Had got up on time, went about our chores and was ready well on time. The maid was back after a gap of two days and so, things had eased out for Lekha. But there was another villain lurking around from morning - frequent power interruptions which restricted many of our activities.
Water was used sparingly because the motor could not be operated, the preparations in the kitchen had restrictions because the grinder mixer could not be put to use!
Could activate Lekha's new ATM card and give it our PIN at the nearby ATM. But the streamlining it along with certain apps didn't work as the bank was having an emergency meeting to sort out certain issues.
Went for the matinee show of the Tamil movie 'Perambu' meaning compassion. A nicely made movie that etches out the contours of a father-daughter relationship where the girl is a special child. Mammootty, as the often puzzled dad and finally coming to grips of the problem has given a subdued, sterling performance. Sadana who plays the daughter matches him in histrionics, frame for frame. The moment the father comes to terms with his daughter's transformation from a teenager to an adult has been very nicely put across! A nice movie that's gonna walk away with many honours in the long run, I'm sure!
The power outages continued all through the evening because of which many of the television programmes had to be skipped but the positive bit was that we got more time to interact. Lekha will be meeting Dr(Mrs)Sodhi tomorrow for her cough and cold tomorrow. The anti-allergic medicines don't seem to have much effect and she has been having it for the last six days!
The power outage towards the end of our day, hastened our decision to hit the sack comparatively early!
Tailpiece.
Lekha's cellphone has gone for a bunt. All of a sudden, this evening, its services were disabled and the instrument has gone dead. A similar situation had developed on my cellphone about two years back and mind you, both of us have post paid Airtel numbers! I'd put across to their executive that they've a tremendous responsibility towards their customers especially when they claim to have the largest chunk of customers rooting for them. Why do such things happen and why don't they accept their responsibility for the piss poor services that they provide? Or is it that the customer provider attains "godly status" after becoming numero uno - or whatever that means - in their field of work. No wonder the Reliance Jio has begun to overtake it and it will realise its follies in the end...albeit a twad too late.
Passed on the problem to a friend of mine who I came to know had left the organisation for greener pastures and yet, has promised to help me. damn sweet of him!
