I have been in bangalore for the last 10 years but could never visit Tirupati. Today finally after so many years got a call from the temple and it could not have been better. I believe it was all for Gia.
We had booked a day trip through Via.com for Bangalore tirupati darshan. The tour is something that I will never recommend to anyone. You should do it on your own. Anyways, the day at the temple started with a bus ride from the Tirupati Bus stand to Tirumla Papvinashak bus stand. Gia slept through most of the ride unaware that we had plans of shaving her head for the first time. A ritual that Khushi was extremely excited about and finally it was here. Well what do I say she did not even flinch a muscle, cry so much so even sob during the whole process. She got ready and off we were to the wait for the darshan. We were at the que at 6.30 for the darshan to begin only at 9. The temple though the richest in the world was the worst at handling the que or at least our experience was horrible. But all the other events were all divine. It was as if God really was looking after Gia. She had her natural call right infront of the loo. Just when it was time to feed her Milk. The temple guys came distributing milk and when it was time for her to breakfast God sent us right next to the breakfast counter. While everyone in the temple premise waiting for the darshan pushing and shoving each other and all the other kids crying or making it difficult. Gia quietly looked around and maintained her peace. She waited paitiently for the darshan. Finally there we were right in front of the lord no pushing, shoving and a good long darshan from up front and close. No one between us and God. It was tranquil the 6 hours wait was worth every bit of it. Cant wait for the next time we go to tirupati again. This trip Gia is not just a ritual but truly a day when God made it so easy for us and took care of us while we waited for him. He was forth coming and kind. Guess this what people call Miracle.
