departure for Bangalore I had built a room sufficient to do some
cooking and retained another room for serving as a bedroom.Some
how when he finally vacated the portion he took the key to the main
portion whereby I was prevented from operating the motor to pump
up water from the borewell.As the tenant would be visiting my house
off and on I had to get the services of electrician to shift the control
from inside the room to the switch board outside.This had to be done
before the tenant would make his apperance suddenly without prior
notice.It was strange but true that I had to carry out reairs by stealth

in my own house !After the tenant finally returned the key I entered
my house formally.

Bhagawan in my wife’s dreams :

Retirement life was not all that boring.As my wife is a committed
devoteeof Puttaparthi Satya Sai baba we used to attendSai
Bhajanevery Thursday and Sunday held at Sai mandir near Boat
club.Our visit to Sai Bhajans was a great spiritual journey.The
darshans of Swami which used to occur in my wife’s dreams
continued to occur assuring her « why fear when I am here »

As if our daily routine was too prosaic to continue without
excitement both my wife I got involved in an incident not of our
making !My wife‘s cousin nd her husband were living not far from
our place in Chennai.Sometime in the year 2002 I received a call
from the husband of my wife’s cousin which changed dramatically
from a routine call to an emergency call when he asked me if I could
make an immediate visit to his flat for discussing some important
domestic issue.I out of abundant caution asked my wife also to join
me and we proceeded to her cousin’s house blissfully unaware of our
entangling into some connubial disharmony concerning their son and
daughter in law.Our relative confided in us since the previous
evening their son had no clue as to where his wife might have left
their place and till that morning he was in the dark about his wife’s
whereabouts.They were barely married for 10 months or
so.Therefore my wife’s relative requested us to visit the in-laws of
their son immediately and find where their daughter might have gone

as ithout their knowledge she may not have left her husband’s house.
