Vidya gave us the coordinates of her house and after a light yet tasty breakfast at the Padma Cafe in Adoor. Ambili, the server did a good job as she went about serving us our food with pleasantness all round. And by about a half past 9, we'd shaped course for Sarala kunjamma's house.
And we reached there by a half past 11. Passed through a kaleidoscope of emotions on seeing Sarala kunjamma after what has been a long while. She was cheerful, talkative and seemed to be very, very happy seeing us. In fact, she did say that she liked me the most in the family. It was nice to hear that.
A cup of coffee, followed by a scrumptious lunch - these were thanks to the energetic efforts of Vrinda and Vidya of preparing them to entertain us! I'd purposely given them no time by announcing our visit only around 10, this morning, to understand the exact route to their house!
We were there for over three hours and they were the happiest times in recent days.
We left Sarala kunjamma's house by a quarter to 3. The drive was uneventful and we reached Rema's place at Sidhi Kedar after a tea and snack at Udupi Mummies Restaurant.
God, please take care of my Sarala kunjamma and keep her in good health for many more years!
Missed the smiling face of the security man, Ganesh who had passed into the mist of time a couple of days ago, thanks to a massive heart attack. He was cremated yesterday in the presence of a few of his relatives working at Kakkanad.
Tailpiece.
Adieu Ganesh! Can never forget your pleasant countenance. May your family have the strength to tide over these difficult times. Om Shanti! Sadgati.
