The Mankave Idyll: on a Hartal Day on Tuesday

Tuesday (7th Sept.2010) was a day off for people in Kerala and some other parts in India..thanks to a  Strike/Bandh/hartal  called by the Trade Unions,to protest against the Price Hike in Petrol etc..and it meant :No Public transport hence no school..to Jishnu and friends-Naveen and Sudev:
they choose to play monopoly in the post lunch session for a couple of hours..
Dinakumari Teacher , who was late on Sunday for the Mural Class, decides to make up for the time lost, as her school too was closed for the day ..
Dr Reghuraj, has a day off as the college too is closed..and decides to give the finishing touches to the 'flute recital'









Jishnu and Sudev collude to win against Naveen. The boys call it a day and head towards the Trissala Bhagavathi temple-pond for a swim:The pond is full to the brim and you can see the bath house deep in waters:
The majestic Banyan tree-the favourite haunt of grown-ups (pond-watch etc..):
