An Appointment with God

The very few holidays that we get here in reliance especially the that which we get on saturadays are precious, and so my group of friends Prahlad, Anshul,Himanshu and Jay we thought initially to go to Mahabaleshwar but have to revert back as for pacifying the craving eyes for the beautiful nature will take more than 2 days that which we GET's can't afford.

So a Conses was developed and we all agreed to arose some sprituality by having the Darshan of
Shirdi Wale Sai Baba as he is publicly known. The initial preperation started with booking of the Tickets for shirdi in AC bus as it was highy imphasised by Anshul. A incident broke as we were ready to embark , while returning the balance amount the Agent handed me an extra 100 bucks, when i counted them i thought of returning the money back but wanted to take the opinion of my collegues and unanimously agreed the noble deed.

Finally we boarded the bus after waiting for more than an hour, it was a comfortable one with the serene ambience, While on our way there was i high traffic jam and it would have taken hours if we would have waited there for its clearance, but our shrewd driver took an another adventourus root with lots of Hills as they were revered by Himanshu.
We all landed at the pious land in the morning and after a bath we went to meet the diety for which we were having an appointment ,I dont know how much i waited for that divine moment,
on reaching the temple we were a bit confused were does the Holy Shrine was but finally Got there ,with thousand of other devotees chanting bhajans, The diety was at its best we can think of in mind, as if most of my wishes were fullfilled on seeing him.

After we took a dinner in the Common Hall simultaneously with huge number of people, it was totally a diffrent experience , with a curious question of how could they manage such a huge mass lunch that to with a too cheap price.

We get back to the Hotel to start an another journey to Shani Singnapur which is 70 Km away from here, as we went we have to take a fresh bath while wearing a saffron Cloth around our body, it was an unusual and unique way of praising the lord.

We took another bus for returning to Mumbai, but it was among the coolest(in terms of temperature) as we kept on shiviring in the bus, finally landed to mumbai in wee hours of the day, with some unforgettable memoirs of my life.
