Gerard Manley Hopkins’ famous poem, “Pied Beauty”, is the most appropriate epigram because of multiple reasons. To begin with, it could easily be our grateful prayer of thanksgiving for being able to establish a dreamland. In the past two years, we have had the opportunity of appreciating Nature’s infinite sights, sounds and significances, while plotting the landscape, or, piecing together the various resort dwellings, which would retain the pristine glory of the hill country along with the ultra-modern amenities we have endeavored to incorporate. Therefore, we readily chant and gratefully repeat the great poet’s chiseled words. The Kurumba Village Resort,undoubtedly one of the finest hotels in Ooty & Coonoor, contains an ambience with plenty of poetic possibilities. Our joyful seeking of a link with a jubilant poet’s scintillating list of Nature’s panorama is simple and natural; we are also intensely aware of the breath-taking beauty of the enchanting approaches to The Kurumba Village Resort: the variously enchanting musical notes of the delightful chirping of nearly thirty species of birds readily noticeable in the Resort area.
The unique “sprung” rhythm of Hopkins’ poetry also has links with our thought process which includes the kaleidoscopic spectacles focused on the stretching skyline around The Kurumba Village Resort, leading resorts in Ooty & Coonoor. We also think of the thrills emanating from fickle and fast-changing climatic conditions. Our deep appreciation of the meticulousness with which our architect has mingled the idyllic and pristine qualities of an ancient land with ultra modern amenities into a perfectly pleasurable blend has to be recorded at this juncture..
