Another collage of thoughts as there were quite a few but significant things that had happened today and so, here, I go:-
(a) Rains have come in right earnest.
After the hesitation, the rains have been on in right earnest. From what was experienced over the last
month, the pre-monsoon showers had mysteriously kept away from most of northern Kerala while it
was active in the southern stretch. Well, from this morning, things have changed and the meteorological
department has forecast heavy showers over the next four days. Thankfully, the intensity of the heat has
come down drastically and the cool whiff of air was very soothing. The newly surfaced road track in front
of my house has been a boon and timely laid! .....The losses in the state, due to the thunder showers have
been heavy.
May the spate of rains continue but hope that there would be no more damages.
(b) An eventful one year.
The poly clinic, for the ex-servicemen out here, was celebrating its first anniversary today. Me and my
neighbour were there at the appointed hour as we'd been invited by the Director of the clinic. And it
so happens that all the three of us were from the same school and clicked for posterity on the occasion.
The clinic has grown significantly by adding on quite a lot of additional facilities thanks to the dynamism
and the dedication of the Director and his staff.
May the organisation be a boon for all the ex-servicemen dependent on it for their medical cover.
(c) A case of telepathy?
I'd, after dropping my neighbour at his residence, proceeded to run quite a few errands that were
awaiting accomplishment all this while thanks to my tardiness. One among them was the reservation
for our trip to Nagpur and back, towards the third week of the month. Soon after I'd reached home,
my friend had called up from Nagpur to confirm about our attendance. How did he know that I'd just
done the reservations? Was it telepathy, in play? He was, however, lamenting about the poor response
from the other course mates of our Squadron.
May there be more of our course mates attending the do, I'm gonna prod them into attending!
(d) Singin' in the rain.
The evening rains put my plans for the customary walk in tatters. I'd substituted it by exercising on the
walker and after the work out schedule, it's great to sit at the balcony watching the rains, gently rocking
on my favourite chair. Time well spent.
May there be many more occasions, like today's, to enjoy nature.
Tailpiece.
It was a pleasure to meet up with many of the veterans at the official function this morning. Yes, time had eroded their 'beauty' but not their resilience, not their grit and not their sense of humour!
