Live Blog Ooty Coonoor trip – By Sanjukta

3.40 am

9 of us are on our way to Coonoor. Right now we have stopped over in a Barrista. Behind the wheels we have Vinayak in his Honda City and Vicky in his Honda Civic. Amongst the other let’s goers we have Snigdha, Myself, Danish, Sanjay, Sunil, Sree and Suresh.

Suresh is the most quiet guy, followed by Danish. Sunil and Vicky are like the pranksters, I and Snigdha are the glamour factor. Sanjay is one guy I can communicate in pure Delhi style. So order for coffee. Time for a group photo.

Vicky seems to be the center of attraction here, everybody trying to guess his place of origin.

There is a nice and affordable homestay in Coonoor called The Devasholam.
