TRAVEL ( 19 )

                                            TRAVEL  (  19  )     

                                                 From 25th  November onwards  Sreemathi  went outside for  regular walking either with H or C in addition to shopping . She had  more free  time unlike in Chennai. .On 26th  forenoon , after lunch , all of  us  left for the  rose  garden  , which I was mentioning in the previous   Article ..Enjoying the sceneries on either side of the  highways ,valleys, bays  lakes, attractive buildings and shopping malls, we  reached the  rose garden .We spent some good time of more than two hours . There was not much of crowd because it was a working day. We took some snaps also.  On  our way back , we visited   the Oracle Head  Quarters buildings. Of course, they were virtually closed since almost all the employees were working from home due to pandemic, except a minimum.   . We returned home  and took rest.  Hand S  had their purchase outing in the evening.

                Next day, On  27th November, after breakfast, C took S and H in his car for a round  to have a close look of  a number of major Software concern  in and around San Mateo and Sanfrancisco counties, like Google, Apple, Face book and a host of others. I stayed back at home and continued my routines. They returned by lunch time. 

                            In the evening , C,S ,H and myself went to the city known as Fremont on the  other side of the long bridge , near Hayward. The primary reason of the visit is follows.  The temple which was functioning at San Mateo had been shifted to a more convenient specious venue at  Fremont.The process of shifting was completed only two days earlier.The day we went was a Pradhosham day most auspicious for Lord Shiva.When we reached the temple , the alankaaram, aaraadhanai were going on for the deity . The priest was  none other  than Shree, Viswaprasaad Bhat of Kaalahasthi whom I  have referred to in a previous Article.  We had a nice  dharsan in thebtemple  and while returning, we met also one  Venkatesh, a classmate of Sreemathi in the Govt. Engineering College, Thirunelveli.

           Our return flight to Chennai had been booked for Friday 4th December 2020. Being left with just 6 days, we  began the process of  packing our materials.We were supposed to travel by the aircraft of Air India wih  number  AI 734 Boing.
