Me: Kya aap ko lagta hai aapki gali main jo gandagi hai us se beemariyan phelti hain?
(Do you think the garbage in your street causes diseases?)
The lady: Pata nahin, mere ghar main koi beemar nahin.
(I don't know. No one is sick at my home.)

Me: Kiran School ne jo gali main dustbins rakhwai the, us k bare main aap ka kya khayal hai?
(Kiran School kept dustbins in the street, what are your views on their this initiative?)
The Lady: Wo un k apne liye the, hum tou yahan se kachra phainkte hain (Pointing towards the window)
(Those were for Kiran school to use. We throw our trash out from here- pointing towards the window)

Me: Kya aap aaki gali main safai karwane main hamara sath denge?
(Will you support us in cleaning your street?)
The lady: Main apne miyan se puch k aapko bataungi.
(I'll ask my husband and tell you)

Me: Kya aap aaki gali main safai karwane main hamara sath denge?
(Will you support us in cleaning your street?)
The lady: Hamen ijazat nahin hai ghar se bahar nikalne ki.
(We are not allowed to leave our home)

Such are the effects of illiteracy and male domination prevailing in our society.
