Into the last month of the year.

Had got up at our usual time, gone through the chores and were ready to browse the morning paper - Ramakrishnan, the newspaper boy was on the dot. The rest of the day meandered along with work being done at a leisurely pace.

The additional copy of the Chevy's insurance papers were delivered by the courier service and I'd put it into the wallet kept in the car, for the purpose and in the process, kept the engine running for a while.

Not much headway on the grandfather clock either as my cousin is yet to visit Tomy's shop. Better not to do it in haste!

Had a sound siesta as the lunch was heavier than usual.

The Tata Sky - Sony head off continues. Gireesh, the mechanic had promised a visit but it turned out to be a false alarm.


Tailpiece.

Congress' Mullappally Ramachandran's statements on the Kerala DGP's supposedly 'out-of-the-way-help', in his capacity as an official in the NIA, to Narendra Modi and Amit Shah in their cases - mind you, cleared by the top court more than once - is a pathetic pointer on his own character. The reasons are many and I'm just listing down a few of them:-

    (a) In his party, it's important to project that each of them is loyal to Rahul Gandhi always and
         every time.
    (b) So, this was his 'return gift' of having been made the leader of the KPCC!
    (c) The UPA government, while in power, knew as to how powerful an opponent would Modi
          be if he were to shift to New Delhi and so, during his 15 years as the CM of Gujarat, he was
          put through a lot of trials and tribulations!
    (d) This same case was flogged many a time to trap the duo but to no avail.
    (e) He has sounded it again to keep it alive during an election year!
    (f) And most importantly if he knew all this, "Why didn't he and his government take action, 
         then?" The bloody nincompoops!

But, then, these are the tactics of the political class and I thought that Mullappally was a different guy......but!
