Pondy always has a beautiful surprise for me

 In all these years that I have been visiting Pondicherry, most of them solo, I started to notice that each trip has a unique flavour to it.

Sometimes it's the co-joined stars

Sometimes, some random guy playing Guitar and singing in a soulful voice 

Sometimes, kayaking and mangroves 

Sometimes, temple callings and blissful Darshana,

Sometimes industrial telescope 🔭 at 50rs per session of 5mins to look at the full moon

Sometimes the healing waves and full moon..

Sometimes, just being kids with school kids and playing with the waves 

Etc etc.

This time was no different, one was the beautiful drizzles (off season) and an old lady, a garland seller,  tieing a Gajra on my hairs...and even returning 10 rs when I bargained that 50 seems too much and that I am running out of my own cash change...she definately had a big heart than mine. 

I wore it all thru the evening and when I returned back to my accommodation, the buds had bloomed and the fragrance filled the air around me. As if the air captures a certain episode in time and that was playing in my head and had the power to instantly transport me to that blissful evening walk near the beach, in my head.

After bath, I am still wearing it and my being feels so whole. Lady said : Nandri (thank you, in Tamil) I replied: Nandri. You are lovely Paati 💕🙏

Her smile and shine in the eyes had me.

And not just this, a song was constantly on my lips and mind...Kanmani la la laaa la la laa...and when I returned back to the room, Then I hear the artist in on of the live singing cafe singing it. Made my evening 💕🙏

Day2/2

A noon near the beach, while resting and romancing the waves, a bunch of butterflies were constantly flying from left to right 💕💕😍. 

It was magical for me.
