Had gone to bed by 2300 hrs, after reminding Mini to wake me up when her bus passed Kunnamkulam. By about 0200 hrs, she'd called and I dressed up and trudged along to the nearby bus stop to receive her. The bus had fetched up soon after and what I felt nice was when the conductor checked with her as to whether I was indeed her brother! Well he and the driver seemed very protective about her and silently, I'd said my cheers to the KSRTC and its work force for their emphasis on customer safety!!
On reaching home and after confirming that she was at ease in the lower bedroom, I'd gone off to hit the sack. Lekha was sleeping peacefully after seeing me off, earlier.
We'd got up at our usual time and gone about the morning chores. I was a trifle late in getting ready but we did have breakfast together. Lekha and Mini have made a plan to go across to Ettumanoor on Monday to look up Kuttu's child; consequently, Mini would cancel her return reservation and proceed for Bangalore by Tuesday. I, too, thought it to be a fine idea!
The lunch was a boisterous affair, with the electricity playing truant a bit too often. The water supply was interrupted as the motor could not be activated and there was a bit of apprehension as to whether Lekha's assistant would be able to complete her work for the day. Luckily, the interruption wasn't for long and the water could be pumped into the overhead tank! Preetha had her tryst with the doctor around 1700 hrs today and it was important that she met him.
Benoy, substituting for his dad - who's working for the electricity board - had come with a new electronic meter to install in place of the existing one, as the linesmen monitoring the readings have doubts as to whether it was under reading! The job didn't take much time and thankfully, there were no power interruptions during the swap.
Seena, Lekha's friend, had come by and we were appalled by the fact that she'd acute breathing difficulty. The young lady has been having a few medical difficulties but we didn't realise that it was so acute; we've advised her to visit her doctor at the earliest.
The evening was spent in conversation and it was a relaxing time.
Tailpiece.
Earlier, Lekha and Mini had gone to the nearby market to buy certain gifts to hand over to the little children during their forthcoming visit.
