The pt had always been a religious person and had total faith in God. He will do things when he feels that it will make God happy. He is a very sensitive person, emotionally weak and cries easily. He has 3 more yrs to retire. Wants good health, so that he can do good things for the society. He wants to work for the poor, the orphans and the aged people. He always wanted to be a good man. He thinks about his complaints and cries. He had held a very important post in the firm and if he wanted he could have earned a lot of money by illegal means but he never did. He is a man of principles. (He cried during the interview for no reason). He was very attached with his Guruji who expired in 2005. He talks to him in his dreams to reduce his burden from his heart. He feels unfortunate.
