Random Thoughts while on Road

Last Saturday, I made a trip to Pondicherry. Some impressions that stuck on from the trip: 

• People spend so much time capturing memories that the only memory they would have of an outing would be of capturing memories. 
• Heaven alone knows why girls wear sleeveless dresses and then put on arm length gloves 
• A Punjabi mother-in-law would put her daughter-in-law in place, irrespective of the surroundings and the audience. 
• If Auroville is pitched as a tourist destination, I wonder why there is no public transport connecting it to the main town. 
• Success has only a limited bearing on happiness – my trip was unsuccessful and yet I returned home happy 
• A lone tree in a stretch of grass can hold your attention for better part of an hour. 
• People guard “sanctuaries of peace” so zealously, they remain the only perturbed ones around; a typical case of thorns guarding the rose. 
• Rs. 120 for 8 km ride – I think Pondicherry is as bad as Chennai  
• Kids are fun to watch – if you are not the parent.
