We'd kicked off from our house by a quarter to 10. The first stop was at the nearest petrol pump to fuel the Chevy and check tyre pressure. And after handing over the soiled clothes at the dry cleaners, we shaped course for Kochi.
Murali and Radhika are our hosts for the day. We'd gone for the Malayalam movie, 'How old are you?' A comeback movie for Manju Warrier by Roshan Andrews. A nicely made movie which essays the story of a firebrand young lady during her student days, reduced to an unsure housewife adjusting to the diktats of her family. How she overcomes the situation is the crux.
My take.
Stories like this are common in our environment. It puzzles me when women accept being reduced to doormats. A successful marriage is the harmonious togetherness of two individuals with their personalities intact. Superiority or inferiority does not figure there.
Tailpiece.
It's a comparatively early evening. Earlier in the day I'd the privilege of interacting with K Venugopal and C Maniraj, my classmates from school. It wasn't planned and had happened just like that. And weren't I glad for that?
