We'd got up half an hour late compared to our usual time because of the late night. We, then, went about our chores and were ready well in time but not before apologising to Padmakumar for missing his birthday - by the Malayalam calendar - yesterday. It was a bad miss!
After a week's routine, the workers were not there today! Rema's neighbours, Babita, Pravin and Babita's mom had fetched up on their way to the Guruvayur temple. They spent close to an hour with us. The rest of the work had carried on as usual, with Preetha cleaning up the carpentry waste of the week and consigning it to the flames.
I'd driven my Chevy to the petrol bunk, nearby, to check the tyre pressure because the air in the left, aft was really less.
At about 1430 hrs, Reji had come by to refix the grandmother clock. One of the ratchet teeth had bent during the transportation and he had rectified it and stayed on with me for about half an hour to ensure that the clock was running without glitches. In the meanwhile, Sanoj, the plumber had come by to take on his work along with a few that I'd identified over the last few days.
By the time he'd finished his work, it was tea time and therefore, there was no question of having a siesta!
It was a quiet evening thereafter!
Tailpiece.
The more I see Rahul Gandhi spewing venom and using falsehoods and innuendos to intimidate his opponents I wonder what the quality of today's youngsters is, who've joined politics. Of course, at 50, he's no more young and can only be considered so in a comparative sense but has a mental capability of not more than a 10 year old child - the children might get offended by my statement because many of them have far greater capabilities.
