00:00How can you really enjoy if your sister is being denied the basic freedoms and such things?

00:05That's all.

00:06We all are greatly interlinked.

00:09It is not possible for one man to be joyful with others around him being in misery.

00:16Especially if the other you are talking of is your own sister.

00:19How will you go out for example and watch a cricket match in the stadium or have a night out

00:24when you know that your sister too is a cricket lover and is not being allowed to come?

00:28Won't every bit of joy pain you further?

00:34You know that you are having it and somebody is not having it.

00:37And the one who is not having it, you love her.
