The day had begun at 4 AM. Mom and Lekha had to get ready for our early morning departure at the crack of dawn at 6, so as to beat heavy traffic and unnecessary blockages that are quite frequent once the school going children as well as the office goers are on the move. The appointment with Lekha's doctor was at 0915h.
We're at his new clinic on the dot after breakfast. And we could meet him at the appointed hour which was quite different from our previous experiences. He was mighty pleased with his patient's medical status. The dosage of her medicines have been revised and he did open up about the change in his working environment that he'd been planning for quite a while. While snapping the umbilical cord with the hospital that he'd served for the past several years he conceded that it wasn't very easy emotionally. But I can vouch for one thing, he's gonna make it big by his dedication, sincerity and steadfastness towards his work.
May god be with you in your efforts, Dr Padmanabha Shenoy! And our best wishes shall always be with you. As usual, he's fascinated with our impending tour programme covering Bangalore and Bombay, straddling the new year's eve.
We made a quick exit after our tryst with the doctor. While Lekha had taken off for a few essential purchases, mom and I spent our time talking about a lot many things. She'd to be constantly made to move her limbs to shake off the blues while undertaking a long journey.
Traffic was fine but there was this incident where a young lady - on a Kinetic Honda, yet again. I seem to be having some sort of repeated trysts or fatal attraction with this specimen, wonder why? - had scraped the Chevy's right forward tyre. Luckily, she was able to hold on to her balance and nothing untoward happened!
Tailpiece.
1. Shouted at mom when she complained of stiffness while getting out of the car at the end of the journey. Felt bad, but had to do that to ensure that she didn't get into a state of self pity.
2. The caretaker, entrusted with the safe keeping of my dad's house, had been busy setting up his son's coconut business. He was, therefore, not able to give his attention to the overall upkeep of the house which was not very pleasing. Apologised to dad at his resting place and between us, we've chalked out a plan to get the place spruced up over the next ten days!
3. It's a boisterous evening at Lekha's sister's. The night had to be rung in early as tomorrow's yet another long day. We take off at 6, so as to be with mom's doctor - for her review - by 0915h.
