Reached Kunnamkulam by a half past 4. Thanked Sunil, the driver and Girija, the conductor as I got off the bus and they were impressed that I remembered their names! It was cute to see the conductor preening herself, periodically, and taking selfies!

Got Rajesh's auto rickshaw as I walked through the light rain with my umbrella. Reached home at 5 and finished unpacking. Washing machinex of the soiled clothes.

Caught up with my work and cleared the backlog.

A quiet evening, thereafter!
