Today was my usual Saturday visit to the famous Kapaleeswarar temple in Mylapore. I find solace in standing in front of Her Gracious - Goddess Karpagambigai - and praying to my heart's content. I finished the pradhakshinam, and sat in my usual place, near a pillar. As I observed people who walked by, 2 people caught my eye - both of whom earned my instant hatred.
Lady A: Was walking up and down the praharam, talking loudly in her cell phone. I need not elaborate. If that call was so important to her, she should have taken it outside the temple, not within, and disturb the others. This is precisely why, I don't take my cell phone when I go to the temple.
Man B: Wearing a shorts, that one would probably wear when they have a beer afternoon with friends, trailing his wife and carrying her purse. What did he think when he entered the temple wearing something like that? I wonder, would he wear that for a board meeting, or would he even wear a panchakacham to work.. then why wear shorts to the temple...
All I could do was only grumble today. May be next time, I'll talk to the temple authorities...

I've stopped taking my phone to office also, it has just become an add-on in life. I prefer to keep it on silent and off most times now.
