Pondicherry Trip

Some Believe the best things happen when unplanned .. Well this trip is definitely one of those…

Wow.. one of the best trips we had.. Though we were only 6 but had the best of fun..
I guess it was 12 march 08… We had finished our internals and was vacation time.. people were leaving to go back home and my friend JAY from Ahmedabad had come to Bangalore . So few of us who had decided to stay back set to Pondicherry.

It was fun right from the beginning .. It’s the only trip where we relied completely on public transport. We started in a bus .. And what we saw in there was a Tamil comedy flick.. All laughed .. We never knew why? Also we met one of our MBA friend RONNIE GADDAR as we called him .. His favourite dialogue is “ITS ALL IN THE MIND”

Definitely it is .. But it slipped out of Abhinav’s mind to get the phone no of the guest house we were going to stay … what we had was just the name of the person concerned from Berger paints ‘VIVEK’.. Oh!! early morning 4 o clock and no contacts what so ever
We walked about 40 mins and reached the beach around 5.. we strolled and rested on the beach till we saw the sun … But we still had no roof to stay back and rest.. What we knew was the name VIVEK. Vishal stared shouting on the streets of Pondi.. VIVEK VIVEK VIVEK ….BERGER… BERGER PAINTS…. oh it was so much fun… Somehow we found a paint shop and then after some time the guest house..

There s a saying PATIENCE PAYS .. It really did.. the Guest house was AWESOME .the best of what we have stayed in all our trips .. We got fresh and then took of to the different places around the city . We walked through most of the city as its not that big.. and when we did take a local rickshaw .. It was just for Rs 2.5 per person
We went through many places that day and what we had for Dinner was pizzas which led to Paaaarth’s nightmare .. All thanks to 2 hourly visits by Bunty The next day we hired 3 bikes There we had a color identification test for our "Partially" Color Blind friend Jagrut (:: Only few knows that he is actually Partially Colour Blind and he carries an Identity Card for the same).
We went to Aurovilla. The vibrations at that place was so great we all started meditating
On the way Vishal n Jay greeted all DESI – VIDESI girls in their typical styles .. Aurovilla is a beautiful place with all peace and all the gold.
After lunch we went to an amazing place .. BACKWATERS.. there was river on one side and sea on the other side .. Was such a beautiful place .. had great fun in the sea with switching costumes as we had one less  And then after a long walk and some really cool snaps we began the end of the trip . .




















Well it was a great trip for all of us .. Especially for me as it was my Bday time .. Thanks for all who made it special for me…..
