Even from his seclusion, Baba was anxious about the sweeper's youngest son, and if no news was received, Baba would dictate a note to Eruch to be sent to Pendu asking why he had not been kept informed that day about Raja's condition.
Adi came as usual on Friday, 12 December 1947 and brought Nusserwan Satha and his friend V. G. Luktuke, 47. Baba at first refused to see Luktuke, who did not have prior permission to come, but he then relented and spoke with him for a while. Luktuke Mama (Uncle), as he was called, lived near Akbar Press and had first met Baba through Nusserwan at the Meherabad birthday celebration in 1938.
On the 15th, Don was called up the hill to sort out a misunderstanding between himself and Kaka Baria.
On Tuesday, 16 December, Baba directed all the residents at Meherabad to meet him at 4:00 P.M. on top of "Seclusion Hill" — as Tembi Hill later came to be known. Ramjoo and Adi Jr. were both living in Ahmednagar at this time and they too were called, as was Adi Sr., Adi's office assistant, Dattu Mehendarge and the boy Amir. Baba spent some time with those who had come, discussing any individual or collective issues, and then sent them back to Meherabad.
On the twelfth day of Baba's seclusion, 17 December 1947, Baba walked down to the Pimpalgaon ashram at ten that morning, thus ending his seclusion on the hill. Ali Shah was carried down. Jalbhai had been staying at Pimpalgaon and left for Poona.
On the 18th and 19th of December, Baba sat with Ali Shah for three hours each day in a room at the Pimpalgaon residence (later Pendu's room). After having worked with him for two weeks, Baba sent Ali Shah back to Meherabad with Baidul.
The timing of Adi Sr.'s visit was changed from every other day at 4:00 P.M. to 9:00 A.M. daily. He was always called to drive one of the cars whenever Baba took the women to Sarosh Cinema, which he did on 18 December. They were scheduled to see a mystery ( The Dark Mirror ), but the reels had not arrived. Baba was furious. Adi suggested they go the following day, but all were ready. They had to watch a disappointing Indian film instead. Since September, Baba had taken the women to a film every week — and sometimes they watched double features!
