Noolkar and Baba.

Noolkar was a sub judge. Nanasaheb Chandorkar and Noolkar were best friends. Nana saheb narrated about Saibaba many times to Noolkar. As Noolkar was not interested in saints, he was reluctant to visit Shirdi. But Nana Saheb persisted with Noolkar. Atlast Noolkar budged with two conditions. He should get a Brahmin cook as well as good Nagpur Oranges for presenting to Baba. Mysteriously on the very next day, a brahmin cook approached Noolkar for employment. He also got a basketful of 100 Nagpur oranges from nowhere. As both the conditions were fulfilled, he had to go to Shirdi. At first Baba was very angry with him. Later Noolkar found that Baba was a Divine avatar. Hence he stayed in Shirdi. During his last moments, Vedas were read to him and Noolkar passed away peacefully after drinking the water that was used for washing the feet of Baba. Saisaran, Sairam.
