Tirupati in a Day's Time



This might be ma biggest blog hiatus till now. I happened to be in Tirupati to seek the Almighty's blessings. Walked (or scaled rather) barefoot to the Hill top Temple.
Earlier in the day we (Samir n me) were fingerprinted while booking the Darshan slot. But this finger printing was never verified. Leaving a big question mark on the entire show being managed.

What use is the Finger Printing?? read this to see some Brit usage of the same(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/03/07/nheathrow107.xml)


Comign back to the darshan it was a little Chaotic and Hurried process. At the end when we had the Prasadam we were overjoyed we finally had completed the entire process which is very strenous. In fact due to unforeseen delays we would have missed the Bus 2 Bangalore.

If you ever happen to visit Tirupati here are some pointers.
1. the weather is severe so make sure you drink lot of water/Juice
2. If climbing to the Temple make sure u wear loose T-shirt and trousers. You will sweat profusely.
3. Confirm 3 times your Darshan timings else you might be in for a long wait once u reach the temple.
4. Plan your return Bus a little late in the Night. Also Volvo buses are a must.
5. If possible stay for a day atleast in Tirupati city.

God Bless!
