Day 2

I always dreamt maybe you can say from childhood. Yah ,i dreamt to celebrate my birthday near beach cutting cake at midnight 12AM such a crazy dream i had. This year my dream comes true. Even nowadays, you can see bollywood celebrities go for Maldives to celebrate there birthday's. Everyone can't offer Maldives and I'm a budget traveller. So, i decided to go for pondicherry which is affordable and perfect destination for me to celebrate my birthday. I'm a solo female traveller and i decided to go for pondicherry and i prepared myself a itinerary of pondicherry. That time i was staying in tamilnadu. I asked some of my friends who travelled pondy earlier. Searched in Google for destinations to visit nearby.

My birthday was on August 7th so, i left Coimbatore on 5th night took a midnight train from Coimbatore at 12:30  and reached pondy around 10:30 on 6th morning. Rented a scooty 300rs/day near railway station. Scooted all the way to Auroville . I booked my stay near Auroville because there is a lot of beautiful beaches . I decided to stay in backpacker's hostel because it is safety for solo as well as female travellers and it is affordable too.

I stayed in Time travellers hostel near Auroville. The location has a amazing vibes. Staying in rooftop hut and shared accomodation with another 2 female travellers. I reached hostel on 6th morning around 12 . On the way i ate breakfast and head down to Auroville. As soon as i reached that hostel i got an amazing positive vibes because i met so many travellers like me. So, it gave me more confidence and i felt comfortable too. There, i asked them for mud bath they have only not used from past many days. When i asked they told me if you also help me to clean we can go for it. Then i also joined in cleaning and we prepared a mud bath finally. Me and one girl started later, everyone joined with us. I had a great time with everyone during mud bath,had a beautiful conversations with everyone. In less time we got to know about each other and later in evening headdown to rock beach. Watched mesmerizing sunset and bought a cake for myself and gifted a beautiful clothes. Waited till 12AM and cutted a cake near beach ,sang myself a birthday song and ate a cake. Leftover cake i gave everyone who are at the beach. Also met some people saying that there's birthday on that day gave some cake for them too.

Day 3

Next day, i woke up with the nature vibes at hostel and went to Matri Mandir took some beautiful photos and said goodbye to everyone at hostel and headed down to pondicherry city. In pondicherry, i kept my luggage in railway station clock room and visited nearby destination. First, i visited Sacred heart Basilica church which is near railway station and went to Arulmigu Manakula Vinayagar devasthanam took a blessings from lord Ganesha and with a elephant too. Then i spent my evenings in rock beach later left scooty from where i rented and headed down to railway station.

Wahh, what a day i gifted myself beautifull memories. I'm really proud of it. I hugged myself and i started loving myself more and more.

If you have a dream go and Chase for it because no one will do it for us. "Life is short so, leave the way you wanted to live always".
