Meanwhile, Mithun had spoken to the doctor and got his clarifications. Sanil was discharged by about a half past 1 as all his vital parameters were within acceptable limits. They set off for home around a half past 2.
We'd set off from home and gone across to Padmakumar's house. Rema gave us lunch, I talked to Ramachandrettan and Bharathi chechi and we left for Ayur by a half past 2. On reaching our destination, it was nice to see a topless Sanil inspecting his 'budding' efforts on the mango tree at his courtyard, much to our pleasant surprise!
It was yakkittiyak and exchange of thoughts from then on. Yesterday was Sanil-Mini's 30th wedding anniversary and the cake that was ordered was brought in by teatime and the ceremonial cake cutting was carried out. The cake distribution and photography ensued, making it an enthusiastic and impromptu get together.
The chairs, tables and the pandal were removed and passed on to the proprietor. The things in the house were collected and stacked up safely in one of the rooms. Told Sanil, Mini and Mithun about the additions & alterations required in the house, that were to be made good by the contractor, at no extra cost during the one month period when they'll complete the remaining work.
We left Anjanam about a half an hour before sunset and I'd taken the Pooyappalli-Veliyam short cut to Kottarakkara and headed straight for the regular petrol pump to top up the Chevy and check tyre pressure. Lekha and Padmakumar had picked up our dinner in the meanwhile.
Dropped Rema and Padmakumar at Pidavoor and reached home by a quarter past 8.
It was our usual chores of the evening that followed and we'd a late dinner. 'Lights out' time was at a half past 11.
Tailpiece.
Sanil, Mini and Mithun will kick off for Bangalore tomorrow morning. We've, therefore, decided to return to Guruvayur by early morning, the after.
