Mom was packing luggage and Stuff for our trip. We planned to leave for Tirupathi, as I got selected for TCS and was called for Training at Trivandrum,Kerala the next month. We left on that evening along with Mom's Brothers and their families. We reached there by 7 in the morning and we were planning to reach Tirumala taking the Pedestrian path. The problem is, we have to book a room on Tirumala hill before we reach there by walk. So, me and two of my uncles along with my Dad left to Tirumala by hiring a Jeep and took care of the proceedings with rooms and locking luggage in them. My Dad was little weak to walk up,so he said that he'll be staying in Room and we thought of going down and walk up again through the steps, as we usually give it as offering along with our hair to Lord Venkateswara. By the time we are done with booking the rooms, the remaining pupil walked up to the hill. So, we took our lunch and left to the start point of the Walk-way up to Lord Venkateswara's Tirumala.
There were 3550 steps, and nearly 7 KMs to be covered up to reach the destiny,heaven(Tirumala) where Lord Venkateswara is said to be treated as Living there, even now. It would take approx. 4 to 5 hours to walk those 7 divine hills and I thought, it will be fun walking along with my brothers and cousins. But as they all left earlier, i had to walk with my uncles which would be comparatively boring. We started our journey through pedestrian path at Alipiri.
As I have guessed, the journey was quite boringly and dead slow. We were sorry 'They were' taking breaks, to relax of 10mins for every 5mins of walk i.e., for every 10 or 15 steps. And they started talking of 'how to change Indian politics and can Chiranjeevi do it?!! (lolzz)'. Im not sure, whether to participate in their discussions or not. If I do, Im sure they are not gonna agree with me and views about politics and our politicians and if I'm not saying a word, they would say 'why are you so, arrogantly walking? what's wrong with you!'. So I called up God to help me out saying, "Govindaa Govinda!" with which I want to carry my message, "Oh God!, pleaseeee help me!!". And instantaneously, He showed me the Way out to Heaven, that it is the moment I saw her for the first time! who was walking next to Us.
In the begining, she started the journey with her parents and then, as they were climbing too slowly she was moving herself alone up the hills!. She used to glance at me,when she takes a break and looks down, when we move towards her, as I was starring at her like a small boy looking out for an ice-cream (lolzz). The Silent looks between us went for almost for half an hour and then I started giving her a smile. And I was amazed to get back hers everytime oops not Everytime..sometimes ;) and We reached "Gaali Goopuram", which means we crossed 1000 steps,and where we took a loooong break of half an hour and She disappeared from my sight.
