home sweet home....great dharshan and delicious laddus

Last week was some free time from the hectic schedule of the B School assignments and presentations. I had gone home for 5 days. After couple of weeks of mid term evaluations, assignments and presentations it was a well deserved break.

I was fast asleep on the train when the great smell of Koovam River got me back to my senses and welcomed me to Chennai. When I reached home there were steaming idly floating in sambar waiting for me. Those 5 days at home eating mom’s food was the best part of the whole stay. Here in hostel after having rotis that are nothing but a miniature version of MRF tire, some yellow semi solid thing that they term as dal and mixture of some mashed vegetable called sabji moms food was heaven. Though the dishes made my mom are always great, this time it was even more special.

I also happened to go to Thirupathi. I have been planning to go to Thirupathy for the last 5 years but some how or the other I wasn’t able to make it. Generally they say that you can get a glimpse of the Venki only when he calls you, I guess that’s true coz I have been planning a great deal over the last 5 years but wasn’t able to make it. Having waited for 5years I enjoyed great Dharshan, was standing near the God for nearly one and a half minutes. People who have gone to the temple will be really jealous of this coz they allow you to stand there for hardly 10 secs. But know what if you use the right technique and push the right thing at the right place you can also make it. There are 2 things famous about Thirupathi one is of course Lord Venki and the laddu. Believe it they have a patent for those laddus. I happened to get a better deal on laddus also, got 2 extra laddus.

Having come back to college the assignments have again started, have 4 of them waiting to be completed in the next 3 days. Probably last week was the most memorable week of this semester, will have to wait for a while now before I can go back to Chennai meet my sister, parents and friends.
