A VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO

A lot of thanks to Ms Lovely from Kottayam, Who was doing her Nursing studies at Gokul College Kolar. Unfortunately, both of us moved away fom Bangalore at the same time (I went to Bhutan) and thus we were not able to exchange our new Phone numbers and thus lost contact.

She was the one who gave me an introduction on Kolar and the places near Kolar. .. Hope we will be ale to contact each other some day.
