There was this day when I was voice chatting with my father at madurai. It was a perfect timing as my mom reached home returning from Puri. I was so excited to talk to her about her most sought anubhavam at puri. She was equally excited and started at a high pitch 'Nanda, nee illama poitiyeda...', but soon I realised she had a severe sour throat. Instead of worrying at her condition, I somehow felt so happy about her state as I know what caused that, of course the Nama Sankeerthanam what anyone would yen for. When I visualize our bhagavatha upanyam, namasankeerthanam and divyanamas that everyone enjoyed at Puri, I know I'm one of the unfortunate souls deprived of such a closer bhagavatha sathsangam. To whoever had that praptam to be with Sri Anna at Puri, my sashtanga namaskarams to all those bhagavathas.
