I recollect one amusing incident that took place early one morning, just before the Parāyana (ed: reading of scriptures) was to be chanted. For several weeks, Bhagavan had not been eating much food in the evening. As a result he tended to get a little hungry at about 4 a.m. the following morning. To assuage his hunger Bhagavan used to roast peanuts on His kumutti (ed: charcoal grill) and eat them. After he had roasted them He would offer some to Krishnaswami, His attendant, and to anyone else who happened to be in the hall at that time.
On this particular morning Bhagavan took out his peanuts and told Krishnaswami, 'Before they start the Veda Parāyana let us do peanut parāyana.'
