It was kind of a sudden decision to attend the marriage. I say this because. I should have planned for darshan if I was sure about the travel. But I didn't.
So the D day arrived.i booked tatkal tickets for me and Dayakar. We boarded train and started to talk. It was a nice journey. I never felt bored so I was glad in the morning that we reached renigunta early. Which is very near to tirupathi. Unfortunately my happiness didn't last for long time. It took 2 hours to reach tirupathi. Result is we missed marriage. Somewhere I felt they completed it too early. 1 hour from. Muhurtham time and every thing done.
We managed to click some pictures with the bride and groom.
I understood that Madhu is concerned about Tulasi who didn't return after joining free Darshan queue yesterday. I tried to enquire and told him that it is 18 hr average time for Darshan.
Tulasi finally came out and called us at 2 o clock which is 24 hrs. After seeing this we got scared about our Darshan plans. We went to CRO office and came to know about lucky dip for darshan ticket. We enrolled ourselves and came out. We managed to walk around and watched few things but we decided to start the return journey. This lucky dip was in our brain but we were pessimistic. At least I was.
So when we came down to tirupathi. The moment I stepped at tirupathi I received a message that I got selected . I think this is the first time I got selected in a lucky draw. Then I was not sure about what to do. Next thing I did was I tried googling what is this seva about.
Understood that I will get a chance to watch closely and without standing in a big queue.
It happens in friendship that if u didn't get a chance ur friend will be unhappy but if u get a chance and not ur friend doesn't he will be more in happy.
This happened to Dayakar I decided to go back and ask if Tulasi or Dayakar wants to come with me. I offered Daya that I am ready to walk if he agrees to come back. He wanted to go home instead.
Dramatic things happened when I was on the way back. Travel from tirupathi to Tirumala generally takes 45 Min. I have to reach there by 8 and it is already 7;35 PM. I was loosing hope but I wanted to give a try. I stopped watching time and was just glaring around . The view was fantablous. Tirupathi was glowing from the view with lights. When I reached I saw the time it took only half a hour. I was surprised. I rushed to the office and requested for my ticket showing my message. Next thing was again a speed breaker, he asked for enrollment slip which I misplaced. After repeated requests he told me to write a letter. I did and I managed to get one.
Madhu called me and when I told him that I need to stay back for the night he told he doesn't have bed but can sleep on floor. I decided to sleep on floor at waiting hall. I managed to sleep for couple of hours . After which I got my bath done and reached temple.
The prime gist of the theme comes here I always believe about this enlightenment. With series of things that happened I thought something might happen. I wanted too give a try. I was exited to watch the diety very closely. I managed to reach there but for some reason there isn't anything that I felt. I was thinking that is this all? The. Feeling was not disappointed but it has no name, I just came out. Every one started say that i am lucky. No idea how was I.
Then I started my marathon travel of 14 hours back to home and I will reach in an hour time from now
