Your travelogues make me glue to my monitor. Nice and crisp as always.

Nice travelogue and snaps. The food seems to be a perfect blend of the cultures.
I am wondering about the generic name of the third fish snap. The first one is the Parrot followed by Shark.

Thanks Utopian.
Thanks for the names of those beautiful fishes. The third one I have no clue!

Excellent travelouge laluks, I have been to pondicherry so many times but never seen it so beautiful, but on seeing the place through your eyes it is fantastic, a completely new perspective.

Another one from Civved series, keep it coming Lalu ji.

All my life I too have travelled; travelled around the world with no big idea of what exactly and how to enjoy. It just used to be a checklist of how many places / countries / continents we have "ticked" + a few photos for proof. The very perspective of travel has changed to a new dimension man; Thanks for sharing your time, eyes and brains --> in today's mechanically operating society, such eye-openers are really needed.

I remember Sam and his epilogues too now (along with his experience at the Dunes Village Resort - which I did too last April); though he is not here with us, his immense thoughts are definitely floating amongst us.

It is not just "Love Cars and Live Cars", it is also "Love Life and Live Life". I am definitely getting better on both these phrases with this single web-community 'T-BHP'. Thanks for all your continuous contributions.

(Slightly off-topic: Motivated with your Kerala episodes, we <<includes fellow BHPian Jetta_Volkmann>> are travelling around Alapuzha this weekend; wish us good luck too )

Cheers!

This travelogue inspires me to this beautiful union territory. Lovely set of pics and nice narration as well.

Loved that pic with the caption "The place had an old world charm!"

Cant conclude who is more beautiful - Pondicherry, your civic or your family

[Vancho]

Wow.. Another superb log. I never realised that there were so many parks and churches in Pondy though I have been there countless times. (Most of the trips were in search of 'you know what' ).
Im glued to all your t-logs and keep reading the older ones over and over again. If I ever get kicked out of this job, Lalu sir, you are responsible.

Hi Laluks

As always, your TLs have a wonderful narration and great pictures. Your narration gives the local flavor and the pictures tell the stories - in a thousand unspoken words.

Cheers

Hi Laluks,
Somehow your travelogues are the best, even the last one to kerala was a masterpiece with the awesome pics and love for food.I was based in Pondicherry for the last six months-every thing seemed familiar to me except- What time of the day were you clicking pics?almost everyplace put up is generally flooded with cars or people.As for the greenery at the Promenade i think you made at the right time, April and May can fry you.Possibly nothing can grow at that time of the year and a visit at that time can be the biggest mistake one can make
Regards
Savio

Thanks Savio

I was at the Promenade from 11:00 to 12:30 and French Colony after lunch say around 14:00 till 16:30 hours. The rains would have prevented the crowds, and a visiting Diplomat made sure the Goubert Avenue was empty.

Hi Laluks, Your "photologues" are refreshing as its been almost 12 years since I have visited pondy and I get the itch to go over these places in your travelogues. Always look forward to see your travelogues here. The photos on food sessions are so tempting and as good as usual.
In one of the photos, the tyres and wheels of Civvy looks stressed(parked in a sideways incline). I personally don't like parking it that way since I get a feeling that I am stressing the wheel mechanicals and always used to wonder if that will affect the alignment, camber & toe etc. But that's just me and my mental visualizations

Regarding the parking that was to prove the articulation capabilities of the independent suspension of Civvy

Awesome Narration and Pics, Your travelogues are a source for many of my weekend drives..

Hi laluks,

Great pictures and great camera work especially the butterfly picture, it's a wallpaper or a poster snap

It's been a while since I've been to Pondicherry (Puducherry), more than 2 years I guess. Your pictures are now making to think about planning for Pondi. Living close to pondi, it's shouldn't be hard task for me. You have a great companion there.

I've always been a fan of civic. The Civic was probably one of the best cars at a time that one can buy.

The low centre of gravity, long wheelbase, wide front and rear tracks and rigid body makes it feel nice and planted at all speeds. Body roll is well contained and the quick steering coupled with good front-end grip makes it particularly entertaining around corners. Braking inspires a lot of confidence and the Civic’s steering is quick – the Honda darts into corners and body control is quite good. Stringing a set of corners together is something the Civic enjoys too.

Wishing you many more happy miles ahead
