Taking inspiration from my writer friend Vasudhendra, we decided on temple darshan the hard way — 1008 steps straight up. By step 10 I was huffing like an old steam engine 😅 Niha looked at me, concerned, and said “Ammaa, you go ahead and stay down.” I laughed out loud and told her, “No way. I’m the Malathi — one and only. I don’t quit.”
So I climbed. Slow. With lots of pit stops to catch my breath, and to steal moments of cool misty breeze, birdsong, and the city slowly unveiling itself below like a painting. An hour later, legs aching but heart full, I reached the temple. The temple was enveloped in mist. Totally worth every step.
It took us an hour . we gave each other a high 5 and said 'yaay we did it. one of the wish in my bucket list ticked off..
