Ravindra spent the next three days with great anxiety and expectation. He wanted to share so much with SANSHANIKA. He had even planned to give some gift to him as that would be a way of sharing his gratitude. Ravindra waited till 12:30 in the night but Sanshanika did not appear. He had gone off to sleep when he heard Sanshanika calling him. He woke up and immediately went to his table to fetch the gift. Sanshanika refused it saying no gift of earth is worthy to him. Then Ravindra wanted to describe the incident of his school. But Sanssanika told him that he already had the complete knowledge of it, so there was nothing new to tell to him. Ravindra felt a bit depressed, but the next thing that Sanshanika told him filled him with new energy and enthusiasm.
Sanshanika informed Ravindra that from the next week a new boy would be joining his school. He had to make his father the local guardian of the boy. Ravindra asked him, “who was the boy?”
“Why? I, myself” Sanshanika replied.
For a moment Ravindra was awe-struck he said, “In your present form it would be impossible to get an admission in the school.”
Sanshanika laughed at him and assured him that he can change his form and from the next day, he will be in a human form. He would also get the relevant documents and the money needed for the admission. After saying this Sanshanika vanished in a blink.
The next morning, the atmosphere at Ravindra’s house was not good. His father’s recent performance was not good and the company had given him an ultimatum that if he didn’t improve his performance by the month end then he would be sacked. Now this was a dual problem for Ravindra, he knew that Sanshanika would be coming in any moment and his father was in no mood to talk. He was thinking hard of how to manage the situation when his mother informed him that a boy named Joe had come to meet him. Ravindra went out and saw a slightly dark looking lean boy was waiting for him. Hw went out to meet the boy , but he didn’t know him. The boy came close to him and said, “I am Sanshanika, but now you introduce me as Joe.” Ravindra wanted to tell him about his father’s problem, but Sanshanika said, “I know the problem, don’t worry.”
Inside the room Joe went straight to Ravindra’s father and said, “Uncle, I am Joe, I am Ravindra’s friend, I have come here to help you out.” Ravindra’s father was surprised and wanted to flare up, but Joe stopped him and said’ “ Uncle for one day you take me along with you, if things don’t change in your favour then I will never come back to you. But if it changes then you will have to do me a favour in return”
Ravindra’s father asked, “What favour?” “Don’t worry about it now just get ready within ten minutes, I am waiting for you”, saying this Joe dragged Ravindra along with him and went out.
Ravindra was a bit nervous, but he was comforted when Joe said, “Don’t worry everything is under the control of Sanshanika.”
Ravindra’s father along with Joe, first went to the N.P.V.N Cardiac hospital, there was absolute chaos there they had prepared themselves for eight open-heart surgeries but the stents were missing from there stock. They were relieved to see Ravindra’s father and one of the doctors said, “Mr. Murthy you have to save us now from this serious trouble” Immediately the problem was fixed as Mr. Murthy called up his company and they supplied the stents in an hour. The hospital authorities were so pleased that the M.D personally assured Mr.Murthy that they will go for a yearly contract with them.
Mr. Murthy was both pleased and surprised, he wanted to ask Joe something Joe again stopped him and said, “ Now let us go to C.N.M Orthopedics another surprise awaits you there.”
At the C.N.M Orthopedics Mr. Murthy received a huge contract for steel plates and rods. He could not believe his luck and then asked Joe how the things were changing. Joe made a very serious face and replied," I am blessed by Sanshanika whatever I wish it happens. And even if you chant Sanshanika many of your problems will get vanished.
By now Mr. Murthy was totally baffled, he asked in mumbling tone, " What is the favour that I should do?
Joe replied, “You will have to be my local guardian and get me admitted in the school where your son studies, in-fact in the same class.”
Joe took his leave saying that the next morning he will be meeting them for the admission and he walked away. A stunned Mr. Murthy just kept staring but could not speak anything.

So friends from next week on weekends I will be bringing the pandemonium that Joe (Sanshanika) will be creating in the school and how in course of time he will bring about a real change.
