Twist!


There we were headed to the Tirupathi, Sri Venkateswara Temple... Just the 3 of us... Heading up the hill... No twists or turns could break our bones... As the car swirved up the hill racing to the top...

Finally there we were at the top of the hill... We were told to go to meet someone to collect our Darshan tickets... And so we went finding the place where that man was located... Sure enough we found it... But many twists and turns were in store... We had to turn almost every corner to locate our place... Neverthless we did...

Once getting the Darshan tickets we headed to the main temple and prepared to stand in the line... Apart from the many people there there was something else... Twists... So we walked every corner bringing a new twist...

Once we were closer to the Sanidhi people were pushing and trying to squeeze through... Now came more twists... Twisting yourself in any position possible to get some room to yourself... If at all it was possible... So once again twists all through...

Then we caught a glimpse of Sri Venkateswara and then we were "jaldi'ied" out twisting our backs and our necks every few seconds to see if we could catch a few more rare glimpses... Then our darshan was over...

Back into our car it was back down the hill... Twisting and turning down the roads once again... Finally we all thought the twists had come to an end...

Then comes the line from our driver....
Darshan was excellent... We are very lucky they "DIVORCED" us twice....


SILENCE followed... Followed by a burst of laughter when we finally understood what he meant... Any guesses???

He meant... We got diverged twice (twice they let us in shortcut ways as we got closer to the Sanidhi)... Which is lucky indeed... But not when put like that! ;) So there you go our biggest twist to the Tirupathi trip!

do u knw tat they actually thought of putting 'conveyor belt' system in Tirupati temple at one point of time so tat devotees will be standin on it while entering the sannidhi and they will automatically be transported thro the sannidhi n then out... but they didnt proceed with it coz it was decided it wud hamper the sanctity of the shrine and make things look commercialized!!

btw, y this post 2 times coming??

This "jargandi" stuff doesn't happen only in Tirupathi or for the matter "only in India". It happens a lot in France/Italy in museums especially around the "Mona Lisa" and inside the sistine chapel. This is followed even more meticulously now after Dan brown's novels !!
