The Great Escape

Today we happened to see a wonderful sight during our usual short walk after lunch. One kite was crying for help with its leg got stuck in its victim's nest and hanging. Soon we saw two or three kites coming and keep pulling the sufferer from the nest. The effort from the kites resembles of a fighter plane's attack. Finally after 20 minutes of crusade the kite got freed.

Well deserved effort from the crusaders.

In search of god

On my recent visit to Tirumala, I went for the Archanantara Darsanam seva which starts at 4:30 am in the morning. The darshan of the lord was good and for longer period than my previous visit, the reason being they had put a wooden platform before entering the main shrine(Nice to have). Went to tiruchanoor(i missed out during my first visit) and the place was crowded because of brahmotsavam happening. The event was being telecasted in the giant digital display kept outside(A good arrangement).

We took up the package trip by aptdc and I can say that overall arrangement was quite good.

Bus journey - no more a pain

Bus journey always been a painful for me as most of the bus does not have ample leg space. However I had a chance to travel in a sleeper bus wherein I felt really comfortable. Though we do have to adjust in a twin-sharing berth(quite big), the journey was good . The only problem I faced was whenever the driver applied the brake suddenly or took a sharp turn; I was sliding all the way. Believe the bus journeys are not painful nowadays.
