Later Baba tenderly examined Adi's ear, and Adi repented for expressing his insolence. For several days afterward, Baba nursed him and administered medicine into his ear.
Baba was in a good mood when they arrived in Karachi on 31 May. Pilamai's husband Hormuzd, Baily, and other devotees were waiting at the station to welcome them. Baily's sister Khorshed had moved to Karachi, and Baba had sent him ahead to assist with travel arrangements. Baba rode to Pilamai's house in a victoria and relaxed there. Within a few days, Karachi residents who already knew of Meher Baba came for his darshan.
During this time, Baba's golden brown hair had grown quite long and curly. While staying at Pilamai's, he asked Gulmai to comb his hair. It was the first time that the Master permitted one of the women mandali to comb his hair. Gulmai did so with a new comb and brush and, from that day on, she carefully preserved all the loose hair.
Pilamai made everyone comfortable in her home. Later, she guided Baba and the mandali on a sightseeing excursion to places of interest in Karachi. One day Baba went to visit his maternal aunt and uncle, Banu Masi and Khodadad Masa, who had moved there from Bombay. Afterward Baba visited Baily's sister's home.
On Monday, 4 June 1923, Baba and the group took a train to Malir (a small village two stations away from Karachi) for a picnic. At Malir he helped to shoulder the watermelons and walked two miles to a nearby stream. There the Master bathed and washed his own clothes. Although Pilamai's father Jehangir, like other Zoroastrians at the time, was "opposed" to Baba, he was a very generous man and would send edibles and fruit for the group. On this occasion, he had provided delicious food for the picnic (Baba had only watermelon juice); but just as the mandali began to eat, tiny insects bit some of them. Baba lost his temper and ordered all to return home on half-empty stomachs, despite all the delicacies cooked. Ramjoo had to shoulder an uneaten watermelon back to Karachi, but along the way it slipped off his shoulders and broke apart, so he was spared transporting the cumbersome burden.
Pilamai's brother, Rusi, was residing in Quetta with his wife Khorshed and their children. Rusi was Pendu's former boss in Quetta, and Khorshed's younger sister was married to Gulmai's nephew Dinshaw (Sarosh's older brother). Khorshed had once taken her children to Manzil-e-Meem where she briefly met the Master for the first time. The entire family had attended Rustom's wedding in Ahmednagar and had met Baba there and quickly became devoted to him.
