The day had begun at 4 as we went through our chores and had hit the road by a trifle after 6. I didn't quite like the pitter patter rain that persisted as I got into the Chevy and opened/passed through the two gates. I'd made up my mind to go on the NH 17, though it was potholed all over because I'd seen the Youth Congress guys agitating at the Paliyekkara toll to bring down hiked rates on the news, last evening. There was no point in taking chances.
We reached Oottupura at Panampilli Nagar by a 20' past 8. After a quick breakfast and we're off to Shenoy Care and reached there by a quarter past 9. We could meet the doctor by about a half past 11. This time, Lekha had three things to tell the doctor viz.:-
(a) Her Haemoglobin has come down to 10. Was it because of our extensive travel and attending
functions, all through the last month?
(b) The fall that she had, two evenings back, was giving her discomfort but there were no
visible bruises.
(c) The frequent pain on her left knee.
After a thorough examination and going through the path lab results, the doctor had put us at ease and has put her under observation. The next visit is on 05 Dec.
We, then, made a quick detour to the naval canteen only to find it locked for the day and decided to revisit on Thursday when we'd be down to attend a function. Had the buffet at a place in Panampilli nagar, which was nice. I'd decided to take the Aluva route for our return but the wait at Idappalli was for almost 45'! The crowds visiting the Lulu Mall and those who're taking their ride on the Kochi Metro and their vehicles were the reason for the clog and some guys drove crazily!!
We reached 'The Quarterdeck' a few minutes before 5. It was another unpacking and washing process to be ready for the next outing.
The walk was nice and this evening, I'd walked it to the temple. had a 'darshan' of the Lord but the 'Ganesh Bakery', off the western gate of the temple, that sold the dosa batter and milk was closed. Had returned in an auto rickshaw as I felt lethargic!
Tailpiece.
1. Another hectic day, with calls and messages continuously pouring in on account of Onam. Felt nice.
2. What I'd observed at Padmanabha Shenoy's clinic. Everyone who came out of his consulting room had a smile on his/her face. When we're coming out after consulting him, I'd faltered on the leg of the chair on which I was sitting, prompting him to say, "Sir, don't fall here, you must take care". That caution brought a smile on to mine and Lekha's faces and we walked out". He has that personal touch with people....a true professional with a mark of greatness!
