Got up at 5, sent the messages, opened up the house for the day, lit up the puja room lamp and switched on the hymns on the home theatre.
Morning cuppa with Lekha.
Walked on the courtyard, recited my prayers, carried out my exercise regimen, bath, breakfast of dosas, sambar and chutney.
Was ready by a half past 10 when Kannan had come by and we kicked off for Ettumanoor soon after. The journey was fine and the weather was nice. Had lunch at Perumbavoor.
Reached the venue by a quarter to 3. Rajeev, our district co-ordinator was thrilled to see me! Had told him to start the drawing competition without wasting time and thereby avoid boring the children.
The meeting officially welcomed and invited me to unveil Muthachchan's photograph. After taking permission from the organisers and the audience, I'd invited Krishna Kumar Panicker to join me in the unveiling ceremony.
The Drawing Competition started soon after. Went around watching the kids at their work. Must say that each of them was splendid! I mean, during that age, I was a total dud at drawing! The lower primary children were given the subject of "My house's courtyard" and the upper primary students were given "A playground".
Aravi maman and Rajan maman had fetched up, along with Aniyan, and I'd touched their feet as is my normal custom. We broke off at a 10' past 5, on completion of the program and I was on my return trip. Reached The Quarterdeck by a half past 9. Lekha had a scrumptious dinner ready.
Tailpiece.
An enjoyable day!
