It's time for Lekha's medical review at the AIMS, Kochi. The latest parameters of her blood and the effects of physiotherapy, over ten days, have been tabulated for her doctor's perusal. Armed with these, we'd set off from our house to my sister's place at Palakkad - a distance of almost a hundred km - soon after lunch.
The weather was bright and sunny and the traffic was not that heavy, despite it being a working day, wonder why? Driving through was sheer pleasure and we'd stopped at a wayside tea stall for a timely, hot cup of tea. These guys make it damn well and it's sheer pleasure to watch the tea maker make the 'one yarder'!
Mom seemed to be enjoying the drive, in between her naps, relishing the hot cup of tea and brightened up the vendor by her remark that she hadn't drunk such a good beverage for a long, long while. The schools had closed for the day and almost all the bus stops enroute were crowded with children, eagerly waiting to get back home and the private buses plying them were packing them into their innards like sardines.
And all too soon we'd reached the town where the main highway from Coimbatore was being augmented with a massive flyover belching dirt and muck all over. Work seems to be on a feverish pitch but one needs to keep one's fingers crossed regarding the estimated date of completion!
My sister had fetched up from her school by the time we'd reached their parking space. It's always nice to be back here as this place has its own charm. The catching up did take up the whole of the evening and into the night.
It's gonna be an early morning drive tomorrow to Kochi to keep up the appointment with Lekha's doctor.
Tailpiece.
Caught up with the day's news as I was keen to know of the outcome of the Scotland referendum! And it's nice to know that our Prime Minister did some tough talking with the Chinese President about the incursions on the LAC. Hope the results are palpable on the ground!
