEES

One bottled water, please.

- How much? - Twenty rupees.

Thank you.

Want the textbook too?

No, I'll buy it later.

Okay.

Hi.

Is there anything to see around?

Yes. The village.

- -

Ankush! What are you doing? Ankush, come here!

Ankush! Leave him, Ankush!

What are you doing, Ankush? Let him go!

No, Ankush!

What’s this nonsense, Ankush?

Are you out of your mind?

He started it by calling me a toilet cleaner.

That's true.

He got toilet-duty in school today, but he ran away.

You're no elite. You are a toilet cleaner too.

Everyone knows you failed twice in school.

- Should I tell her what you did? - Let’s go, didi .

- Should I tell her? - Didi , he's cooking up stories.

Toilet cleaner is running away. See that filthy rat run.

Look at that toilet cleaner.

Hit him!

- Run, Tipu! - Didi!

Ankush! Wait, Ankush!

- Didi! - Tipu, run.

Didi , sorry .

Sorry, didi .

Didi.

Didi , no.

This one isn't for us. Come with me.

That's for the upper caste. We can use this one.

Sorry, didi .

It's okay.

What's your name?

Uh, Jessica.

- And yours? - Prerna.

Where are you from?

Uh, London.

- London? - Yes.

But my dad was from India.

What are you doing here?

Are you married?

Nope.

How old are you?

Thirty four.

And you're still not married?

My friend has a one-year-old daughter already.

How old are you?

Okay, what grade are you in?

Tell me.

I don't go to school anymore.

Why not?

I don't have a school uniform.

That’s it?

Because of a school uniform?

So what do you do then?

Housework, work in the fields and in the market.

But it's important to go to school.

If you don't go to school, what will you do in the future?

- Sorry, auntie. - You little brat.

Look at my hair and my shirt.

- You can speak in Hindi? - Yes.

What's this?

His bearing car.

Come, take a look.

This is my bearing car.
