One sunny afternoon, as Baba was busy serving his regular customers, a beautiful young woman named Rukmini walked into his life. She was a 22-year-old college student, on summer break, and had come to Mahabaleshwar with her family to escape the scorching heat of the city. Rukmini, with her bright smile and sparkling eyes, instantly caught Baba's attention. As she ordered a cup of tea, their eyes met, and Baba's heart skipped a beat.
