Setting things right!

Had got up around a half past 3 to clear the bladder when I heard the drip of water from the geyser and mind you, it was refitted overhead, only yesterday after repairs. I was damn angry with Xavier, the electrician, for the low quality of his work and consequently, sleep took a long time to return. Lekha had turned back to sleep after hearing the alarm on her cellphone and I deduced - rather stupidly - that it must have gone off at an earlier time that was meant for yesterday!

We'd hurriedly got up at a half past 6, gone through our chores as Rema was to be leaving for Palakkad before 8. We got our act together and both Rema and I went away to the road transport corporation bus stand for her to board the bus for Palakkad. The decision was arrived at earlier as the buses were anticipated to be crowded, around these times, because of school going children.

However, just as we reached the bus stand, Rema realised that she'd left her cellphone at home and so we came back to fetch it. Had then released the autorickshaw and we waited for the next bus - a fast passenger - that fetched up around a few minutes past 8 and my sister had reached her home, two and a half hours later. While standing at the bus stop, the security sentry at Ikka's house had asked me about my long absence from sight and I told him about my illness. He, too, has had medical problems in terms of high sugar and is undergoing medication. He looks weak but is trimmer than before!

Earlier, had called up Xavier to give him a piece of my mind about the shoddy job and he'd come soon after, identified the problem to be the leaking inlet tap and has promised to replace it later in the day. Reji had come by lunchtime, I'd to give a helping hand to remove the machine of the clock which he takes to Kochi for repairs/bringing another to refit into our Grandmother clock - it might take place sometime by the end of next week, as I see it.


Tailpiece.

A nixed noting of an MoD file was brandished by Rahul Gandhi, in a hurriedly called press conference in the evening, to say that it confirmed the involvement of the Prime Minister in the Rafael deal and called him a thief. Had the note been authentic, it should have in all probability be placed in Parliament where the party is seeking a JPC probe! The RM, herself, was on national television later on, pointing out the falsehood - the note written by the RM, towards the end, had been blanked out!

Does Rahul Gandhi's actions mirror the family's fear over the fact that the Enforcement Directorate is closing in on his brother-in-law, Robert Vadra's misdeeds through the interrogation that has been going on for the past three days?
