Had got up at our usual time and gone about our chores. Mini had gone to the Guruvayur temple for a morning 'darshan' initially planning to join the serpentine queue to enter the sanctum sanctorum. Being the 1st of the Malayalam month of Makaram, the temple had quite a crowd of pilgrims and hence, she'd returned after praying at the main entrance.
Lekha's 'arathi' was performed as is usually done on the 1st and together, we broke bread. We got an intimation from the passport office at Thrissur that our appointment for the verification of our data would be at 1530 hrs tomorrow. I'd made a quick dash to the Akshaya Kendra at Thampuranpadi to collect the printouts that need to be carried along with us for verification!
Padmakumar, Rema and Achu dropped by at 1600 hrs after the eye check up at Palakkad. It was fun and we enjoyed every bit of our never-ending conversation. They left by 2100 hrs, after supper. Sajid, the chauffeur had, meanwhile, given us a bombshell that he couldn't come by for the night errand to drop Mini at the bus stand, as promised earlier because of a sudden requirement to ferry a group to the airport - such a trip offers more money, for sure.....but thankfully, it got cancelled.
The three of us had gone to the bus stand at 2300 hrs; the long distance bus was late by about half an hour and so, Mini and I sat on the chairs awaiting its arrival. It was only after seeing her safely within the confines of the Bangalore super deluxe bus that I got myself dropped back at home.
It was a packed day and all the serials had gone off without glitches.
Tailpiece.
Today's Army Day; wished many of my army course mates and friends a happy Army Day.....the replies were spontaneous.
