On Nilgiri Poem by Ratnakar Mandlik

On Nilgiri



Many movies were shot on the buxom Ooty
Showing now and then it's natural beauty.
They show every thing pleasent to the eyes,
And we praise the nature, forgetting its sighs.

While finishing the edifice of the universe
And arranging there flora and fauna,
God made the man a zoon grotesque,
To rule it prudently on the given clues.

Oh Nilgiri, a monarch of mountains
Is not your duty too just like a guide,
With deep vallies and unattainable hills
.Don't you want to tell us something sublime?

Your height and steepness, oh monarch,
Your vallys and hillocks with their branch.
Vegetation over there and the waterfalls,
No doubt are your enticing beauty spots.

Your company we want just to enjoy
The pleasent scenery and the landscapes
And to make it for us quite easier,
We have to cut apart from you your pieces.

Oh Nilgiri, I know to it you do not object,
But with the situations and your appearance,
A message you want to give His subjects
In which they can find required prudence.

For the botanists you are a great treasure
Where as geologically you are a great wonder.
You are the best model for the artists,
True teacher for philosophers and pantheists.

Yes, Ooty is one of the favourite destinations of tourists with its cold climate and enticing beauty! To top its natural loveliness, there is the famous botanical garden and the Nilgiri hills! You have painted this stretch of territory in all its natural charm and attractiveness!
