IN THE EVENING GURUU JI ORDERED FOR BEVERAGES AND I BROUGHT THEM.WE PRACTISED FOR 4 HOURS NON-STOP TILL 11 PM.THEN WE WERE TAKEN TO THE CONCERT VENUES.EVERYDAY SEVERAL CONCERTS TOOK PLACE IN THE CITY.
ONCE I LEFT THE CONCERT MID WAY BECAUSE MY LANDLORD CLOSED THE GATE AT SHARP 10 PM. JEALOUSLY .MAHAARAAJ JI SCOLDED ME THAT HE ARRANGED THE CONCERT FOR ME AND I MISSED THE IMPORTANT EVENT.
I REPLIED ABOUT MY CIRCUMSTANCES.HE TURNED ANGRY AND ORDERED ME TO IMMEDIATELY VACATE THE FLAT TO A NEW HOTEL OF HIS FRIEND.HE ALSO ASKED ME THAT WHETHER I CAME TO KAASHI FOR BECOMING A COWARD PERSON OR A BRAVE ONE?HE ASKED ME WHETHER TO PUNISH THE LANDLORD WHICH I DEFERRED.
