My LOng delayed vacation....

Hey all
well I had been to pondy over the weekend...a beautiful weekend...very scenic...and Jessu (u guys remember her my class mate from JNC) we left from Chennai at around ten...and had a quick dinner at a place called galloping gooseberry...and left to pondy by eleven fifteen...we reached pondy by twelve forty five...had wine and chips...and crashed...
next morning...was beautiful… went to Auroville this no case, no creed, no religion based international city conceived long ago by the mother as they call her...its just so cool a self sustaining village...plays host to loads of firangs.. its so Cosmo in lifestyle a shame on us…anyways went till the meditation hall…and then roamed there for a bit…
next we went to the city of Pondicherry ten kms from Auroville…and went straight to eat… the place we went was called rendezvous Vivekh had a silver pomfret steak and Jessu had some chicken in red wine sauce…me had… vegetable shashlik…truly yummy and drowned it with beer…we also had their oh so yummy cheesecake some gateaux and mousse…
Then was the best part of the day... shopping…bought skirts, some shirts...and shopped everywhere for little trinkets and souvenirs. We also walked through the French colonies…truly spectacular…
Had dinner on the beach side...at this place called Satsanga…loads to drink and less to eat…their French and Italian cuisines are to die for…Anyways after getting thoroughly tired after our moonlight walks on the beach we decided to crash…our resort called the St. James Beach Resort had a wonderful beach...So it was perfect…
The morning brought us a delightful surprise…Vivekh took Jessu and me for a rejuvenating Kerala Ayurvedic massage and a French breakfast….Don’t know which was better…the massage…I bet…man it was truly…orgasmic…anyway shopping beckoned us again and we really could not resist and Vivekh who had until now been aloof and away from the shopping bug also susceptibly and willingly got smitten by it and splurged a lot in some corduroys and Pepe T. shirts…Vivekh also convinced Jessu to buy a skirt and he bought both of us some truly great acupressure kits…
Well lunch was on the beach road at a boutique hotel called Promenade- a hi design hotel…and obviously everything from the décor to the buffet was in keeping with the style…we had some beer, and oh Jessu had some coconut drink…and I had a strawberry margarita frozen…the buffet was good spread and though much Indian we savored every bite…
The drive back to the resort was gloomy because we really wanted to stay longer…and had no intentions to leave…our work and Jessu’s fight made us come back…and we really have made a pact to come back for more…
And I must say this was the best gift we could have given Jessu for her birthday…
