Day 1: (21.10.10) -- The day I got a message from Baba (Through Dipikaji) that I should donate Him a coconut, I decided I will go to shirdi. Going to Shirdi was my plan from Jan 10, but for one or the other reason I could not go, but this time I dont want to compromise I stated thinking very deeply about this, I told shekar my husband "We will go shirdi" he said ok but not now, we will plan in next month, I did not agree with this, I told him very seriously "Iam going to shirdi, if you want to come inform me before 11.30pm, I will book the ticket if not I will go with my mother", and at last shekar agreed.
Day 2: (22.10.10) -- Getting tickets from here is not so easy we have to book atleast before 4 months, we are not so financial settled that we could book a vehicle. Baba came and helped us in the form of my manager Manoj, Manoj tried a lot and all the way I was just chanting "Sai Ram" while Manoj was booking the tickets and after a long time our tickets were booked, I was so happy so happy which I could not explain.
Day 3: (23.10.10) -- And another issue was staying at Shirdi, I wanted to stay at shirdi for atleast 2 days, but shekar's presence at there office was very important so he told me that we will be there for just one day as he has to attend office the next day ie tuesday (Journey from our place to shirdi is 15 hrs) I was very upset, I prayed Baba not to send us so early back from there and told shekar to just tell your boss the fact and ask him for two days leave, it was just a miracle that when shekar asked leave his boss just agreed saying "Ok Shekar I will postponed my work and will wait for you". My joy knew no bounds. And again the other issue was our return tickets, every one told me that booking return tickets was very very difficult even in Tatkal, If we go and stand in Q at 8.00 also (Opening time for booking is 8.00) we will never get the tickets, I was feeling so bad and upset but too as Baba is calling us I thought He will just make the arrangements. I came to office and I found a person in my office who always book our Chairman tickets, I asked him but he too told me the same that getting tickets is really very difficult, even WL 8 is also dangerous, it will never be confirmed. And suddenly he told me that one of our office employee has a very good relation with officials at railways so just ask him if he could. To be very frank I just did not expect any help from that person, he was Manohar, manohar is such person that he will never do any work for others, I have been seeing him from years, but too moving my burden on Baba I just called manohar and seeked him for help, he told he will try and call me. The whole day I could not concentrate on any of my work because without return tickets if was very difficult for us. It was already afternoon I did not receive any call from Manohar, I thought I will just remind him again and called him which made me feel more tensed because manohar's mobile was switch off, I became still low I just stopped talking to any one, but too I thought I will wait till evening. It was already evening but no call from Manohar, I was just praying Baba and was posting a mess regarding this at our website, then suddenly I got a call from Manohar that he is sitting in the ticket booking officer's cabin, and asked me the details of our journey, and then he confirmed me that the tickets will be booked early in the morning as it was in Tatkal, by hearing this I just started crying with joy. As manohar stays in other place and the ticket is with him, I told manohar that I will arrange some one to collect the ticket from him early in the morning, then he told me "Dont take any tesion, I have some work at your place tomorrow, though it is sunday I will come there and hand over the ticket to you".
Day 4: (24.10.10) -- This is the day of our journey to Shirdi, I stated to feel overjoy, I was just dancing and enjoying myself. Though it is my 4th visit to shirdi, I have not seen any other places inside and outside shirdi, I just saw samadhi mandir, dwarakamai, Chavadi, so I collected all the details of the places. We have to live at 4.00, but it was already 12.00 that i did not get the call from Manahor about ticket and again when I called him it was switched off. I performed pooja to Baba at home, prayed him and told Baba that it was his responsibility that we have to enjoy our trip. The moment I completed my pooja and was out of pooja room I got a call from Manahor that he is waiting with the ticket. I and shekar went to manohar thanked him for his help, though he charged us a bit more, but too it was all Baba's grace that we got the tickets. When we observe the tickets, we found that our coach was different mine was S9 and shekar was S11, shekar got totally upset, he was not at all satisfied with this, he stated to get annoyed. The moment his mood was changed I started to cry myself inside heart "Baba if shekar is like this, how can we enjoy our trip, you know if shekar is not happy I cannot be happy, kindly help me Baba" and stopped thinking about shekar, then slowly he came to normal. We left to Shirdi, our journey was quite good and safe.
Day 5: (25.10.10) -- We reached Shirdi. We went for darshan once we got freshed up, it was so surprising to me that when we went for darshan there was no crowd, we can just go directly to Samadhi Mandir. And once I saw Baba, I could not explain how happy I was. I just stood seeing My father, I could not control my tears. Though this is our 4th visit I never felt this happiness within me before, I felt as if Baba is just seeing me with a beautiful smile and saying Iam there for you always. He was dressed in a Red shovel, He was decorated with a long gold chain which was kissing His legs. His poster is printed in such a way within me that there is no necessity of any photo of Baba to pray. Our drashan was within 15 min. I was just staring at His eyes, I felt some freshness within me. I said Namaskara of all family, my friends Suresh, Dhipika ji, Akansha and shalini, prayed for them. And told him that Suresh and Dhipikaji wants to come shiridi so please call them.
Evening we went for Mukhadarshan, sat there just seeing baba, I told Him what all was going within me, I was crying like anything, now I feel so lite and more confident than before, I feel that Iam the luckiest person in this world.
And after that again we were there for Night Aarathi, as we were sitting down I could not see Baba from there as there was a large donation box, I was seeing Baba in the display over there, then after some time a security came hurriedly and took that donation box and kept that aside from which I was able to view Baba very well and I was able to forget everything and sing Aarthi to Baba.
Day 6: (26.10.10) -- This is the day when we have to come back. We planned to take darshan for another time, but when we went there it was such a large Q, when we enquired the security told us that it will take atleast 2 hrs, and we dont have time for that because we have to live for kopargoan to catch our train, though I was disappointed but too I was happy and satisfied with our first darshan, so we again went to Mukhadarshan, meditated Baba, while meditating I told Baba "Baba we thought to come once again to you, but because of this crowd we are unable to come, we are sorry for this". We had taken a coconut to Baba as wished by Baba, we donated it in dwarakamai. We visited all the places within Shirdi Dwarakamai, Chavadi, Lakshmi Bhai Shindi House, Abdul Baba Hut, Kandoba Temble, Maruthi Temple. After some shopping we were about to go back to our room then suddenly shekar observed that there was no crowd in the mandir, so he told come we will go. And this time also we could take Baba's darshan within 15 min. I cannot explain my feelings, now I feel I have everything in my life. I feel Baba is always with us, he will ever take care of us. It is true that Baba will arrange everything for one whom he calls. After vacating the room, we went to Sai Baba Thapobhoomi, spent some time over there.
And next came the part of our tickets for return journey, shekar took it cooly and when we went to one of our couch there was a guy, then I told shekar to ask him if he is alone, because I never had the habit to travel single in trains, and we were feeling that the circumstances around were also not so safe. Then when shekar was asking that guy I was just chanting "Sai Ram Sai Ram" and the guy atlast agreed to shift to the other coach. We were very happy, I thanked Baba whole heatedly, and our journey was happy and safe by the grace of Baba.
Day 7: (27.10.10) -- We are happily back to our place, we had no problem from any side. Me and Shekar both are attending our office without any problem. I can just tell one thing to Baba that "BABA I LOVE YOU, YOU ARE EVERYTHING TO ME"
