I forgot to add this in my previous trip to Manjolai. One of the craziest things I did was walk half a kilometer up the hill - ... - In a water-pipe! There was some maintanance work going on there, a friend of ours wanted to meet the foreman. The workers said he was working in the pipe half a kilometer up hill! So we went! We climbed up the ladder and let ourselves down the hatch into the looming water pipe, which by the way was five and a half feet in diameter... The walls of the pipe was coated with some sort of black slime. There were light-bulbs lighting our way, so there was no room for getting scared. But we all got a little claustrophobic in a little while. The feeling that the walls of the pipe are going to crush us wasn't exactly exhilarating!
We were also worried as to what would happen to us if someone at the dam above turned the big tap on. Well, apparently we would have been flushed out (hopefully in one piece... .... but definitely dead) at Kanyakumari!
That night, there was no scope of a good nights sleep! I kept imagining myself coming out at Kanyakumari covered in black slime and wrapped in a million lightbulbs!!!
