A great weekend.

1. At Kottayam.

On invite, Lekha and me had driven down to Kottayam to spend the weekend with our friends. Their two daughters were also there on a very short visit. The drive, the stay and the interaction were indeed memorable and thank god, we could make it!

The daughters have grown up to be beautiful and confident young ladies - Sneha is a doctor and currently doing her post graduation in Anaesthesia while, Soumya is a busy journalist. It was a pleasure catching up with them and to assimilate their hopes and aspirations. Here's us wishing them both the very best in all their endeavours.


2. At Sr Alphonsa's home.

On our return drive to Kochi, we'd the pleasure of visiting the memorial dedicated to Sr Alphonsa who'd attained sainthood in the recent past. Seeing the cot and the room of the house where little Alphonsa was born was ethereal. Truly humbling indeed!

3. And disaster struck!

As we're driving back from the memorial, my Cruze's port bumper took the impact of the railings of a narrow culvert while negotiating it. It's gonna be yet another visit tomorrow to the servicing station to make good the damage! When will I be a perfect driver?

4. Good news, good news!!

On reaching Kochi, Gavvy, a young man with the right values and whom we're fond of, informs us that he's soon gonna be a father, the d-month being Feb '12. Well, it's the perfect icing on the cake and mind you, today's an auspicious day as we mallus are celebrating the 'Janamashtami'!
