Trips to Tirupati I

I first went to Tirupathi on bike when I was in my UG, went with my school friends Mac and Satish.

Went without informing our parents that we were going on a bike, but my clever dad happnd to note the odo reading in my bike and I had a tough time explaining that my friends house was not 300 kms away.

Anyway that was the first time and could return on the same day itself. The second time was the most memorable, took of on September 12, 2001. Dont ask me how i remember the 2nd time so clearly and not the first time. Look at the date again, it was the very next day after the Sep 11 attack, watched all night the daring attack on the WTC and left early in the morning the next day.

As the story unfolded the next day we were all shell shocked. We had darshan on the same day and returned in the night, boy had a couple of near misses on the Chennai-Tirupathi highway in the night. It was fun with trepidition.

Rest of the subsequent trips in another post.
