We'd got up on the dot at 6, gone through our chores but I was late in getting ready for breakfast. Since the maid wasn't slated to come in today, because of her medical review, clothes that required washing was put into the washing machine and and hung on the clothing line for drying. She, however, had fetched up as her doctor had postponed his check up due to a bereavement in his family.
The plumber, Sanoj, was the first to arrive to assess the quantum of work and he had left soon after.
Meanwhile, Ashokan and Anil had fetched up and they continued with their work in the kitchen.
Reji, sent by the grandmother clock man, Tomy, reached by about a half past 9 to work on the clock and on completion, left soon after. He was given Rs.500/- as onward fare to Thriprayar - 18 km south, from here for his next schedule of work. Lekha and the maid went for their weekly 'darshan' of Guruvayurappan soon after.
Lijoy had come by about a quarter past 12 with the brass trappings of the 'puja room' buffed, as we'd asked him to do. Between him and Ashokan, they'd fitted up the accessories.
I'd gone on my first errand to send Lekha's LIC papers to Ajay Mathew, the manager of the Punalur branch for further action. He was informed of the same over the telephone, too. The Puthenpally post office now has a new BPM - Riya, in place of Usha - as helpful as her predecessor! Meanwhile, had given our passports for scanning at the internet cafe which had scanned them and sent their efforts to my mail ID as I'd directed. The final piece of work was at the ATM close by.
In the evening, there was a sudden requirement of going across to the ABT parcel service to give an impetus to the consignment of the diaries for the Foundation. It was required as Maman was expected to go to New Delhi shortly! The job was done and I'd returned home much before sunset!
It was a quiet evening thereafter!
Tailpiece.
News comes of yet another woman - a Sri Lankan, this time - who has entered the sanctum sanctorum of the Sabarimala shrine today. She'd also covered herself from head to toe in a black cloth and escorted by the Kannur lobby of policemen who are known to be loyal to the chief minister and his party! What a shame? The clandestine ways of the government, claiming to have facilitated women's entry into the shrine.
