Dateline 29 Mar.
I'd got up at a quarter to 5 and begun to get ready in all earnestness. I'd begun to shut down 'The Quarterdeck' since last evening. It was complete in all respect by 6, this morning. Asok, had called up to say that they'd set off from Tirur around a quarter past 5. By a half past 6, they'd arrived and I gave them two piping cups of tea and by a 10 past 7 we're off.
The journey was uneventful. A quick breakfast at a small take away, short of Kodungalloor and another stop for a cuppa, around a half past 10 just off the Chertalla railway station at Susheela's tea stall - must admit that her tea was class - were the two halts that we'd permitted ourselves before fetching up at Indu's house at Kallada.
Indu's mom had spread a wonderful lunch for us and after an early tea, we were on our final leg to Lekha's ancestral house. Lekha was, meanwhile, monitoring our advance all the way. Finally, we're at Vazhuvelil House by a half past 4 where the family was slowly building up to conglomerate for tomorrow's ceremony.
Meanwhile, the oppressive heat was slowly giving way to the cool environment brought about by the sudden, but welcome, thundershowers. The evening was suddenly pleasant and the interactions with Lekha's family members turned out to be fruitful and helped us to update on each other.
Tailpiece.
Was spending an evening at Vazhuvelil House after what seemed to be a long time.
