Hi Ratheesh,
Came across your blog, I see that you are very much well versed about Pondicherry.
Can you help me with things to go/do during my stay in December end in Pondicherry.
I want to cover major beaches, cafes and churches, experience auroville and if any other things you suggest. We are vegetarian so good dishes to try, too.
As I am coming in Christmas, I would like to experience any Christian event if it will be going on that time.
If any good bike rental, you know of.
