At Thiruvananthapuram.

Got up at a quarter to 1, went about my chores and was ready by a half past 2. Called up Sajeesh and he'd called up at our gate by a quarter to 3. Went off to the railway station and was well on time for boarding the Intercity Express. Had to call up Paulson to ascertain my seat in the chair car and it was, C1 Seat no.1. And I recited my prayers during the train's transit from Guruvayur to Thrissur.

Earlier, Kittu was at the door apprehensive about both of us leaving all over again. Saw that look of relief on his face when he realised that only I was going. He, then, disappeared into the darkness.

The lady on seat no.2 and my neighbour was Priya Suraj, the TTE. A lively, young lady who had interacted with me and told me her story. She was an athlete-par-excellence and had run for India in the 4x100 mts relay, during the last Commonwealth and Asian Games. In fact, she has got into the Indian Railways on the sports quota.

She has promised to stay in touch and we exchanged our cellphone numbers. During that short period, she had shown that she was disarmingly simple in outlook and an uncomplicated young girl! May god bless her in all her endeavours.

Reached the Foundation by a quarter past 10 and after saying my hellos to one and all, had joined up with everyone at the Conference Hall on top. The meeting on the Digital Literacy program explained to all the stakeholders as to what we were going to do for the next three months.

Lunch was at the Rest house canteen. Returned to the Foundation and participated in 602nd episode of Aazhhakkoottam. The chief guest was former DGP, Mr PJ Alexander, IPS. It was a nice interaction. 

Went to the nearby Sastha kshetram and had a good darshan. Wound up from there by a half past 8 and reached home soon after. Interacted with Ammayi and subsequently, it was a comparatively early evening.  

Tailpiece.

Covered the districts of Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam and Pathanamthitta.
