Pondicherry in Pictures

Pondicherry isn't just about the rocky beach sans the sands, quite unlike Namma Madras. Honestly, this is a place I wanted to write a post about. However I am so lost in its beauty, that words come a cropper. So why not a photo essay, methought!

Hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I did, while clicking!

Heaps and heaps

So very Western - like hot cross buns!

Sudden shift in era - we still have typewriters!

Notary services

This one was a total surprise - a box like place with not enough space to even stand. This man's busy at work on a late Saturday afternoon.

And so was the tailor busy!

The cops stop by for a juice - their caps, that's what this picture is for!

I am sure this is a lovely siesta he's enjoying!

Beware of Dogs!

Because junk jewelry could never get boring!

Oui, Rendez-vous!

A house can't look prettier

Hanging paper garden - beautiful bougainvillea!

Pretty pinks!
