While at the NDA, we cadets used to look forward to D-6(Day 6 of a training cycle of 12 working days) because that day did not have outdoors. So, we put on our working rig in the morning and proceeded for academics, giving us ample time to have a liesurely breakfast. Tucking in as many toasts as possible was a cadet's cherished activity and to have an indulgent butler like Baalam(God bless his soul!) was an added advantage for me. He was fond of me. Period!
Using that analogy, today was a flat day with me doing nothing, almost. Lekha and Mini had gone to the Ganapati kshetram and there was a consequent flood of the 'prasadam' that was given away to those who'd dropped by at our place.
The next phase of work has been planned for execution which will involve scouting for saplings of rubber, teak and coconut. On ascertaining the reasonability of price, a firm order has to be placed for the bulk consignment to ensure its availability by the second week of June after the onset of monsoons. The planting and administration of the appropriate fertilisers will complete the process. The caretaker and I've put the process in motion.
Late afternoon saw rains and it was during this period that Indira chechi, Kamalamma chechi and Thulasi had dropped by in quick succession. The first is my cousin who's my senior. She's worried about the fact that her son, aged 39 and daughter, aged 32 have not settled down as yet in life despite the fact that they're professionally well off. The second is all of 80 years, quite active and was recounting her recent trip to a string of south Indian temples. The third, Thulasi, our neighbour staying opposite, was emphatic that the results, tomorrow, will bring the LDF to power.
Tailpiece.
Tomorrow morning we will be going to the Mannarassala temple and we plan to leave by a half past 6. Will call on Padmakumar's mother on return and drop by at a nearby house to convey our inability to attend their daughter's wedding on the 26th.
