It rained heavily in Chennai yesterday, as skies darkened and Mother Nature shed tears after quite a while, the reason being the absence of Antz for the past two days. And where in the world was he? Operation Pondicherry!!!!
Pondicherry, in short, Pondy, the very word resonated through my ears, taking a trip down the memory lanes, wherein during my college days, I along with my friends had visited this very place in the name of education trip. And guess what, the very first pit stop upon reaching Pondy was some fresh juice bar… hehehe.. My, my, my, I could still figure out that scene. It was like a bunch of travelers sans any food and water, lost in the Sahara desert for days, and finally stumbling upon an oasis. We wined and dined like anything that day.
Fast-forward it fellas…….. this time, well aware of the fact that hoardes of my relatives will be flocking to Pondy, I had to put up that I-know-nothing image. Tough asking, but handled it with ease…. Tsk… Tsk…
If you wanna experience the real thrill of driving, then ECR is one of the best..... aka, East Coast Road, an express highway connecting Chennai and Pondicherry, probably one of the most scenic highways in India. I wanted to take my black stallion along, my Pulsar of course, but I had company, my uncle who insisted me to travel by bus.... the beauty and feeling of bike-riding on ECR can't be explained in words, maybe next time..
My cousins

Even the mighty waves calmed and the wind subsided, upon this guy's arrival.. Whoa...
Don - The Making.... a while after this majestic pose, a tourist from nowhere dropped in, flashed in a 10-Rupee note mistaking me for a beggar... Last heard, the tourist still on his heels..
Don, or no don, my family absent my two pets....
This beach calm and serene wasn't the same two-and-a-half years back, when towering 20-foot waves perished virtually everything that stood its path.... the Tsunami Disaster
Say waves!!!! With my shoes on, I had an impossible task of saying cheese with the waves hitting in every now and then. My tiny little cousin undaunted on the other end..
