We'd got up on the dot, gone through our chores and were ready well in time. Lekha and her assistant went to the Mammiyoor Siva kshethram for the weekly 'darshan' - Preetha had returned earlier with the grocery/vegetables bought from the market while Lekha came back only after her tryst with the good Lord.
The weed clearing work around the 'Raj Nivas' has entered the fifth day and the caretaker says that it would finish by this Sunday. The afternoon heat is taking away a lot of man hours and I've made it clear that the well being of the workers was of paramount importance notwithstanding the mounting expenses! Already, eighteen man days have been consumed with four remaining and as is being cited, the team had under quoted this time!! The caretaker, meanwhile, is leaving for a pilgrimage to the Palani temple and will be back in the wee hours of Sunday morning.
The grandmother clock's glitches have narrowed down to it gaining 6' every 24 hrs and I've made a correction to this effect by increasing the length of the pendulum! The stoppages have become a thing of the past!!
Rajesh, the carpenter, had called up by lunch time to say that he'd drop by about tea time to fix up up the granite piece in the kitchen. Accordingly, he'd come and finished up the job but I thought that his charges for the work were high but didn't contest it.
Had gone up to the nearby ATM to pull out some money and was monitoring Mini's bus throughout the evening; it's delayed by half an hour which means she'll eventually reach here by 0200 hrs.
Tailpiece.
The SP and the BSP have decided to go it together during the forthcoming general elections. By doing so, they have made up a formidable team and give the others a run for the money. Is its chief minister becoming a problem guy for the BJP? On a personal observation, he seems to be having wrong priorities!
