A delightful meal

2 days back I had made a day trip to a place called Shirdi, It is the place where there is the temple of the Spiritual Guru Sai Baba. Once a year I make a visit to this Temple, it's almost end of the year so I had already made a plan to travel. Then hubby's health issue came up and he was to be hospitalized so I was in two minds if I should go or not, but somewhere in my mind I was not feeling good about the idea of not going. Hubby also suggested that I should go and it was a day trip, leaving early morning and returning back by night, so I went ahead. After returning then yesterday, hubby was hospitalized and the treatment is in progress. Everything is going well.

Normally this trip is an overnight trip for me, but this time I had to do it in a day, and each way travelling is 5 hours, which makes it a total of 10 hours of train journey and it does get very hectic and tiring. I reached the temple by 11.30 and then spent around 2 hours at the temple. After that my return train was at 5.30, I had good amount of time at hand. I settled myself at one of the restaurants near the temple. It's a small town, so nothing much to do. I thought I would catch up on some work on the phone but that was also becoming difficult because of the poor internet connection.

At the restaurant I ordered a Thali. A Thali is a wholesome meal; it is like a mini buffet served in one dish. It's a vegetarian meal. There are all different types of Thalis of different cuisines like Gujarati, Maharashtrian, South Indian, Rajasthani and so on. I ordered for a Maharashtrian Thali, after a long time I ordered for a Thali. It is a big meal and not easy to finish, but on this day, I was travelling, had started early morning and till afternoon had nothing to eat, I was hungry and I thought I could finish, but I was not able to.

This is the Thali I ordered. Looks delicious right?

You can see in this meal there are appetizers, vegetables, curries, rice, dal, roti, sweet and a cooling drink. It's a full 5 course meal. After having this meal, all I wanted was a bed to take a nap, but then I just had to spend my time sitting at the restaurant. Anyways time passed and I was back at the station for my return journey back home.
