00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:25.079 align:center
Since birth, I’ve carried the dream
of owning a piece of land.

I haven’t heard before.
00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:29.400 align:center
The land my father got
is in shambles.

I don’t have the strength
to farm it anymore.
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:35.240 align:center
Only when strong hands plough it
does the land earn respect.
00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:37.440 align:center
Farming must be done
for self‑respect,
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:40.400 align:center
if it’s done as charity,
it becomes just a job.
00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:41.960 align:center
Who said this is charity?

and go your way.

As I ruined Sheshamma’s life,
and freckled my daughter’s too.

will start wagging.

We cried for land
all these years,

even half an inch of land.
00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:15.319 align:center

even if we’re ready to pay,
who will sell land to people like us?

has not abandoned me.

00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:49.920 align:center

The cash will not
come into your hands.

We’ll put it in a post office
account in Putti’s name.

Done.

Why are you trembling?
00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:35.599 align:center
With a waist like that, you should
be shaking me, not shaking yourself.
00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:37.759 align:center
You shouldn’t.
00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:39.839 align:center
My life was filled with darkness—
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:42.880 align:center

for a hundred years.

one pillar to rest on.

need not be beautiful.

must not be a fool.
