It was around noon time, after a sumptuous meal at home, started our journey to the lord of hills, Tirupati. Rightly so, as newlyweds, it's a habitual practice to visit the temple and seek His blessing and thank Him for everything around. More than anything, it was an escapade from the city’s madness and routine to be in peace and tranquility.
The drive along was swift and serene, with a blend of foot-tapping and soulful music to give you company. Right after reaching, we did try our hands at some Andhra delicacies at a famous joint. Mom was more than happy as she was visiting her father’s native and dad was enjoying the company and the outing.
4 am and it was time to get going. Myself and hubby, Ananth, were excited about the do as we had planned to trek the seven hills for the first time together. I was mentally prepped up and I knew the pros and cons about it as it was my fifth time trekking, but it was all new to my hubby dear. But being an athlete he is, it was more or less of a cake walk for him, thanks to his fitness and robustness. It was a sight to admire seeing the nature’s beauty, amidst pilgrims who were trekking along. The sun rose above the horizon and it was our eyes that captured the candid photography of the beauty around. We babbled all our way and within no time, we were in Tirumala, in just three hours, fastest record so far for me.
Parents were taken care by my uncle who’s a localite there. We joined the chaos and the scores of people who had come from boundaries across. As a matter of fact, Tirupati doesn’t get any better in this regard as the religious beliefs and faith in the lord never ends. Could spot a lot of newlyweds along, just like us. It took two hours for us to arrive at the moment, seeing the magnanimous, rich and eye catching shrine of the Lord Balaji. Just thanked Him for everything that happened and is happening in my life, for getting the love of my life, Ananth, into my life and paid my due respects!
Yet again, it was a wonderful time with parents post marriage to spend. They were as joyous as we were about the whole do.
