The return.

Got up at 7, went through the chores and was ready by about a quarter to 9. Mr George, our Kuttu's dad, had come by to give us the contact person at the Thirunelli temple who would coordinate our visit, this morning. We, then, went and had breakfast at the Indian Coffee House which was heavy......dosa with egg is definitely heavy for me.

We were off to the Thirunelli temple soon after. Enjoyed the long drive; on reaching, Ajesh and Santhosh - on instructions from Mr George - were at hand to conduct us through the temple. We offered the 'pithrupuja' for Muthachhan, Ammachi, Achhan and Amma and prayed for the departed. Felt very nice after that.

Lunch was at the Georges and oh, what a spread it was! Kuttu's mom - a high school teacher at the Government Upper Primary School - had taken pains to cook the lovely food. We thanked her profusely and headed for the school for the District Level Meeting at the school. We had the privilege of meeting stalwarts of the district, who'd walked along with PN Panicker, both in the Library Movement as well as the Literacy Movement.

Everyone assembled there, were eager to interact with my Maman and me, take selfies and had promised to work for Foundation. The district general council was formed and all the members gave a brief account about themselves. The actions required in the run up to the celebration of the 'Vaayana Dinam/Vayana Maasam' this year were put across to the team. It's now for them to take this on and make it a success.

We'd then gone back to the resort to collect our luggage to commence our return. There was a massive traffic disruption enroute and we were stuck for over an hour. Thankfully, prior to that we had gone to the local TV station which had shot an interview with Maman. We resumed our journey and had dinner around a half past 9 at Thamarasserri.

We'd headed straight for Thrissur as I'd to be dropped at Kunnamkulam.

We used the transit to discuss the salient features of this year's 'Vaayana Dinam'.     

So, we were on the move as the day came to an end.

Tailpiece.

Met quite a lot of people at Wayanad. I'd very nice interactions with each.
