Pilgrimages for some
are done as a routine, or on special festivals or when people come visit
their native shores for vacations. For some it is a rejuvenation, for others,
it becomes a part of the holiday season when the family can spend
precious time together. For us… it has
to be decreed…It was never ever taken on our own will and vision..To drag
Santhosh to the nearest temple is a mammoth task, and a losing battle, and now
find it easier to go and converse and bask in the Lord’s glory alone.. So this time the decreed destination was Pillayar petti.. a drive of
around fifteen hours, and he couldn’t wait to be there and asked me to put
aside a close wedding…I was adamant that we go for the wedding, and the next
day we set off.. For Santhosh, the wheel is his pal and soulmate..he shares the
most intimate conversations and bares his heart out and also schemes and plots
and plans with the wheel in his hand, and for me as soon as the seat belt is
fastened, sleep drifts in and blissful slumber..
