The young men of the house lead a merry life bossing around the tenants of their huge property, the women folk are busy in cooking an keeping their unruly children well fed and clean. The children are left free to romp around the dense wooded area in their backyard playing and pelting stones at the ever so delicious fruits of tropical trees without any fear of anybody. They enjoy the spectacular rainy season by jumping into every puddle they come across on their way to school and get punished by the disciplinarian teachers. As the children grow up in this glorious carefree world of their joyous childhood, the family falls into a financial crisis. The grandmother passes away. The property is shared among all relatives. The father of this little girl and her siblings loses all his wealth and becomes bankrupt. The rich family slips into utter poverty.
