At 9 o'clock in the night, we reached a Dharamshala for rest, where I had stayed many times before. The operator made arrangements for my stay in a nearby hotel by juggling. I helped the operator for an hour and left there and asked him to send my food to the hotel itself. It was a cold January night and it was raining lightly from above.
I had just left to go to the hotel when I met Shanti Devi in the middle of the way.
Started asking - where are you going?
I said - I have booked a room in the hotel. I will not be able to sleep here on the ground. You also know that I have a habit of drinking at night, so all that will not happen here. Anyway, it is very cold today, so I am thinking that if I take a couple of sips, then the night will pass smoothly.

Shanti looked at me as if she wanted to say something but could not say it.
I only asked - if you need anything, then tell me.

Then she said - Mr. Kanwar, I also have a lot of difficulty in sleeping on the ground. It is very cold today, so maybe only one blanket will not work. If a room was arranged to stay, then the night would have passed.
I said - if you don't mind living with me?
