[Narsimma proceeds ignoring them.]

Muthyal Rao: Lamdiki,have you turned deaf?

Narsimma: Dora, I’m Narsimma, not Narsiga. And, I’m a college student, not a pickpocket.

Papa Rao: Osos,if Inter-pass Narsigadu is Narsimma, then what would be Narsigadu the graduate?

Shaukar Suryam: Well, Narsimma Saab of Rampur, won’t he be?

Papa Rao: Dora, the way the sarkar is pampering these, one day we may have to call him Narsimma Sir.

Muthyal Rao: Bhosdike, if you’re Narsimma, what to say of Yelligadu thera baap?

Papa Rao: Dora, it has to be Yellaiah garu, no less.Why doubt that?

Narsimma: Papa Rao Patel, be it a patelfather or a dalitfather, father is a father.

Papa Rao: Naayaala,don’t forget your aukaat.If Yellaiahs and Pullaiahs are Yella Raos and Pulla Raos, what’s the use of being a dora,leave alone a patelor a patwari?

Narsimma: B.A. is bound to change my aukaat but many patelsmay remain anguthachaaps.

Papa Rao: Banchut,what audacity, mind you, you would pay for it.

Shaukar Suryam: Well, was it not Gandhi who brought things to this pass. How he turned these lowly against us saying they are harijan.It’s as if we are devil’s descendents.

Muthyal Rao: Why blame Gandhi who’s dead and gone. Isn’t it the sarkar that feeds their egos with free food and all, that too with the taxpayers’ money? And the irony is they prefer to be referred as dalits, whatever it might mean.

Papa Rao: Dora, how are the naxalsany better? Don’t they extort money from us to turn these against us?

Muthyal Rao: Well said Papa Rao Patel, this naxalextortion is a damn good business without investment. What about joining their gang?

Shaukar Suryam: Dora,if only we’re young enough to take a little beating in the woods, then maybe, it’s not a bad business line at all.

Papa Rao: Any way, Narsiga, better keep off from the naxal hawa or else you would come to grief in the end.

Muthyal Rao: Narsiga, fetch your baap here and now. I’ll find out why he failed to teach you how to respect your dora.

Papa Rao: Why doraforgets about poor patels.

Shaukar Suryam: Now why spoil our time with these men. Isn’t it time to spend time with their women? Why not summon him to the gadi tomorrow.

Muthyal Rao: Oh, how I’ve got carried away. OreyNarsiga, haven’t you heard what Shaukar Saab said? Tell your abbato be at the gadiat eleven in the morning. Sharp eleven. [Exit: Narsimma in all silence.]
