As i walked from the dream place without my knowledge i stepped into another route, on the way again i had my cheap and favorite loveo cola! one thing i noticed was coco cola and local brand loveo cola was the main drinks available there in those villages! anyone expecting a Pepsi better do not expect!.I learned the route to ladies seat from few people. on my way i saw the "montfort school" i was clicking a few shots from outside and there was this postman looking at the camera and smiling at me. so i decoded his meaning for the smile and said "anna ungala oru photo edukalama?" (brother can i take a picture of you" his smile widened and said yes!
The school watchmen really pissed me off, he did not allow me inside the school! so i had to click everything from the entrance gate! the school was looking good. AFter few clicks i saw the main town of yercaud, i was hungry but did not know what to eat! i ordered 2 chapathis in the hotel and its side dish sucked! i was able to eat only one! (if you had gone you would not dare to eat even half).
From there i took a right and walked 3-4kms to ladies seat, it was around 2:30 and sun was dominating the weather.On the way i saw several streets that went down like a slope! and there were houses in it!there were lots of churches and there was a church and mosque next to each other! i wondered how foolishly man had separated one god with a name and with their habits!
Two roads diverged! i did not no which way to go, there was an auto driver sitting in his auto! i asked him the route to ladies seat and he said the route and asked " sir 20rs thaanga naaney drop pannidra!" (give me 20rs sir il drop you there) i smiled and said il walk and took the road to my right.
As i walked in the road the auto guy came and said " sir, vaanga , naa andha pakkam chumma dhan poren,drop pannidra, ukkarunga" (sir im just heading that way, il drop you , come and sit inside the auto" , i again smiled and said "illa sir , naa nadakarthuku dhan vandhey!" (no sir i just came to walk all way). Just a straight road and a left tadaa! welcome to ladies seat!.
The view from ladies seat was awesome! i was able to see the city below yercaud. Also i found DARWIN'S FRIEND's, there were several Grey monkeys roaming over, they were sitting on the edge of the peak rocks, one monkey was holding its little child to itself and was sitting on the edge of a rock!
I was amazed to see that!! all these monkeys were very gutsy! I had to climb few stairs and stand in a round concrete place from were i will enjoy the view. There were lots of kids and family standing, suddenly a monkey jumped in and everyone screamed and moved to a corner! i stood still observing why the monkey and come in and what made it so desperate for it to jump in!
the monkey politely walked dispersing the crowd and picked up a piece of chips! one single chips, once it grabbed the chips, it quickly jumped back to the rocks out of the view point!! looking that the people who were petrified started laughing! now the other monkey started getting afraid lols!
paying rs5 im went upstairs of a shop for a telescopic view, through the telescope i was looking at a peaceful village and city , but the guy operating the telescope was shouting like hell to a women there! i enjoyed seeing how the dogs chased the monkeys when the monkeys tried to climb up to the view point! as i started from ladies seat i remember i had hidden the gun stick behind a tree :) , i went up to the tree and like a thief i pulled out the stick and started. at the entrance of the ladies seat there was a man standing and next to him a poster said " get your face drawing here", he was expecting customers but he was not even noticed , i thought i could go and get my face drawn but i had only 60rs in my purse!
I felt bad and regretted for not encouraging him as a customer! as i passed him he looked at me and smiled and showing a wide open hands and sad expression in mouth which meant "no customers here". I just prayed god that his talents should not be wasted.And i moved towards my next destination "Gents seat" which was very near.
