Dear me, so Munnar is in the Western Ghats. It's time 2 dust out that old atlas, I can clearly see that. Or maybe we cud bring a little sea 2 Munnar?
After all, anything is possible these days when the Chinese can make artificial rain and snow.

Reeth, but how did you guess? Cooking's a passion with me. The time when I am not 2 be found with a book in my hand or listening 2 music, or with my family or friends, I'll be in the kitchen rustling up new delicious dishes.
Collecting well guarded family recipes is another of my guilty pastimes. But it's definitely well worth it, I haven't heard any complaints from anyone yet.

A travel writer and me? No, I couldn't be. For the simple reason that I am always too busy savoring the beauty of the places I visit. Besides I am the impulsive kind, I wud hate 2 keep a journal.

Reeth, do you read a lot of travel literature? Any particular favorite author?

It's tragic what happened with your friend, but the sea is unpredictable and mysterious.
I know just what you meant by that "humbling" feeling; I've felt it too, that raw power of wild Nature at it's merciless best.

The hills can also show that savage face though rarely. Entire hills with houses on them doing the disappearing act as a result of landslides and flashfloods. One of my best friends a Himachali girl lost her whole family when her native village was swamped by a massive cloud burst.
Yet life goes on. It takes a lot of courage to be able to do that. I don't know if I could.
