Thanks to team Sterling Fern Hill Ooty for giving us one of the most memorable holidays. Not only is the location priceless but everything is impeccably looked into and tastefully done. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with a good view. Cleanliness is maintained and staff forever responsive. One can have a quiet, well cared for stay here.
More than anything else was the people of ‘Team Sterling’ who left indelible happy imprints on our travel memoirs. Their indefatigable spirit and unmistakably cheerful persona left us in admiration of this young brigade. The very beautiful gardens of Sterling seem to be in direct touch with divinity and soothe your nerves. The horticulture in charge Shri Sundaram Murthy is so passionate and dedicated to his work. He is a monk at work! The Captain, Mr Sagar, who leads from the front and takes ownership of everything. Chandra (Chandrashekhar), with an eye for detail and ready to chip in for everyone. Chef Rakesh with his remarkable planning sets the tone for the day. Special mention of Chef Babu, Sterling’s South Indian culinary expert….we fell in love with the unique Rasam he makes. Ever pleasant Santanu who serves with so much love and affection. Gurus don’t necessarily have to wear a particular colored robe. You can come across them wearing smart corporate uniform. The trio of Jungnam (from Arunachal), Jeeva (from Chennai) and Shanu (from Kolkata) typify that. They are a reservoir of happiness and vibrant energy and in perfect harmony within and without. There are so many of them whom we don’t know by name but each is a gem carrying unique energy and charm.
One thing common among them all was their appreciation and acknowledgement about the Sterling top management……rare finding these days where everyone seems to be complaining about something or the other.
As they say ‘Life is a collection of happy moments’ and we collected lots of them at Ooty and Sterling
God bless you all. You truly are STERLING!
