Chennai to Nagoor

After reserved the ticket on friday morning. myself and my family have left from my house at 9.30pm. we took auto to reach "eldams road bus stand". around at 10.00pm we got the koyambedu bus.after 45min of travel we reached koyambedu. My first frustration started here.as i was very thirsty i planned to buy a cookdrinks. i went to the near by shop and asked for "miranda" a lady who was taking care of the shop said its Rs.60/- i took the miranda bottle and saw the rate mentioned on the bottle.
it was only mentioned Rs.50 i was wondored and asked the lady why is it so, she replied, if you want take it, else keep it there itself. i kept there and searched for another shop i found all the shop have increased the price more than normal price. that too hike of 8 to 10 rupees. then i left with no other option. i bargained and got miranda for 58 rupees. meantime appu bought the "sprite" from other shop for same price. since one bottle is sufficient i dicided to return miranda to the shop. i went to the shop and returned the bottle, a boy, who took care of the shop said, he won't take back the product once its sold. after a few minitues of verbal fight he took the bottle and paid the money back.

By the time we finish bus came, and i led my family into the bus. we all took the reserved seats which are alloted for us. after few minitues driver started the bus. i was thinking about the increased prices of the products on the koyambedu shops.
when i asked the sales person,he said, in bus stand the price are like this. actually i had the money to pay what they wanted , but still i can't tolerate the price hike on those shops, especially if it happens to any poor how they would suffer, iif its goes like this no poor will survive in the world. by seeing all this i was wondered what the government is doing, are they doing any good for people of tamil nadu or elsewhere in india. meanwhile i felt sleepy, slowly i went to sleep.
after 8hrs of travel we reached nagoor.

Mount Road "Kodi' - 05-06-2008

As i planned i got the leave for vacation, on thursday evening at 9.00 pm i went along with my famil to see "kodi " in mount road danda. this is the festival happens every year on particular day as per muslim calander. when i went there was so many people around the danda. as usual myself and vinoth have stayed on the corner and we were watching the proceeding of the kodi.
after some time , they raised the kodi and started "sandanakudum" procession. myself and my family members have tried to get the glimpse of the "danda sannidhi". but we couldn't. then we started to distribute the food for other devotees ,for those who came to see the kodi, meantime we heard the sound saying "bring the food here before distribution" then i turned and saw the boy. who was around with so many mens. all devotees who brought their "prasada" took those to him and he blessed then they started to distribute. I was also waiting on that queue along with my family. i was ashamed to be part of that queue to get the blessing of a human. people were pushing in all corners. finally we met him and he blessed the food and my mother gave him the cloths which she brought it for poors. finally we distributed the foods to the devodees and poors. and started to leave from there.
