On Sunday 28th went to Barijam, it was a restricted area, a thick Forest. We brought permission form the Forest department and went, it was a unpolluted place. There was a beautiful fresh lake, in evening and morning forest animals will come and drink water, but the time we went, their was no animals, the lake was look like, the lake which comes in Hollywood movie Lake palace. We planed to spend at least 2 hours their, but the rain come and spoiled. The way to Barijam was cool, two sides trees cover the road, it was like going inside a cave, in some places the mist cover the roads and vehicle use lights.
After return from Barijam we cut cake and celebrate our cousin Aravinds birthday in our room, he was happy to celebrate his birthday in Kodaikanal. The place we were stayed was very down, the vehicle was very hard to climb, and easy to go down. The neighbor house was a beautiful bungalow, with lots of flowers and plum trees, our cousin go and secretly pick the plums and eat. There are lots of houses built on the hill’s slope near to our house, it has long steps to climb, we can’t imagine if a mudslide comes, what will they do. They are living in risk; I was wonder to see these. I saw in the binocular, there were 3 small boys playing cards in sitting on the slopes. Some kids play cricket on the in that place, I think what will they do if they shot a sixes, but were ever ball goes that pick them in minutes.
Actually our plan was to stay 3 days in Kodaikanal, but my grandma and grandpa can’t bear (stand) the cold, so we change our plan and decided to visit Theakkadi on Monday. My mind is not read to leave the drizzle and cool Kodai; I am in a sad mood in morning, and tried enjoying the last movement on the hills and the chill.

History maker, Kalam.

President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam the Hero of our nation (India). The person who work hard to fulfill his dreams and encourage every one to dream to achieve their goal.
Recently Kalam dreams are coming true. When he visits Cheiachin last year, he becomes the first president in the world to visit the World’s Highest War place (Cheiachin). On February 13 this year he make a history by traveling in a most advanced Indian Navy Submarine, (the submarine which equipped with ballistic missiles that can be launched form under water) which went 40 meters below the sea. He was the first president to travel in a Submarine.
His another dream has come true yesterday by flying in Sukhoi – 30 Fighter Plane. In his 74th age he has make history by flying in a Fighter Plane, which can go faster than the sound. Kalam was the first President to fly in a Fighter Plane. The jet went to a height of 25,000 feet, above 7 km and kalam was also allowed to turn the Plane to the left and then to the right when he had the controls, the flying continue for 30 minutes. It was Kalam’s dream since 1958, when he became an engineer, to fly in a fighter aircraft.

History continues in the Parliament Ammendment Bill (Prevention of Disqualification), which exempted the post held by some MP’s including congress president, Sonia Gandhi and Speaker Somnath Chatterjee. This controversy happened when Kalam referred the complaint against the MP and actress-turned-politician Jaya Bachchan to the election commission for holding two posts. The President's secretariat checked if there had been an effort by the government to consult all stakeholders before bringing the amendment to the bill. He concluded that the application of the law with a retrospective clause would save a few individuals from disqualification, but it stank to high heaven. Kalam felt there was no public good in giving this retrospective exemption. Kalam felt there was misuse of the exemption. Ten days after receiving the legislative proposal, Kalam read the voluminous file once again. He also read the secret files in the Rashtrapati Bhavan, on the bills rejected by his predecessors. He was convinced that the bill would be against the spirit of the Constitution, so he sent it back unsigned. This is the first time in the History a President sent the Bill with our signing.

Kodai celebration
The next one was Pillar Rock; there are three Natural rocks, which look like Pillars. But we cant se that fully, because of Mist. The views form Coakers Walk was very beautiful, the small villages in the down and the houses on the slopes are wonderful, first 5 minutes we cant see any thing, the place was fully covered my mist, which look like white screen. Which are all I missed in my last trip, and it was fulfilled now. In Evening went to the Famous Kurunji Andavar Temple, one of the height place in Kodaikanal, a silent temple with cool breeze. In Tamil literature Kurinji means hill region and Andavar means God. Hence Lord Muruga is referred as God of hill. Wherever we go, we will be reaching our room before 7.pm, the cold wind was very high. Form our room we can see the lights of vehicles, which are going in Pariyakum (a small town in the foot of kodaikanal hill), first we thought these are lights of vehicles which passes in the hills, next morning only we know that there is no hill before us only valley.

Kodai Kondattam (celebration) 2
When I was there at last time the cool was low, but this time the rainy season has started earlier in Kerala, so the climate was very very cool, even the floor was very chill, everyone wearing slipper inside the house, only in the bedroom they put floor mats. The early morning was lovely, some times the mist cover our place, the blooming flowers are very beautiful. The snow drizzle are… awesome. In morning on 27th my aunty family also joined with us. First we went to Flower Show in Bryant Park, we had to see Different different Roses and many beautiful flowers, we expect to see more Kurinji Flowers (Kurinji is a flower which bloom once in 12 years. It last flowered in 1994.) but we saw it only in garden very little. The green grass are not good, full of garbage, and mud, I confuse is that garden or roadside. Good time for me they have build ramps in gardens, so I can go everywhere in my Wheel Chare. I round the Lake in my chare, they have organized boat race and duck catch contest.




The main problem in Kodaikanal is Traffic, wherever we go there will be a row of vehicles standing before us. I like the traffic jam there, so I can see the sight scenes slowly. We had our lunch in a Savukku (tall trees) grove, a very cool place, their are lot’s of Monkey with there kids seeing us, jumping here. They come with their groups and eat the food, which we feed them. Wherever we go the mist cover us, it was a new experience for me, I think the people living there are luck.
