The sound and fury of electioneering ended this evening. The numerous announcements, parodies of film songs and the unending movements of different vehicles will be missed by everyone, I'm sure. From whatever sloganeering that I'd heard, negativity and hurling of abuses at the opponents were not resorted to by any of the candidates.
The JCB man had begun his work at 9 and today, he'd come for work without his assistant. He wrapped up his work, pocketed his 141/2 grand and had left after about an hour's efforts giving his cell number in case we required his services again. Sajeev, being the owner and the handler of the metallic behemoth, worked to our advantage.
The painting team was reduced to just the leader, Vijayan, who happens to be Sanil's classmate till class X. He was not particularly enamoured by studies, he said in his chatacteristic low yet modulated voice when I'd queried him. Both his daughters are married while he's into painting work. He's a good artist too. His helpers had found the commuting a bit too long and hence, their absence. Vijayan had announced that he'd finish the job by tomorrow. What was nice was that Sanil had also joined him as helper and between them, relived their school going days!
My cousin, Gopu who works for the Chalachithra Academy had announced his arrival in the day. He'd come alongwith three of his colleagues to join Ganesh Kumar in the last lap of his electioneering. His promise of dropping by at Raj Nivas, in between, remained a promise.
It was pitter patter once again after 2 in the afternoon. Thankfully, the paint work wasn't affected but its absence would have been ideal.
Tailpiece.
Sanil and Mini gifted us a nice, classy plaque on the occasion of our 25th wedding anniversary that falls on the 16th. It was gifted this evening as we're setting off for Kozhikode early morning tomorrow to attend a classmate's daughter's wedding and will return only by late evening, the day after.
