Off to the Foundation and then to the Music Academy. The auditorium was the venue of the PN Panicker Vaayana Maasam Quiz for the Thiruvananthapuram district. Manoj, a member of the office staff, helped me through the difficulties and he was given 500/- at the end of it.
The three supporting teachers, Usha Rani, Manju and Dhanya rehashed the format and I went along with their suggestions. It went off very well though the 1st (Devika Manoj) got 27/50 while the 2nd (Madhav Krishna) got 25/50 and the both of them form Team Thiruvananthapuram for the state-level quiz competition scheduled at the Bharat Bhavan on 18 Jul at 1000 hrs. Distributed the certificates to all participants.
Many of the parents came and congratulated my performance as the Quiz Master!
Lunch was served by Girija at the Foundation. Tried a bit of siesta but to no success.
On the 24th day of the 'Sargasaayaahnam', it was a cultural offering by the Thikkurissi Saamskaarika Vedi which went on till 7 in the evening! Told the audience about my tryst with Thikkurissi Sukumaran Nair, when I was around 4 yrs!
He was our neighbour behind the TC/804. The bathroom and the toilet were away from the house during those days. We'd a huge copper vessel (Kuttakam) to boil water for bath for the elders. One day, this vessel went missing and the matter was reported to the Thycaud Police Station. After two days, the culprit was nabbed and the vessel was found in a sack near Thikkurissi's compond. I remember Thikkurissi telling Muthachchan and Ammachi that he'd nothing to do with it and they'd a hearty laugh over the matter!
Maman went back early; returned on Chambu's scooter
A quiet evening thereafter!
