The Venkateswara Temple, Tirupati, witnessed thousands of devotees everyday. Her parents came here too with their own share of 'mannat.' Nandini was too young to know what that meant. Her attention was fixated at a group of people shaving their head.
While her parents looked away, Nandini ran towards the spot, and pocketed a fistful of hair.
Later that evening, her parents conversed, "May God cure our daughter soon."
Nandini, however, was excitedly trying out different styles by covering her head with those hair. Chemotherapy had stolen her tresses, but she was happy again today.
Her 'mannat' was fulfilled.
