Back at The Quarterdeck.

Our flight had touched down at Pune at about a 20' to midnight. Lekha had got the wheelchair assistance and the youngster who had come along with us was Mahadev Munde. Quite a helpful fella and thanks to him, Lekha and I were in the aircraft well in time.

The aircraft had taken off at the appointed time and we both dozed off almost immediately after take off. I had already passed on to Sajish, our sa'arthi, that we were arriving at Kochi on the dot. And that's exactly what we did, touched down at Kochi at 46' past 2. Jayaprakash, from Kottarakkara, was Lekha's wheelchair attendant this time.

We were on our way to Guruvayur within no time but not without having a cup of tea enroute. The drive was nice and our transit was uneventful.

No sooner that we got into the house, Kittu had come by and entered the house. After letting Lekha have a short sleep, I'd gone about lighting the lamp in the puja room, rewound the grandmother clock and set it in action and switched on the music.

Later on, there was pressure from Maman for me to be at Thiruvananthapuram tomorrow for the 'Iftaar' ceremony that we were hosting at the Foundation. 

Paulson gave me a feedback that I was first on the 'tatkal' wait list.

Helped Lekha water the plants in the evening.
