Pachai malai is a hill station in tiruchy district.It's a place that has to be safeguarded from the intrusion of we urbanpeople. A hill station out of thoughts. The visit there took me miles back seeing the life out there. The way of life that exists took me years back...
With no much Intrusion of modern technologies the lifestyle there seems to be something extraordinary which we can even never dream of. The calm polite air that exists throughout the hills without pollution, no much machined vehicles, people busy with their farm work alone never bothered of what goes around.
Buildings were rare to be seen, People living in community of villages that were located at far distances from each other surrounded by acres of farm lands and greenery and nothing else.
The state of the hill is that there was hardly a tea shop for us to stop for a while.. it was almost a 60 km travel over the hill and only that we were able to see were paddy fields and shades of cashew trees and few other cultivations.
I have a feel that the name of the hills actually was derived from the look of it. The system of agriculture was so pure that the fields were manually ploughed with bullocks and the entire family was engaged in getting their own fields ready for the plantations..
