The next day, 23 December, calling Sorabji Siganporia to Ashiana, Baba expressed appreciation for his efforts in arranging matters, remarking, "I am very pleased with you and your work. Both programs yesterday proved quite good, and everything was arranged to my satisfaction."
At Ashiana, Baba would often send for members of the Dadachanji family, and others such as Dina Talati, her daughters Perviz and Jeroo, or Soonamasi and Khorshed, to give them his company. Arnavaz's brother Homa was still in London, and one day she asked Baba, "Should Homa be called to India for the sahavas?" Baba replied that he should not miss the opportunity.
Tuesday, 24 December 1957, was celebrated as Mehera's birthday, and that day Baba remarked, "Tomorrow is my birthday!"
So on Christmas morning, the women sang Happy Birthday to him in remembrance of Jesus.
Siganporia had wanted to host a luncheon for Baba and the mandali on the day of the Sunderbai Hall darshan. Baba had agreed, but after all the arrangements had been made at the West End Hotel, Baba sent a telegram from Meherazad canceling it. Because of this, Baba went to Siganporia's home for lunch on the 25th, accompanied by the mandali. The food was served and Baba asked Siganporia to eat with them. After lunch, Siganporia took the mandali upstairs to the third floor to wash their hands. Baba was waiting for them, and though he had difficulty, he too walked up. Siganporia remembered that he had forgotten to garland Baba, and did so.
At Ashiana one day, everyone was gathered near Baba when Siganporia arrived. Baba had made him sit near him.
He asked, "Do you know I am God?"
"Yes," Siganporia said.
"I am God, remember this," Baba emphasized, and then added, "A football goes here and there when kicked, but ultimately it reaches the goal. So are you kicked while doing center work. But don't worry, you too will reach the Goal."
Baba, the women and men mandali returned to Meherazad on 26 December. On the drive out of Bombay, Baba always had the car stop at Dadar to visit Naoroji Dadachanji and family. The room Baba once slept in was still reserved for him and an oil lamp was always kept burning there before his photograph.
Beheram had an interview with Baba at Meherazad on 29 December 1957 and then returned to Poona. Deshmukh had also come to Ahmednagar that day, as had Bal Natu, and Adi Sr. brought them to Meherazad, along with Gulmai. Deshmukh returned to Meherazad the following day with Indumati and their children. Baba spent two hours with the family, and Deshmukh photographed Baba with them. Katie also arrived that day from Bombay. And Hoshang Bharucha arrived on the 31st and was driven to Meherazad with Jalbhai and Sam Kerawala.
