See Pradeep, our host and Rajeev's house in the above photos.
Our dear friend Rajeev in Cleveland introduced us to his family friends Pradeep Gade, his wife Lata and their two young sons in this trip via phone.
I was in touch with them over the phone starting from Tirupathi. Pradeep said he would have a Taxi and a reliable driver ready for us at the railway station and we could book a hotel accommodation after arrival. We arrived at 8:40 a.m. To our surprise, he himself came to the station to receive us. Helped us in carrying our luggage. We were overwhelmed with his kindness. Rajeev already told us that with Pradeep and family, we would be very comfortable as if we were with Rajeev and family. He was 100 percent correct.
His home was 11 km from the train station and after checking us into a hotel, he had to go to his office. He stopped at a hotel and found out that there was no vacancy. He walked over to another and came back saying it was not fit for us. Immediately, he called his wife and told her that he was bringing us home. We really felt sorry for her. Lata and I spoke in Tamil. She welcomed us with open arms. She also had to rush to work. She prepared Upma and set the table ready. The house key was left with the family that lived on the ground floor. They both left home for their respective work. We got ready, the Taxi with driver Rohit Singh. a young and charming fellow was waiting for us on the street in front of the house. Our tour to Naimisharanyam began.
