I was depressed, lost and grieving when me and my family were just sitting on the dining table and I presented my wish of travelling solo and my sister's husband booked my flights to chennai. I really needed this change of place of travelling so as to gain back my confidence and excitement in life. For the first time, I was travelling alone to a destination whose language was foreign to me. Infact, this entire idea of solo tripping on unknown roads was a far sight for me. But then I landed at the Chennai International airport and travelled to Pondicherry by road. The moment I began my journey to my hotel in Pomdicherry, I was filled with thrill as left the coconut trees behind. A tamil song playing in my Cab. Every bit of the air kissing my face was calming every inch of my soul. All the rush which had been accumulated in my body was slowly coming to rest. Pondicherry is a city with abundant peace and big hearted people. The crashing waves of the sea washing away the sand on the shores produces its own song and no melody feels sweeter than its music. Sitting by the sea and gazing up at the stars is in itself a really mesmerising experience. Pondicherry has numerous beaches, each one having its own beauty. If on one, you sit and see the rising sun shining bright, then on the other, you can enjoy the calmess of a sunset. A lot of options were available to sink myself in the culture of southern India. Street side food stalls open early morning serve hot idlis and crispy paper dosas. I wanted to make my taste buds alive by eating the typical south indian thali which was available in several restaurants served on a banana leaf with mutiple curries and pickles. There are also options of floating in the backwaters along the paradise island or you can simply walk on the streets of white town. If particularly gives a colonial feeling to the nerves and its beauty is admirable. One can go shopping and buy souvenirs from the goubert street and local shops. Serenity beach bazar is also one of the attractive destinations to shop.
