One morning I sought to speak to Ramu, but he sat for patient hours fanning the guru with a hand-made palm-leaf PUNKHA. When the devotee finally left the room, I followed him. "'Ramu, how long have you been blind? "'From my birth, sir! Never have my eyes been blessed with a glimpse of the sun. "'Our omnipotent guru can help you. Please make a supplication.
The weather appears quite as hot as when we started, and the wind comes in, hot and dry, and makes one feel like a herring of the reddest; while an infernal punkha is creaking its monotonous tune, as it flaps to and fro in the next room, making one again realize to the full, "the pleasures of the plains."
You seemed so horribly unreal everything seemed unreal in that ghastly city you, I, our marriage of crazy impulse the people, the sunlight, the deathly odours, the torturing, endless creak of the punkha. . . . It was not a question of of love, of anger, of hate.
I had been premeditating this moment. Selecting the appropriate spot on Jitendra's anatomy, I administered a pinch as resounding as the one he had given me on the train. "Doubting Thomas, the Lord works-in a hurry, too!" The hostess reentered with a PUNKHA. She steadily fanned us in the Oriental fashion as we squatted on ornate blanket-seats.
