Had got up groggily thanks to the late night last night, yet again, due to an interesting episode of the 'Crime Patrol' on the Sony channel. We went through our chores but I was a trifle late.
Preetha will not be coming in tomorrow as her son is here and he will be leaving for Thalasserry sometime tomorrow. So, Lekha had taken her along to do some sundry shopping at Mammiyoor to tide over the Sunday requirements. They had returned over an hour later and in the meanwhile, I was watching the Republic Day celebrations at the Raj Path, New Delhi which was a very colourful event, as usual!
The colourful pageantry associated with the Republic Day and the march past through the Rajpath have never failed to evoke a patriotic fervour in me, always and everytime.
A group of three gentlemen - Mr. Padmanabhan, Mr. Sunil Kumar and Mr. Anoop, at the behest of my friend, KR Narayanan - had dropped by and we'd a long chat over the recent happenings, connected with the entry of women in the Sabarimala shrine. In the process, I've also told them about my overall opinion of the RSS and its activities.
Had also touched upon the details of the Library and the Literacy movements of Kerala. They seemed to be adequately educated about Mr. PN Panicker's contributions towards the betterment of Kerala by the end of my monologue.
It was a quiet evening, thereafter.
Tailpiece.
TP Senkumar, the ex-DGP's outburst on ISRO scientist, Nambi Narayanan, getting the coveted Padmabhushan award was unnecessary and out of place......at least, I thought it to be so. Or is he privy to something that we are not aware of?
I was looking forward to a posthumous Bharath Ratna for the late Field Marshal SHFJ Maneckshaw. Our own, metroman, E Sreedharan is another strong contender for the highest civilian award!
