- Noop, Tirupathi is not a commercial venture. Because on an average about
- 100000 people visit the temple every day, the TTD has to meet the obligatory
- facilities requirements of the Temple town. As a result there is a problem
- of overcrowding and catering to the needs of the piligrims. This leads
- one to think that he doesn't have the peace of mind and the silence
- necessary for it.

- I have not seen anything greedy about the town; do you mean to say
- the people are greedy! All around the world people are greedy! Thats
- what brings us to USA.
