Kodaikanal Hill Station! Poem by Ramesh T A

Kodaikanal Hill Station!

Rating: 5.0


Climbing up the Kodai hill station was

A unique pleasure to enjoy and cherish

In memory so as to talk whenever possible!

Pleasant morning Sunshine, fresh green trees

With flowers, healthy Eucalyptus smell

And dizzy ranges of hills covered with

Mists and clouds were all wonderful

To see, feel and enjoy in life at least once!

At 8 am just before the Silver Falls Bridge

Sumo stopped for the friends to see the view

Of cool, beautiful, white, silvery water

Cascading down the ridges of the hills!

The beautiful sight was hard to miss

For the pals to take photos of themselves

With the Silver Falls at the background!

After completing shopping work, Gir led

The friends for sight seeing round Kodai!

Coaker’s Walk was the place they halted to walk

Round to see the beauty of the valley below;

What a beautiful sight it was with mini houses

Of the town in the valley below under the Sun!

They took instant photos of the scenes, but,

The mists covered the scenes within seconds!

Sunshine and mists were playing the game of

See-Saw on the scenic beauty of the spot!

Visiting Observatory they went to Silent Valley,

Which was previously called as Suicide Point

Covered with full of mists, a grave place

Where tragic lovers committed suicides

Believing to get peace in that deep abyss!

Being a memorable spot they took photos

To talk about that later with their dear ones!

Then crossing the Golf Club they proceeded

Straight towards the Pillar Rocks spot next.

On the way they purchased packets of peanuts

Anticipating their needs later in the lunch!

Rocks standing as two pillars were vague

For the view of Pug due to the cover of mists.

Under Ram’s instruction to wait and watch

The wonder, Pug looked with concentration;

And the mists too moved away making clear

The mystery of Pillar Rocks truth to the eyes!

Then the crew of Gir stopped near Guna point

To see the naturally formed rock cave there,

Made popular by the Guna movie, wherein the

Hero kidnaps and hides the heroine of his dream

And there he composes a love-letter song to her

And sings beautifully with her in that fine movie!

Indeed it was difficult to climb up and down

The vertical slope of the narrow rock cave

And so, they took photos of the Guna cave

In many possible angles for their Photo Album.
