1. A gated society!
We stay in a naturally formed enclave called the 'Warriath garden' that's smack beside the national highway, headed for Kozhikode. The traffic is heavy and continuous on the road, the sound decibels high but within the enclave, we've a serene atmosphere almost like being cut off from the world and where time stands still. As I'd said earlier, the vast expanse of greenery in front of 'The Quarterdeck' gives me the luxury of watching the rains!
But in this idyllic situation, we've been having 'trespassers' in the form of people visiting the eye clinic - situated right at the entrance to our enclave - making a racket on Tuesdays and Thursdays under the pretext of parking their vehicles. Despite repeated pleas to park their vehicles properly and to avoid littering the place, the menace continued and it had to be overcome. After quite a few days of pondering over the problem, today saw the fixing up of an iron wicket gate to control the ingress and egress to/from our enclave.
By doing so, the people coming to the clinic will have no other option but to park their vehicles on the sides of the main road itself! If anyone were to ask me, it's a lack of application on the siting of the clinic - the proprietor should have catered for adequate parking space which is a pre-requisite for such ventures.
2. Medical bulletins.
Suresh has been shifted into the ward from the ICU. He seems to be on the road to recovery and the doctor has said that he'll have to remain in hospital for a week from now. He has three tubes connected to himself - one for providing fluids and two for the wounds on the leg. He's happy to be able to meet people all over again!
Radhan chettan, on the other hand, has been lying with his eyes closed since last night and the doctor, according to chechi, has not been quite forthcoming!
Tailpiece.
Another month without mom. Life has been tough. Today, it's the 60th anniversary of the birth of Kerala. The government could have made this free of controversies by inviting the Governor and the former chief ministers!
PS.
A small kid asked his mom, "Mom, how do you always know how to solve my problems? Mom replied, "Well, you know, God makes us take an exam to be able to know and solve all your problems before we become mummy. Only when we pass the test we become mom!"
The kid gave a knowing smile and said, "I understand, if you fail in the test you become daddy!"
