The house in which Priya Nath and Shri Nathji had stayed for 22 years together at Delhi, ever since July 1970 had brought nothing but ill-luck. “Chhorro iss jagah ko!“Let us leave this place!”But its proximity to medical aid, and its quiet atmosphere, plus the large area of the house and its palace-like architecture,–albeit a house with only three rooms– had made it a desirable place for Priya Nath. He thought he could best preserve Shri Nathji’s health in the house. But he had been proved wrong.
