The government gives us a piece of land. We have to cut it. We have to import the rice. We have to take it from Bombay to Banani. We used to take the rice from Banani to Bardad. It was very cheap. We used to get it. We have made good progress in Jhansi. But the situation has changed. The situation has changed. The work for the arrangements has been cut. At the curants they make fournn. Now this silver work is starting. The remaining land, you can buy it. You can rent it. There is room for it. But some people won't eat it. We don't eat vegetables. We have to eat them again and again. In the fields, the vegetables are cooked in a pressure cooker. It takes time. We clean it with sand. Then we put it in the pressure cooker. This is an exercise. Don't you wash your feet? No, I don't. You have to dance a lot to wash your feet. You have to dance. If you are hungry, you have to dance. You have to dance. This is made of honey.
