Memo was a courageous and bold woman. Because of her inner strength, she confronted the opposition straightforwardly. The same situation faced her in Poona, where she was constantly ridiculed wherever she went. But no harm came to her because of her intrepid nature. Her real strength was her belief in her son's divinity, and Baba's nazar was on her, which enabled her to face the bitter antagonism against him.
After returning to Meherabad, Baba began commuting regularly between Rahuri and Nasik. He also went to Bombay to see Mani, which afforded his followers there an opportunity to see him. He would stay at Naoroji's residence and devotees would come for darshan.
Even though the Dadachanji family had grown close to Baba, during his visits one thing bothered the children of the family. Bachamai would serve them their meal only after first serving Baba. The children complained that Baba's visits caused them trouble, mainly because they were hungry and did not get their food on time. Bachamai threatened to go tell Baba not to come to their house. But then the children pleaded with her not to do that, because they loved to play with Baba when he came. At one point, they proposed that since Baba was such a fun, it would be better if he permanently stayed at their house.
On occasion, Baba would visit the Dadachanjis' home unexpectedly, without prior invitation. But Bachamai would lovingly accommodate and serve him and the mandali with him. A remarkable woman, Bachamai lived only to keep Baba pleased at all times.
At Meherabad, from the beginning of June 1936, Baba began experiencing spells of giddiness, though he slept and ate normally and had no other symptoms. Gadekar came and saw Baba on the 14th, as did Maneck Ranji, Sarosh and Dhake. Later, Baba went to see a movie at Sarosh Talkies with Nilu and Adi Sr.
On the late afternoon of 22 June, he returned to Nasik, accompanied by Rustom, Pendu and Vishnu. Chanji was also there, having been called from Bombay. Baba went to see Naval and Dina Talati, and eased Dina's concerns about her husband's poor health.
Dr. Deshmukh had come from Nagpur with his wife Indumati and their newborn daughter Sanjeevani. The family met Baba at Rustom's on the 23rd morning and spent the day with him. Deshmukh was overjoyed to see Baba after a year.
