At Kozhikode.

The day had begun at 4 when we went through our chores and set off on our long journey to Kozhikode. Hit a dirt road short of Pathanapuram, which saw my Chevy taking a hard thump below. The rest of the journey went off like a song, with breakfast at our favourite place and we reached my friend, Jojy's place before 10. After half an hour's stretching out we're off to Kozhikode in Jojy's Corolla Altis. The coastal highway was narrow at stretches with the accompaniment of many errant motorists. The saving grace was that the traffic was sparse being a Sunday and it also happened to be a day prior to elections!

We reached the town by 4 and quickly checked into the hotel where our friend had booked us. A couple of hours' rest and we're at the venue of the pre wedding reception of Pooja and Ashwin. Yedu and Raji made the occasion quite memorable for Lekha and me by announcing that 16th May was our silver wedding anniversary, made us cut a cake on stage, consequently, making us the cynosure of everyone's eyes and the audience sportingly egged us on, at least, with my awkward actions!

What made it more special was that there was a sizeable number of our classmates for the function.


Tailpiece.

A great evening and felt glad that we did make it, despite hiccups.
