reached Ooty. We did as we
had planned and reached the
tea park. The place was full
of all sorts of tea plants as we
couldn’t find anything much
other than those plants. We
had spend almost one and
a half hour clicking photos
and planning the rest of our
trip. We didn’t know it was
almost 12 pm until I looked
at my watch and realised that
we were late for our check in.
We rushed to the hotel and
checked in. The room was
really nice and we had some
second thoughts of leaving the
room. The room had such a
cozy mattress, TV and a bathroom
with hot water. Everything
was just perfect. After
being there
for a few hours, we started
exploring different tourist
spots. As my friend was so
fond of hill tops we headed to
some of the hill tops which we
saw on our way to the tea park
that day morning. We visited
the railway station which said
something about taking us
through the woods, but unfortunately
we were not able
to make it as there was some
problems with the tracks. We
had our lunch on the way to
the railway station. On our
way back to the parking lot
after having lunch we were
stopped by two transgenders
and asked for money. I almost
sent them off by giving 10 Rs
but a second one came to us
and asked more, my friend unfortunately
took all his money
from his wallet so as
to give some coins.
Watching him
taking out
all the
money,
one of them snatched about
200 rs from him and told
him that “think that you have
given this money for the poor
children” both of us being
so helpless just nodded our
head at them and they left as
soon as they got the money.
With all sorts of emotions
flowing inside us we just left
the place as nothing has happened.
We stopped over at
some lake just because there
were no other places worth
to visit. From there we went
to the pine forest and that
place was really beautiful.
We had this particular scene
of my friend’s short film to
be shot over there and by
that we spend over 4 hours
in the woods shooting and
experimenting with different
types of shots. It was around
5 pm we noticed the time
and by then all the shots were
completed. Then we rushed
towards a hill top as there
was another scene to be short
over that place, we sucessfully
completed the
shooting and
thought of
reaching
some
other hill top to
watch the sunset.
Fortunately, we reached there
on time and we were really
lucky to spectate a beautiful
sunset, we took some photos
and then slowly started our
way back to our room.
The weather was really getting
cold and we were sure
that the more time we spend
over the mountains the colder
it would become. We were
trying to get back to the hotel
room as soon as possible.
we reached back at around
6.30pm and took some rest
as we were exhausted with
the long journey. We watched
television and took shower
and by 9 we thought of moving
out for dinner. As we
came out we thought of not
taking our bike as we felt it
would be nice if we would
walk to a restaurant. We
started to walk, hoping we
would find a nice restaurant
to have dinner. Unfortunately
for my friend, I was very bad
at leading
the way by reading
maps. It took us
almost one and a half
hour reach a restaurant. We
kept on making the wrong
turns and finally realized that
we lost our way. But thankfully,
we knew our way back.
On our way to the room we
saw a hotel which was almost
getting closed and
somehow managed to get
