Story Based On Future Perfect Tense

Katha at Vrindavan

When I boarded the bus, I was thinking about the ongoing events at Vrindavan. As per my calculations, the Katha will have completed by 1 o’clock before I reach the place. All the devotees will have taken the prasadam and Swamiji will have gone back to his lodging. The local devotees will have returned to their houses and the devotees from outstations will have returned to their guesthouses.

The staff in service of Swamiji will have banned the common folk from meeting him, since Swamiji’s health will have terribly deteriorated due to over-exertion and fasting. Only Sharda aunty will not have given up the hope of seeing me. She will have made all the arrangements to show me the temples of Vrindavan.
