Mehrunissa and Tarannum are two Muslim women in Lucknow, who teach child labourers in a local school. They talk about ideas of education and exposure among lower middle class Muslim societies, their own experiences, and prejudice faced by their friends and peers. They talk about their mothers and the remarkable perseverance they showed in educating their daughters. Through anecdotes, stories, hearsay, jokes and conversation we are able to get a glimpse into the world of these women and become aware of deep rooted prejudices that still exist about educating women.
