At Thiruvananthapuram.

Got up at 4, thanks to Lekha's cellphone alarm, the chores and was ready by a quarter past 5. But got into an untenable situation in that my suitcase couldn't be closed till I removed my pair of leather shoes. Got into Sukesh's auto rickshaw at a half past 5. Luckily there wasn't any queue to buy tickets and the cute young thing at the counter was more than helpful.

Sat in the train and recited my prayers. At Thrissur, got the details of my train but since the train had come early by half an hour and finally left half an hour later. Wonder why the local railway station authorities deliberately delayed it?

Had the breakfast packed by Lekha, soon after embarking on the train.

Befriended Meera Nair, aged 3, and she was quite friendly. She studies in KG II of the Christ Nagar school.

Reached the Foundation by 3, had lunch sent by Lekha.

A quiet evening thereafter! Had made the introduction for the guest speaker.
