This trip isn't really planned by me at all. My two friends had planned for the new year party , 4 days before 31st Dec. They went to Pondicherry and roaming around the places near Pondicherry and sending me the places and food dished they had experience thru Whats app.. I was getting tempted by seeing this , I know I could not join the trip since it was month end.
on 30th Night, they called me , we had long conversation about the trip at around 10PM. They asked me to join by making me tempted. I like really food joints, they mentioned about these, added some sugar and asked me to come by Bus. I got up ready and packed all clothes in the bag.
There was last bus available @ 11:15 PM near Slikboard, my friend booked ticked for the same bus, I was at KR Puram @ 11PM, 15 mins, can we reach from KR puram to Silkboard. I took cab and asked him to reach by 11:20 at least.. We were going fast to reach the place, bus guy called me and said they are moving to next stop : Electronics City Toll Plaza by 11:35 as they can not wait for me since another passenger waiting at next place, then I should reach that place before 11: 40. Somehow my cab driver reached the Electronics City Toll Plaza within the time and I boarded the bus but this costed me additional bucks.
As I reached the Pondicherry next day morning, my friends came to pick me and we went to the hotel back and took some rest. As the day geared up, my friends had some plans in the min. We went to the beach morning, weather was pleasant since it was rained previous day.
Pondichery is quite clean city and I dont find plastics much anywhere. After retuning from the beach, we had breakfast on the street, omg this was yummy and really enjoyed it. Post that, we went to the massage and enjoyed the massage at the some place in Pondicherry town. We went to see other beach called Eden beach or veerampattinam beach. This beach absolutely beautiful and cleanest. We head back to the lunch.

There was local guy helping us in exploring the places or food joints in the Pondicherry. We have got biriyani, Fish, Prawns etc got parceled to the Hotel along with Ballantine. This combination of lunch made our day. My friends reminded me about Kumaran mess where they had Prawns Curry which was yummies they had experienced previous day, I missed those dishes. In the Evening, we went to beach again for the walk, it was beautiful and spent decent time there.

We went to the city beach where we had spent decent time and explored the French architecture building. We had planned for the new year celebration in the city and thought of enjoying it to the core but bad times, there was no such events and all bars and restaurants getting closed down by 11:30 PM itself. We spent very short time in the restaurant and came to the hotel back by 1AM.

Then morning next day, we got up ready and had break fast at hotel and checked out. We had lunch in the pondicherry itself and started our departure to Bangalore. The police start the checking interstate cars as usual. While coming on the way near Thindavanam, one bike hit the wild pig which was crossing across the road, three people in the bike fell down on the road, thank god, nothing to happened to them except one guy got major injuries. We immediately called ambulance and waited there till Ambulance come and helped them to board the ambulance.
Then I got little disappointed and thought of staying back in the Tiruvannamalai. We decided to stay back in the town, We had not seen the Tiruvannamalai Temple. So we stayed in the hotel nearby temple. My friends did shopping the clothes for the temple. We do not find the decent bar and restaurants in TN. Better you should always plan accordingly. The morning, we had darshan at Temple and departed the city morning. We reached the bangalore at around 1PM in the after after having biriyani near hosur.
