In this story, the writer explained the character of his maternal uncle Nanukaka, who always tell a lie and cheats others in his own way. He comes to Delhi at his sister’s house to meet minister but the narrator does not want Nanukaka to come but at his mother’s insistence, he takes leave from the office and undeservingly Narrator goes to the railway station to receive his maternal uncle.

Nanukaka travelled second class carriage at the third class ticket. So, he was caught by the ticket checker but managed the problem easily. Nanukaka wanted to meet a minister. So, he went to see the minister but he did not get any appointment to get in touch with the minister while he is called for a meeting with the minister after three days.

At last, Nanukaka plays a trick to fulfil his selfish aim at seeing a minister and he really succeeded in doing so. He tells his sister’s son to hire a Royal car and pretends to his driver. He catches a motor and took a Royal car to serve his evil purpose. Nanukaka wanted to meet the minister. So, he himself dressed like an Astrologer and again reaches the residence of the minister.

In the visitors’ book, he writes his false address showing himself as the “Herediatery Astrologer to the Maharaja of Ninnore.” As soon as the minister sees that address, he becomes very restless to see the Astrologer.

At last, the welfare minister himself came to meet him at the residence of Nanukaka. Thus, Nanukaka sees the minister very easily.
