Yanesh Tyagi

 Vattavada, Munnar, Kerala India   These were the good old days. The days before pandemic hit us and change our lives for forever. Those were the days when people were not afraid of other people and there was no social distancing but social grouping.

  Dal Fry and Roti @Ramada, Egmore, Chennai - Yanesh Tyagi's Memoir Well, you might be wondering what is this? Well, this is Dal Fry and Roti (Chapati) - that I am having for my dinner. Why? Why this? You may ask. The thing is that when you have spent months traveling, you look for simple, nutritious and homely food. And Dal Fry was the best option for a North Indian guy like me. The taste is good - I have taken a bite after snapping the pic. The cook has done a good job. Probably I should call the cook and give him/her my compliment.

  Chennai, Oct 2018. This is fall. The temperature is stupidly high.  I am in Chennai for a work related meeting. The meeting is tomorrow morning.  I still have to look at my presentation - one last time.  And this working desk, inside my room, is really tempting!

  The Ooty landscape

Traditional way of crossing the river. Tourists returning from the Kuruvadweep Island. Dweep in Sanskrit means island. Kuruva island is around 1000 acre evergreen forest. You need to cross the river Kabani to enter into the forest. Seen in the picture are tourists returning from the island on traditional raft made of bamboo. They have placed some ropes to help raftman to guide the raft. Watching the raftmen (people in the dark green dress) rowing the raft is a fun in itself.
