It's only four years after the end of WW2, when there were no great
cricket matches. But now things are getting back to normal: the
Australians have thrashed the Poms in England, India has played its
first Test series in Australia, and 'the Don' has retired. In a
small Bangalore village young Ranganathan Rao is musing about life
in general and cricket in particular. The weather's been hot and
dry for ever - everyone's eyes are skywards, looking for the
monsoon. Except for Ranga's, whose spinning fingers begin to itch.
Kumar, Ranga's English/Geography/History teacher, as part of a
discourse on the strangeness of the English language, introduces
his pupils to an especially strange word - that he heard an
Australian say during the war - and invites them to try to
pronounce it and identify its meaning. After many unsuccessful
attempts Kumar reveals both the word's pronunciation and meaning,
and suggests that everyone might remember this, as one day they
might go to Australia. This starts Ranga thinking.
