Had got up on the dot at 6, went through the chores and the tea brought by the caretaker was bang on time. The figure-of-8-walk and the recital of prayers were executed. Raj Nivas was progressively shut down and we'd set off for Thiruvananthapuram a trifle after 10. We'd detoured to Letha's place to shift the fruits to an open space, in her house, to avoid keeping them in the closed confines of the boot for the next two days of our halt in connection with the school old boys' day.
It was pouring during the entire day and the weather continued in the same outlook through the entire stretch of our drive. We headed straight for Lekha's appachi's(Bua) place but it turned out that she was gone out of the house on personal errands. So, it was off to Indira kunjamma's(Ma'asi) house where we were given a scrumptious lunch.
Soon after, we set off for Suma kunjamma's house as we'd to look up her newly born grandchild with Lekshmi and Madhav in tow. It was a nice visit though my aunt had expressed her displeasure at our missing tomorrow's party at the Trivandrum Club in connection with li'l Ayaan's thread ceremony, at the beginning. We, then, waited till 4 to see Vani and li'l Nayana come back from school and returned to Indira kunjamma's house as Lekshmi had to catch a bus to Pondicherry by 6. Rema was going to spend the evening at Padmakumar's niece, Mini's house at Kesavadasapuram and they were dropped by my cousin, Reshmi.
We'd gone back to Lekha's appachi's place and this time were able to meet up with her and wasn't she thrilled, while insisting upon us to spend the evening out there? We were looking her up after Ammavan's passing away and she gave us a lot of interesting anecdotes during the course of our brief stay with her.
We reached Suresh Laxman's place after sunset around a 20' to 6. After a wash and change, we'd settled down to a quiet evening with Vijayakumar and Anitha joining us. The next two days' programme has been chalked out and as usual, I've botched up on the dates and consequently, we'll have to stay another additional day out here.
Tailpiece.
Got a feedback from Maman about his Delhi trip and the Reading Day celebrations at the Vigyan Bhavan on the 19th.
