Today we got up at 4 am and wore new dress and proceeded by car to Kodaikanal.  We started from home around 6 am and arrived Kodaikanal around 10:30 am.  When we reached our place of stay, the caretaker opened the compound gate for us to park our car inside. Then we went inside the cottage and it was quite spacious.  I removed my slippers but since it was chill, I wore them again.  Then we went walking for lunch to Tibetan Restaurant.  There my father had beef fried rice and momo (made of minced beef and onion).  My mother had two chapatis and my brother and I had noodles.  I could not eat all the noodles and so I gave the rest to my mother and father.  On the way back to cottage, we bought homemade chocolates.  In the afternoon, we took rest and had chocolates in the evening. Late in the evening, our uncle, my cousin and his wife came by car to the cottage. My father took them for dinner, but we did not go as we did not feel hungry.  At night, around 1 am, my mother and brother could not sleep due to chill weather and so just they opened the door to see whether they could see any bison but they did not see any bison in front of the cottage and they slept again.

The following day, Sunday, we attended church service and visited Anna Botanical Garden.  The flamboyant colours of the flowers were a feast to our eyes.  We went for boating on Monday and in the afternoon, we left for home.   The weather is so pleasant and wonderful that there is no dust in the atmosphere and the air is pure. The pleasant weather made us enjoy walking everywhere and we avoided car to the maximum except going to distant places. If not walking, what else we visit Kodaikanal for?

Rose Plants in our Home

Rose Plant Blossoming in Abundance
Beautiful to see many flowers in a single rose plant
I like plants and particularly rose plants.  We have rose flower plants blossoming in yellow, pink and red.  Usually, we could see two or three flowers blossoming in all the plants that we have. One particular day, I could see more than five flowers in a single plant.  I was so happy because of many flowers in a single plant and at the same time quite sad because all would almost wither at the same time.  So, I plucked three flowers, one for my mom and two for me.  Rose plants are really beautiful indeed, whether they are on plants or adorning one's hair.
