Everyone’s wish for a summer vacation is to visit a hill station with cool climate. We also planned for the same and decided to go to munnar, Kerala. The reason being its just 150 kms from Madurai (our native place). Alternatively we had other option of going to kodaikanal which we felt is boring and as well is much crowded during summer vacation. So here we go to Munnar.              (15kms before munnar, Tamil Film Myna being shot at this place) We hired Toyota Qualis and we were totally 7 including my son Amiitesh.

We actually planned to go for buying fancy (covering) bangles available at sowcarpet, NSC  Bose Road. We reached and we spent our 3 hours of time to roam in the NSC Bose road, its really fantastic to go for it. We nearly travelled 50 kms in our bike (Beach road) to reach parry’s corner. Sowcarpet is just a small (non south India) north India particularly the Mint street. There are so many shops to purchase sarees, chudi, salwar, etc. Like in north India, we need to bargain to buy sarees. During the noon, pani puri, samosa, kachodi, etc is available in the streets. Above: A Saree Shop Above: Mint Street Above: Mint Street After a visit of more than 2 hours, my wife purchased four set of bangles and satisfied.
