It was a wet Sunday to begin with. Rains - and that too, heavy showers - had begun to fall in the wee hours of the morning. The normal chores were gone through and things were done in a leisurely manner!
My younger maman and his wife came by about a half past 2 and had a delayed lunch. They had brought a lot of stuff for us and we chided them for carrying heavy luggage. But it was damn sweet of them to have taken the trouble just for our sake! They left soon after tea as their daughter and her family had fetched up from Kozhikode and settled down at the 'Paanchajanyam' in connection with the 'first meal ceremony' of their li'l daughter, tomorrow - their shifting over to the temple complex was a change from their original programme of spending the night, here, with us.
I'd gone for my customary walk under a threat of rain which never fell, of course. Padmakumar, Rema and Achu drove in by about a half past 8. They'd started off from Pidavoor, visited a friend of their's at Alappuzha who was bereaved recently and looked up Suresh at the Amritha Institute before fetching up. It was a noisy evening, thereafter and we're filled in with the details.
Earlier, had spoken to Kurup kochachhan - a mandatory call every Sunday just to hear his voice as I tell him - and Reshmi, for an update on Suresh's, lest I'd to speak to Subbu for help!
Tailpiece.
All of us missed mom because, had she been there she'd have fussed over everything! Their stay was the first after her passing away and her strong presence was felt despite her absence!
