56. Ba's alertness

In 1942, on the occasion of the first anniversary of the passing away of Mahadevbhai, Ba invited thirty prisoners to a feast. Though not at all well, she served semolina (sheero) with her own shaking hand to all of them, the other dishes being served by Dr. Gilder, Mirabehn, Sushilabehn, Manubehn and Pyarelalji. As Manubehn went round" serving the guests, she inadvertently forgot to serve one of them. Ba observed this and she immediately pulled her up, admonishing her to be always alert and attentive when serving food to others.
