My take
We need to increase our efforts in expanding the digital literacy footprint in the state.
Tailpiece.
Got up at our usual time, the chores and opened up the house for the day. Made a faux pas regarding switching on the music (the hymns) on the home theatre.
No walk outside because of rains. Instead, walked within the house and recited my prayers.
Breakfast.
A delayed bath as the 'khalifa', Sajeesh couldn't fetch up on time.
The maid was at work.
The evening chores.
