Ramesh Sood was a building contractor who used to engage Banta Singh as a petty sub-contractor. At the time of measurement there used to be a big row between the two, and everytime Ramesh Sood swore he would not deal with the other man in future, and yet he repeated the same mistake again and again. When this row occurred between the two for the 4th time, the matter took a serious turn. Ramesh was on the verge of collapse, his body drenched with cold sweat. He was already a heart patient. The doctor warned him against any work which would accelerate his heart beat, and advised complete bed-rest. When Ramesh got the next contract, all his friends advised him to snap his connections with Banta Singh and keep him away from the next contract.

But Ramesh Sood was a confirmed Chestnut Bud Negative type. He engaged Banta Singh. Another row and this time the consequences were more serious. He got a paralytic stroke and had to be bed-ridden for 6 months during which time Chestnut Bud was given 3 times a day along with other medicines for paralysis.

When he finally recovered from the paralytic stroke, he had already learnt to benefit from the past experiences. He never employed Banta Singh again.
