that id be doing everything that i do at home at the ashram but without the help of a servant my interest is peace between hindus and muslims and that is more important i believe in all religions today nobody is even interested in voting i missed the bullet by just two inches this is not democracy people should vote out of their own will to elect the person they like there were many brits like mirabehn daughter of the british rear admiral sir edmond slade who wanted to see india get independence so i quit my job and continued living in the ashram he would eat pumpkin which would cost only two annas and would last for four to five days but later when he came to the ashram he made me his personal secretary i do gardening i sweep my compound in fact i didnt know who mahatma gandhi was back then at that time gandhiji was in aga khan palace where he was held a prisoner only when i saw the letters that came to ashram did i realise that it was gandhijis ashram he went to pacify them
