My Final Year Tour-

At one in the night . Its the perfect time to blog if u have energy when all words sleep u r left undisturbed to pen your thoughts . ILast week i went to Munar. This was to be a special one as we are winding up our college life in another one month . Organizing a tour itself a big achievement and all credit should go to one particular person G d . Had it not been for this guy this plan wud hav got dropped . After zoomin in on the placce - Munar ( heard that it was good ) v made boardin arrangements throu one of my hostel friend .

V started our journey on The morning of Good Friday . As usual I am the last person to join the troop . The start got delayed by ten min coz of me . We picked up our classmates on our route yo outskirts of city . Its 14 hrs travel from chennai . The travel was very hard as it was not easy travelling through the dry lands of TamilNadu . It was very hot . After breaking at regular intervals for refreshments we started slimbing the hills at about nine . The journey was then delayed by two hours . The road had many hair pin bends and its really tough to sit inside the bus . I was sitting along with the driver for the most part of the journey . Just at the top of the hill when our resort looked nearer at abt 10 kms , we heard that the road is blocked due to work goin on in layin out optical fibres . This is the problem in India . Users are taken for a ride by public offices . So v came all the way down the hill and took the route in other side of the hill . The path was very steep and many a time it looked like v wud fall anytime . Atlast due to Gods Drace and drivers skill v reached the place by four in the morning . Everyone was damn tired and found their way straight to their bed .

V got up at abt ten and got ready for trekkin . I was incharge for arranging this . PPl were ptretty tired . V could have postponed the trekkin to next day . But for girls evrynone found energy . We walked for abt 4 Kms . The place was full of green all around . After reaching the factory at abt 12 ( V r supposed to reach by 11 )
v started climbing the tea estate . It was an excellent view from the narrow roads that carried as along the hill. It was tea plantation all the way . A few girls got tired and took rest at a staff quarters . After walking for abt 6 kms v reached the top of hill . Its an wonderfull experience for all of us . Everyone looked tired and exhausted . Then we started walking towards a lake some 2-3 kms from the place . We reached the lake by two thirty tired . V had a sense of achievemnt - satisfaction of completing a marathon in olympics . We had our lunch there played cards tooks shots and took an auto back .I was made incharge of carrying girls from auto to factory . I hunted 2-3 trips . I would have better enjoyed walking down all the way back . V did not visit any other place . too tired ..just slept the whole nite - ofcourse after playing cards till one in the night .

The next day we visted Top station - highest point in Munar . Its a a beauty to look at the hills from the top surrounded by mist .at its peak . The mountain ranges are quite steep in munar compared to other places . V visited a dam enroute to top station . on the way back we went for boating in another dam . It was a great place for boating with enough water. Its a beauty to watch water bodies surrounded by tall mountains . On the way back v paid a visit to Dr. House who helped us arrange the whole trip .Tht nite v shopped in Munar . Except for tea , spices and a few art materials there was nothing big to shop in the town . The whole town itself is quite small hardly one sq km..I bought strawberry jam for Rushy & Senthil . Both seem quitte happy with it .

The next day we went To rajamalai hills . Its a natural sanctuary to protect nilgiri goat . It was another nature s beauty . We could c clouds moving at shoulders height . Everyone was stoopified by the scenary and shot out hazaar photos . We went to a falls and a temple on the way back . Tht nite v had camp fire . I was made MC of the fn . Our class topper helped me out .That evening i would have spoke more than what i had spoken all the four ears combined with her .

The next day mornin we started our journey back . On the way bacj we stopped at thekadi . The boating there was an excellent experience . It was quite rainy and v enjoyed the whole sight . v could c elephants and deers . I was given the sole responsibility of photographing the those natural scenaries . Its a recogonition of creative sense i had shown my friends before . I did a good job . It was almost six by the time we came out of the sanctuary . We started our journey back and reached chn the next day mornin . Travellin is the worst part of the journey with quite a few vomitting in the middle . but for that the whole trip went on well. I enjoyed the beauty of Munar . those mist ,plantations ,beautiful flowers will remain for ever in my memory . if one asks me did u enjoy the company of the classmates i had spent four years with then i would reply a smile ..a smile that has helped me answer embarrasing questions
