Get toghether - Annamai PG 1990 - Part1

We had a pleasant get together of Ten families in Pollachi between 27th Dec. and 31st Dec. Mani and Sudhakar organized the trip and everyone enjoyed it. It was planned in ashort duration and it was a grand success.

Ms, Kodi, Rajasekar and me stared from Chennai by train on 27th night. We reached Coimbatore in the morning. Sugi and his br. in law's son joined us in Coimbatore. I arranged a van there.

Mani, JPS, prabakar and Chock annan were there in pollachi on 27 th night. Sudakar joined them in the morning. We went to Pollachi and joined the group. We refresh ourself there and started in two vans from Pollachi to Aliyar. We directly went to Aliyar Dam. Everyone went to the dam top in the hot sun.

There we arranged the lunch. We asked the hotel person to give the lunch as parcel. But It was not ready. We went to monkey falls and sent back one of the vans to get us the lunch. We had a nice bath there in the falls. Geetha came out with the snacks and a monkey snatched the mixture pocket from her.

We spent almost two hours there and then started towards Walparai. On the way we stopped at 9th bend and visited "Lomes View Point". We had the lunch around 3:00 pm. The food was very good. We had a photo session there. It was fun in getting everyone at one place and take the photos.

It took almost one hour for us to reach "Balaji Temple". The road was very bad and we reached there around 4:30 pm. The temple was nice and calm sourrounded by hills. It is a private place. We had a nice dharisanam. We played throw ball for 30 to 45 min. It was really interesting evening. We wanted to go to walparai from balaji temple. The CBR driver was not comfortable in going to walparai as he felt it was already very late. He suggested to get back to Aliyar room.

Meantime we missed the route and at last we have decided to get back to the hotel. On the way we had coffee in a local tea shop. Mrs. Rajasekar liked the coffee there.(sekar was telling me that she won't take tea/coffee in local shops). We reached the room around 9:00 pm. We had the dinner (Paratta & fish) . Some went for a walk. It was not good climate. We expected it will be very clod but we felt hotter compared to chennai. JPS was telling that for the first time he is not seeing mist in the walparai!!!!!!!!!!
