TRIP TO OOTY

I've recently been to ooty(a famous hill resort in south India) with my elder son.I visited it once before in the early '90s and much has changed like all things in life.Ruskin Bond calls it the "call of the mountains".I revelled in the beauty of the place.My Medical friends were surprised that i visited it in July,when the actual visitor season was over.Travelogues mentioned that April,may and June were the three months ideal for visitors.Being a Virgo,am allergic to crowds.The image is a shot from the Dodabetta Peak,the highest point on the western ghats(a mountain range).The high point of the visit was when my son asked me whether we can chill out with a beer!so much for parental policing!Adieu,my friends!
