I pounced on the opportunity. After the exam, the faculty member
told me that their centre was facing a space crunch due to which this
decision had been taken and he confirmed the change of my centre.
I thus had the opportunity of visiting Guruji during my exams. Who

Understanding Guruji’s powers is much beyond our comprehension.
