A comparatively quiet day!

Got up around a quarter past 2, washed up and recited my prayers. Turned off to sleep once again.

Was again up at 6, the chores and had a leisurely grooming as it was a rest day, today.

Breakfast at 9 and it was yakkittiyak, all the way.

Resmi, my cousin, has got her leave and set off for New York to be in time for Kripa-shankar's convocation. She's going by the Air India flight.

Lunch.

Watched television for a while, followed by siesta.

Earlier, all of us had decided to go to Mannaarassaala, the Nagaraja temple, tomorrow. Mathai will chauffeur us, again! Rema is also accompanying us but not Padmakumar as there would be people working in his farm.

Ansuiya had rung up from Goa, which was a pleasant surprise. Must help out Meera, her sister who's going through a rough patch in her marriage.

A quiet evening.

Tailpiece.

Arnab Goswami, through his television news channel, The Republic, has initiated a "Ban Turkey" movement because its President Erdogan had helped Pakistan in the recent flare up with India. The call is gathering momentum.........just how many days are left for Erdogan to tumble? Worth a wait and watch!
