My obsession with Coonoor is a life-long one. It was exhilarating to visit this summer and get back in touch with all my favorite spots. But it was kind of sad to see that nobody seems to be investing in the place.
My old schools (see photo for Stanes High School, Coonoor) are going strong but could do with some cash inflows. And Lower Coonoor definitely is very crowded. So when I read about one family's gesture to make a difference - I can't help rhapsodying about it. They've left behind a very rich lifestyle and a Bollywood heritage to run a 22 acre farm where they are looking at organic produce, biogas driven energy and organically made cheese. Kudos to them!
