THEN GURUJI LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND GAVE A BIG SMILE........MY MIND WENT COMPLETELY BLANK........NOBODY TOUCHED ME OR PUSHED ME AS I WALKED TO HIM..........I WAS NOT ABLE TO LOOK ELSE WHERE ....NOT EVEN WHERE I WAS WALKING......GURUJI'S EYES WERE SO SO CAPTURING...THEY COMPLETELY FILLED ME WITH DELIGHT.......I WENT NEAR TO HIM....HE ASKED ME WHERE I WAS FROM.......I SAID I WAS FROM HYDERABAD.........I SAID " GURUJI WILL YOU PLEASE WRITE SOMETHING FOR ME IN MY DIARY" ........GURUJI LOOKS AT ME AND GIVES ME A BIG SMILE AND TOUCHES MY HEART AND SAYS" I WILL WRITE IT IN YOUR HEART"......I TOUCHED HIS FEET AND HE LEFT ....IT WAS A FEELING THAT I COULD NOT PUT IN WORDS.........I THINK I WAS THE ONLY ONE AMONGST THE PPL STANDING THERE WHO COULD HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH GURUJI..............THAT NIGHT I COULD NOT SLEEP PROPERLY...........I FEEL GURUJI HAS LITERALLY WRTTEN SOMETHING FOR ME IN MY HEART........I WAS SOO SOO BLESSED TO MEET HIM...... :)
