My grandfather belonged to a world of formal manners. He was handsome, always perfectly dressed, neat and tidy in the appearance. But that was only one part of my grandfather’s character. He was also the kindest person I’ve ever known.

One story returns to my memory again and again. I was 16 and took part in a school play. We had been preparing for the play for several months; it was our yearly event. All our parents, family and friends were scheduled to attend.

Our teacher, Mr. Razin, was devoted to art and took even a school play very seriously. He had written our play himself and he was committed to making sure it would succeed. He had strong views on social equality and he had written a play about a group of people who met a bedraggled(全身泥污的) homeless tramp(流浪汉). That was the plot.

Then disaster struck. The man who was to play the elderly tramp called in and told Mr. Razin that he could not appear. He did not give a reason. His unexpected decision shocked our teacher, and the cast(全体演员) sat looking at each other in hopelessness. It was two hours before the opening, and soon the audience seats would be full. The tramp was on stage the entire ninety minutes of the play. In addition, he was an old man, and we were all under twenty.

“Where can I find an actor at the last minute?” cried Mr. Razin. At that moment, I heard the familiar, sharp click of a man’s shoes, and my grandfather walked in. He was on his way to a formal event that night and had come to promise me that he would see most of the play even though he would have to leave early because of the event at which he had to make a speech. I took my grandfather aside and explained what had happened and that we probably would not be able to perform the play that night. I then introduced him to my teacher.

A long time ago, when I worked in Ahmedabad, we would often drive to Mount Abu for short trips—it took us anywhere between seven to eight hours to drive up. That year, my close relatives were visiting from Lucknow during the holidays, and we made a plan to visit Abu for three days. Since there were seven of us, including my brother’s family who also lived in Ahmedabad, we hired two cabs. We picked ourselves into the vehicles, stacked (堆放) our luggage on the carriers on top and started out.

A good time was bad by all, and soon it was time to return. During the journey back, we stopped at a Dhaba for tea and snacks near the Mehana district. That’s when I noticed suddenly that the rope with which the luggage was tied on and of the carriers had come loose and one of the suitcases was missing. It must have fallen off somewhere along the way.

Although it didn’t contain any valuables—just clothes and some cash, we decided to retrace our steps, drawing back four kilometres, looking for the bag. But luck wasn’t our friend: we could not locate it and returned to Ahmedabad depressed.

After about a month, one day, while in my office, I got a call from my assistant that a certain Mr. Shah wanted to see me. I was in the middle of a meeting so he was asked to wait. After I got done, I called him into my office.

I was looking after the development of small industries in the state at the time, so my immediate query was. “How can we help you? Do you want to set up an industry or are you facing any issues in your enterprise?”

To which he said, “No, sir. I have not come for any official help. It is a personal matter. Did you lose something recently?”

Of course, it all came back to me and I told him about the lost suitcase from the cab back from Mount Abu a month ago.
