Hi !

My name is Raghav. I am new to this World, and to the World of blogs !

My parents Kiran & Preethe claim to be regular bloggers but now I find that they are no-where near regular !!

Well, about me, I am 20 day old fair, tall (relatively) and well-built guy ! I sleep for about 18-20 hours a day.
The rest of the time, I am surrounded with people making different faces and sounds. They think these amuse me !! Somebody please tell them, it does not !

And why do people see every action of mine so critically.
  1. I don't leak for 10 hours, people get worried !
  2. I cry for more thank 10 minutes and everything at my house stops !
  3. I don't get sleep in the night and sleep the whole of next day !
I had so many visitors, I was thinking it would continue for ever !! Now, reality has stuck me. No visitors in the past 2 days ! Why ? Anyways, I now have time to enter the world of Bloggers !!

Its a tough life out here. I am trying to get used to it as soon as possible.

Write to you all soon about my other experiences.

In the meanwhile, why don't you people comment on how to tackle all the paranoid people at home !!

Regards

Raghav Kiran

this morning, i visited Chilkur Balaji temple near hyderabad.

this god is said to be very powerful in helping people get VISAs, with specialization in US VISAs.

this temple is quite unique. the things that stuck me are - no donations, no separate queues (Rs. 10, Rs. 50, etc...) neither are there any 'hundis' for collection. this temple attracts large number of volunteers, who support the temple staff in various activities like serving prasad, regulating the queue, etc.

to make a wish, you make 11 'pradakshan' and once it is fulfilled, you make 108.

small temple with very little space and large number of devotees going round in circles.

i was sitting aside, watching the various people walking around the main temple. some observations

1. an interesting observation that stuck me was that more than 70% of the people making pradakshans were in the age group of 25 - 35. Why ??

2. people are in a mad rush to complete either 11 or 108 rounds. what is the hurry ? are they running a race ?

any views !!!
