The return.

After having supervised the renovation of the ancestral house, this morning we'd set off on our return. Though we'd planned to kick off by 7 AM, by the time we'd actually moved out it was almost an hour late. We've packed in a lot of activities in our itinerary.

The visit to the Mannarasala temple was the first. Actually, we'd been wanting to do it much earlier but something or the other prevented us from visiting the place all this while and we've been doing it, at least once, annually. It was fairly crowded being a Sunday but the 'darshan' was comparatively easy without much difficulty. I've always felt that time has stood still within the premises of the temple in the prevalent ambiance.

The drive onward was absolutely good and we're at our friends' place at Kottayam, in time for lunch, as had been planned earlier. It was 'catching up time' and in the process, we'd lost track of time discussing about various things.

Happened to see Vaikom Mohammed Bashir's classic on celluloid viz. 'Baalyakaala sakhi' - the childhood sweetheart. A great work and I really enjoyed every frame of the movie though I must add that the ending saddened me no end!

Lekha's medical review at the AIMS is on Tuesday. All the laboratory reports are in hand. And we'd be off to Kochi early morning tomorrow.


Tailpiece.

The grandfather clock is now only a couple of days away from being a prized possession!
