After understanding that there are no available seats back to Bangalore on the Sunday bus, I opted for staying another day in Pondi. I was not sad at all, as I really wanted to stay for a little longer...
On the Monday we got up really early and went out to see the studying area were 70 Norwegian students spend 10 weeks of their lives in Pondicherry, as part of cultural studies in Social anthropology, Peace and Conflict. I was taken away by what I saw when stepping out of the private bus. "This is paradise" I thought, and was looking around to check if the camera crew of either Robinson or Love Island was hiding in the bushes. As the pictures reveals (although no pictures can capture what this place is about) I just gaped for the next half an hour. "Can anyone really focus and learn anything out here" I wondered... but as I asked around, and spent the day there myself, you tune into a very relaxing working mode. I read about hundred pages, had the most amazing meal, and then we went to the beach just a kilometer away. I have to say that India never stops surprising me. Just enjoy the photos...
The bus journey home went really well. I surprisingly slept for most of the time and when I arrived in Bangalore I got a rickshaw straight away and in bed around 6.10 AM. I am so pleased with this trip - as I have both managed to loosen up, feel a stronger connection with my purpose here, eating well, walk around like a tourist, seeing some wonderful monuments, meeting lots of amazing people and bade in the sea. thank you so much for a wonderful time Carolina and Maria.
Ill be on Skype tonight if anyone wants to talk,
Lots of warmth and love from
Me
