After the day's work, we're off to my home to be at my cousin, Kala's housewarming which is to take place tomorrow and we need to be at Kayamkulam for the purpose .
In the evening, my mom had got her refrigerator of 44 yrs exchanged with a new one. Actually, the old one had started giving her a lot of problems of late but she wouldn't agree to part with it saying that she'd a sentimental attachment with the piece! No amount of reasoning could persuade her until the stand on which it was perched gave way, last week!!
We'd reached home a trifle after sunset and though the journey was uneventful, the roads were in a pathetic state and driving was far from being enjoyable. While driving, one was careful to chart out an acceptable path for the vehicle to chug along, avoiding potholes to the extent feasible. The motorists crissed and crossed, and often came across perilously close to one another - honking madly and occasionally, losing their composure in the bargain!
Same old problem - the pathetic state of roads post monsoons! And mind you, this time the monsoons haven't been heavy. Whom does one whip, 'the contractor who made a fast buck getting the roads done last year' or the minister who's responsible for maintaining it?
Tailpiece.
Mahabali, the king who would be on his annual visit during Onam will have a tough time on his chariot. Or is he gonna come by a SUV, the acronym for a 'special utility vehicle'?
