At Guruvayur, taking in the progress!

Lekha and me were back at Guruvayur, to assess the progress of work being done on our house into which we'll eventually shift. She's been imaginative, putting forth ideas, discussing the merits and demerits of her suggestions with Nandakumar, who oversees the work.

While keeping abreast of the details, I've kept myself studiously in the background and let the two of them take crucial decisions and must endorse the fact that the final results have been good. I'm not being condescending when I said the foregoing, it's only because I lack the patience to go into the finer details! And moreover, a feminine touch is definitely required while setting up a house as it goes a long way.

We'd also visited the Guruvayur and Mammiyoor temples in the morning and noticed that there was no let up in the crowds despite the overcast skies and the heavy traffic on the roads. Keeping the breakfast and lunch dates makes the itinerary crowded but it is exciting to meet up with people and assimilate the latest bit of news as well as their concerns which could be over trivia, at times, however. Moreover, as our neighbours say, they're now sure that we'd be amidst them shortly.

The drives up and down, stretching beyond 200 kms were enjoyable for the most part - on the highways to be precise - but was mad for the final 25 kms each on approach/exit!
