Got up at 3, thanks to Lekha's cellphone alarm, the chores and was ready by 5. As we cast off, Sunita, Pabda, Maimur and Vipul gave us a warm send off.
Reached the Netaji Subhash Airport, used the 'digi yatra' app and got an earlier access and was warned at check in counter that we shouldn't be late! Arvind was the boy who'd helped us with Lekha's wheel chair and the formalities were completed in a jiffy.
At Bangalore - the transit halt - it was Vimal at the Arrivals and Narinder were the youngsters that helped Lekha's hassle-free movement. Our flight to Kochi took off half an hour late because the crew was late! The cute, young Anjana was quite sorry for keeping us waiting! Damn sweet of her.
We reached Kochi by 1, Lekha, Vimal - the wheelchair assistant - a cup of coffee - before Sajish had picked us up. Lunch at the nearby Saravana Hotel.
Reached The Quarterdeck by a half past 3. Lekha was in bad shape because of the cold that got transferred from me and mine seems to have subsided!
Unpacking of the luggage, segregating the clothes for drycleaning and washing, opening up of the house carried out in quick succession.
Hoisted the Christmas star! Heard the last of the Christmas Carols!
