Mrs Ameer spoke about her conviction at being able to do her best in this life, however little it may be. She is a very committed person for social good in her several other endeavours, be it as an entrepreneur or in public life. Daaji acknowledged her intentions in this and then the discussion turned towards the conflicts ravaging the world, especially touching such large populations of one specific religion or the other. Daaji was sceptical about the involvement of the US in the conflict. He felt that much of such conflicts stem from the knowledge and interpretations propounded by institutionalised religions given their innate extortive nature towards the individuals under their influence.
It was well after 9 a.m. that Daaji went for his morning walk today accompanied by his grandchildren. While walking little Nanak Dev said he wanted to plant something there. Daaji replied, “We had sown some plants here earlier. Let's go and have a look at how those plants have grown.”
On the way back, a few members from the Kanha tool room met Daaji and showed some designs for wooden boxes and contraptions to hang up garden tools on the wall. Daaji asked all of them to join him for some tea. He sat in his favourite swing and took time to share his suggestions with them on how the boxes could be made.
Later in the afternoon around 3 p.m., he wanted to go to Kanha Sarovar and spend some time with the grandchildren there. Kanha Sarovar is a beautiful lake that he has designed to harvest water with special technologies such as floating solar power, and dense plantations of several kinds of trees.
When he was just about to leave in his car, he noticed two Kanha Coaching Centre students standing near the entrance door to his home. He postponed his visit to Sarovar and went back to his office room with them. After spending a few minutes with the students he asked that they be accompanied back to the Kanha Coaching Centre. The Kanha Coaching Centre is now a thriving training institute with over 800 students from all over India who are in residence there. They are preparing for Engineering and Medical University entrance examinations which are some of the most difficult entrance exams in the country.
Later Mrs. Rehana Ameer Banu had an audience with Daaji. Rehana Ameer is the first Indian-born woman to be elected as an Independent Common Councillor in the City of London Corporation’s 950 years of history in March 2017 for Vintry Ward.

Daaji deplored the conditions of the Palestine population which are really tough to witness. He felt that if any religion is carefully understood then it would not be possible that such conditions are created on either side of the border. He found that it is astounding how terrorism is allowed to flourish under the banner of any purpose whatsoever.
Later he conducted a meditation session and presented Mrs Rehana Ameer Banu with the book, The Wisdom Bridge. After they left he finally could go to Kanha Sarovar with his granddaughter Devki. On the way back he stopped at the cricket stadium and took a walk long into the evening.
