Elephants of Guruvayoor and Tirumala Arijit Sevas ticket

Elephants of Guruvayoor and Tirumala
Arijit Sevas ticket

In Tirumala, the elephants seem to be in good shape but are wavering and tired by the time they retire for the day.  Perhaps a less rigorous  schedule would see them in their elements  and give them more opportunities to perform sevas in honour of the reigning  lord.    Against this the elephants of Guruvayoor are in the best frame of mind and health, perhaps to do with their young and energetic flow and a shorter schedule.

Are we to believe that the ticker that shows Thomala seva and Archana seva tickets are there for the commoners given the mass cancellation of late. The old system where the commoners had more probability to get Arijit seva tickets as the discretionary quotas were few and not robust. Nowadays the discretionary quotas take the bulk of Arijit seva tickets and the commoners are left with no hope.

It is the greed that has spawned a debate and dissension in different set-ups.


why is the greed making a comeback and how the greed quotient gets a new lease of life given the demands from your family members

The days spent in Ahmednagar and Nashik

The days spent in Ahmednagar and Nashik

Some Months of this year were instrumental in serving a good duration outside the National Capital. The exit from the National Capital was prompted by factors beyond my control and the stay outside mirrored the hardships one has to put up with while staying in areas that have spiritual quotient but commercial considerations do override them to define their set-up.
The exit was definite and the the train i boarded took a circuitous route to reach Ahmednagar. On a different occasion the direct train proved handy enough to see me reach A'nagar before evening had set in. In the months of February and March, there were four different lodges i had put in with different set of demands coming from lodgewallahs.

Ae we to believe that mayhem dealt by big moolah would be overlooked by those who have incurred the same? THe mayhem that colony securty guard private servant and private citizen dealt has been unbearable.

When you board a metro you come across different sets of people; some in sleep mode given the nights they spent in getting a grasp on a language that has evaporated from the corridors of power and evolved in the theatres of shower.
As i boarded the metro this time round, the inexplicable stand of a privat security guard who just got the elevator moving as i covered more than half the distance to get to the metro. The elevator was stranded and as soon as this privae security guard spotted me getting down. he showed reflex action and told me that he would ease my movement. Instead of doing that he did the opposite. Quite opposite to that the elevator started moving in the reverse side and i had to climb again to come down. Had he been human he couldd have waited till i got down and then brought the stranded elevator to life. He was more interested in getting me in trouble. Some private security guards like this one are a nuisance for the metro system.
And this lessened my attempt to write and observe.

The ride from Somnath was the best part of Gujarat stint apart from the stay
