The nearby temple's annual festivities.

We'd got up a bit groggy as our sleep was delayed last night by about half an hour because of the television programme. Quickly got around our chores and was ready on time. The walk was nice and I still wonder as to why people have told me not do strenuous exercises because sweating was a big 'no-no'. Recited my prayers along with it.

Lekha, along with Preetha, had then gone for their usual Thursday 'darshan' of Guruvayurappan. The monthly water bill was paid and the medicines, that I wasn't using anymore and still in date, were returned. And no, the Medicare guys did not offer anything instead which was strange!

Had a long chat with Aniyan who, along with Usha Ammayi, is going to Thiruvananthapuram to attend Vichani kunjamma's 'sanchayanam' on Friday. They will be returning immediately after to go to the Mookaambika temple for li'l Prarthana's first tryst with the three 'R's viz. Reading, (w)Riting and (a)'rithmetic! It's indeed a long journey for ammayi after her recent hospitalisation!

The Thamarayoor Devi temple celebrates its annual festivities today; the long procession, associated with the celebrations, had passed through the highway near our house in the evening, before sunset. The programme continued till the wee hours of the morning.


Tailpiece.

1. The press - both print and visual - had gone ga-ga over Priyanka gandhi's induction into active politics which surprises a layman like me because I was always under the impression that she was never away from it anytime! She seems more capable than her brother, her obnoxious husband notwithstanding!

2. The ABP-Republic-C Voter surveys predict a hung parliament if elections were to be held now. There's still more time left for the elections and plenty of happenings to take place!
