Those whom i came across in Tirumala

Those whom i came across in Tirumala

A family haling from Kakinada which occasionally visited Tirumala. Seated opposite the temple, the family's outing to Tirumala was made possible by time they had at their disposal and willingness of elder members to take the trek. There was another elderly gentleman hailing from West Godavari and taking his turn in Break Darshan.
Apart from Bala Subramaniam the book seller, there is another book seller roaming in the railway reservation centre and roundabout who has been equally helpful. The ascent to Tirumala from Alipiri Gate brought a dozen of associations; with a reminder that meeting would happen if and when Lord Wills it.

In the Sudharshan Token Queue there was one group from Odisha which disclosed the way to cover the Bhubaneswar-Tirupati clue. Then the one family of father and two sons waiting in the hall and having initiated the walking steps from Chandragiri. I am not aware about that route. Hope to find that later.
  
There were others like the shopkeeper who handed me the Lord's picture in large numbers and hope to meet him soon. Shops opposite the temple across the road under shelter roof were equally good. And some here i was able to place them.

Sanitary staff and those engaged in sweeping and maintaining order were seen working round the clock  and they need to be hailed.
