A tight schedule!

We'd kicked off from Guruvayur on the dot at 6. There were too many things to do and time seemed to be at a premium.

Mom had appointments with two of her doctors - the neuro physician and the ophthalmologist. The schedule was programmed about a week ago. As luck would have it, because it was counting day and the declaration of the election results, the roads had less traffic and driving was nice. After a light breakfast at an eatery nearby, we're on time to meet the neuro physician. The ready smile and his happiness on seeing us were genuine and he seemed to be making amends for not having met us last time but I must admit that it's my fault that it was requested for at too short a notice!

What he told me was heartening, in that, my mom was responding well to the medicines and he's reduced the dosages. The session with the ophthalmologist was equally nice and her right eye is back to normal after the laser work.

Lekha's doctor, however, has given 02 Jun for his review and from that point of view, this trip has gone haywire!

Our over night stay was at my uncle's - dad's youngest brother - place at Edappalli. His grandchildren and Sajeev and Shalini's children, Vivek and Lakshmi, got to know us better I must say. My aunt was her cute smiling self and it was great to be at their place after what seemed to be long time!


Tailpiece.

We saw the late night show of the Malayalam, 'God's own country'. Crafted by a budding director, it told of a story of three different people who'd never met before but got their lives intertwined by a mere quirk of fate thanks to the incidents of a single day!

It's my first visit to the Lulu Mall and I must say that the place was vibrant even around the midnight hours and the footfalls continue to increase everyday. The stink from an 'apology of a moat' on its southern side has spoiled the show. One only hopes that the matter gets sorted out at the earliest!
