I always help the needy

On a holiday in mid 1980s,i was sitting in my residential office and dictating judgments, when a peon on flood duty at the office came to me and said, ''A message has come from Ghatana sahib (fictitious name) from Sangrur that he would come in the evening and stay for the night.He wanted to talk to you , sir. ''I told my steno to connect me to him. During those days except for the deputy commissioner all subordinate officers in the sub-divisions used to have only extensions at the residences. These extensions worked like tractors with a inbuilt handle and most of the times the extensions did not work. So i had no other mean to speak to him.I started making arrangements for his comfortable stay by telling my wife. Since he was a vegetarian and a teetotaler ,i did not have to do much.

I waited till 9 PM, but thereafter i became a little restless as to why he had not arrived till then. There was no way to contact him. My wife had also become a little slow and sleepy. Then suddenly a hooter started blowing and i saw a white ambassador car with red beacon at the door. I greeted my friend with great warmth and affection. He told me that he had got busy in traffic checking and then uploading of sheesham (tahli).At the mention of tahli, I looked askance at him. He started explaining,'' you know my brother-in law has decided to settle abroad .He had 3 kanals plot in his name and i have bought it from him. I will construct a house there. I have applied for loan and non-refundable advance from my GPF.''I was wondering at his wisdom. He was in service for 7 years and was in the process of constructing his own house in 3 kanals.
After taking bath ,he sat for his prayers with gutka in both the hands totally forgetting the world. I also saw a short kirpan hanging under his shirt. He told me that he had got himself baptized after operation bluestar and also helped many victims including taking all responsibility of a small girl in a orphanage till she grew up. He also told me to adopt some such orphans. While narrating more episodes, he repeated frequently, ''I always help the needy. ''We continued talking till 2 AM. He told me that he would get up at 5 and needed a cup of tea He prepared the tea himself, then after taking bath, he again recited Gurbani for an hour.We had got the training together. After that he always managed lucrative postings available at his seniority including DTO, Secretary RTA, and AETC. So I was wondering at his religiosity and his lust for the mundane at the same time. He was ready by 9.He asked me,'' Yaar ,i got short of 6000 rupees at sheesham shop, so you give me that'' .''Why not, why not, '' I said. I asked my wife. She used to keep ten thousand cash at the residence as a habit. I gave him the money. He did not say as to when would he return it. He said, ''One should always help the needy. i always do that'' He departed uttering prayers to the God.

He did not return the money for six months. Those were the days of letters and torturous trunk calls. So I wrote him along with other usual pleasantries, ''Dear Ghatana sahid, I am in need of rupees 6000, as I have to get my daughter admitted to a school,'' I did not get any reply in two months, so I wrote again very respectfully that i needed money and in grace i did not mention that I needed my own money back. I got reply from him,'' I am short of money, so kindly excuse me. ''This was very shocking for me. I immediately wrote back, ''You had taken 6000 rupees from me when you had come here. So I am not asking for loan from you. I want my own money back.'' After 10 days , I got the cheque of RS. 6000 from him.
