We began from Kilimanoor at a half past 9 and entered Kollam district soon after. The panchayats that were in our itinerary of today were:-
(a) Nilamel.
(b) Anchal.
(c) Pooyappalli.
(d) Thrikkovilvattom and
(e) Kundara.
We'd skipped breakfast to be on time and the hunger began gnawing my innards much earlier than the usual lunch time. Vidya's mom and dad had come for the meeting at Anchal and it was nice to see them after a long time.
The strengths of people who attended the proceedings were average despite our co-ordinator, Jayachandran's sincere efforts. Wonder what was missing? There was a lack of enthusiasm and a communication gap that was glaring at Thrikkovilvattom! The apologetic faces of the panchayat president and her secretary did not reduce the bad taste in the mouth despite the fact that it had given us a scrumptious lunch!
The policemen's street play was performed at Thrikkovilvattom and Kundara.
The team was put up at the Hockey Stadium complex for the evening. It was sad to see the sports complex in a dilapidated state due to bad maintenance. Vijayan got lost enroute and was retrieved before any damage was done. He'd fallen out of the flock and lost his way giving me a few anxious moments. The three of us - maman, Chambu and I - were put up at the Rest House.
Manu was sent to drop Jayachandran back at his home in Chathannoor as we didn't want him to drive all by himself, especially because he'd reported about faulty vision.
Tailpiece.
My throat is bad and this morning, saw my right eye having a redness. Hope everything subsides at the earliest!
