Things to do

Happy Ramzan, everybody.

1. The maid has a rasping cough. She says she wants to quit and go home if it doesnt improve!

2. I need to plan my Xmas holidays. And book train tickets 2 months in advance. Chennai- Trivandrum Mail always runs to full capacity, being the lifeline of central Travancore passengers. The Tamil pilgrims to Sabarimala, most of whom alight at Kottayam or Chengannur to proceed to the hill temple of the bachelor god Ayyapa, add to the rush. The train was the protagonist of a Malayalam movie starring our superstars Mammooty and Mohanlal - "No. 20 Madras Mail".

3. Need to buy a PC/new bike for V. His Bajaj Chetak scooter is better suited for the museum. Diwali being the time for management magnanimities, working people can afford to be extravagant.

V is at home today - Ramzan holiday.

Mira is getting v. naughty and pampered in Ash's absence. She whacks and pinches our faces, and cries if we put her on the floor. We were being a bit lenient since she was ill.
