Pondy stay and return

well i thot of having 2 separate blogs for the stay and the return...but was getting stuck with work and also losing the details...

so heres a quick thingy....well dont know how quick and short its gonna be :)

on reaching Pondy we couldnt get a place for all of us to stay at a single place...we had to hunt arnd for an accomodation...and me being the only Tamil speaking member was by default the hunter...

after arnd 2 hrs search we located a place...it was a charity organisation for the handicapped... making prosthetic limbs and distributing them for free...and they have this facility which the rent it to the tourists and the amount they receive as rent goes to the trust...

we guys took a dorm and the gals had a place with 2 rooms...it was pretty comfortable...

i was more tired travelling arnd Pondy looking out for the accom than the trip of 350 kms...this bike was tuff riding inside the city and again Pondy roads are too narrow and too crowded :(

Saturday evening went with some guys helping out the guy whose bike got conked and the others (including me) went to the nearby beach...we went arnd 7pm and it was already dark...

then coming back some guys boozed and made a lot of noise till arnd 1 or 2 am...we were supposed to leave the nxt day...

the nxt day...on Sunday...we went arnd the city and somebody went shopping and suddenly the whole group is shopping...and it was decided then that we would stay on Sunday...bunk office on Monday (i rmbrd my college days)... only me and another couple...three of us were planning to return...now thats risky....so we decided to stay back and start on Monday morning at 5am...so we roam arnd Pondy and then go to Auro beach near the ECR in the evening...we had nice fun and it was the first time that i road a bike in sand...was very tuff at the same time very exciting...were in the water for arnd 2 hrs...

most the ppl were asking for a place which serves fish...and since i had already worked arnd these areas when i was with my previous company i had a person who was from Pondy... on contacting him he gave me the place "Anjappar"...we reserved the place and these ppl had good nv food while the veggies had no big choice as usual :( (i am a veggie)

by the time we reached back at the dorm it was 12....i forgot...after food these ppl wanted to go to the beach...so it was arnd 12.15 and i felt very sleepy...so took my bike and left...and now these guys behind had the keys...so they were forced to come to the dorm...

i was the first to wake up at 4 in the morning...and woke up every one arnd and by the time we started it was 5.45...and now there was this new thing...ppl wanted to see the sunrise...and everyone was behind the idea...so went to the beach and found that it was cloudy and wont be able to watch it...so took some snaps and were abt to leave when the sun came out of the clouds and delayed us by another 1/2hr...so started from Pondy only at 7 am...while the original idea was 5am...:( i had plans of attending office atleast half day...

and then the return journey was all race...average speed again at 90kmph and with very few stops....we reached Krishnagiri by 1pm...it was only another 90 kms but one of the bikes had lost the route and were far behind...so we had to wait for them to join and in the meanwhile we ordered "double-omlettes" at a roadside dhabha...we ate close to 18...and that guy had a roaring business...also there was the test match going on...so we sat there and waited...

and when we left the place it was 3.15pm...we reached Bangalore arnd 5pm and went straight to office...informed my PM that would fill in the formalities for leave the nxt day and then left to the Enfield showroom to surrender the bike...that trip was very funny...wud require another blog probably...and my usual style a long one...

then went home...had a nice hot...i mean real hot bath and then slept...

nxt morn...surprisingly very fresh...must thank the RE i rode...:)
