“ Where else would you find the roaring rapids of the mountain rivers and the tranquil lapping of the lakes,
Where else would you find the burbling waterfalls and the languid rivulets going under the culverts,
Where else would you meet spirituality with nature at one place,
Where else would you encounter the wildlife in its natural habitat,
Where else would the pitter patter of the rain and bird songs entice you more,
Where else would you find people so simple that Gods also chose this land as their abode ”
