A road trip to Munnar on Christmas eve was placed on our cards long back... almost a month before! Long chain of mails containing the plans and proceedings were instrumental in lifting our spirits and I was particularly excited because I always wanted to be there! Finally the D day arrived and we (Me, Ashish, Shirish, Vipin, Arathi, Jahnavi, Sanjeev, Gopi, Sreemayee, Manpreet, Yuvraj and Soujanya) were all set for the trip. The trip was good but it became exciting when we reached the Ghats of Munnar. They were terrific! Sharp turned and twisted roads and the whole place covered with hills and forests.. the view was simply fabulous. We reached at the resort by 11:00 AM. I completely fell in love with that place. It was nothing but a dream come true for me! Staying in a cottage in a place quite close to nature with waterfalls, rocks, mountains, camp fire... it had almost everything that I always wanted in my dream land! Seriously speaking, I didn't feel like going out of the resort itself although there were many places to be covered in just two days. We had a very warm and cozy time around the fire... playing Antakshari, Dumb Charade and many more chit-chats and I must say, those conversations will remain with me forever! Night was chilling and of course enjoyable. The next morning, we went for a sight seeing trip. Waterfalls are always a beauty! Then we went for an elephant ride and that was so so scary... but a wonderful experience! After that, we left for Mattupetty Dam for the purpose of boating and all but it rained and thankfully it did, else we would have missed the best view of the place. The foggy, misty environment was adding to the beauty of the place. We took some pics.. including some where the nature was at its best. Those were the moments which won't be experienced frequently... they are to be captured... so that we can revisit them as and when we feel! With loads of dancing, singing, merry making, fun and memories, we returned back to our work place... all juvenile and looking forward for a good entry into the new year. Let's see what is there in store!
Beautiful quote on the wall of a cinema hall, "one day your entire life will be like a movie in flashback, you just need to make sure that it is worth watching"!

Hi Pragyan,
I've been meaning to comment on your blog for a while! I'm Meredith's mom and you leave sweet comments on my blog from time to time.
After we went to our local International Festival, you asked if we liked Indian food and I wanted to get back to you. We LOVE Indian food. I have a group of friends that I eat dinner with once a month and we frequently choose to go to an Indian restaurant in town. The other night we had Chicken Masala, which is a favorite. :)
Take care!
Amy
Liked the entry ... nice descriptions ... I loved the trip a lot ... and guess I have to agree with you - I would have loved staying there without going anywhere ... the resort was beautiful ... :)
