I arrived at Anantnag around 6 pm, whole city was closed. No one
was there without army and few people. Only one market was open, I asked there
for accommodation, they suggested going to Martland. I went there around 7 pm;
all the doors of the temple were closed. Someone suggested to go at a
Gurudwara, it was around seven kilometer away. I drove for two kilometers and
asked address to one person, he suggested to stay at Martland temple. Again I
came back and requested to police. They checked my luggage and gave permission
to stay. I went inside, met to Pujari, he gave a bed in a hall. I asked about
food, but they said, everything is closed, its not possible to get food. I was
so hungry, there was no food from morning. I just sat there and started
thinking about the day. I was thinking about the food, but it was not possible.
After some time a middle age lady came there. She
looked at me and asked, Beta, Khana khaya hai kya?
I said, No Mataji. I am going to do fast today.
She said Beta, come to my home for dinner.
I said, it’s ok Mataji, I will manage without food.
She said, If you want to stay here, you
have to take dinner at my home.
I went to Dharmashala and became fresh, prepared to sleep, did not
go to her home for dinner. She came again and called me, I went with her. She
requested me to sit in the kitchen. She
served me hot and fresh food. She made special Kundru subji for me. It was
really tasty food, and I never had such food in my life. She served the food
with love, she treated me just like her own Son. Nobody fed me like her. She
said you are my son, whatever you need ask me. i was thinking that we knows
each other from just one hour and how she is dealing with me. I became a family
member. It was a great experience to experience the mothers love.
