Human bodies

I was watching “Naan Kadavul” a Tamil movie in last night. I was in thinking that how some beggars were being handicapped to get benefits thru’ them by some of the non-hearted brokers.

Suddenly my thinking was diverted towards human body.

Do you know what is the use of human body?

There were lots of uses that are uncountable. Will you believe?

Lot of researches were going on to know the base of human body which contains close to 50 trillion cells, that is, human body will suit any kind of climate. We must aware that “Water” won’t be there in near future, may be after 30-40 yrs from today. Will human body exist without water? Still our body works with some other chemicals :-)

Human bodies react with different types of reactions, emotion. These are for what? And why?

Do you know your age?

The answer is Yes!

Wait, one more question for you.

Do you know the age of human body?

???

What is going on with human body? Who was the creator of human body? Why human bodies are taking birth, growing day by day and finally it dies.

This is one of the nice experiences and that I can’t forget in my lifetime as I had nice journey without money in my purse :-) Will you believe me?

I was in happy to get holiday in Friday as my business days are from Monday to Friday. My friend and myself planned to visit Mantralayam, which is in Andhra Pradesh (India).

Since we planned two days before the journey, we are not able to reserve train tickets from Salem to Mantralayam, we decided to travel in unreserved compartments in train.

On Friday, there was a train to Mantralayam around 9.15 PM, unfortunately, my friend is not able to come to this journey in last moment due to some family problem. I decided that I should go alone, as I wanted to visit Mantralayam.

I started from my house to railway station around 8.30 PM, where the train arrival time is 9.15 PM. (30 mins bus journey require from my house to railway station)

I bought journey ticket for me and I paid around 135INR, finally I reached the platform and my train arrived in few minutes.

Oh… such a crowd, I thought I won’t get seat to sit, the same was happened and it was standing almost six hours (I struggled a lot to stand such long time) luckily some of the passengers get down in some station and was in seat successfully, that is around 3.00AM in the morning and do not have sleep at all.

Around 5.00AM in the morning, am getting sleep as I was in the window seat and I woke up around 8.30AM and I felt very hungry, I wanted to eat something immediately, I waited for next station to have snacks or breakfast.

Our train was almost 90kms/h fast and soon train was stopped in one of the station in Andha Pradesh, I forget the station name, I saw breakfast is available in the station, I was very happy.

I ordered two idlies and vada, which is, comes around 25INR, I opened my purse to give money, oh god! I have only 35INR in my purse and some coins around 15INR, I totally forget at all to withdraw money from ATM.

In that tension, I totally forget about my hungry at all. I asked my co-passenger that whether any ATM will available in Mantralayam. He told that he is not sure and he checked with others as I do not aware local language, and others confirmed that ATM would be there.


I was in tension and reached Mantralayam station around 1.00PM in the afternoon, I felt hungry but do not have money to buy. I walked out from the station and enquiring about the way to temple.

Oh god! I need to travel around 10kms to go to temple from railway station. Buses are not there at that time and luckily there was a share auto, the auto guy charged me 10INR to go to temple, I bargained with him to reduce the cost, he looked at me and told that “looking good and bargaining for 10INR”, mm… what to do… he do not know about my situation, finally I agreed to pay 10INR.

After 15mins of auto journey, I reached the Mantralayam temple and made a STD call to my house and informed that I have reached Mantralayam safely and I decided not to share with my mom, call completed and paid 3.50INR.

Time was around 1.45PM I felt very hungry, I prayed God Raghavendra to give some way, while going inside the temple, wow… I saw the board “State Bank of India, ATM, Mantralayam branch” I was very happy and rushed to withdraw money. I inserted my HDFC Bank ATM card in SBI ATM, it was not working, and I thought the time was continuing!!!

State Bank of India, Mantralayam branch was next to the ATM and I visited into the branch and complaint about what I faced, they informed to me that the HDFC bank software was not installed in their ATM and it was not possible to withdrawn money by using HDFC Bank card.

I decided to forget about the money problem. Anyhow, God will be there for me, to take care and trying to change my mood as am getting headache due to skip of my lunch and the time was around 3.00PM.

I was entering into the temple to have dharsan of God Raghavendra, they closed the dharsan for as it was lunchtime and the next reopen time for dharsan was 5.00PM, I felt very tired and my foots were not able to keep next step to go out of the temple. I managed somehow and walking towards exit.

God is there!!! Yeah! I saw the board in English and local language that “Free meals, take right” I was in high sprits to have free meals. I went inside and had belly fully, that is, more and more, as I do not know when I will take my dinner in night.

I came out from the temple and I was felt very sleepy due to the journey and headache. I moved next to the temple, and I saw some of the devotees are sleeping there, I went there and kept my bag as pillow and gone into deep sleep immediately.

When I was in deep sleep I heart some sounds, I woke up immediately and I turned my face towards the sound, it was from speaker and looked my watch to see the time, it was around 5.40PM in the evening.

I then decided to go into the temple to have dharsan of God Raghavendra. I was in the queue around one hour and had good dharsan (I prayed god to show some way to get money J)

I enquired about the availability of ATM in Mantralayam, a gentle man was told that lot of ATMs would be there in Kurnool which is about 100kms from Mantralayam and it was around 10.00PM in the night. I get into the bus to go to Kurnool and driver stared bus around 10.45PM; Conductor was charged 35INR as journey ticket, somehow I managed with coins.

I reached Kurnool around 1.30AM in the mid night and enquired about the availability of ATM, with stress passer and watch mans there in some shops. As advised by them, I need to walk around 2kms to go to ATM. I was in confident that I will get money and hired an auto around 2.30AM (Imagine, I do not have money in my hand).

Auto driver and myself roaming around the city about 25mins, and ATM’s are not available. I was in little bit tension, as I need to pay at least 50INR to the auto driver and the problem between the auto driver and me was language, he do not know Tamil or English and I do not know local language “Telugu”.

The auto driver also not able to identify ATM and asked me to get down and demanding for 150INR, I slowly informed about my situation and asked him to take me to the near police station to get some help and he was a driving auto at his age of 18 (a small boy) and do not have license to drive auto, he is not willing to come to police station.

I convinced him to take me to last ATM which 0.5km from the place, while going I recalled the “Information kit of usage of my ATM” they mentioned that by using same card, I can withdraw money from Canara Bank.

I reached the ATM and it was ATM of Canara Bank, I went inside the ATM, put my card and I saw that it was asking my “PIN” oh…. I was very very happy and typed my password… wow… I get into it and requested for 3000INR… wow… money came out from the ATM and 3000INR in my hand, I looked the auto driver, he was also in happy by seeing my smile in my face!!!

I paid 150INR to auto driver and asked him to take me to some good hotel to sleep, I checked in to the room and slept happily.

Next day fine morning, I had my breakfast and enquired about my return journey whether do I have any train from Kurnool? The feedback is I need to travel back to Mantralayam to get direct train to Salem around 1.00PM the time was around 9.30AM.

Reached Mantralayam by 11.00AM, so I have two hours in my hand for my train and decided to have dharshan of God Raghavendra again. Due to rush in temple, am not able to come out before 1.00PM. Finally I missed my direct train to Salem.

I had my lunch and lefts to bus stand to go to Salem via Chennai/Bangalore. Again the time started for me, bus timekeeper informed to me that all buses to these cities will be there only in the evening that too after 7.00PM.

I can’t be stay till 7.00PM, as I need to be there in office next day morning. I decided to go to Salem city by city. Hope I have some relationship with Kurnool because via Kurnool only I need to travel again.

My route was in different bus from Mantralayam > Kurnool > Bellary > Anantpur > Bangalore > Salem.

After lot of struggles I was get down in Salem next day morning around 8.30AM.

I learnt different types of experience in this journey.
