Rema had come from Palakkad to attend a ceremony where Padmakumar's little nephew is being given his first meal at Guruvayur. The ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow. She'd dropped in by lunch time.
The child, Devadattan, had been through very, very difficult times. He was almost lost at birth due to a delayed surgery because of which there was a deficiency of Oxygen for his intake. The doctor is a well known guy and has been the family's doctor for many years. It was this belief and sustenance on his efforts that suffered a dent thanks to the incident and the child had to be kept in the intensive care units - in two hospitals - for over a month. Even last month, he'd to undergo a surgery to release his immobile right thumb. Devadattan's first adult meal, therefore, was a very precious event for the entire family!
It was Rema's birthday too and we'd celebrated it with the traditional cutting of the cake followed by lunch, had on banana leaves. And there was plenty to catch up with. Could see the thrill on mom's face as usual and between the two of them there's a special bond. This time they're planning on the details of things to be done when my second kid sister arrives from Bangalore, on vacation, by the third week of this month.
Padmakumar could make it only by 2200h as he could leave Palakkad after 1900h from work. Being the accounts man of his organisation, there's a lot of work that needs his personal attention after the culmination of the previous financial year and the commencement of the new. I've always been impressed with his work ethics and hard work. He slogs willingly and I'm yet to hear him whine about his superior, even when his leave - taken for a very special occasion - was cancelled at the last moment, not very long ago!
It was another round of discussions and catching up before calling it a day.
Tailpiece.
Another quiet yet active day that passed off very fast.
