The month of December 1987 turns out to be one of the most dreadful months for Priya Nath. The first day of the month began cheerfully. Shri Nathji was up at 6:30 am, and Priya Nath told him it was the first of December 1987.“May you live long! May you live long! May you have, health, wealth and honour and a long, long life!”Shri Nathji had been greeting Priya Nath with similar words all throughout the years every morning:“May you live long, happily, healthily wealthily, peacefully and prosperously! May all good things come to you and to your Bhayya! May you both live long!”Shri Nathji at first appears to be improving in health, and his appetite improves even as he asks for ‘choco-shake’ milk.
