Our guest blogger Sheila Kumar, copywriter-turned-journalist-turned writer (author of Kith and Kin), recounts through a series of frames, her visit to Nilgiris, one of the oldest mountain ranges; it is a part of the Western Ghats. There are three hill stations in Nilgiris -- Ooty, Coonoor and Kotagiri. Nilgiris is India's first biosphere. This is Sheila's second tour-de-frames for Nila Tamaraa. Drop by Sheila's blog Bindersfullawords for some more frozen frames.
