Nariman's birthday was celebrated the following day with food prepared and sent by Chhagan. Nariman, his brothers, Jim Mistry, Meherwan Jessawala, Baba's nephews Rustom, Sohrab and Jehangu Sukhadwalla had been staying at Meherazad for the past few days, and they left that evening.
Mehernath Kalchuri's tenth birthday (on the 22nd) was celebrated on 21 October 1963. Rama, Sheela and Mehernath were called to Meherazad on the 21st to be with Baba and have lunch with him.
Bal Natu was a schoolteacher and had Diwali vacation, so he was permitted to stay at Meherazad for five days from the 22nd. Traveling from Andhra, Koduri Krishna Rao arrived with his son, Prasad, on the 25th. Baba met with him for a short while and expressed his pleasure at Krishna Rao's efforts to establish Mehersthan in Kovvur.
General Bhandari and his wife, Kamla, from Poona were also visitors that day. The general had to go to Delhi and had received Baba's permission to see him before he left. Baba was gracious enough to pose for photographs, though it meant getting up and coming outside, which was physically painful. Before they left, Baba presented the couple with two books signed by him.
Sarosh and Viloo also came that day at 2:00 P.M. with food for Baba and the mandali. An annual mela, a "Meher Baba Fair," was held in Meher Dham in Nauranga in the last week of November, and Baba asked them, along with Dhake and Sushila, to be his chief representatives at the fair in Hamirpur that year. They agreed to take part in the program.
Kaikobad's son Ratan was permitted to meet Baba and his father briefly on 28 October. Rustom Kaka and Manek had an interview on 2 November about Manek's future career plans.
Physical pain in Baba's injured hip continued to plague him during this period. His walking was not only restricted to the minimum, but now he even felt uncomfortable while seated in a chair. As mentioned, Baba would be brought to the hall in the lift-chair and stayed every morning from eight o'clock until noon, and again for two hours in the afternoon. When he entered the hall, all the men, including Baba, would stand as Eruch recited the Master's and Repentance prayers. The prayers were recited before the afternoon session also. Despite the pain and his tiring seclusion work, which he actively carried on, Baba would often send for different persons and spend hours discussing various matters with them.
