Back at The Quarterdeck!

Got up at a half past 3, went round the corner, sleep wasn't forthcoming and therefore had washed up, recited my prayers, turned off to sleep yet again and got up at a 20' past 5 thanks to the alarm. The chores and was ready by much before 8.

Monish came well past 9, helped in loading the luggage and because of Lekha's pressure, took in Govind's luggage though I wanted him to come and collect it from Raj Nivas, simply because he was audacious to want it at Anandan chittappan's house!

The caretaker was there, spoke to my parents and cast of around a half past 9, through slight rain. 'Matha thekoed' at the Nagarajaavu temple at Randaalummoodu as is my wont. Topped up the Chevy with fuel and checked tyre pressure. We were finally on our way to Guruvayur much after 10; encountered rain in the initial stages. 

Lunch was at Kaladi but Monish didn't have it and just had tea and snack both in the morning and in the evening. Reached Guruvayur by 4; Lekha had bought grocery, fruits and we reached The Quarterdeck after 33 days!

Opened up the house, keyed up the grandfather clock, got the puja room ready. We lit the lamp at sunset and Lekha recited the Ramayanam.

A quiet evening thereafter!

Nice to be back home!!
