Posted on 18th January 2006 by Taggy
This trip was long due . And it all happened all of a sudden really i reached home my sis in law jus arnd asked if we can make this trip :)
We decided to leave on sat afternoon by tirupathi express and with all packing done we all left chennai . and i must say ther was all drama on that day the train was at 1:10 and i was gettin teh tickets at 1:07 and i really had to run and get the train and then wehad to pick up maami and cousins around arrakonam :) remember we didnt get a seat in train too :( stood arnd for 4 hrs and finally landed up at tirupathi .
Here is where the fun starts I look up and see huge mountains and a chill wind blowin acroos and i see 7 hills and a feelin i hav to cross each one of them . we started the trace and journey of 34kms began with a single step :p
It was fun the walkpath it was completely sheltered but it gave us a oppurtunity to look at the wildlife froma veryclose perspective. I could see monkey running around dears lazing and some running i even managed to get hold of one of them, and feed them with the paddy straws and it was so lovely those big horns and shapely ones:)
FInally 5 hrs and we reached the 7th hill and the immediate thot was to rest but we thot we wud eat and go for darshan. Gettinga adrashan there is always speacial u see . u wait arnd 15 hrs and see a real sight . I always grew up with the images of god as beautiful but therein i see someone who is not exactly scary but awe. I see darkness and jus the lord and his diamond accesoriews an d devotees all aroound chanting his bhajan . Invariably the bhajans entered my lips too .
and amazing i never felt the pain of walkin such a long path while all thes time i cam eout of the temple and suddenly ifeltpain rushing thru my legs :( the firstthot that stuck me :)thank god ! i never feltthe pain as long as i waswaiting to see u if i had i wudnt hav seen u in all ur glory .
hmm this is my account :) of the trip ! :P
