My take

The tendency for unemployment to reduce is definitely a good sign. It means that the government is providing employment opportunities!

Tailpiece.

Got up at a half past 5, sent my morning messages, switched on the hymns on the home theatre, lit the puja room lamp and opened up the house for the day.

Sent the photograph of Lekha's wound, at her feet, to the doctor and he gave us an appointment at 2 PM.

Accordingly, we fetched up at the Elite Mission Hospital at a 10' to 2.

The wound has been cleared off the yellow membrane and it's attained a reddish hue.

Lekha would, now, be at reduced movements for the next five days.
