My tryst with Kottayam.

Had got up at a 20' past 5, sent all the morning messages, switched on the morning hymns, lit up the puja room lamp, opened up the house. Went about my chores and was ready by a half past 9 and Kannan came by just then. We kicked off for Ettumanoor soon after.

It was rains all the way. had tea and snack short of Potta. Lunch was at Muvattupuzha at 2. Before that, could get the PUC certification done at Kalady!

Reached Ettumanoor at a half past 3, it was tricky to find the Nandavanam auditorium. Met Aravi maman, Radha mami, Rajan maman, Jagada mami, Renjith and his family. Renjith's son, Jagan is joining IIT, Dharwar on the 29th, the first to do so from our family.

Our programme started a half an hour late. Aniyan, too, was called on to the stage by both PGM and Rajeev, to impress me perhaps! Kept my inaugural speech to the minimum. Distribution of the prizes was an added responsibility! After the program and after bidding adieu to everyone, Aniyan took me to Ettumanoorappan and I'd a nice darshan of the good Lord.

So, the curtains were drawn on the Kottayam district 'Vaayana Maasaacharanam activities 2025' by 6. 

We'd our evening snack and tea at the corner shop. Saw Aniyan off and I returned for Guruvayur. Dinner was at Chalakkudi around a quarter past 9.

Reached home by a half past 11. A nice, short trip that I enjoyed.
