PREPARATION

"Hullo! is it Mr. Benarji on the line?

"Yea.. Yea.. I'm Benarji from Calcutta. Are you, by the way Mr. Moorthy, Proprietor of Message Publications, Tirupathi?"

"Well guessed, how? Shall I then presume, you are the very same man ringing up since morning, seeking help for your trip to Tirupati for Balaji's Darsan?"

"Yea-Yea-the self same Benarji awaiting to hear your voice only from your end."

"Sorry for the disappointment. As I was held up in the computer office unduly I came home just now. What can I do for you, please tell me?"

"A lot and lot and lot. All but about our pilgrimage, starting on sighting green signal from you and assurance of guidance."

"Thank you a lot for such confidence in me, but I'm neither a Tourist Guide, nor officer- in- charge, although I've been in the service of that All- Time Highest Balaji Bhagawan and His devotees for over a decade now, supplying adequate information on temples. Anyway, tell me the details of your trip when and how many are visiting, and by what means?".

"Let me first congratulate you for the fine temple books you have published, and they are illumining the pilgrims to such an astonishing degree that the readers are contacting the Tourist Offices on phone to fixing dates for journey, setting aside all their urgent work. Hear me, a close chum of mine, Trivedi from Bombay made a trip to Tirupati immediately on reading a write -up published in your Aalayaas of Andhra Pradesh Book. Oh! his joy is boundless and feels that in his 45 odd years of life and two decades of Representative Career, there is no trip to any temple town equals to it, and it is the most unforgettable event in his life to be locked up in memory to be cherished for ever."
