My Birth

Location : Bangalore

Way back in 1984, my parents were told by the doctors that they would never have a second child again ( 9 years after my sis was born to them ). Just when they gave up after trying out every possibilities, they found a ray of hope when someone told them about Lord Venkateshwara and its divine power, and suggested that they do a darshan and see if their prayers are answered.
My mother wasnt a believer of God, my dad wasnt much either. During darshan, my mother challenged Lord Venkateshwara and said "Lord, i have heard a lot about you, and people do tell me about your existence and the miracles that you have done in the past and still doing, if you really exist, please give me a child, that too a boy, then maybe i will believe that you really do exist!" ( Dad was not aware about this )
And exactly a year later..here i come! :) :)
My dad came in after the nurse announced it was a boy. Mom looked towards dad and said "Do you remember our Tirupati darshan? I had asked Lord Venkateshwara for a baby boy" Dad answered with a smile "Did you know that i too was praying for the same when you were praying?" Mom smiles and says "Really? We owe this to Lord Venkateshwara then. After this i believe that he really does exist!"
My parents called me Venkatesh Prasad for sometime, later changed to Sachin :)
