Le Pondy

Le Pondy

23^rd October 2010 a day with my School buddies.

It was a pre-planned trip because my friend Gopi has come from Dubai for a vacation. All our guys took off from all our works and planned a one day trip.

(Le Pondy)

Initially the trip was planned to Tada falls but since there was very little water flowing we changed to Pondy.....

The whole trip was wrapped up in almost 13 hours but the things which happened in that single day OMG, was not like that....we just thought it will be yet another a normal hang out but we were wrong , what happened read the post.....

Here we go, it was bright Saturday morning, I went to place were Gopi was staying then in a short while the two Red Machine’s arrived, one was “A Star” of Abi and “Pulsar 180”of Syed.

The guys who joined the thrill with me were => Abi, Deepan, Gopi, Noorul and Syed.

At the start it was a normal start, we drove away with two pit stoppings and reached Pondy at about 12. The drama started there, Noorul started to say hey we shall start the trip with a lunch. We then stopped in some street because parking the car was a difficult task then unfortunately no lunch were there then drove near bus stand and after nearly one hour found a good buffet restaurant. Wow it was a damn worth buffet for Rs.200 we all grabbed it soon and rushed away for starting the trip.

Then reached the beach and enjoyed the shore. It was rare sight of beach where there was no sand in the banks of the sea but there were only rocks so couldn’t wet our feet in it. Then went to a nice spot something like a broken bridge, it was a great spot, were we can move almost to the top of the sea water and watch the shores hitting the pillars from the top view. We just relaxed and retuned in a casual walk.

(Awesome Spot)

Then real 1^st thrill started, we all were returning to the place where we parked the vehicle when we noticed Syed’s bike was carried by Police Patrol for parking in the “Vehicle Free Zone” and Abi’s car was the only car left behind because of “G”. We said all possible reasons to bring down the Bike but it was in Vain. The Police said he will give after moving to some distance. Syed and Noorul went behind the van, and rest marched towards the Car, meanwhile everybody started to rush towards the beach, we too rushed and we noticed a bunch of Dolphins diving near the shore, it was a rare and beautiful sight. Pity Syed and Noorul missed it  !! lol !

Then we guys planned to visit the AuroVille but it was late to visit that place, so we guys decided chalo lets pack up and go home.

We were quite happy the trip was going to end and met each other....

But the trip was not ended it again rose up with a new spirit with a comma.

It was almost the 20 min from Pondy when we moved; we saw series of Vehicle lined up. We thought it was Vehicle check up, since we were in “G” Vehicle we over took and went forward. When an angry man came and bumped loud with his hand. Abi rose up anger, then a man from behind came apologized and said no vehicle will move since there is some Strike was going on for Death in the main ECR. Then the same angry man came and said take a reverse for 500m and asked to take a left into the village and take a U turn which will lead to the other end of the road crossing the crowded people. The man said so casually that we thought it will be a small U turn. Believing his words we took reverse and took the left turn, and reached one place. Believe me guys it was exactly like “Saroja” movie were in important stage the crew take similar short cut and ends up in a miserable story.

(In the Midst of Confusion)

From there we just asked how to reach ECR everyone showed one direction, and we followed no sooner after few kms Syed who was in bike noticed a sign board showing Dindivanam 17 kms. Because if we lead to that road it will take 3 hours to reach Chennai. We were shell shocked and stopped the car. It was a dark road and nobody was there we were just confused. Then two young chaps came for help and said there are two ECR, one is the regular which we all are aware and the other connecting Dindivanam, then we realized we have took the wrong route. We thought to go back but those two chaps said the strike is still on and it will take time. Then those guys just directed to some other route were another U turn was there, and then we realized this was the great U turn which the man who directed first told. It was a real dark road in the midst of Baniyan Tree, almost a ghost movie effect,  really was an awesome experience to travel. Thanks to our Navigator => Syed with his Pulsar who stopped in desired pits and directed us in the right path. It was almost 7 when we touched ECR again, almost around 2 hours we lost the time, and then we drove to our best and stopped near Mayajaal and had our dinner...

Folks the content to read may not look so interesting and thrilling but mark my words if you would have experienced that last 4 hours of thrill without knowing whether we will reach ECR or not and whether we are going in the right path and that too in dark roads, wow I bet you all will experience the thrill.

It was a real memorable day of my Life, I dint inform my dad and mom that I am going to Pondy, only after reaching there I informed that I am here, to my surprise when I reached home they dint scold because that strike was telecasted in News channel, so they got to know why I was late from the trip.

Thus here ends the thrilling post....

Cheers for you guys for your support and reading it.
