I had a friends marriage in Mlore on Friday i.e. 5th, so with 3 days in hand thought we will drive in our car. But once the marriage finished on 5th 10.30 am. Suddenly had a light bulb going off in my head and i proposed the idea of Munnar to my wife. She readily agreed (being a travel bug herself).
