We'd got up at 6 with the alarm, gone around our chores and Lekha was ready well in time, though I took a bit more of time. Earlier, we'd done the usual Wednesday 'aarathi' of the house. The walk and the prayers were over by about 8.
The breakfast of appams and stew was nice and had washed it down with a cup of Bournvita. I'd lost the taste towards the drink when the jaundice was at its zenith thanks to its proviso as a drink, on a daily basis at the hospital and for some unknown reason, I used to detest its smell too!
Lekha. along with Preetha, had gone over to the Mammiyoor Siva kshethram as is their wont on Wednesdays. They'd returned with groceries, fruits and of course, tender coconuts. The water was sweet but the quantity was comparatively less.
This afternoon's sessions of 'Crime Patrol' on the Sony television channel were interesting and therefore, our siesta was delayed to a half past 3. After teatime, Lekha's beautician, Seena, had come by and she has got her hair chopped short that she'd wanted to get done, desperately. She'd also gone through the pedicuring bit which helps her feet to relax.
My sister, Rema, is off to Pidavoor over this weekend. She has to sort out certain issues regarding our ration card, the gas connection at Raj Nivas and in the process, would be able to have a review of the recent clearing up of the weeds around the house. She'll send me the appropriate screenshots, on What'sApp, regarding the work that has been carried out.
It was a quiet evening thereafter.
Tailpiece.
The Congress party is firing anything and everything from its arsenal to prevent Narendra Modi from coming back to power after general elections '19. Consider these:-
(a) 'Gathbandhan' to 'gathbandhan' and sadly for it, now a 'mahagathbandhan' sans its presence!
Or will it make a last minute entry?
(b) The shifting goalposts of allegations - once each of its observations is effectively countered -
regarding the Rafael aircraft purchase.
(c) The unsavoury observations regarding the Supreme Court and some of the judges.
(d) The long standing grouse about the EVMs and the London based drama, presenting an
American hacker with unsubstantiated charges, the day before.
(e) And now, bringing in Priyanka Gandhi as its general secretary!
The desperation of the party is palpable.
