"I am busy right now.... I can see you around noon". The priest seemed so accommodating in the midst of his tight work schedule. So we waited. More than a hour. He was so kind. He called us at a quarter to 12. And handed us a piece of paper with the dates and "good times" for the muhurtham.
We rushed in the pouring rain. It was almost 9 pm. We had to see the priest before the temple closed. And we wasted precious time getting change... in case we had to give some dhakshinai. At 9 we were at the temple. "The chief priest has left. Please come at 4 pm tomorrow". So we left.
At 4 pm, we were rushing at breakneck speed. We cannot afford to be late. "Please wait. He will be here anytime." So we waited. He came, and talked to us. "Please wait for the other priest." Then he got busy. "He will see you after the abhishekam, please wait." How kind of him. The abhishekam was over at last. It was 5.30 pm. He came over immediately. So considerate of him. "Please go to the office and get the dates". So we went to the office. "We don't have dates for 2010 yet. The panchangam is not here yet". So we went home.
