Kollywood Film Studio
The film studio was very creatively designed. It has several components , such as the fake central jail, temple. It also had several special lightings and musics to make the act or the drama look real. When we watch television the movie’s duration is about two to three hours, however it takes a lot of effort and time. The movie is taken shot by shot and so it takes very long…the crew members are very hardworking and focused on the shots even though we were there looking at them at work. I found the experience at the kollywood studio fun and exciting as we got to look at them making the movie, I wish to go there again!

Hotel comparison
The first hotel we resided in was ambica empire hotel. It had the grandest greeting, they honored us with jasmine garlands served us drinks. We then proceeded to our hotel rooms. I was sharing my room with Nisha and kassandra. The hotel room was very nice and the toiletries we refilled everyday. As it only had two beds they even brought in another bed. We however refused the bed. Their service in taking the bed away was unsatisfactory. That however did not spoil our excitement as we had fun visiting our friends the in the other rooms and comparing. The hotel we stayed in, in kodaikanal was J.C Residency. Kodaikanal was a very,very,very cold place. We huddled up while sleeping. This hotel had a cottage system. As we did not want to walk in the cold we did not visit our friends rooms. But we did visit those who were in the same cottage. The cottages had nice names we stayed in fern cottage. Moreover the restaurant was called pine & petals. The last hotel we stayed in, in madurai was pandian hotel. As its our first day we have not had time to ourselves and thus no time to enjoy the fantastic rooms. As finally it seems to us we have the better room. I really believe that this night will be restful as we had trouble sleeping in the cold. We feel it’s a good way for a last night to be spent.In pandian hotel we also had an extra bed. Their service in removing the bed however was fast and satisfactory. We had a truly restful sleep and the fun was soon over when we had to check out and leave

Panchayat union middle school
Altogether, we’ve went to three schools. The last and most inspiring school yet was west union panchayat school. Mr anbu had already briefed us on the condition of the school and the general family background of most children there. They are extremely friendly and naturally cheerful. They took a lot of effort to make us feel at home. They had performances and we also sat in their classes. The most impactful time there was when the students were served food. As the food was being put on the plate, you could actually see the happiness and the actual glow on the face. After seeing this, I felt satisfied and contented. A certain sense of warmth had calmed my very sad heart. They also sang during the class and performance. While at SBOA, the students there were forced to sing but here, at this school, students are passionate about singing and actually have the talent too. When asked questions about the subject they are studying by the teacher, they are confident speakers and most of the time they get the ans right too. This shows that they have a large amount of potential in public speaking. Another touching scene there was after they got their food. they had gotten a meal which consisted of biryani rice, curd rice, vegetable and curry and this was a meal that was a once in a lifetime chance. Although they had the choice of just sitting there and enjoying the food, they got up, came over to us and said “talk to us please”. And this showed that even though they had really good food, they wanted to spend time with us, and we’re not even related to them. It was truly out of affection, and it was obvious. Even our own siblings don’t call us big sis\ bro, they call us by name. but these children, they are seeing us for the first time yet they are so affectionate. Its hard not to fall in love with them. If possible, not only me, but all of us would want to go back there to help. It was truly inspirational. Its really hard to put this touching experience in words because you have to be there to experience the impact.
