Lekha and Mini had wanted to visit the snake temple of Mannarassala at Kayankulam, 70 kms away. We'd got up at 4 and set off before 6. I'd taken an alternate route to save my Chevy's undercarriage from hitting heavy dirt at a particular spot of ongoing roadwork on the usual route. Must have fumbled at one of the turns because I found that we're headed the wrong direction. Ten minutes later and after traversing an additional 10 kms, we're headed correctly towards our destination.
The crowd was very less at the temple because it was a working day and also because of the coverage of the election results and hence, had a good 'darshan' of the deities both at the Karthikeya temple and at Mannaarassala. After a nice breakfast at the devaswom canteen, we'd headed back. The unseated liner beneath the bumper was fastened properly at the Chevy's service center enroute.
We reached Padmakumar's mother a trifle after 11. The poor thing had a bad cold and she was watching the television. The LDF was heading for a spectacular victory. After spending about an hour out there, we headed home to a sumptuous lunch. We also saw two women pulling out the weeds from the front lawns. They're neither arranged by the caretaker nor by me and it was then that mom had said that it was of her doing and had forgotten to inform me!
Kochikka and Kunjikutty, in their mid 60s, were talkative but efficient in what they're doing. Kochikka is extremely talented and sang a couple of folk songs for my benefit. I must put her on to the library's secretary for deploying her on entertainment activities on special occasions!
Tailpiece.
A crisp call on Venu and Mallika, after teatime, to hand over a small gift to their daughter who was getting married on the 26th and to convey our regrets about our no show completed the day's commitments!
