Lets meet Peace...

Some go to trek, some to explore & some to enjoy but few go to relax. Yes Pondicherry is indeed a place to relax. It allows you to do so. Though i went from my college for an industrial visit, relaxation & peace is what it had to offer.
Peace, french style promenades, clean & green is what one searches to relax & Pondi has all in it. The most unique thing about Pondi is that it does not have any industry that affect nature as said by the CM of Pondi.
The most beautiful aspect of Pondi was the long walk that we friends took on the corridors of the Arabian Sea. A walk in heavy rains that too barefoot & with dear college friends was more then I had asked from this God's Wonder.

One more unique aspect of Pondi is a structure build in middle of the town in memory of a prostitute who use to help the poors with her earnings.

When in Pondi, Aurbindo Ashram is a must must see as life takes a completely new meaning when you see their teachings, in fact their practical teachings.
While in Pondi the best way to explore is to walk the lonely & peaceful lanes of this small town with friends singing & allowing the nature to feed you to its limit.


Simple walks & more, I do remember them...

You will be surprised with every step as you will keep wondering how a place which is so small can offer you so much that you can cherish for your entire life. These are the moments where peace & delight of nature takes you over & leaves you with a feeling that "yes I am a simple & a lovable person on earth". It is indeed coined to perfection as "Peaceful Pondicherry" by it's promoters.
A place that I explored with my college friends & still want to go their once again just to relive those relaxing & simple moments which one always dreams of to have.
They say you can't meet peace but I did. Pondi forces you to do so even if you don't want to. My belief that a person behaves according to the place he is in came very true when I visited this simple yet extra ordinary peace of land.
