Tirupati, here I come
The weekend just got over, but with just a few hours of work in between, a two-day mini-vacation of sorts has already started for me. Am right now on the way to Tirupati for a relative’s wedding and, of course, a visit to Tirumala and a few more temples.
I love these long-distance car journeys on highways. Let me now not start the complaint about parts of this NH205 not having great road. The sun, though shining bright, is slowly getting ready for setting and am eagerly awaiting the visual treat that I am going to be presented with.
Rahman’s music is already providing me an aural treat.

Write a post on the famous Tirupati Laddu!
Nothing to beat that taste as if they add a bit of divinity in every boondhi that gets into that.

Neelesh,
Sangishyam,
Sathyamurthy,
Tirupati laddu is divine indeed!
Teal,
You should have come & taken it from me
Ramanan,
We didn’t visit Papvinasam. But I have been there before
Tej,
I love Oru Naal Oru Pozhudhu song in that!

Hi Aparna,
Me and my wife went to Tirumala this month and we had dharsan twice. Fortunately, before TTD got into new plans with respect to sevas, we both were able to get Suprapatham Dharsan and wow, what a wonderful feeling to be right in front of God. It was after a long time I got a dharsan so close. We are once again planning to there in the first week of November 2009 with our children.
Hope we will have a nice dharsan once again.
Regards,
Ramanan T K
