His activity was making me curious. One morning, I saw him again doing  the same and decided to put my curiosity to rest. I asked him about his obsession for fallen flowers while other elderly people pluck fresh flowers. I asked him, "Sir, I always see you picking up these freshly fallen flowers from the ground. What do you do with them?" "I offer these flowers at the feet of the deities in my pooja room," he answered very calmly. This was the first time I had heard something like this.
