Pondicherry trip

It was friday evening.. some of us were gearing up for a weekend trip. Its been a week since we finalized on pondicherry. Everything was planned to avoid last-minute rush.. however it dint make much of a difference to me! 4.30 in the evening, i was busy stuffing everything into my bag.. trying to recollect things when my phone buzzed forcing me to leave.

We started our journey at around 6. Being unsure about the place where we booked our guest room, missing the route was expected. At around 3 in the morning we were busy searching for the place! First of all none of us knew tamil except manju... to second it, all sign boards were in tamil.. Damn! luckily, we could find some people having a morning walk at that time in the night who helped us find the way!!(I assume they were humans since they responded properly and none seemed creepy)

Wait, I can go on and on about various things we did but this time i try to keep it short :) (though i finished two paragraphs already :P). This made me wonder what not to write. I pondered over my mind again and again and finally came up with some-kind-of solution...

"Whats special about pondicherry"

Dune beach

Is it the humid weather which magically transform your hairs into wires or is it the panoramic view of endless sea.. the auroville, where they worship humanity or the french colony.. is it the rendezvous,  french breakfast or CK's foodstaurant where we hogged like we never had food.. is it the swimming pool in the guest house or just friends chit-chatting!

Rock beach

Guess its not a solution but a probe, which had my hands full on which one to prioritize.. coz everytime i think of it, im mazed.. Its tough to point out one thing and say "hey look this is wonderful in pondicherry"..  its the nice blend of everything, which makes it an amazing place. There is auroville, which is so very peaceful and calm and then, there is rock beach where the sea roars.. there is paradise beach which is heavenly as well as Dune beach which is secluded and wonderful. There is french colony where you get to see name plates you can never understand and nehru street where you can shop to ur contentment! But wherever you go, you loose yourself to it!

P.S : To all the veggies out there planning for pondicherry trip, dont miss CK's foodstaurant in nehru street(guess so). Food is wonderful there..(or probably we were damn hungry!) Ofcourse you might have heard about french breakfast anyway!
