Vinod cajoles Shankar to return to the ashram however is quickly bodily thrown out from there. After some reflection, Shankar returns to Bombay, and shortly the episode sketchily encapsulates what you will note within the collection.

The collection is mounted skillfully with ace manufacturing values. The period is brilliantly captured, with youngsters taking part in with marbles, the bioscopewalla (the travelling hand-cranked cinema) on the cycle, dated ads within the inside of the buses, costumes, interval telephones, typewriters, and locks.
