Temple visit

Its so amazing how indian parents can do anything for their kids.. sorry I should say any parent in this world will do anything for their kids.. When I finished my second PU and was hunting for a engineering seat with a very bad CET ranking and roaming in the unknown streets of blore on my counselling day with my mom near majestic we happend to visit a temple and my mom was very emotional about me and prayed to god that she will come back to this temple some day if all goes well. That was almost 10 yrs back ! OMGosh..

I exactly dont know what is the meaning of "if everyhing goes well" as in these 10 yrs the share of ups and downs in my life has been equal. Ofcourse the 'downs' were due to my lack of thinking ability but the 'ups' might have happened only because of the accumulated blessings and luck (do I sound silly)..

After almost 10 yrs amma and me finally manged to locate the same temple in the tiny and messy roads of chickpet. My mom was into tears when she was praying to god, I respect her emotions.. but I didnt feel rather good nor bad... it was more like one task out of my todo's. From there we atleast visited 5 temples in malleshwaram and mahalakshmi layout. Amma genuinely felt so happy and she thanked me for taking her to all these temples. Yesterday I took her to a italian restaurant and made her eat things which she said she liked,but not sure did she really like it or not. The point what I want to make is, if I want to see others happy, I should give them what they like rather than what makes me happy by giving them.. thats were the real happiness lies.. all in all todays trip was nice with so many varieties of prasada's in each temple.. and the fresh smell of flowers, aarthi, tulsi etc etc... These visits are a refresher once in a while..I think I should hop-on to temples more often..but definetly not to the temples were I can see more people than god and more voices than silence...
