Closing ceremony of the Vaayana Maasam 2025!

Got up around a half past 2, washed up, recited my prayers, turned off to sleep yet again to get up at a 20' past 5. Sent all the morning messages. Got up at a quarter past 6, the chores and was ready by a quarter past 8. A "vedi vazhipaadu" at the devi temple close to the Mangattukadavu bridge. We, then, went to the Hanuman temple and had a nice darshan of the good Lord.

Off to Minister GR Anil's house and we met him first. Maman could get his work done in that the minister would be participating in the ''Vaayana sadassu'' with the 'thozhil sthreekal' of his constituency. We'd actually spoken to the MLA of his neighbouring constituency, who was very enthusiastic in the beginning and then, he refused to return our calls. So, this morning's session has checkmated the idiot! Probably, he was being fed wrong inputs by someone inimical toward the Foundation! 

But if he's a progressive and a positive MLA, he should have risen above pettiness!!

We'd breakfast from the Padma Cafe and then picked up Vijayakumar sir, the quiz master to head straight back to the Foundation. Ironed out certain things and helped the quiz to get going. And it went off beautifully, without any hiccups, any controversy. 

Lunch was from outside which was nice!

Siesta.

Off to the Bharat Bhavan by a half past 3, set the stage for the Closing Ceremony of the 25th Vaayana Maasam. Minister Dr R Bindu was the chief guest, with Pannian Ravindran, Murukan Kattakkada, Pramod Payyannur. Maman gave the Opening Address and I, the Vote of Thanks.

A quiet evening thereafter!
