My 2nd website under 1000 Websites Project is Famous Places in India Website, check http://www.famousplacesinindia.in 



I am working on this website from last 5 months, started in December and completed first version in February and completed second version on 20th April 2017. Added 966 cities information (my target is 1000 cities) and 173 places information.



I planned to start at 4AM, but I started at 5AM. 


on NH5 near Prathipadu

My route map


I reached Anakapalli around 9AM and completed breakfast and reached Borra Caves around 12:30PM. All the way I got thoughts like, why I am going, if I didn't got any new projects, it's waste of time and money, but I controlled my thoughts with, LET'S TRY, NOW or NEVER. Few clicks during journey on Anantagiri Hills. 








The Borra Caves (also called Borra Guhalu in Telugu Language) are located on the East Coast of India, in the Ananthagiri hills of the Araku Valley. The caves are one of the largest in the country and consist of irregularly shaped stalactites and stalagmites. It is also considered as the deepest cave in India.





















Borra Caves are amazing, felt scary inside caves, because of less crowd and I stayed till 2:30 PM. 

Araku Valley is 37 kilometers from Borra Caves, rain started when i am going to Araku. So I gave up here and started return journey at 3 PM, and rain stopped me in 4 different places. 


I reached home at 10:40PM. I stopped in Anakapalli for snacks and in Annavaram for prasadam. 
Finally new post after many days, tomorrow I am going to go Araku. It's the route map.



I met Chinnababu (in short Chinna) in Tirumala Trip when I am trying for lockers, he is from Rajahmundry (60 kilometers from my home town). He already completed darshan once and he want to go darshan on Vaikuntha Ekadashi, very positive and enthusiastic person. Earlier I decided to return home without darshan, but he convinced me to go darshan by keep luggage in queue line counter.
We are in contact with each other on Facebook.

Vaikuntha Ekadashi is the Shukla paksha Ekadashi that occurs during the Dhanur month in the Hindu calendar (corresponding to late December - January in English calendar). Vaishnavism (Worship of Vishnu) culture believes that 'Vaikuntha Dwaram' or 'the gate to Lord's Inner Sanctum' is opened on this day.

It is widely believed that the gates to the heaven open - the Gate of Vaikuntha - on the Vaikunta Ekadasi day. It is one of the most auspicious days in Vishnu Temples in South India.

Earlier in 2015 I visited Tirumala on Vaikunta Ekadashi, I felt very very happy, I also want to visit every year, but in 2016 I didn't got a chance to visit. This year(2017) Vaikuntha Ekadashi is on 8th January, and they allow into queue complex on 7th for Vaikuntha Ekadashi darshan. I started my journey on 6th at 8 AM from home and reached Tirupathi at 10 PM and I reached Tirumala at 11:30 PM.




Huge crowd on Vaikunta Ekadasi 

I saw huge crowd, I felt sad, as I planned I tried for lockers (where we can kept our belongings and went for darshan) but all lockers are filled. Another way is to keep it them luggage counters in darshan line, but I don't like it, so I decided to return home, I decided to stay till 3AM and return, because busses will start running after 3AM. 

I met Chinnababu when I am trying for lockers, check how I met Chinnababu
He said we will go for darshan by keeping our belongings in luggage room, so I agreed. 


Chinnababu

We went for darshan after completing bath, we entered queue complex at 7AM and then we stayed next 20 hours in that complex. We spent time by reading newspapers and watching movies played by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams.

We completed darshan at 5AM on Vaikuntha Ekadashi.




After darshan, we returned to Tirupati. In Tirupati I have a meeting with my client, Chinnababu said, he will go. I went to Srinivasa Castle 



Met Surya Constructions MD Bhaskar garu & discussed few changes in their website www.suryacon14.com


I returned home on Double Decker Train, it's the first time for me in double decker train. 





Finally I reached home on 9th January 2017 at 9AM.
I designed my first website for Born Survivor Mission Saviour (BSMS) Trust under "1000 Websites Project". Check it www.BSMS.org.in
So how I got the project?


I saw an article about Neehari Mandali, a burn victim, she faced many problems in her life, in her words..

"Being a victim of burns I faced many problems, struggled a lot for years, as a victim I know how a burn victim think and the problems they face in society and they need help. For that reason I started Born Survivor Mission Saviour (BSMS) Trust."

So I contacted her on facebook, I requested her to design website for their trust, she accepted my offer and I designed www.BSMS.org.in for free.


Reached Tirupati around 11PM and reached Tirumala around 12AM in another bus. I kept bag in locker, completed bath and went for darshan. completed darshan around 8AM, got laddus and returned to Tirupati.
Reached Tirupati around 11AM, and I got train to Samalkot, it's a new train, so I got seat in general, reached Samalkot around 11PM, and reached home around 12:30AM.
