Ravi Goes To School

Ravi, the watchman’s son, is poor, illiterate and often playing in the dirt until a new mistress, Pooja, moves into the big house with her husband, Rohit. She puts Ravi in school and spends time with him when loneliness strikes. Her growing unhappiness with her absent husband who works all the time is alleviated by her taking the boy under her wing. But when she leaves, nothing has changed and Ravi goes back to playing in the dirt.
