Lets Relax a bit..
On the final day of our trip, we woke up at 10:30AM. Tabassum and Manju left the room first in search of a clinic. Later we joined them at the Hot Breads and had Breakfast and Lunch..:) Soon after we went for a ride on the road near the sea.(Forgot the name of the road) As the weather was pleasant, it permitted us to sit and relax at the shore. One long session of photography where Manju and Aarati competed hard with each other, showcasing their skills with the poor camera(s) which might have thought "Kin logon ke haathon mein phans gaya?". After hanging around(Without any Rope) there for an hour or more we went to the Bar at hotel Ajanta. The hot dudes(Off course I am talking about Manju and myself) cooled themselves with a bottle of CHILD bear each, while the Cool babe(Tabassum) became hot after a glass of hot drink( Bloody Mary). The other babe(Aarati) was not sure about her "Temerature" and preferred to remain as she was. After this we were back in our room. Went to the roof on the first floor, spent some time on the Big Swing(Dont know what it is called) hanging there. Came to the room and played Pictionary against Aarati's wish. Manju & I made one team and the ladies formed the other. After a fiercely fought battle, where few punches were exchanged, Manju and I emerged as the clear WINNERS. Next we had an Arm Wrestleing competition in which except Tabassum all participated. We packed our bags and other stuffs before leaving the room for our final outing of a wonderful trip. Again we went to the shore, sat on the rocks for long till it was dark. Next we went to our favourite coffee shop. Took snaps of the person(Subramaya - Not Sure)making coffee in his own unique way. Then went for a drive again and finally went to 41 degrees to have dinner, as we had promised.:) This is a roof top restaurant which is open 24 hours. After making ourselves comfortable at a nice place, did our final rounds of videography where each one gave their individual views about the trip. That was when I realized how bad I talk in front of a camera, words didnt come easily for me:) Another reason for us coming to this place was to meet Mr Ashok(Hope i got it right) who had helped us in need even though we were total strangers to him. But we could not meet him, so we left a note for him. It was almost 9:00PM and we had to surrender the scooters. The previous day's accident didnt even spare the vehicles. One of the scooter was handicapped with the loss of Head light and the rear mirror and we wanted to make sure that when we return them, the shop keeper doesnt notice the damages:). I and Aarati had the GREAT responsibilty to make this happen and we didnt disappoint. We reached the shop, parked the bikes, took the PAN cards and returned back to the place where other 2 were waiting for us. To our surprise the guy didnt even check the scooters. Next we went to Hot Breads to get some Chocolate Crossaint parceled for the next day. But not a single crossaint was available and we settled for a Cake. We came back to the room, picked up our luggages, wrote down few Good words in the visitor's book and took an Auto Rickshaw to the bus stand.

Everything good has to come to an end...
We reached the bus stand with around 15 more minutes remaining for the scheduled departure of the bus. Once inside the bus, Tabassum occupied the window seat and Aarati got the most comfortable seat in the entire bus..:). I didnt expect repetetion of the funny incidents which took place during our journey from B'lore to Pondicherry as all were too tired. Tabassum being injured and tired slept off soon. But yes Manju, Aarati and myself started playing Antaakshari and it went on for long until we were stuck on the word "Ga". While our brains were searching for a song beginning with "Ga" from our Bollywood database, we shifted our discussion to other topics until we were asked to keep quite by a co-passenger. Like 3 obedient little kids we obliged to the request made to us. By that time our brains and body were back in sync. I and Manju preferred to have some sleep and as always Aarati didnt had any other choice but to be awake with the occassional naps. So, thats how our Memorable Pondicherry trip ended with only and only one regret, a song with "Ga".
The Experience...
Only a few days back, Pondicherry was a place which had fascinated us for its beaches, architecture, lanscapes and off course cheap liquor :) After being there and having experienced the place for 3 days, now we know that Pondy is not only about beautiful place but more than that its about beautiful, helpful and friendy people.
What it meant to me...
For me Pondy was all about being at a beautiful place with 3 wonderful wonderful friends(Theek hai ab neeche wapas apni seat par aa jao, zyaada udo mat). All of them unique in their own way. Every moment spent with them during those 3 days will remain with me forever. It brought 4 of us even more closer to each other(Ab, Ganda mat socho, corrupt mind).
The Hangover...
The Pondicherry hangover is hard to overcome. But as I mentioned earlier, everything good has to come to an end. Thats how life is. However, I never said that we cant have better, more enjoyable and adventurous trips in near future. So, come on guys, whats next: GOAAAAAAA or MUNARRRRRRRRRRRR or JAIPURRRRRRRRRRR or is it MAURITIUSSSSSSSSS. Aur haan, agli baar hum train ya flight mein ja rahe hain, arre yaar raat bhar bus mein bina soye rehna mushkil hai. Is someone smiling?
