Experience Pondicherry !!!

This weekend was good with loads of things packed to make my weekend a BUSY weekend. Trip to MGM, Mamallapuram, Beach near Pondicherry (hit by Tsunami), India Exotica - Handicraft shop in JN Street- Pondicherry to get a gift for my friends reception made my Saturday.

On Sunday, went to Pondicherry beach to get a snapshot of Sunrise in my Cam, attended my friends reception in the morning, came back home and then went to Chunnambar Boat House (had a boat trip from the backwaters to an island which is present with backwaters on one side and the sea on the other side), Aurobindo Ashram and finally ended my weekend with a walk along the Seashore.

I was really astonished by the beauty of the Beach. Sorry to say that I am a citizen of Pondicherry and haven't experienced the beauty before. Thanks to my Sony DSC H2 which made me realize this, atleast now. Me along with my friends went to the beach @ 5:45 in the morning and we were waiting for the SUn to show its face to us. Finally @ around 6, there was a small bright dot behind the clouds. At around 06:07 got a glimpse of a full SUN. The SUN, along with its shadow on the high tide and a fishing boat near the shadow added beauty to the beach. I really loved it and could not get myself moving away from the place... Many a times when my colleagues asks me about a weekend trip to Pondicherry, I always wonder what is great there !... But now i do realize that a jam packed weekend can be spent in and around Pondicherry which makes the trip memorable....


Spending a couple of hours in the Paradise Beach (after a small boat ride for 15 mins from the backwaters - Chunnambar) makes us feel good and energized.



Other things to enjoy, is a trip to Auroville (not opened on Sunday's) and roaming around the Streets near the beach which showcases the French Architecture in Pondicherry, a good dinner is a FRENCH style / Ses-Side Restaurant etc.....

Cheers,
