took some much needed rest in domail bala for around 30-40 min on the 'takht' in the hotel and then qari sahib woke me out of half sleep for lunch.

He also told me about another group who knew me and wanted to meet. So, we did lunch and waited for the group a bit but then decided to leave as we were getting late.
