Uncle Doesn’t Come

February 24, 2007 Link Amma's Grace

All Friday, or all of the latter part of Friday, Rishikesh and many others have been getting Uncle’s room ready. Rishi and I also poured over uncle’s flight itinerary, and decided that he must be coming this Saturday morning at around 3:45am. Subhadramma’s son, Manoj who works in AIMS was lined up to pick up uncle Jeff from the airport, escort him to AIMS, arrange a meeting with Dr Sanjay, and pack him off towards here after finally getting the hard copy of the records and scans. Whew!So this morning at about 4 I got a call from Manoj, who said that uncle Jeff hadn’t showed up yet. I had him go to the taxi stand, the airport enquiry, and then back to AIMS to search the whole lobby… no luck. So finally, poor Manoj, at around 5am called off the case, after Annika insisted that I go over the itinerary. I saw a huge mistake: although the departure from Dubai was on the 24th, the arrival was not till the 25th! It was a midnight flight… I felt so sorry for Manoj Chettan; he hadn’t slept the previous night either, since a brahmachari had gone up to AIMS for treatment…

Today Sheela Aunty and Lakshmi Chechi threw out the milk and curd I had bought last Wednesday… I was at my wit’s end with regard of what to do with it…

Amma came back from Sri Lanka at 1:pm. None of us saw Her. We were feeling like we should go down, go down, but when we finally got out of the door, we got a message that Amma had already reached Her room. She came in through the south gate, so most people missed Her. Those who saw her said that she seemed quite tired.

This afternoon, Manoj Chettan collected the papers from the doctor to give to uncle Jeff tomorrow, and agreed to do a repeat performance…
