Last week the whole office team was planning to attend one of our colleague wedding. Nishanth, Sebi and Nygil were planning for a one day trip to Munnar a day before the wedding. Me and Iyad joined them and went to this wonderful place. It was around 300 Kilometers from Trivandrum. The sad part was we spend the whole day reaching there . It was good fun driving all the way to place. We spend the night at Munnar and roamed around the market place. The place was simply amazing and very good climate!!!

Thanks to the three musketeers ( Nishanth , Sebi and Nygil ) for clubbing us with them for the trip
