Chapter 7 - "The Sixth Night"

Summary of the pages 191 - 247:
The seventh chapter begins with the diseased servant and Balram, both of them standing ahead of the hotel and holding their masters water, which are jogging.
Next, Balram talks to this servant and arranged a meeting with a gold-haired whore for his master, but actually he´s going to have it by himself. They also talk about methods of cheating his master and you get informed about a list of the best ones. Soon, Balram needs to use these methods of getting further salaries by cheating his lord.
When he negotiates a price in amount of 7000 rupees with her pimp, Balram soon recognizes that he gets screwed. He ordered a girl with light hair but instead of that, he gets one with tinged hair and looses, finally, all of his 7000 rupees.
In the further progress of the chapter, the Mongoose comes to have political and commercial consultancies with Mr. Ashok. 
More and more often, Balram gets tempted to steal Mr. Ashoks bag, which obviously is often in use for handling oodles of money for the election. Additionally, he catches up on escape ways, especially on railways, for the case he´ll decide to escape with the money.
Balram meets a bookseller, who´s going to teach him a bit about peotry and literature, and he´s mentioning one significant sentence which will take an important part of Balrams behaviour. Then, Balram receives a letter from his granny Kusum. She sends his nephew Dharam and threatened him to call on his lord if he wouln´t start to send any money to her. 
Obviously, the way the election runs out gets a kind of desaster for Mr. Ashok. His political opponents screw him.
Back to Balram, which goes to zoo with Dharam to get to know each other better, meanwhile plans his final strike. The next day, if Balram is supposed to drive Mr. Ashok to the Sheraton, suddenly the car stopped and Balram simulates a problem with the wheels. Mr. Ashok, requested to assist with looking for the problem, left the car and gets killed by Balram, which decides in the very last moment to pick Dharam up when he escapes.

Personal impressions:
Well, when I look at the personal development of Balram, it is not to overlook that he got more and more corrupt on a regular base. Sometimes it is a kind of terrifying if you see how people can change if it´s about money. His lord, Mr. Ashok, everytime the most sympathetic and likeable member of his family, but nevertheless he had to die by reason of his money.
