Have you seen them ?

Ooty is a very beautiful place, most of us or all of us seen ooty. May be in college days or later. It sits on the top of Nilgiris. Nilgiris obviously mean blue hills.Blue color to the hills are provided by the kurunjee flowers which do not bloom frequently. But when they bloom, bloom simultaneously giving blue hue to the whole mountain range. Nilgiris is also junction of western and eastern ghats.

         I had been to Ooty three times. All visits were in the last (also lost) decade. I wanted to see one community who are seen only in and around Ooty. They practice fraternal polyandry(practice of one woman marrying many brothers ) which is true replica of Draupadi. They are said to live in a different type house and their god is buffalo.They are called as "Todas".

  Each time I went to Ooty, I ended up with URI and my first priority was to leave Ooty. So till this day I not able seen them. Any of you, by chance if not by choice, seen them ?.
