Though
I very much like to lay down my pen after the printing of the 7th, the last in
the series, l am not allowed by many intellectuals, holding the highest posts in
the universities and the ordinary semi-literates also. Swept off by my approach
and style, the former class solicited me honestly to write on Boudda Chaityas
and Jain Mandirs, when met during my travels. As I like the theme, I decided to
oblige, and I am at it. Curiously enough, a Christian friend perusing a few
pages in the Series No.5 exhorted - why have you left our Churches in the
lurch? Please write on apostles and disciples great, soon. Pleased with his
sincerity, I quipped to put him in good humour that my next one is on the
Churches and Mosques of India. It gratified him most, but later it worried me a
little, since I could not take it up.
