Once Baba wrote to Delia to arrange something very difficult. Delia sent this telegram: "I will try."
Baba cabled back immediately, "Leave it."
Delia then realized that Baba was dissatisfied and cabled: "I will do my best."
Baba was pleased and answered, "Go ahead. I will help you."
Though very few words were exchanged in these telegrams, Delia found them to contain a valuable lesson, and remembered it for the rest of her life.
Baba wished to leave the heat of Meherabad and go into seclusion on Nandi Hill near Bangalore. But before going there, Baba was driven to Nasik on Saturday, 14 April 1934 by Adi Sr. in the Pontiac, accompanied by Adi Jr., Sailor and Gustadji. There, he met with Freiny, Rustom and Naval Talati in regard to their individual family matters.
Baba and the mandali left for Bombay the next day. Baba stayed with Kaka's sister and her husband, Banubai and Manek Confectioner, while the mandali stayed with Nilu at his apartment in Byculla, across from J. J. Hospital. Chanji saw Baba at 2:00 P.M.
S. Tyebji, a former executive engineer at Nasik, now worked as the Nizam of Hyderabad's agent in Bombay. His wife was Lady Hyderi's niece. Tyebji had recently met Baba at Meherabad and brought his wife to meet Baba at 3:30 P.M. Tyebji's son was living abroad and the couple voiced their concern about his welfare, wondering if they should make a trip to see him.
"He is all right," Baba assured them. "It is not necessary that you go. I am here, and I see everything from here and know everything. However, if you want to go, go soon and return immediately. Don't stay there too long."
Tyebji's wife was suffering from depression, and Baba told Tyebji privately that she would be better after a year.
That night, Baba went to a movie ( Eskimo ) with Adi Sr. at the Capitol Theater. They saw another film ( Tiger Bay ) at the Roxy the following night. (The manager of the Roxy sent Baba and his group ice cream, and after the film saw him off as he was leaving.)
Having returned from London, Akbar Hyderi and his wife met Baba in Bombay on the 17th morning, when Baba paid a visit to them in their luxurious private railway salon at Victoria Terminus. (They sent their American Packard to bring him.) Also present were Lady Hyderi's sister and her niece and son-in-law.
