Vaccination

You don't know the story of Pavitra and Khitish and the bother? Pavitra who had just come here with a rather French pronunciation of English said to K “I am a brother to you all” and Khitish cried out “Oh, no, no! ” P insisted but K still cried out with pain and politeness  in his voice “Oh, no, no! ” It turned out K had heard all through “I am a bother to you all!” So brothers are bothers and bothers are constant brothers to us insisting on inhabiting the Ashram – or at least visiting it, like the vaccination.
