Finally, Lekha meets the doctor.

Had got up on the dot at 6, gone through our chores and were ready well in time. Today, also found that the 'Kappa TV' channel gives old melodies between 8 and 9 AM which is much better than the songs broadcast by the Surya Music channel. Moreover, the VJs are smarter!

After breakfast, had gone to Preethi's stationery shop nearby to get a few documents xeroxed and to buy plain sheets of white paper and an A4 cover. I returned, formulated my reply, got the enclosures in order and had the letter ready, which I took to the post office to have it sent by speed post. This is the latest piece of correspondence on mom and dad's lifetime arrears. Hope there's no more delay on that front.

Around 1500 hrs, Lekha and Preetha had gone across to Dr. Sodhi's clinic nearby to treat her cough that has been lingering for a while. They'd returned by 5 after collecting the medicines prescribed by the doctor. She'd an anti-allergic drug prescribed by her Rheumatologist doctor, Padmanabha Shenoy about ten days back but the cough was, still, lingering on a low ebb. Consequently, Preetha had left for her house correspondingly late!


Tailpiece.

Nose of one plane collided with the other's tail when close quarter maneuvers being carried out by the Surya Kiran Aerobatic Team in nine Hawk Mk 132 aircraft. The mishap took place, at Bangalore around 1105 hrs, this morning during a practice sortie for the 12th edition of Aero India. The casualties are as follows:-

     (a) Wing Commander Sahil Gandhi        -    fatal.
     (b) Wing Commander Vijay Shelke        -    cut injury on chin. Blunt injury to limb. No fracture. Is
                                                                           Hemodynamically stable.
     (c) Wing Commander Tejeshwar Singh  -    Fractured shaft of Femur, both legs.

RIP Wing Commander Sahil Gandhi. My salute, tears and prayers. May your family have the strength to tide over these stressful times. Get well soon, Vijay Shelke and Tejeshwar Singh, we're proud of you.

PS.
Got an intimation from the Geeyem Motors that our Chevy was ready and that I could collect the vehicle by 10 AM tomorrow; Vineesh has agreed to come along to drive the vehicle back!
