Though being a Sunday, we'd got up on the dot at 6 AM and gone about our chores. Riya Babu was the first caller of the day before she moved in for her examination. I'd wished her luck and asked her to have confidence in her ability and the preparation that she'd put in for the examination.
I'd just finished my walk, combined with prayers and finished my morning cuppa, thereafter when Ashok Balikai - a course mate of mine at the NDA - had called me around 8 o'clock to say that he'd finished with the 'darshan' of the Guruvayurappan. I'd homed his chauffeur, Arjun, on to 'The Quarterdeck' and they arrived soon after, in time for a breakfast of steaming idiyappams and stew and didn't they relish it?
Ashok and Hema had arrived at Thrissur for a wedding yesterday and had included the temple visit to look us up and we'd dovetailed the breakfast accordingly. They were with us for almost two hours where we caught up with each other's activities! While leaving, they'd promised to return to spend more time at a later date.
Sajid was about 20' late and Lekha and Mini had left for David's son, Justin's wedding reception at Chovvannoor on the way to Vadakkancherry. Mini could meet many of her friends who were with her at the Kerala School, Vikaspuri at Delhi eons ago.
I'd a quiet lunch by myself and the ladies had returned just before the maid was leaving after her day's work.
It was a quiet evening thereafter.
Tailpiece.
The bandicoots are around - because of the vast expanse of greenery and open space around - creating nuisance time and again. Laying a trap for one or two and exterminating them is a sane way of dealing with the menace as killing them enmasse is not recommended.
