The eldest of four daughters, Sarju looks out from her family's covered front porch. The porch, and the ground right in front of a house, is really like the living area. Tasks are done here; it's where you'd drink tea with a daytime visitor. As news comes mostly by bus and foot, doing things out front is a good way to keep up on current events.

Present day, Sarju is now a beloved primary-school teacher.
