From Twin Cities Of Telangana To Srisailam Having Semblance of Guiana

From Twin Cities Of Telangana To Srisailam  Having Semblance of Guiana

With Vistara Flight Ticket To Hyderabad showing no PNR I was at the receiving end of Delhi Airport which saw no protest and no tent and none showing the willingness to be TSAR. The matter was resolved after I made a fervent request as I was not their favourite guest. The flight to Hyderabad took over an hour and among those seated were some residents of Maharashtra's Virar. From Hyderabad Airport the bus ride to JBS (Jubilee Bus Station) and thereafter the auto ride to Padmaja Lodge in Secundarabad were minus hiccups and in Telangana State we were amidst surroundings that may see sighting of peacocks. The ride to Srisailam from Hyderabad was completed in over five hours and driver and conductor were fully alert to the proceedings and were in no mood to engage in conversation that was crass. The stay in Srisailam was in Kurni Sadan some kms away from SRI MALLIKARJUNA SWAMY TEMPLE and thousand and thousand miles away from Hueytown. The idyllic surroundings of Srisailam beckons all with the probability of airport coming roundabout which won't see a brawl.

In Secundarabad I settled for Bombay Meals and in Srisailam on offer were fried rice and plate meals with black tea coming in abundance which had no aura of suspense. The trek to Srisailam Temple saw me gain confidence and once in sanctum sanctorum and here those in attendance were priests who were their since morning and partaking the benefits of crowd gathering feast. Outside the courtyard the Famed Laddoos drew praise and some of those having it were no less than sage. The stay in Srisailam was for three days and thereafter I left for twin cities of Telangana which hosts sauna. 

The next destination on pilgrimage circuit was Tirumala; the stay was in Tirupati taking daily trek to Tirumala for its effervescent beauty. Not giving room to a single person in Tirumala is an aberration of sorts the TTD (Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam) authorities have to untie the knot. Giving accommodation to single person after verifying antecedents would make the solitary figure sing paeans even in humid conditions that augur the onset of rains. Give accommodation to single person and for that tweak rules as solitary figure can give you clues.
