Roda Mistry had given birth to a son on 16 May, and against the doctor's orders not to leave the hospital, she came to Ashiana for the Master's darshan. The child was barely two weeks old, but Roda was determined to show him to Baba.
Baba took the baby boy on his lap and named him Meherwan, remarking, "Tehemtan has returned ..."
Tehemtan was Roda's brother who had died at a young age in 1943.
Raosaheb, Ali Akbar (Aloba) and Meherbai Merchant were also granted interviews while Baba was in Bombay. In the afternoon Baba went to the Empire Theater to see an Eddie Cantor comedy ( If You Knew Susie ). With him were Adi Sr., Meherjee and Nariman. Later they also watched part of a cricket match.
Baba reported that he had no sleep in the train on the way from Mount Abu, and he had trouble sleeping in Bombay, as well, waking the mandali at 3:45 A.M.
On the morning of 30 May 1949, Baba left Bombay in Adi Sr.'s car along with Mehera, Mani, Meheru and Goher. Before leaving, he stopped at Dina Talati's house at Matrunga to see her and her children. Dina had been in Baba's contact since the days of Manzil-e-Meem, where she and her husband Naval had been frequent visitors. After Naval's demise, Dina resided in Bombay according to Baba's instructions, and passed her life in his remembrance.
Baba and the women stopped for lunch at Bindra House in Poona with the Jessawala family. Jal Kerawalla was there also. They returned to Meherazad the same day, where Baba called Sarosh, Savak Damania, Savak Kotwal and Frenchy. Anna 104, Baidul, Eruch and Gustadji arrived in Ahmednagar from Bombay by train. Eruch left Meherazad on the 31st to stay at Bindra House and Gustadji returned to Meherabad.
At Meherazad, Baba became very annoyed when he learned that Gulmai had gone to stay in Sakori. Baba ordered Adi Sr. to move to Meherazad or Meherabad if Gulmai decided to remain at Sakori. Baba eventually forgave Gulmai, on condition that she not visit Sakori or have any connection with the ashram until the end of 1949.
During this period, Baba had sent Dadi Kerawala and Sohrabji Vakil of Surat to Mandla in Central India, to farm the land of Baba's center there. They were on their way on 12 May when Sohrabji suddenly had a heart attack and died while the train halted at Gadarwara.
