Writing a book on Neilgherries
Posted on February 27th, 2010 7 commentsThis has been a long long running thought.
To write a book on Neilgherries (called Nilgiris today).
Why?
- To satisfy the (poor?) writer in me
- I grew up there
- I love the place
- I want to tell the story of how wonderful it was 100-200 years back and how it is now
- I want to write something and can’t think of anything else
- I want to publish my own photographs of birds, animals and landscapes somewhere
- I want to dedicate something to my dad, and he will love my idea of a book on Nilgiris
What is stopping me?
- Time
- Laziness
- Confusion
- Work (at office)
- Lack of enough motivation
So, what now?
- I own www.neilgherries.com and want to make it a decent portal for info on Nilgiris, not the one the regular tourist knows, but the one that the British saw in the 1800′s. This website can serve as a pre-cursor to my book.
- Plan to finish the book before 2015… now, now.. that is long long away! But I feel I need the time!
- No compulsions! I may drop out anytime if I find it boring!
- Hey, its just an experiment. I don’t intend to make any money, quite the opposite, I am willing to spend some money actually.
- For now, felt making this wish public will motivate me better. So, wish me luck!
- See ya all in 2015!

Hello Mr.Prem,
Past is experience,
Present is experiment.
Future is expectation.
Use your experience in your experiments to get your expectations.
To accomplish great things, you must not only act, but also dream, not only plan but also believe.
Trusting God won’t make the mountain smaller but it’ll make the climb easier.
Hope you’ll be able to climb all your mountains today & everyday.
Every sunset gives us one day less to live! But every sunrise give us, one day more to hope! So, hope for the best. Good Day & Good Luck!
