Journey to Tirupathi - Part 4 - 31/10/06

Dad completely missed the guy and strolled away... luckily my sister picked him up with a placard with my dad's name on it... otherwise we could have lost a few minutes there...

My first impression of this guy was mixed... He looked sort of lazy but sharp. Anyways we picked up our luggage and deposited into the taxi (an indica). We started out from bangalore at exactly 5:30 p.m. and he assured usthat we will be reaching our destination in approximately 5 hours...

Tirupathi is about 300 K.M from bangalore and i thought 5 hours is a bit too much for that distance but kept quiet. Why hurry this fellow and why spoil the journey.
