The day had begun at 6. Lekha was in a bad shape still and I really felt guilty at having to leave her with her sister with a persisting cough. George came, along with Murali, our chauffeur for the trip, a trifle after 8 because of a death in his family. Mini was all set to move. We, finally, set off at a half past 8 - as I'd let Lekha to get ready at her own pace - and took the NH 17 and for a change, had breakfast enroute.
The journey was uneventful but the lasting remembrance of the trip shall be Lekha's coughing that rang through every now and then. I, too, complimented her at times if that was of any comfort! We reached Letha's place, had a quick lunch and asked Murali to drop us at the bus stand where Mini had taken off for Kollam and me, to Thiruvananthapuram.
Reached the Foundation by a half past 5 and quickly got into work along with the others. It was a late evening but most of the nitty gritties were tied up as we headed for home, late in the evening. We'd also seen the flagging off venue at the Maanaveeyam Road, where the work of erecting the necessary pandals were on.
Tailpiece.
The next 33 days are gonna be hectic and what I look forward to is the interaction with the people.
