Started with the train journey from bengalooru to puducherry,the train was almost empty and it belonged to us.The only problem with our compartment was Praveen Kumar whom we thought was 25 but looked 25+10..almost bald, dark and short...our excitement came to an end when he entered and dejection lasted till he got off cos he played absurd akon tracks at 1 a.m...until pooja loudly warned him to switch it off :P.thanks again pooja.And one more disaster was the guy who got in after Praveen Kumar,Oh God if akon was it this guy snored like crazy,for a sec i thought it was bunny but it was another uncle...!!!!
Reached pondi and walked to find New Ajantha Hotel as suggested by our very own travel guru for pondi Neethu.V....walked for 5 mins and then took a rick,weather was amazing,the only city after blore for its awesome weather...first view of the beach road..Wow!!....Heaven on Earth!!...checked into the room at Mother View next to ajantha,terrace room wid an amazing view of the light house and the beach.

Scent of the candles still lingering in my room,pondi was an amazing place to be at peace...!!
