Scene Description Young Pikoo is enjoying a day off from school. He looks outside the balcony of their palatial house in suburban Calcutta and observes a train of passers: a rickshaw-puller, a dog-walker, a fancy car and a group of pallbearers. He silences a barking dog at the neighbour's with a loud "hush!", then proceeds to dally with his toys in the house. (3/17)
