Nature Glow
Nature speaks its language
through swish swash trees,
write notes on leaves
through rays of light -
relayed its natural shade, green.

Reading is a pleasure
when books come from nature,
the lecture of birds
from the electric wires
teaches how to survive in wild.

Sunlight warms and warns
escapism is impossible,
in the glory of nature
rising up and down is eternal
where we can’t find fault.

Like half mowed beard
the mountain slopes,
cutting off trees, man-made tea
the refreshing brew
that treats different taste buds.
Mountain breeze take breath
through many curves 'n' bends,
the corridor of animals
turned roads, to complain
animals crossed the path!
Ps. The picture shot on a blissful morning in Cloud Mountain in march 2015 and the poem was inspired on same... and what you see was partially tea estates

Home Décor
Christmas is here and I wish you all Merry Christmas and
advance Happy New Year. I generally like festivals and the happiness it provides.
Decorating a Christmas tree is always fun and for last few years I started to
put led lights to keep up the festival spirit and star to bight up the night. It’s
my mom decorated the tree really but I enjoyed watching and telling her what to
hang where. Here I share few photos from my simple home décor. Hope you all
enjoy the holidays. Cheers!

Cute Chamraj Tea factory outlet
On the outskirt of Ooty and on
way to Manjoor, nestled this cute little tea outlet overlooking the Chamraj Tea
factory and beautiful tea garden of same at a pretty much curve. I really loved
this outlet for its cute setting around the corner of a winding ghat, with
pretty neat lawn and beautiful benches to sit back and relax for a while
sipping their variety of teas and enjoying the cool green ambiance. As we were
heading to Upper Bhavani, I couldn’t get down or spent some time at the outlet,
just had some tea and moved on as it was already noon. My camera wasn’t working
then, since it fell down the night before that day, I took these photos from my
brother’s Xiaomi mobile.
Chamraj Tea is promoted as one of
the finest tea growing from the high range of mountains in India. The outlet
sells variety of tea products from regular to organic to flavoured from their
own production house. Korakundah, I guess is also the group of Chamraj which
supports organic tea from the highest tea gardens. They also have a Tea Centre
in Ooty town, where we bought some tea packets before we leave down. The outlet was fenced neatly and on the road
side poles linked by chain was pretty rounded about.
I also find the big cup and saucer inside the shop was attentive.

Back to Home
Things belong to somewhere
nativity could be anything

Name it anything abode

Retire of sun, unplugs

Screeching of birds indicate
the time to go back home;
as they ready to take laps
on the canopy of trees.

Sun too exhaust at the day end
withdrawing its rays; says bye
as slowly the shadow swallow
life draw back to home.

Bits on travel to Udumalpet
Though winter is here and the
weather turns chill in the morning and foggy experienced at the outskirts of
Chennai, my journey to Munnar began on the early hours of November 26 wasn’t
much different due to the low pressure in bay, I experienced a feel on
mountains. The travel between Thiruporur - Chengalpattu, in the outskirts of
Chennai south, was blissful than ever while passing the countryside beside the
hill and forest terrain. The picture below will give idea how the travel was
and the glasses were scrolled down until touched the national highways.
But the entire journey wasn’t on
NH, and we took a detour at Perambalur instead going down to Trichy to reach
Musiri, a town on the north bank of Cauvery. Crossing the river, we hit the NH
again before took turn to Dharapuram to go to stay at Udumalpet where we booked
rooms at govt. guest house. On the road to Thuraiyur, from Perambalur I come
across a beautiful temple tower which I had no idea until I browsed using the
location marked at the iPhone image detail. I shot many photos using my iPhone
SE, like ever with a mobile, and it was quick and easy than a P&S.
The temple was at a village called
Kurumbalur, and the temple named as Panchanadeeswarar Temple is dedicated to
Lord Shiva and the temple was built in 10th century by King
Veeratarajan. First time traveling on this road the weather was helping hand,
aside the cool countryside and trees guarding roadsides. Again on NH, we
encountered two big blades of windmill (pic below) transported in trucks. Around Dharapuram and Udumalpet one could
find number of windmills and this region is open to many windmill farms since
it falls under the straight line of Palakkad gap, through which it receives
Arabian Sea breeze.
Across Dharapuram, the state
highway was really good and beautiful with all the curves and row of trees was
inspiring to shoot. The drizzling weather was like ice on the cake and we
couldn’t stop have tea from the roadside tea shop even before it turned 4pm. Being
a Sunday Udumalpet was bare enough with almost shops closed, and the guest
house on the Munnar road was easy to move out rather going into the town. They allotted
two rooms for us, but the five of us decided to stay at the AC room, though we didn’t
used the AC since the weather was cool enough.
