S3 Shaikhs came in, HH stayed until after 1.30. Had a very tiresome morning, Zubara as usual for a long time

and then a trying time about his own money affairs, he has begun to complain that he must have more money
from the State because the revenue is higher than it used to be, we had to lend him 2 lakhs at the end of the
year & he declines to pay this amount.
