Mr. Pandey arrived in Kathmandu on May 10 at eight o'clock in the evening. He decided to call on his uncle who lived in Bhaktapur. He got on a bus at the station and paid the fare to the conductor. The bus was very crowded, so Mr. Pandey had to stand up all the way.

When he reached Thimi, Mr. Pandey got off the bus and walked a short distance to the house where his uncle lived. He knocked at the door of his uncle's house. He waited for a few minutes but no one came to the door. He was disappointed to find no one at home. He saw a bench at the corner of the porch, and he sat down on it to wait for his uncle.
