This pilgrimage was God's gift to me - my clients for whom I was doing some web work invited me to come over to Kullu for a short holiday to release the tensions I had undergone putting up a unit in IT Enabled Services. God has His ways of rewarding and this was the most splendid holidays I had as I was in company of friends who today are responsible for the transformation in me and awakening me to the call of the Divine. God blessed our connections by now having us work together in the Divine Valley of the Gods on IT Projects - this dream I had never ever visualized.
