Conversations centred around Matrusri Tarigonda Vengamama Anna Prasada Centre in Tirumala with those coming from Mumbai and Puducherry

Conversations with those coming from Mumbai and Puducherry

Conversations centred around Matrusri Tarigonda Vengamama Anna Prasada Centre in Tirumala which provided prasadam comprising rice, sambhar, rasam, chutney and butter milk. Hygienic standards are maintained and one is fond of Matrusri Tarigonda Vengamama Anna Prasada Centre for the services rendered.

As conversations with those coming from Mumbai and Puducherry lasted a little over half an hour, some were of the view that walking from Alipiri Gate to Tirumala was the best source of inspiration as it inspired many running into millions who undertook this trek each year. This walk sprinkled with emotions running high to be with the Lord and environed by pleasant beats was amidst scores of outlets dispensing out food items and cool drinks. This walk and the challenge to the same could be negotiated in three hours if there were no halts. Halts at different intervals were mandatory as it gave you the breathing space to a route which was largely steep in format. Not to be outdone and not to be outmanoeuvred this walk from Alipiri Gate i relished the most and have been bold enough to put it in my blog where i had least intention to boast.

Hats off to staff of Matrusri Tarigonda Vengamama Anna Prasada Centre

Walking from Alipiri Gate to Tirumala, the darshan could be taken next day and that grace period should be provided for those in the darshan fray. One gets exhausted by the time one reaches Tirumala and there should be a grace period of one day for one to have an opportunity to have a fleeting glimpse of Lord Venkateswara. As thoughts bordered on hope and aspirations the locales that we have visited in South India too came up for discussion. Matrusri Tarigonda Vengamam Prasada Centre has caught our fancy for long as it provides breakfast, lunch and dinner to those who after darshan want to partake Prasadam which has been prepared with due diligence. Hats off to staff of Matrusri Tarigonda Vengamama Anna Prasada Centre for keeping surroundings clean and preparing prasadam with utmost attention and thereby they could beam.

Tickets dispensed from Srinivasam Complex in Tirupati each day should be more 

As for Srinivisam complex in Tirupati where they dish out 300 rs ticket, effort should be made to increase the number of tickets dispensed each day so that those devotees who have not take online ticket can have the benefit of taking ticket from here. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my good wishes to Tirumala and its residents and hope the presiding deity keeps blessing the followers for trillion of centuries.

As for the occasional rain in the cities of South India including Bengaluru and Chennai the droplets made the places cool where the residents could duly drool. Here a special mention be made for Arun Stores and Mr Arun of Gandhi Nagar near Kempegowda Bus stand in Bengaluru and i would remain ever grateful to him. Having visited Rest House Road in Bengaluru some years ago when i found most residents cheerful and their face could glow. I was of the opinion that people in the South were more cultured and with wings to fly as their aspirational index was not dry. I for one would vouch for South and its various locales that had enough inspirational tales. We also dwelt on my recent visit to Varanasi and how from Buddhist monks from Hubbali in Karnataka to Osaka Guy in Japan the deliberations were frank and with no sighting of any felid. The share ride in a car from Varanasi Airport to place adjacent to Godowlia with a person from Hyderabad more interested in knowing the places from where he could get the delicacies delivered as the city and its proponents he almost revered.

In September 2018 when i was in Tirumala i joined the general queue on all the occasions as the token that was supposed to be given for walking from Alipiri Gate to Tirumala could not be dispensed as some important person was visiting the place. The Lord is for all and despite pushing and shoving the fleeting glimpse is enough to keep you satiated for months to come.

As for Guruvayur and its precincts the shower more than occasional in nature keeps you miles away from being in a state of tense. We hope for peace in the Middle East and India.

I would like to take this opportunity to extend my good wishes to those pursuing M.B.B.S. and hope they come out with flying colours. I would also like to extend warm greetings to Mr Lionel Richie, Mr Phil Collins, Mr Tom Cruise and people in South India. I would also like to extend good wishes to staff members of CNN and Al Jazeera News Channels.
