We'd entered Thiruvananthapuram city by about 6, went through our chores and were ready well in time. Last night, we left the collectorate's compound and hit the highway to Tuticorin, soon after all of us had finished our dinner. Peter Thomas guided us through the city traffic.
We got our turns right for a change today and had reached the Foundation by a quarter to 7. The wash and change were performed within the office and I had peeled off, by a quarter past 8, to the railway station. Bought a ticket and met up with Asokan, the guy who issued it. But the train doesn't stop at Thrippunithura which I'd realised as we approached the station.
Meanwhile, there was this drama of a couple who differed about going off to Pune without the consent of the lady's parents. Both of them had married for a second time - the man's first wife had passed away while the lady's husband had divorced her. There was a lot of crying and promises being made to each other but realised - after seeing the 'tamasha' - that the parents had not gone about it correctly.
I'd got down, finally at the Ernakulam North railway station, at a half past 1. Went to Rema's place by the hired car, after dumped my luggage with Lekha and proceeded to the doctor. The post-prandial result was higher than what it was on my previous outing and I'd put on an additional weight of 2 kgs. Met the dietician, Sindhu, who has advised certain regulations on my intakes.
The next medical review is gonna be on 24 Feb '20.

Prize and Prejudice
According to Gora, however, Malala's real loss of credibility happened with her series of tweets on Kashmir immediately after India scrapped Article 370 and ended the state's special status. "You say, 'Let Kashmir speak'. But have you ever said 'Let Balochistan speak?' You don't care about Hindu and Christian girls, but do you care about the sufferings of your own Pashtun sisters?
Thousands of Pashtuns have been killed because of the brutalities of the Pakistan Army. But you have no shame".
The red carpet welcome given to Malala by the Pakistan Army and her conducted tours with full official protocols revealed to the world that this girl was a plaything of the military. Gora points out that her tweet claiming to be the voice of girls in Kashmir are highly suspicious. For, if there was a telecom ban in Kashmir how was she able to communicate with those girls? Gora is certain these are fake anecdotes from people who do not exist. "I'm sure you are putting these words in their mouths", he says and adds that he has been following Malala's writings since her early days and is prepared to do a "forensic analysis" to prove she's simply recycling her words. "What a fraud you are, Malala," Gora concludes.
Clearly, the Nobel committee goofed up in Malala's case and may now be about to commit a bigger blunder with Thunberg.
Tailpiece.
Took my first ride on the Kochi Metro. Padmakumar and I had gone to the Poornathrayeesan temple where the annual festival was on. The additional lights, the festoons and the buntings gave a rich look!
