Tailpiece.

Disembarked from the Bharat Gaurav train at Thrissur, at a 5' past 4. Sajish, the cab driver, helped us with our luggage. Had a cup of tea from a roadside vendor and I pulled out money from the ATM.

The maid had come by. Washing machinex twice to clear the bulk of the washing from the maid.

Today was my birthday vide the Malayalam calendar. Sadya, payasam were made and a cake was cut.
