Pondicherry is not Goa. Pondicherry has
no shacks.
Pondicherry has few bars. Pondicherry has reasonably priced alcohol.
Pondicherry has a French quarter. This is where you will stay. Or
nowhere else
in Pondicherry. Pondicherry has a Tamil Quarter. This is where you will
eat.
You may eat in the French quarter. But Kothu Parotta is better than
Creole
food. So you will not eat anywhere else. You will go surfing in
Pondicherry.
Once in the morning and once in the evening. You will drink twenty
litres of sea-water. You will not be afraid of the deep ocean. You will
pee in your shorts. You will eat a Spanish omelette at
Bodhi Café. You will not use sunscreen. Fuck sunscreen. You will show
people
you got sunburned in Pondicherry. You may rent a bike in Pondicherry.
Not a
Bullet or a crotch rocket. You will rent a TVS 50 or TVS Excel. You may
rent a
bicycle in Pondicherry. But you will evaporate by the time you leave
Mission
Street. So don’t rent a bicycle in Pondicherry. You will use TVS 50 to
go to
Auroville. Auroville is not in Pondicherry. Auroville is in Auroville.
You will
go to the Auroville Bakery. Auroville Bakery is the best bakery in
Auroville. Auroville
Bakery is the best bakery in Pondicherry. Auroville Bakery is the best
bakery
in the World. The crust on the baguette makes a cracking sound. The
sourdough is dense and
lovely. The croissant is delightful. You can pay cash in the Auroville
Bakery. There
is no cash used inside Auroville. All transactions are exchange based in
Auroville. You will barter your skills in exchange for a Pizza at
Tonto’s. You
have no skill besides laptop surfing. You will not be able to eat at
Tonto’s. You
will feel useless in Auroville. You will feel useless in Pondicherry.
You will
feel useless in Life. You will vow to learn a life-skill in Bangalore.
You will
type a blogpost. And that’s where it’ll end.
On a laptop in Bangalore.
Good one!
