Pondicherry….now the name is been changed to Pudducherry …which means new town in tamil language.it is one of the union territory of India..very small in area ..
Official language of pondicherey is Tamil and people here are able to speak and understand english ….
I had been in Pondicherry for a shoot. I took flight from delhi to hyderabad and then connecting flight from Hyderabad to pudducherry…..there are flights to Pudducherry from Bangluru and Hyderabad only, that too small Aircraft of 72 capacity…while chatting with Airport people i got to know everyday just 70 people board and deboard the flight in Pudducherry….and nearest International Airport is Chennai in Tamilnadu.
I stayed in Le – Pondy resort situated at Puddukuppam villege..
Very beautifully built and managed near Sea shore ….you will totally relax there away from all kind of noises and busy life.
The whole pudducherry is strongly influenced with french culture, very clean , you will see all seas are of sky blue and white colored.
Next day after early morning shoot… I got the time to go for city tour…. And this was the time I was waiting for…. I booked a cab from hotel and luckily the driver Raja was really a good guide… He took me first to the sacred heart basilica church….. On the way he showed me a bridge of peach and brick color shade 
parallel to the main road of the city…. It wad built during french reign in pudducherry… And only two whellers are allowed to ride that bridge.and a very interesying which I saw on Pondicherry roads were the big hoardings of a couple in the mid and many people around.
…which I discovered during my chat with my driver that the culture in ..Pondicherry is of putting Hoarding of the couple getting married around the Banquet for a week.
After church he took me to the french colonies… Where all the house are painted in yellow, gray or pink colors… Very clean and well organised..
Then we went to Raj Nivas currently the house of Governer Kiran Bedi, it was a grand white colored french building….
Just in frint of Governer’s house there was a children’s park… In the mid of park there was the monument of Pudducherry’s Goverment.
After being there I went to Aurobindo’s Ashram… Which was very quiet place.. And a cute library… Where you can find books answering questions you have in your mind related to your life in Tamil, hindi, sanskrit and English language.
Then I had the famous filtered coffee of pudducherry and a dish called 
chettinah kuzhi paniyaram.. Which was delicious… 
And then I sat on Mahatma Gandhi beach in some peaceful and quiet moments, talking to the most clean Sea… I ever saw… 
Those moments I really cherrished..
Then I went to the market of Handmade products….. The most Atteraction there for me was the jwellery made of Coconut shell…. And beautiful handmade Dream catchers….
Then back to my resort….. And next day I checked out from the hotel with my team for Mumbai via Hyderabad…
It was really memorable journey for me…
I had great food , awesome visual, sonic and food treat on my Pondicherry trip.
So if you have one or two day and you want to go somewhere close to refresh your mind then Pondicherry is an awesome place..
Stay Happy, keep Roaming, Keep reading…. 😊😇
