We'd got up about 20' after the alarm but had gone through our chores with gusto and were ready well in time. The walk and the prayers had gone off well and I'd my morning cuppa by 8. It was before going for my bath that I realised that the geyser had again gone blink.
It was our maid, Preetha's birthday and we wished her many happy returns on arrival. Lekha had given special instructions to make a 'high lunch' with 'parippum pappadavum' and 'paayasam'! Selvam, who'd come by for pressing the clothes also partook the goodies.
On inquiry about his son, Raja's tryst with Pandian, his would-be-employer at Pondicherry, his reply was, "Sir, when my son was asked as to how much pay he would like to get, the boy was taken by surprise and had timidly answered that he would be satisfied with Rs.9,000/-!" I was amused and told him to tell his son that since he was an engineer, he could seek a higher remuneration.
Xavier and his mate came by about a half past 12 but the power interruption prevented them from embarking on their work and consequently, had to return. The power had returned only by about 1800 hrs!
Lekha's cough seems to be persistent and it needs to be tackled at the earliest before it shows a tendency to intensify. She meets Padmanabha Shenoy on Thursday who should prescribe the antidote. Such situations are always a cause for worry!
Tailpiece.
The Supreme Court has cleared the interrogation of Calcutta's Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar by the CBI at Shillong, a neutral territory. Mamata Banerjee has claimed it as a moral victory, wonder how? She has got her head off the self applied noose by calling off the 'dharna'.
