Lekha and Rema had got up earlier than normal in preparation for their trip. I followed them about half an hour later and went through the morning chores. Vineesh had come about 10' before departure time and Lekha and Rema had left, on the dot, at 7. It was after they'd left that I realised that Vineesh had left me with a task - a metallic wheel of the massive moving gate had come off the rail and I'd sought the help of the workers next door to put it back in place.
Vineesh complained about the tightness of the clutch and the consequent difficulty in shifting gears while driving our Chevy. The problem was felt more at Vyttila and Kundannoor where there was a massive traffic snarl. They could reach Shenoy Care well in time, though. Though the time given for meeting the doctor was at 1, he finally, saw her at a quarter to 3 and that too, while being busy on his phone. Sad! Dedication and earnestness suffer a setback as fame and income increase, paradoxically acquired from the patients...the end result being that the doctor loses his personal touch and doesn't have time for those very same patients!!
Lekha's next review is towards the first week of May and I hope to take her then. Rema has been a great help in taking her for the last two reviews.
Reji had promised to come by for the replacement of the heart of the Grandmother clock but alas, his assurances remained but a promise. He has, now, said that he'd come by early in the morning, between 5 and 6, to collect the piece for its onward transportation to Kochi. Xavier, finally, fetched up at 5 to reinstall the geyser. Phew, the problem seems to have been licked though I must admit that I don't have faith in his workmanship as he reeks of liquor right from the morning. I would, go with him for this lone electrical work as money has been invested!
Lekha and Rema had returned by 7, in the evening. Vineesh seemed to be a happy man, having run the errand and has promised to help me subsequently, whenever required.
Tailpiece.
The Prime Minister was at his best in the Parliament where he showcased his government's achievements of the past 55 months comparing it with the 55 years of achievements of the successive Congress governments! The opposition was left tongue tied!! I liked his calling the 'mahagathbandhan' as the 'mahamilavat'!
So, what did Rahul Gandhi do in return. At a meeting, he makes a statement to, "Darpok Modiji ko mere saamne khada kar do aur mein usko demolish karoonga about the Rafael deal". The same empty bluster that saw the then PM, Dr. Manmohan Singh close to tears when he tore a piece of his government's legislation in public. Wonder what gives him the right to disregard and pooh pooh age and experience? A childish guy who's taking advantage of the accident of his birth!
