The day had begun with a massive cleaning process. The sheets had to be washed, dried and pressed. Certain parts of the house required better scrubbing down as the cleaner's job was not satisfactory and of course, my Chevy needed a thorough wash. Sanil, my brother-in-law, was at his culinary best and had brought out an exquisite breakfast which permitted Lekha and my sister, Minni to visit the nearby temples.
Mom seemed to be thrilled to have come back to her place and she was going around every nook and cranny of her house to find out the standards of cleanship and was generally, not very pleased with what she saw!
We'd a delayed lunch and soon after, we'd set off for Kochi. The journey was nice and uneventful but we'd to pass through thundershowers which stretched across Alappuzha, all the way to my cousin's place. And we're in time for celebrating the 36th wedding anniversary of Mohan and Jaya where our friends had also joined up.
My 102 yr old aunt was alert and did register our presence with one of those smiles that have, sadly, become rarer these days. Since the house was full, we're accommodated at her neighbour's flat and consequently, could have a very educative conversation with the spirited journalist who'd his own views about the ethics prevalent among their breed. Interesting revelations indeed.
The night was getting to be late but the upshot of the whole evening's mad conglomeration was the crystallising of a programme when the group is scheduled to visit Thailand, around Onam time.
Tailpiece.
And before anyone could change his/her ideas, I'd shot out a mail to my friends, Anil and Radha about our programme and to know whether they'd the convenience to host us, chart out an exclusive sight seeing programme!
