We'd got a call from the clinic as to whether we could be there by 9 in the morning and I said, "Why not?" Accordingly, we'd fetched up at the clinic on the dot. We went through the registration formalities and occupied two seats at the vantage point. The doctor fetched up by 10, after visits to his patients in other hospitals. After an hour long wait, when one of his juniors had a detailed check up of Lekha, we could meet the doctor.
Pleasant and happy to see us, we exchanged pleasantries and I'd pulled his leg saying that he was slowly attaining cult status because he's continuously being shown on the closed circuit television monitors, delivering speeches on lecture circuits, seminars - a la godman! Lekha's medical condition has been certified satisfactory and he made her day by saying that she's lost weight since he met her last quarter!!.......We're out of the clinic by a half past 11.
And, then, we headed for picking up our monthly stock of grocery from our canteen. It was there that we met Rita Thettayil, the wife of a colleague and senior when I was posted at the Command Headquarters as one of the staff officers in the training division. Wasn't she thrilled to see us? Came to know that she stays close to us at Angamaly, enroute to the Kochi airport. Also met Cdr Idiculla Jose sir who's fond of me.
After about an hour out there, we'd returned to Jojy's house where Saly provided us with an exquisite lunch. Their grand daughter, Shanaya, didn't want us to go. She'd returned from school around a half past 12.
The drive to Palakkad - 165 km - was nice and the traffic, manageable. The evening tea was at the wayside restaurant-cum-nursery at Mannuthy. We reached my sister's house by 5.
Tailpiece.
A quiet evening and we'd be off for Guruvayur, with mom, tomorrow after breakfast!
