hyderabad, 22 feb, bharata yatra 2008,
\nwe crossed karnataka then into andhra state. after some distance\u00a0 our car broke down in the middle of the road. it wouldn’t even move from the spot. there were no apparent reasons why it should not move. where we broke down, there was a temple nearby and a festival was going on! so it was\u00a0 such a crowded highway.<\/p>\n
we found out that the gear box had gotten jammed!! so it cannot even be pushed to the side. there was no other way out. we thought that if the vehicle cools down maybe we can do some thing.
\nso we stood in the middle of the road and took care of the traffic. i was standing on one side and started taking control of the traffic. redirecting the vehicles.
\nafter two hours we could push the vehicle to the side while it is still stuck in the gear. how? we dont know. amma’s grace.<\/p>\n
we tried to contact some service station and get mechanics. who will come at this time? it was 2.a.m on a cold night, 113 km away from hyderabad. when we explained our situation, the company service center was ready to send their mechanics. but it would take 3 hours for them to reach. so we spent the whole night on the road, trying to save ourselves from the dust, some hide and seek with the mosquitoes.<\/p>\n
there are situations in life, where human effort is so useless. you need time to achieve the result and others’ blessings.\u00a0 so we waited. we just have to accept. say yes.<\/p>\n
by 8 a.m we could drive the vehicle again. we reached hybd at 2 pm. at 6 pm amma’s pgm starts, just 4 hours to prepare … to sleep. good night<\/p>\n
