No wonder in Hindi, translation work is often done by talents who are biding their time for better employment. They give up translating as soon as they find a regular job.

When all stratagems to persuade her failed he tried to get it by foul means. By bribing the corrupt lawyers he succeeded in getting the legal possession of the hut. Already lonely and destitute she took shelter elsewhere. One day when the landlord was wandering near the hut, surveying the work being done there by his men, the old widow came there with a basket in her hand. Greatly displeased with her arrival, he ordered his men to drive her away. Tearfully she entreated him January-March 2012 :: 7
