The boys were delighted at Shri Ramesh Chander’s Desoto car, which was made in the same year as Shri Nathji’s Ford. At the insistence of Pran Nath and Priya Nath, Shri Nathji sent Sri Krishen, the son of Captain Niranjan Singh, to Mussoorie to bring down the Ford car, and, within a few days, the Ford was standing outside Shri Nathji’s chambers at the palace, looking like the Rolls Royce of a Maharaja. It was as if the palace and the car had been made for each other. With the coming of Shri Nathji, it appeared to all that truly a Maharaja had entered the palace.
Shri Nathji would take the boys to the University every morning in the Ford. It was a most unusual sight witnessed by the students and teachers of the University–a father coming to leave his sons at the University. Shri Nathji would also arrive punctually in the afternoon to take them home. Sometimes Mateshwari would also be with him.
As the schedule of the classes was different on different days and Shri Nathji did not keep a record of them, he often came early to take the boys home and then waited for long hours in the car outside for the classes to be over.
He would be seen fanning himself with the newspaper in the car in the hot weather. There would not be the slightest vexation in him for having waited so long, and he would greet the boys with the same love and embrace each time they got into the car.
