We'd kicked off for dad's house by 10 o'clock. The heavy traffic on the road belied the fact that it was a holiday. The drive was okay and I'd planned something later about which the others were unaware of and for that to happen, we'd to reach Ambalapuzha at a reasonable time.
Since it had to happen, we did reach the place at the desired time of a half past 3. We'd a drive around the temple with mom giving us a running commentary of her childhood days and favourite haunts. I could show the school, newly named after my grandfather. And then pressed the doorbell of Maachamma chechi's house and mom had erupted in ecstasy - if I were to use an expression to express the prevalent mood and expression.
The next one hour or so shall be one of the finest moments of my life as an equally excited Maachmma chechi and mom exchanged their thoughts and feelings for each other. Anecdote after anecdote was revisited regarding their good old days at Ambalapuzha.
Their collective excitement and happiness in each other's company was the finest hour.
Tailpiece.
A day of many, many Kodak moments! And soon it was time for the farewells when they kissed each other ardently. It took us another two hours to reach our house where my kid sister and family were waiting. And it was yakkitiyak yet again!
