OOty- The Queen of Hill Stations

Rose Garden

 There are many names of a single place, rather say one of the best in South. I visited Ooty to celebrate Gandhiji's birthday. Actually 17 friends visited there and had an awesome day. The planning was done in an hour only. I came home after having dinner and asked everyone who wants to join the trip. In starting 19 trainees got ready to go and we hired a cab, just after the cab deal was final, 2 trainees quitted. Well I had this in mind that's why I was taking more money from all. Just as our plan was in process, one more group plan was already set. They were taking very less than what I was collecting I justified them by saying that "I am collecting high charges because there are hidden charges in their trip such as entry and parking, I after trip some money is left Ill return you.". They said "OK, but some charge still needs reduction". Finally we all agreed on terms and conditions. I must say it is a bit difficult to make 17 people agree on same conditions because each and everyone have different taste such as some wants to cover as much as spot as he can, while other wants to be back on time, no matter how many spots are covered, while others wants to have girls no matter how much time it take or how less spots are covered. As the planner I had to take decisions which most of the people wants. Although they were hard decisions, but someone has to take the hard path.

At the Lake

We reached Ooty and everyone started making their demands such as one said "Hurry we should cover  as many spots as we can", while another said "Call the other group, just check where are they". I said will hurry and will check that is there any possibility to sych our cabs. But soon, it became clear that, if we are going to synch the cabs following problems will be there: will be late, less no of spots will be covered and some people might become uncomfortable. So we hurried and tried to complete all spots and we succeeded too.

Our first spot was the Rose garden. The name itself says that it was full of different types of Roses. Wherever your eyes can see, only roses were there, it was a marvelous view. After Rose Garden we reached Lake. Lake had the facility of boating, we hired a paddle boat, it was a cool experience, as the boat never go straight, no matter however you keep the lever. It was always going round or left or right, but never straight. I must say it was fun.

well there are three more points left, I'll write about them in the next post.
