CLI, a young feral horse from the queen of hill stations, Ooty, always thought the grass was greener on the other side of the hill and dreamt of sweet beet pulp and wheat middlings served in the royal stable at Mysooru. His dream of joining the palace stable almost comes to an end when he confronts one of the world's most notorious forest brigands, Meese Muniswamy Beerappan.

The miracles of life that he witnesses cruising through the South Indian Madumalai reserve, a veritable treasure trove of wildlife, leaves him bemused. While the animals and birds offer him company through his journey, his wish to join the stable turns out to be a mere chimera.

CLI the colt is a breathtaking action packed venture tale woven around the cultural capital Mysooru using the strands of fantasy, true historical and animal facts.
