Priya Nath shuddered to think how Shri Nathji would have fared if he were all alone and did not have Priya Nath with him. Who would lead him by the hand? Who would get his blood tests done? Who would measure his pulse rate and blood pressure several times a day? Who would stay awake watching over him in the nights? Who would keep a vigil on his weight and daily output? Who would call doctors for him, and who would be able to judge which doctor was right? Who would look after his food and compose his ghazals? Who would care to entertain Shri Nathji or to make him laugh?
