We were watching the television and saw Salman Khan ringing in the new year at the stroke of midnight on the Sony Entertainment Television. After wishing each of us a happy new year and good tidings, Lekha and I had hit the sack by about a half past 12 but not before sending an sms to Commander Banjo, at London wishing him many happy returns. He'd called me around 2000 hrs to have a fairly long chat and Mrs Banerjee had also chipped in.
Savio, my doctor friend from Chicago had also called up to give solutions to my latest medical readings. His tips shall be followed in letter and spirit to get my SGOT/SGPT readings down to normal at the earliest. It was a fairly long chat and a very detailed analysis. Thanks dear friend, I couldn't have asked for anything more.
Lekha had prepared masala dosas for breakfast. Earlier, I'd recommenced my morning walk - duration was for about 15 minutes!
Lekha and her assistant had prepared lunch before the workers had entered the kitchen to commence their work on day 2. Their work has progressed as planned with the earlier innards of the foot lockers removed and the outer shell of the new arrangement put in place, by the end of the day. The water resistant resin coated plywood sheets should combat wetness and seepage - on account of the usage of the sink - for the years to come.
The lunch was nice but the afternoon siesta was in spurts with telephone calls and the loud clang-clanging of the carpenters' hammer and associated tools.
It was a quiet evening and there were calls from friends and relatives with goodwill messages and get well soon wishes. Saw our favourite programmes on television.
Tailpiece.
The 'vanitha mathil'(Women's wall) activity was on for half an hour and it was a show of strength of essentially, the CPI(M), though it was pronounced as government sponsored! As an independent observer, I'd the following queries and misgivings as explained below:-
(a) The wall was necessitated - as orchestrated by its organisers viz. the Pinarayi Vijayan
government - as its statement against the Sabarimala imbroglio. However, throughout the
evening's programme, nothing was uttered about the Sabarimala impasse.
(b) Is it bringing about a rift among the Hindus? A sort of divide between the upper caste and
lower caste Hindus, because such a situation becomes advantageous for the commies. They
do not care about the former, while projecting themselves as the champions of the latter despite
their appeasement of the minorities, sadly, at the lower caste Hindus' expense!
(c) What's more beguiling is that the SNDP head, Vellappilli Natesan, is hobnobbing with the
LDF fully aware of this fact. (His wife, indeed, made a statement that it rattles people like her
when people call them by their caste name. Some idiot had made a statement to that effect
about the chief minister, the other day!). He is kept in check by the Damocles' sword of his
'Micro finance corrupt activities' by Pinarayi and gang !
(d) It's the ugly face of the vote bank politics that the Hindu vote remains divided.
