Got up at a quarter to 1, washed up, recited my prayers, turned off to sleep yet again to get up at around a 10' past 5. Sent off all the morning messages. Slept again and got up at a half past 6. The chores and was ready by a half past 8.
Off to the Foundation and on the arrival of Sukumaran sir, the joint secretary of the Gandhi Smaraka Nidhi, the three of us went to St Agustine Higher Secondary School at Murukkumpuzha, which was tied up by Rajendran.
The school has a strength of 152, has a good set of teachers children from a very poor section of society. They were glad to see the son and grandson of PN Panicker to spend the forenoon with them!
Maman gave a speech and exhorted them to start a vegetable garden at the earliest and they have decided to have a go at the idea before the 29th when the education minister is slated to visit the school. Later, we went across to the library begun by Murukkumpuzha Rajendran, a close worker with Muthachchan during the literacy movement!
We gifted Muthachchan's framed photograph to the library. They gave us a glass of lemon juice!
Had lunch at 3! No chance of a siesta.
Went across to Poojappura for the 27th day of Sargasaayaahnam 2025 which saw Thirumala Sivankutty who spoke on "Reading : in the modern context". It was a nice interaction. Also met Achuthan Nair from Palakkad, who had worked with Muthachchan.
Dropped the guest speaker at the Krishna Pillai Foundation, Palayam, pulled out money from the atm enroute, dropped Gracias, Sudha ma'am.
A quiet evening at home thereafter.
