DIARY-(11-4-2015)
More than a dozen pensioners , above the age of eighty
, had been invited to attend the annual
meeting of the Pensioners Association, Trichur, to be honoured.
I reached the venue at nine, though the time notified was
ten. Even at ten, there were only a few people. The meeting began by about
eleven. First of all, we stood up to remember those who had left us during the
one year. Then the elders were given a shaul, bordered with golden thread. We
were allowed to speak for some time. I introduced myself and briefly described
my career and other life activities like writing books. There was a Lady whose
daughter too had retired !
We were given vada and tea.
The proceedings lingered and I left at twelve. When I
reached Shakthan stand, a KSRTC limited stop bus was about to start. Luckily ,
it did not stop anywhere and I reached Poochunnipadam by one o clock. In
another ten minutes, Chethy bus for Chathakudam arrived. Had I been late, I
would have to pay Rs. 60 auto charge.
