Lekha'd gifted her treasured golden anklets to Ammu. It's a wonderful gesture because, I'm aware of the following:-
* She used to wear the anklets on a continuous basis till about two years back and I must say
that they looked good on her..
* During Sep '10, when the SLE in her had perked up - a wound that was inflicted upon her, on
the right foot by the duty medical staff of the ICU while trying to pass infusions intravenously,
as she lay comatose in a reputed hospital at Kochi during Aug '93 - had flared up.
* Despite the wound, she'd sported the anklets as she loved wearing them.
* It was Dr. Padmanabha Shenoy, her doctor from '11, who'd advised her from wearing them and
since then, they were kept safely in the cupboard.
* Two grafts later, she'd realised that to wear them would unnecessarily exacerbate the by now
safely healed wound.
And today, she'd parted with her prized possession to my niece in view of the latter's forthcoming engagement and marriage! A good show, Lekha!! Not very many people can do such selfless acts and I'm proud of you.
Note. What saddened me most was that she'd willingly surrendered a dear wish, once for all, in this life of her's!

After passing on necessary instructions to her assistant, the entire gang had gone off to the Guruvayur temple, paid their obeisance to the good Lord and Lekha and Rema had shown the hall and the hotel rooms that we'd reserved for the engagement ceremony to Ammu and her parents. Soon after, they'd gone off to Kunnamkulam - about 9 kms north from our place - to complete the remainder of the shopping serial!
On return and after a quick lunch, they'd gone to see the movie, "Kattappanayile Hritwik Roshan" and had returned minutes before Suma Kunjamma, arrived from Thiruvananthapuram. Conversation flowed freely and after a boisterous dinner we'd a short rest to receive Padmakumar and Achu, who'd fetched up from Palakkad by about a half past 11.
The conversation continued.......Lekha seems to be down with a bad throat and that's been a nagging worry.
Tailpiece.
After seeing a decline in the WBC count during her last blood analysis and even though her doctor had said that there was nothing to worry, I've decided to go through her blood/urine analyses now and must call up the nearby path lab people to come and draw the samples on Monday.
