We
cannot agree with your notion about the combined kitchen. It will not prove a
fence for observing celibacy. Forced separation of men and women will cause
unhappiness. We hope to lead a celibate family life. But we do not want to be
monks and nuns. The combined kitchen is likely to be a place of rendezvous.
Also there will be petty troubles arising out of the narrow-mindedness, of
some. The children are likely to suffer culturally [After this the writers
have made counter proposals supporting them by arguments.] |

Gandhiji
asked me to join him saying that he had realized my worth and found me
trustworthy. He has uttered such words to very few. He has asked me to
proceed to Hyderabad to earn and enjoy for a year or so. I showed my
readiness to join him that very moment but he insisted on my passing one year
at Hyderabad. To-day I told him that Mr. Banker was cross at me for my
decision not to join Home Rule League. He advised me to tolerate it. At
times, I considered my life worthless but to-day I feel it is worth living. His words are a great treasure to me. |
