A visit to Sri Kalasthi temple,Andhra Pradesh

It was 10 pm on a Pongal night! - The 14th January.........Mom's voice was heard, "Go and sleep right now we have to wake up early at 6 am and we have to go Sri Kalasthi Temple at Andhra Pradesh".
"Yay!"..."good night everybody see you guys at 5 am tommorow!'

Cook-a-Doodle-Do!.......Alarms ringing from sides......Woke up Finally after snoozing the alarms a few times."Phew!! Who the hell introduced this Alarm clock!!"

Family was ready and we started our journey at 6:30 am......To Andhra Pradesh On our Maruti Suziki Ertiga at AH 45.....zooming at 80-100 kmph!...in the dark morning roads.....Our Monster - The Ertiga..... was on its way to Sri Kalasthi, Andhra Pradesh.

7:30 am my stomach was weeping.."I am hungry...I am hungry"....
Searching...searching.....No Restaurant on AH 45 .....Reached A place called Tada. It is the border of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. Entered its territory at 8:30....took a diversion. Even on the route from Tada to Sri Kalasthi.....not a single restaurant .......Finally reached Sri Kalasthi at 9:30 and went to a Hotel and had A Heavy Breakfast....."Phew!! My stomach was happy and full".

A few 100 metres away from the Hotel Was the Temple - Sri Kalasthi Temple......Entered the temple and had a good Darshan......Then we came out of the Temple and started our way back to Chennai at 12:30 pm
Had food only at Chennai......at 2:30 pm but en route we had a few fruits in order to be fresh and not feel hungry.
