It was unusual for boys to sit surrounding Baba in the evenings at "Sruti". Sometimes it was all fun and frolic. He called a fat boy "Pakoda" or "Bonda", a very thin boy was named "Dry fish"; the tallest boy got the appellation "Coconut tree"! Swami also imitated boys, teachers and even elders, which evoked pearls of laughter from everyone. At one time, there was a mimicry session by boys who imitated the sounds made by a puppy, a hen, a clock, a sheep, a goat and a buffalo. Swami laughed like a child with His children.
