may sound like crazy, but that’s precisely what we did – my buddy & I. A
trip merely for exploring the variety of food at different places; Pondicherry
to begin with. We started our trip from Chennai early morning on 14th July &
reached Pondy by 8.30 am.
We
rented a bike & began exploring the Auroville city – one of the best places
I have ever visited.
