As my Eldest Sister & Brother in Law, Mrs. & Mr. Balakrishna Karunakaram had recently shifted to Tirupathi & as my Sister had a Desire to see me live, I planned to get down at tirupathi to meet them in person.

I then started towards the 300 Rs Queue Line. I got the 300 Rs, Ticket stamped at around 11:55 Am & waited in the waiting Hall. Hot Rava Upma was served to the devotees in the queue line & it had some tiffin as i was Hungry. The Queue Line then commenced at around 12:45pm & i got the Darshan of Lord Venkateshwara at around 1:45pm.

On Thursday, 20th Feb 2014, yet again i got the Darshan of Sri Venkateshwara Swamy at Tirumala. I started to the hills with my Brother & Sister in Law to visit Sri Venkateshwara Swamy/ Tirupathi Balaji at Tirumala. I started from Home at around 8:00 am from Alipiri at the foot of the Hill.

We then proceeded towards the 300 Rs Queue Line & got the 300 Rs, Ticket stamped at around 09:41 Am. we were directly sent to the Darshan Queue instead of being made to sit in the waiting Area. Hot Pepper Pongal was served to the devotees in the queue line & we had some tiffin as we felt that prasad was being served even before we went to visit him. The Queue Line started moving slowly & by 11:00 am, we got the Darshan of Lord Venkateshwara at the Main Temple Sanctum. I was able to see Lord Venkateshwara in Nejha Netra Darshan where in the eyes of Lord venkateshwara is not covered with the Camphor cover.
After completing the Visit, I sat in front of the Gold Gate of Vaikunta Dwaram & performed Sankalpam for all the Students who's names were provided till 19th Feb 2014.
