South Indian States Have Stories Of Wisdom To Share; Leaving Guruvayur For Thrissur

South Indian States Have Stories Of Wisdom To Share; Leaving Guruvayur For Thrissur

Having visited Coffee Shop (It's Coffee Time) on a Wednesday with the knowledge that it gets open by 4 AM sharp as told by Mr Faisal but that was not the case to be and I had to make a beeline to Devas Soorum which minus milk provided black tea of refined taste and not prepared in haste. These two outlets were the one to host milk and black tea in the early hours with Guruvayur Region receiving its share of showers. During the visit to Devas Soorum I came across a gentleman who had come to a nearby store to figure out whether he was the lucky one to win lottery and from his demeanour it seemed he would have to wait for fortuitous turn of events to be sure and something likely to be experienced by Southern Sudan tribal people Nuer. Here lottery vends can be seen here and there sizeably catching on the curiosity of common man be it any person including those holding Iran's not in usage at present silver coin kran. Lottery vends are much better than liquor vends and this Kerala State takes pride in keeping lottery business in circulation giving hope to those who are likely to have intuition. 

Visiting Outer Precincts Of Lord Guruvayur (Guruvayurappan) Temple On Thursday

Thursday was the day when I was supposed to approach Lord Guruvayur (Guruvayurappan) Temple one final time from outside during this visit and I reached the outer precincts before 6 AM and after putting in the prayer in the writing sheet I spent some time there and returned to my room with random thoughts which in future I could share. In all I visited East Nada In Guruvayur not less than five times on Thursday and each outing making me view the proceedings inside the temple from outside and this was by no means session to be termed trite. During different visits to Temple Area I used to go through Guruvayur Devaswom Sreevalsam Guest House where the need to take a room can well be realised after having established contacts with those who don't have any hint of grouse.  

South Indian States Have Stories Of Wisdom To Share

During umpteen visits to bus stand in East Nada I went past outlets of Manappuram Gold Loan, Olive Dates, Dry Fruits And Nuts, Tulips Groom Bride Make Up Studio,  Ad of ESAF Small Finance Bank, Forex Duty Paid Shop and Munaf Stores to name a few and this has partially remained as it is over the years with no change in the crew. Meeting Jaideo Krishna a student of Krishna Higher Secondary School in Guruvayur was something to cherish and the likes of such people are miles and miles away from getting in acts carrying the tag of avarice. Acquisitions should come but in a manner not outright hurting Nature's Drum. Chavakkad Beach and Elephant Sanctuary which I omitted from my itinerary this time was much to do with longish ride and despite being sure the return journey would not bring me in contact with anyone with temperament ornery. That ornery conduct can well be visualised in a Big City With Big Take where some are mindful of taking slice of power cake. Chavakkad Beach And Elephant Sanctuary I visited way back in 2016 and the King could well be the one who would recall his joyful journey as teen. Chavakkad Beach and Elephant Sanctuary I wish to catch on during next visit something unlike Siachen permit ticket. Kerala and Host Of States In South India take pride in having a leadership in true gear and they have true stories of wisdom to share. These stories could well be of a Chess Wizard To An Entrepreneur Who Has Earned North American/ Latin American Reward. From Cuba to Colombo residents from South India venture out and precisely by dint of hard work gain clout. 

Leaving Guruvayur To Reach Thrissur

After taking grub from Hotel Saravana Bhavan and making one final round of Lord Guruvayur (Guruvayurappan) Temple I vacated the room in PISHARODY SAMAJAM and hailed an auto with Mr Pranav at the wheels taking me to Guruvayur Station where fewer and fewer trains are in action. The woman who handed the Tatkal Ticket the previous day was kind enough to give ticket for train going to Ernakulam touching the base of Thrissur which won't swing like pendulum. This was a visit to Guruvayur bringing in contact with people with impeccable credentials and their visits to Middle East And Beyond are no less than an act to be termed reverential. From Mr Nandkumar bringing MILMA Milk Brand with no bar to Mr Sainuddin in Grand Super Market And Mr Abdul And Mr Kareem in Hot Bake And Cool Club the meeting of mind saw me raise a praise for a region which may well divulge the future equation. 

Visit to Tirumala And Guruvayur goad you to raise A Flag Of Accolade and serene surroundings are truly A Grade. A Whisper Here And A Prayer There the line of communication with God is truly rewarding and for days elevating.

From Veg Meals On Banana Leaves To Dance Troupe From Alapuzha With Enough Ace

From Veg Meals On Banana Leaves To Dance Troupe From Alapuzha With Enough Ace

The Grand Super Market In South Nada In Guruvayur came handy on different occasions with bananas and cutlets not procured in bulk but in a quantity that won't make one sulk. The staff diligent to the proceedings welcomed visitors and brought the items to be purchased on table with this Guruvayur City not known to host any rebel. From Britannia Treat Croissant to multigrain rusk to samosa to other snacks all were made readily available and discipline maintained something to marvel. Specifically to note was the hoarding of Parking Area Customers but there were no vehicles to be traced as the congenial parking area was not in car race. Car race one sees in a big city knowing fully well the unfolding flummox and nitty-gritty and here in Guruvayur the serpentine traffic much in absentia and this is no trivia. Jovial was the outlook as one stepped out after visiting this Gracious Grand Super Market and We hope it would attain the monthly target. Equally cordial was the invite from Hot Bake And Cool Club hosting dry fruits that the territories in the Middle East Love. 

Veg Meals On Banana Leaves Quite Therapeutic 

As Glimpse of Lord Guruvayur (Guruvayuruppan) was gained on a Tuesday the time was perfect to have grub from Hotel Saravana Bhavan in East Nada where some are familiar with Sanskrit's Pada. Veg meals it all came for Rs 130 same as the one in Tirupati and servings made on banana leaves with ease. Taking food from banana leaves is much healthier and keeps you in robust shape and vegetables served are brought in if not big in small crate. Staff in Saravan Bhavan was gentle and good-natured perhaps learning the ropes from the service rendered in West France's Poitiers. Here it becomes mandatory to note that Hotel Saravana Bhavan across world should engineer moves to serve meals on banana leaves if not possible across globe then at least in India where people have hope. Here people have hope that visits to various religious destinations would be minus hiccups and stay would be long enough to witness no session of usurp. Here PISHARODY SAMAJAM made it apparent the stay would be comfortable courtesy the staff going by the names Mr Ram Chander, Mr Bal Chander, Mr Mani, Mr Diwakar, Mr Shinoj and Madam Sunisha. Every afternoon after taking meals I would visit Coffee Shop (It's Coffee Time) and Mr Faisal and Mr Venugopalan would be attending to customers coming from far distant places that at some point of time would be ruled by Empress. Mr Venugopalan (Nick Name Venu) would engage in conversation every now and then with a query on official dealings in Delhi and my repartee being maintaining blogging tally. On two days visit to Coffee Shop a little after 4 in the morning could not get me the milk and black tea I desired and visit to Devas Soorum outlet could get me the tea if not milk one aspired. 

Visiting Lord Guruvayur (Guruvayuruppan) Temple On Wednesday

Wednesday as well I reached outer precincts of Lord Guruvayur (Guruvayuruppan) Temple just before 6 AM and wait for almost two hours was enough to send me to special queue darshan (each special darshan ticket entry costing Rs 1000) and I was out of temple a little before 8.30 AM. Like in Tirumala there are no noticeable bathrooms here and one has to bear till the time the temple round is not completed and here authorities need to equip the temple area with arrangements where one can go to bathroom and join the queue from the very place he or she left all along maintaining the heft. That decision to join the special entry darshan left me little miffed with plans to visit the temple on Thursday in disarray as temple diary notings I could not do with ease due to intervention of some temple individuals despite no breeze. Having returned to the guest house room I for one decided to have darshan on Thursday from outside as waiting in the general queue for two to three hours would be bothersome as prior to the visit I would invariably take milk and black tea with surroundings by no means looking grum. I can wait in the general queue for more than three hours provided I have not taken milk and black tea and here most ardent devotees of Lord Guruvayur (Guruvayuruppan) would agree. 

Dance Troupe From Alapuzha

In the room not much to do I left for Guruvayur Railway Station with little willingness as I did not want to leave Guruvayur so soon to book a rail ticket (Indian Railways) to Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin with no thoughts on China's Tianjin. The woman at the counter kind enough to dish out tatkal ticket and her magnanimity was something to praise as you some times come across rail staff in rage. While coming out of station I visited SREE PARTHASARTY TEMPLE (Under Malabar Devaswom Board) from outside and returned to the room having maintained posture upright. Wednesday was the day when the dance troupe from Alapuzha in Kerala State staying in PISHARODY SAMAJAM was to perform at Melpathur Auditorium with having done the rehearsal the previous day. Tuesday was the day when I watched dance performance which was quite mesmerising and on Wednesday having missed the dance performance by the group from Alapuzha I hope to catch on the same in future even if some would have dropped plans to visit Cuba. My best wishes to Alapuzha dance troupe. 

Keep Train Connectivity To Thrissur All Through Day 

Mr Vinod hailing from Bengaluru told me in Coffee Shop on Wednesday that on a monthly rental of Rs 7000 one could get one to two room set in Guruvayur with attached bath and kitchen and here when I could not stay this time beyond five days how could I think of staying for months and this was only possible if invaluable time was spent with little outgo of pence. Last time round I stayed for full Seven Days with visit to Lord Guruvayur (Guruvayuruppan ) Temple three days. This time even on two different days the visit to Lord Guruvayur (Guruvayuruppan) Temple was fascinating and here devotees all year round would keep arriving. Here the need of the hour is to keep Indian Railways train connectivity from Thrissur not just twice all through day as that would give the devotees enough choice. As one came across slew of lottery ticket vendors at every nook and cranny of Guruvayur hope they sail and have enough income proof and roof. If in vicinity of Karrad Road one came across multi level parking, buses with limited stops and flats to let, West Nada had entirely different appearance flanked by MILMA SHOPPE, Minimart, Sweet Palace with Mr Feroze at the counter and hotels going by the names Balakrishna Residency, Murali Lodge, Avanti Inn and SREE VENKATESWARA TOURIST HOME and this is much cherished peace zone.

Stay In Guruvayur And Visiting Lord Guruvayur (Guruvayurappan) Temple On A Tuesday To Pray

Stay In Guruvayur And Visiting Lord Guruvayur (Guruvayurappan) Temple On A Tuesday To Pray

Having reached Guruvayur in Kerala State In India on a Saturday with little or no fear that accommodation would be an issue I began the search for lodge beginning from East Nada covering as diverse as Previnnya Lodge, Brahmaputra Tourist Home and Aishwarya Tourist Home to name a few which outright rejected the demand for room thereby making it amply clear that I would have to roam. In the Malayalam Calendar the coming Sunday was considered to be auspicious and in view of that most lodges expressed inability to spare a room even if one had no audacity to croon. Touching lodges and hotels after hotels the difficulty to access a room I had not foreseen and it almost took two hours to zero in on a lodge near Karakkad Road perhaps going by the Name Shree Krishna Nilayam (Near Guruvayur MSS Juma Masjid) and this was well past 12 AM. Mr Nandkumar was the man at the desk who took me to a room in a dilapidated state the bathroom no good either with the promise he would shift me to an adjacent building next morning (Newly Built) which would be in a much better shape and this night enduring in nature one shouldn't ape. 

Bringing Milk At 5 AM; For Kottayam Group It Took Five Hours To Get Inside Lord Guruvayur (Guruvayurappan) Temple On A Sunday

Right at 5 in the morning Mr Nandkumar was at the door with a glass of milk something I need to admire as the milk was pure and authentic and that was largely the sum total of surroundings outside and the visual semantics. When I left the bed I met a group from Kottayam in Kerala State where a lad told me that that they had joined the temple queue at 2 in the morning and it took five hours to gain glimpse of Lord Guruvayur (Guruvayurappan) and they had perfect tuning. Morning hours were spent in taking a room in the new structure with the room and attached bathroom neat and tidy and surroundings by no means looking duddy. Before the noon was to set in came a gentleman going by the name Mr Raju who having learnt I was devotee of Lord Guruvayur (Guruvayurappan) promised me that he would speak to Mr Nandkumar to see the room tariff was scaled down so that stay was long enough to be comfortable even if I was not wearing the crown. In the meanwhile I visited Harikrishna Online Hub (Mr Diljith At The Desk) near the bus stand to do a story and here special praise for the staff who would have by all means heard of Climate Envoy John Kerry. Harikrishna Cyber Cafe  I have visited in the past as well in 2016 when I was in Guruvayur after coming from Rameswaram and Kanniyakumari and in the rivers of these places what comes handy off and on are ferry. 

Pisharody Samajam In South Nada Was The One To Check In

Mr Raju did not revert back and before evening Mr Nandkumar made a dash to my room explaining the finer details of higher tariff and check out time being 2 PM so I needed to pay for the second day even if there was handful of cash not to be necessarily carried in a tray. In no mood to lessen the tariff I told him I would look for an alternate lodge perhaps a meeting of mind with someone who was not in habitual radge. I went to Everest Inn in Ring Road South Nada with the manager telling me to get in touch with Mr Mohammad and this was followed by a visit to Pisharody Samajam In South Nada where Mr Ram Chander agreed to lend the room at almost half the price at which I was staying in Karakkad Road and this was something to gloat. The date and time of arrival was fixed for Monday with a certainty that stay would be minimum for three days and this could be extended if there were no dance troupe arrival and their trace. Visited outer precincts of Lord Guruvayur (Guruvayurappan) Temple in the evening knowing fully well I would be able to visit the said temple on Tuesday and not before that as room had to be vacated on Monday. Took light snacks in the evening from Nandini Restaurant. Monday morning after taking milk and black tea from Coffee Shop (Janaki Suites) (It's Coffee Time) visited outer precincts of Lord Guruvayur (Guruvayurappan) Temple and later visited Pisharody Samajam where Mr Mani was at the desk to make it doubly sure that room would be there with no fear. 

Visiting Lord Guruvayur (Guruvayurappan) Temple On A Tuesday

Checked in Pisharody Samajam  in South Nada after 1 PM and later took meals from Hotel Saravana Bhavan. A clean room with attached bath and this was all I asked for and having made mental note of the fact that the milk provided by Mr Nandkumar of Shree Krishna Nilayam was the best and milk from Coffee Shop and Devas Soorum were no match and for all devotees visiting Mr Nandkumar's lodge should have access to milk coming from MILMA brand batch. Tuesday morning I was all set to access Lord Guruvayur (Guruvayurappan) Temple with Hotel Personnel Mr Shinoj helping me with the mundu. When I joined the queue after writing diary it was 7.02 AM and from 7.04 to 9.27 the line did not move. It was at 9.30 devotees in the queue began to proceed towards temple and I was in sanctum sanctorum at 9.45 and came out of temple at 10.17 AM. Here one needs to note men should be draped in mundu dhoti alone and they can wear the shirt only after coming out of temple mindful of where they have kept their phone. 

Grand Supermarket In South Nada with Mr Sainuddin at the desk came handy for snacks. This is the store to watch out for as it has affable staff. Hot bake and cool club in South Nada in Guruvayur also came handy with Mr Abdul and Mr Kareem attending to customers with enough grace and they in return earning praise. In Tirupati in Friends Tea Stall there were Mr Kumar, Mr Shekhar, Mr Babu and Mr Lakshman whose shop is visited by those functioning in the capacity of doorman.

Fleeting Glimpse Of Lord Govinda In Tirumala And Reaching Guruvayur

Fleeting Glimpse Of Lord Govinda In Tirumala And Reaching Guruvayur

A Fleeting Glimpse Of Lord Govinda what I cherished in Tirumala and some moments later left for Tirupati on a Friday having noted gentlemen who were young and not turning grey. After taking veg meals from Hotel Saravana Bhavan which is right Opposite SRINIVASAM COMPLEX it was time to look for options to gain access to Guruvayur in Kerala hoping things to get better in Brazil's Favela with thoughts no less on Central Mexico's Tula.  Visited Alpha Tours And Travels Port In Tirupati with enquiries for trains to Thrissur where people during Pooram Festival take the much anticipated tour and this fest having sessions to lure. With Mr Basha the gentleman not at the desk it was Mr Lokenath who introduced me to a gentleman from Tirupati Cab Hub who promised in Kerala Express Train Number 12626 confirmed reservation would be done with least likelihood of he knowing French Statesman Blum. A confirmed ticket in hand with seat number 61 in B1 coach and here there be no need to approach. 

Train Number 12626 And Enquiries To The Same That No One Could Nix

VENU Residency was least to offer discount as I told them I would be vacating in little under three hours with my train least likely to go through Maharashtra State's Berar. After gaining milk and black tea from Tirupati Bus Stand after 11 I got back to my lodge to get ready and left the same a little before 2 AM knowing fully well the territories known to house malfunctioning EVM (Electronic Voting Machine). A disciplined automan at the helm I reached Tirupati Railway Station where enquiries about Train Number 12626 brought in action a man having fascination for aviation. With no answers I took seat on Platform One and query on the said train elicited response that it would come either on Platform One or Two and in the meanwhile one can shake off career blue. 

A Session Of Wait And Whisper

A session of wait and whisper what I had to endure and I got hold of a porter Mr Narayanan who said the train which was supposed to come at 4.40 AM was behind schedule and this was Indian Railways underlying rule. From 2 to 6.40 anxious moments were spent in the station given the luggage that was heavy and getting inside the coach would be no less than winning a trophy. Finally the train arrival looked possible and announcement was made to this effect first in Telugu (Telugu Is Widely Spoken In Andhra Pradesh And Telangana States The Much Cherished Quarters In India) followed by Hindi and English that Platform Five was where it was supposed to come and there be no beating of drum. Along with the porter in nick of time I reached Platform Five with thoughts on those who were having large family and how they would have accessed Platform in such a short duration in a nation where in train after train there is spell of malfeasance and unfolding abuse sequence.

Boarding Train; Meeting A Gentleman Who Has Served In Oman And This Nation Having Hosted Evan

A North Indian man in his '70s who was slamming every other person getting out of coach and this man looked to be entirely rude with no intention to hear the functions of North American Group Paiute. Having taken seat in B1 coach I wondered whether the ride would be smooth even if I was not fascinated by Bluetooth. Some hours later this elderly man who was associated with works in astrology took a seat next to mine and dropped all sort of names and verbal abuse was audible despite trains in the past having passed through territories having tubewell. Abuse is wide and open in North India something recalled in the past by residents of Spain's Numantia. The train went past Katapadi (Andhra Pradesh State), Salem (Tamil Nadu State ), Erode (Tamil Nadu) and reaching Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu) after 2 where some could be spotted wearing attire new. Madukarai came at 2.27, Palakkad at 3.15 and Thrissur well after 4.15 and train pantry looked to be a well functioning canteen. In train I came across a Gentlleman from Thrissur going by the name Mr Santosh who had gone to Amravati (Andhra Pradesh) to get his daughter admitted to a course in Vellore Institute Of Technology which may branch out in future in disciplines like geology.  Having spent 30 years in Oman and this is true for most of the households in Kerala where one member or more take job in Middle East and a region where some would have heard of potman. Middle East has been going through change and some sections much  inspired by works of Japanese architect Tange. 

LORD GOVINDA COMING TO THE RESCUE OF A GENTLEMAN 

As I deboarded at Thrissur and as the train began to move a gentleman while trying to get down lost balance and by Lord GOVINDA's Grace was saved and this rescue act would have been praised by his parents. He was able to get inside the train and this is how Lord Govinda comes to the rescue come shine or rain. For the next five hours spending time in station to take train to Guruvayur wasn't herculean with notings made of enough number of women who travel for work in South India turf.  South India is much better as far as imprints of respect that is visible and here one need not turn rebel. 

From Prices Of Essentials That Have Been Lashed By Upsurge That Is Torrential 

In Thrissur On Platform One small pack of banana chips came for Rs 100 and this illustrated to a good extent the prices of essentials across country having gone up including wholesome grub. There is an urgent need for taxpayer money to be prudently spent and if that happens prices of indispensable commodities would be under control and no need to get in acts of prowl. From lodge stay to travel tray all have been brought under GST (Good And Services Tax ) net and that is the bet. Reaching Guruvayur well past 9.50 there was no transport available and ready. I went on foot with bag having undergone enough bruise in a timeline when some have no access to news and are subjected to day in and day out abuse. I have been wondering for a while why abuse floats in plenty inside the coach I am in every now and then and this shows the law and order machinery and the act they savour and this is no benign trend.

LORD GOVINDA Has Been Showering Praise ON HIS DEVOTEES FOR TIME IMMEMORIAL And He Is The One To Look To In Times Of Mixed Tidings And As People Of All Faith Can Visit His Abode (Lord Venkateswara Temple In Tirumala) And Post Visit Some Can Notably Float. Accessing Lord Govinda Temple One has nothing to spend as entry is free (Sarva Darshan) and one is as well provided Prasadam in Matrusri Tarigonda Vengamamba Anna Prasada Centre where one can with ease enter. Lord Govinda And Lord Guruvayur Are Here To Bless And Take Away The Stress.

Search for lodge in Guruvayur began from 10.15 PM onwards and it was a puzzle no less than connect the dots tussle. A search that lasted for two hours and not running out of patience with unfolding events likely to be labeled hard task. A query here and quintal sermons there the search went on and on ...

Taking Train To South India From New Delhi; Gaining Glimpse Of Lord Govinda In Tirumala

Taking Train To South India From New Delhi; Gaining Glimpse Of Lord Govinda In Tirumala 

Making train enquiries wasn't a tall task with the possibility of coming into play detection aircraft AWACS. Spending two days in a South bound train with Dynamic Fare having kicked in for a ride to Kozhikode and beyond with thoughts on Dakota Indians Teton. Sleep is elusive if one has to catch a morning train going to South (South India) where in some segments there are morning to evening session rains. On a Sunday left bed a little before 1 AM and after little prayers gave the necessary push to locate an auto that would take me to Nizamuddin Railway Station and the said ride would be neato. Leave home at 4.50, going past South Extension and Bhogal (two prominent areas in New Delhi) with railway station accessed at 5.05 with Mr Pappu the automan from Gwalior charging Rs 300 and likes of these automen in the city duly thrive. Haggling with a porter made no sense and settled for Rs 250 for accessing Platform 4 and here it was more important to maintain mense. As I settled in the said platform with repeated announcements being made for different trains like Visakhatpatnam Jayanti Express to depart from Platform Seven, Andhra Pradesh Sampark Kranti to depart from Platform 8, Mangla Express to Ernakulam to depart from Platform three and there were less number of Indian Citizens radiating glee. 

Boarding Trivandrum Rajdhani From Hazrat Nizamuddin In New Delhi

Boarded Trivandrum Rajdhani after 5.40 and train was all set to depart at 6.16 and hoping against hope none would be nowty. In the meanwhile National Dairy Development Board Wagons passed by with thoughts on whether the milk in different locales would be on course and not dry. Bengaluru Rajdhani which had come on Platform Six and here a large number of porters were engaged in unloading the high capacity parcel and surroundings looking subtle. Trivandrum Rajdhani went past Mathura at 7.55 and from Mathura to Kota there were series of squeaky clean stations in a nation where adults have to take rigorous tuitions. At 9.05 thinking about Dakshineshwar and Kalighat temples in Kolkata in West Bengal State where occasionally in the morning people have bread. Sri Ganganagar (Rajasthan) comes at 9.20, Sawai Madhopur (Rajasthan) at 9.55, Kota (Rajasthan) at 10.57 with some sections in the country witness to cash being passed under the table and with no sighting of a rebel. Meals served after 12.45 PM and thinking about metre gauge line in Rajkot and those who wish to float. Ratlam at 2.07 with picturesque sight between 2.50 and 3.50 and all functions sprinkled with enough gaiety. 

Reaching Madgaon In Goa State

Godhra at 3.50 with having taken note of Bohra Muslims that were seen around in plenty and Vadodra the city in Gujarat coming at 5.20. Surat at 7.22 and Panvel at 11 where some naughty elements dabble. Thivim comes at 7.20 AM the next day a day when people would hope and pray. Madgaon Sawantwadi Divas train passes through and our train is all set to go through different tunnels with no amended crew. At 8.40 comes Madgaon and the halt is long with this centre having been visited by travelers from Mekong. Picturesque sight after Madgaon and at 12.30 comes Udupi (Ad Of International Association Of Lions Club Udupi) and Mangaluru at 2 with river outside Mangaluru something to brood and in the train one should not get rude. When the train entered Kerala a person hailing from Haryana/Punjab territory who was in seat number 28 began conversation with me about three hours ago and disappeared. Later he reemerged and took the same seat and began the session of verbal abuse when all passengers in the nearby seats had vacated and I changed seat to 42 and this coming into play one should rue. Where is the need for abuse to flow in train emerging from Delhi whose abuse phantom is known in distant Beverly. 

In Karnataka-Kerala Border; Reaching Thrissur In Kerala

IN Karnataka-Kerala border coconut trees bloom and suspect shouldn't be the groom. Kumbla at 2.40, Kasaragod at 2.57, Nileshwar at 3.40, Kannur at 4.15, and Tikotti at 5 and here coconut and banana plantation in plenty. At 5.05 Quilandi (Squeaky Clean) , 5.09 Chemancheri (ILAHIYA HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL), 5.12 Elattur, 5.19 Westhill, 5.22 Vellayil, 5.32 Kozhikode 5.32, Kallayil at 5.43, Feror 5.47, Kuttippuram (having milma store) 6.17, Shoranur 6.57 and at 8.03 Thrissur which in high order has elephants and coffee brew. In Thrissur took masala dosa from Veg Refreshment on Platform One and probably the oil they cook in doesn't entail satisfaction attainment. The search for lodge began in the right earnest; Aradhana lodge no rooms, Hotel Ammus Palace and Seafort with high tariff and zeroed in on Dwarka Palace on Monday night where I had no intention to visit terrace. The room was average and the milk served the next morning wasn't as thick as Nalla Bazaar in Ajmer and visit to Swaraj Round in Thrissur was no less than a Fair. 

Visiting Swaraj Round In Thrissur 

Hotel Geetha I visited umpteen times and it came handy for idlis and here the staff going by the names Mr Sri Kumar from Calicut (Kozhikode), Mr Subhash and others were helpful and working in this place gave them the necessary fuel. In Thrissur's Swaraj Round stores galore notably mobile store (Nandilath G-mart G Mobile, Samsung and others), jeans store, clothes store (Pantaloons, Raymond store, Linen Club ), juice store, watch store, restaurants (Pathans Veg Hotel), optical store, Nadavaramba metal store, Haneef Traders, courier, lamination, fax, photostat, helmet store, chit and finance, Westside, Coffee House and others. In Swaraj Round SUVs, autos, buses and cars of different make sharing space and here rash driving least to be seen and gentlemen after gentlemen in India acquiring and getting into car race. When I vacated the room Wednesday morning Mr Mukundan and Madam Sunita were helpful in Dwarka Palace despite some keeping television on in full volume the previous night and wearing jeans that were outright tight.

Leaving For Tirupati In Andhra Pradesh State 

In Thrissur station Tata Nagar-Ernakulam arrives and so does Dhanbad-Ernakulam, Ernakulam-Hatia, Thiruvanthapuram-Kasaragod with passengers having arrived from places where there are monthly to monthly changing different toll tax road. The train number 22816 (Bilaspur Express) leaves Thrissur at 10.10 AM. The TTE is a woman and she is simple and the way women have been employed in different capacities in Indian Railways highlights this gender ace. Reaches Coimbatore at 12.29 PM, Erode at 3, the train goes past Cauvery River at 3.15 and before Salem comes at 3.54 rains lash the region and here people have nation vision. Nagercoil-Mumbai Central train which comes to Salem at the same time have some passengers who are comfortable wearing vest preferring to reach their nest with no need to know about developments in the WEST. Kagankarai comes at 6, Jolarpettai at 6.40, Katpadi at 7.45 and Renigunta at 9.40 and I reach Tirupati by 10.30. The search began for the lodge and some notably Suprabath Towers and others were not in a position to lend rooms and had to settle for VENU Residency where warriors have come after completing tenancy. 

Srinivasam Complex Queue For Sarva Darshan Token; Getting Glimpse Of Lord Govinda In Tirumala

The next morning got in Srinivasam Complex Queue for Sarva Darshan in Tirumala after 4.25 AM and from 4.40 to 5.25 the line did not move and by the time I secured token it was at 5.48 with reporting time at 11 PM this very day. Instead of going at night I left for Tirumala by bus at 4.22 AM the next day (Friday) reached Tirumala at 5.15 and walked to ATGH gate and from 5.30 to 10.40 stayed outside the gate. Finally the gates opened at 10.45 and passed through different corridors. The queue stops moving at 11 and after 12.05 PM it begins to move again with no sighting of rain. At 12.30 reach Token Checking Point and I am told that reporting time was previous night so no laddus would be spared even for those having beard. At 12.50 there is first layer of frisking. Reach Compartment Number 9 at 1 and soon vacate and later there is second layer of frisking as there is heavy rush and altogether there is slow movement and none trying to engage in jest. Finally reach Bangaru Vakili (Sanctum Sanctorm) at 3 PM and Gain Fleeting Glimpse Of Lord Govinda and this is a pious moment. After writing diary in the vicinity of Vayu Lord leave Lord Govinda Temple at 3.42 and having enough laddus to be procured clue. After Collecting/Purchasing laddus collect laminated pictures of Lord Govinda and board bus after 4.40 and reach Tirupati at 5.40 and here the need to underscore Tirumala is neat and tidy. Here it becomes imperative that Sarva Darshan should begin by 8 in the morning so that each devotee has or her perfect tuning. Again This Was A Pious Darshan Of Lord Govinda And I Would Remain Ever Grateful For Letting Me Have A Glimpse And This Was Perfect Sighting Lord Govinda Innings.

Stay In Bengaluru's Yeshwanthpur And Leaving For Delhi Where There Is Guided Tour

Stay In Bengaluru's Yeshwanthpur And Leaving For Delhi Where There Is Guided Tour

Having reached Bengaluru from Tirupati with long winding traffic showing no statesman and here travelers would have come in the past from Persia dealing in monetary unit daric. The wait at Kempegowda Point was not that long with automan Mr Mahadev willing to take me to Yeshwanthpur and the much famed Royal Comfort Lodge abutting Priyadarshini cafeteria with none to be given a treatment akin to Soviet secret police chief Beria. What we reached was the back side of Yeshwanthpur Railway Station and finally making amends to reach the front section with the notable difference from  2014 was the range of new shops that had come up with none to show as EOB (Executive Office Building). 

Leaving Auto And Reaching Akshaya Lodge In Yeshwanthpur

As I left auto and reached the front section of Royal Comfort Lodge the expressive sentiment was no room could be spared below Rs 1200 and the notorious rise in tariff almost suggesting as if one was in Kentucky's Radcliff. The prevailing rate in 2014 was close to Rs 500 and this tariff of today made it entirely impossible to untread. Began looking for other lodges and came across other hotels and those with moneybags didn't cared a tittle. Finally zeroed in on Sri Akshaya Gold Deluxe Lodge with tariff looking to be inviting enough and no one could botch. With Mr Mahesh at the desk having made note of I looking for a simple room with attached bath I gained access to room number 101 with no sighting of anyone playing drum or taking a shot at drone. Took snacks from Savera outlet and night meals from Priyadarshini restaurant which not in the distant past would have received a coat of paint. The morning milk was taken from Savera followed by black tea from Sri Vinayaka Juice And Condiments. 

Visiting Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation Outlet; Visiting Friends Tailor; Here Pomegranates Galore 

As the morning was about to close and afternoon set in with none offering rose I ventured to KSTDC (Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation) outlet opposite railway station and booked Air Asia flight ticket to Delhi with surroundings not looking paly. Here gentleman going by the name Mr Yeshwant Naik was helpful. Later settled for South India Plate Meals from Priyadarshini and some hours later visited Friends Tailor with Mr Srinivas at the counter whose associates may have desired to be sailor. For stitching pant and putting button his demand was thoroughly less something not seen in the city of Delhi where there is inbuilt stress. Point to be noted pomegranates galore in Yeshwanthpur and beyond with some thoughts on Meghalaya's Shillong (Shillong Is In India). In the evening hours visited Yeshwanthpur railway station with platform ticket number 17171226 and here no one was playing any tricks. Trains to be spotted Bidar Yeshwanthpur Latur (16571) DEMU and Yeshwanthpur- Kannur and Yeshwanthpur station looking to be squeaky clean with no urgency to check weather in Minnesota town Blaine. 

Visiting Coorg Condiments And Here Milk was Great

The next morning two cups of milk from Coorg Condiments was something to cherish and the gentleman serving the same with his upright stand would have gained fame. Coorg Condiments in Yeshwanthpur is fabulous and my best wishes would always be with this store which opens up early morning hours where none snore. 

Reaching Kempegowda Airport; Reaching Delhi; Bringing Amends To Give Justice To Arts Students

Later left for Kempegowda Bus Point by auto with a Muslim Man at the helm and a thorough gentleman who may at odd interval make notings with a pen. From here boarded a bus to Kempegowda Airport (Bengaluru Airport) and deboarded at Wing I which I realised was not the one to access and took another bus to Wing II with airport staff looking relaxed and not stressed. Bengaluru Airport staff is punctual and cooperative and here a word of praise won't be out of place and here good tidings can be traced. Reached Delhi well after 6 PM with Air Asia flight making a stopover at Surat where people take yogurt. Reached Safdarjung Enclave Home after 7 PM with special praise for underpass near Delhi University South Campus where Common University Entrance Test (CUET) would have brought deserving candidates in fray with surroundings not making it essential to adjust. This country can't progress by giving step motherly treatment to those students coming from Arts Background. Enough has been brought on table for those with Science and Commerce Background and show some heart and don't make maths and analytical reasoning mandatory for Arts Students. Arts Students are being penalised so as to bring comfort level to Science Students. Thjs discrimination can't continue for long. 

This voyage to Rajasthan (Ajmer Dargah and Nathdwara) and South India was one of the best with three cheers for SUPRABATH TOWERS in Tirumala Road, Super Market in Yeshwanthpur, Sri Akshaya Gold Deluxe Lodge Yeshwanthpur, Priyadarshini Cafeteria Yeshwanthpur. Not to miss the Pious Fleeting Glimpse Of Lord Venkateswara In Tirumala was something to cherish. My Best Wishes To Tirumala Temple and hope from Alipiri Gate to Tirumala the passage would be safe with no one likely to berate.

Window For Online Booking Of Different Sevas Should Open Seven To 15 days Prior To Participation In The Said Seva; Resume Limited Special Darshan Tokens From Srinivasam Complex In Tirupati As Was The Practice Earlier

As for online booking for different sevas TTD has to devise a novel way to get things going. How can one plan a trip three month in advance? For every seva window should open seven to 15 days prior to marking your attendance and that should be the practice.  This would enable devotees to participate in seva with ease. As for Srinivasam Complex where limited Special Darshan Tokens were being given each day, it should be resumed at the earliest for the convenience of devotees. 
Tirumala Is The Most Pious Place On Earth. I Adore Tirumala And Lord Venkateswara.
