In the process of settling down.

Rema and Padmakumar had gone to the temple by a 10' past 5, sent all the morning messages, switched on the hymns on the home theatre, lit up the lamp in the puja room and opened up the house for the day.

Lekha and I were at the temple by 8 to listen to Suma kunjamma's musical group's performance at the Melpathoor Auditorium. It was nice and we returned at a half past 9.

Breakfast of appams and chammanthi.

Yakkitiyak! Washing machinex of soiled clothes, handing over of clothes to Rejith for dry cleaning and the maid washed the undergarments.

Suma kunjamma fetched up by 12 and we had a boisterous and early lunch.

Rema and Padmakumar left soon after for Thrippunithura by the 1330 hr Guruvayur-Ernakulam Passenger.

Siesta.

Teatime and Suma kunjamma goes to the temple for the evening darshan.

She returned by 8, has dinner with us and proceeded to the railway station to board the Guruvayur-Madras Egmore Express.

A quiet evening thereafter. We'd long since settled down!
