Paris Again








Well, I am writing after long time. Lot has happened in between. I was quite busy in work. I was busy in building and setting my team. I was busy in preparing my travel documents. I travelled to Paris again. Again for two months. So I hope to write posts on my trip here.

I was in Paris three months before. When I was in India, there were few attacks in Paris and France. So how is Paris after that? Have things changed in between? I am not sure. At first look everything appears same as before. But, now I see a Police van outside the famous news channel. A heavily equipped police guard is standing 24 / 7 outside news agencies door near my hotel. But, people of Paris appears same to me. Same smiling, cooperating people to each other. I hear same Bonjour, Merci, Pardon sound whenever I am travelling or at office, or shop, or hotel. Even though I feel little more concerned now while visiting places. May be its unnecessary fear, but its there.

Weather here is changing everyday. Sometime its cloudy and it becomes sunny one hour after. Its unpredictable. Now, day is getting longer. It is bright even at 7.30PM. Daytime will increase even more in coming two months. Though day is longer, still its cold. I came from Chennai. When I was in Chennai, temperature there was 35 deg C. It was very hot. So it is taking some time for me to adjust these huge change in temperature. Same thing is going to happen when I will return.

I hope to find some time to share my experience on this blog. :)

Weekend at Pondicherry

Few days ago I went to Pondicherry or Puducherry with family. It was French colony before Independence. Pondicherry is at about 160 kms from Chennai. It is favorite trip destination for various reasons. There are some beautiful beaches, rocky beaches. You can buy any brand of bear, whiskey, vodka etc. at cheaper rates. In Chennai you won't get all brands as it's restricted by state government. So many people go for enjoying hard drinks. Pondicherry still have French flavor in its life. The old buildings have French architectural touch. Policeman caps resembles that with French police. Even some Church resemble with saint Notre Dame at Paris. I stayed at Green Palace hotel. It was really great place to stay. They have studied French hotels very well. I received all the services that I use to get in Paris. Resemblance is astonishing. At approximately 2kms from hotel there is a very good Rock beach. The place is great. There is a road parallel to the beach where you can ta...

Public Transpotation in Paris

Paris is famous for its museum, for Eiffel tower, as a city of romance but also it is famous for its best ever public transport service. City is divided in various zones. There are four ways of transportation, bus, metro, tram and RER (it is a railway). But the best part is they are well connected with each other. For regular travelers it is possible to buy just one Navigo card. It is the pass or card, by using which it is possible to travel by any of the above means in any zone of the city. So good thing is, it is literally possible to travel at any part of the city without carrying a single cent for complete one month.  Based on zones and the tracks of metro, tram etc. city maps are available. These maps are elaborate and self-explanatory. Once understood how to read, then it is possible to roam at any part of city without opening mouth. Tram or metro are running at every 3 to 5 minutes. So waiting is minimal. Inside the metro, or tram or RER, all stations on that root ...

Mahabalipuram: The Land of Mahabali

I am writing again after another six months. I have to keep visiting here regular. Actually, initial plan was to add at least one post per month but it appears that even it is difficult. I will try to stick this plan although lot of things coming up in next few days. I will discuss it in next post. I started this blog to share my experiences in life, wherever I stay. Currently I am in Chennai and I am sharing my life here. I don’t want to make it a travel blog. Generally I tend to do that more may be it is human tendency . :)  Recently I visited Mahabalipuram a small town near Chennai just 55 Km away. It was second trip. When I first visited, I was thinking I am visiting just another temple place. For those who don’t know, there are many old and beautiful temples in Tamil-Nadu. But, I am not big fan of temples. Why? Well not now on this. I rather avoid discussing religious topics. Mahabalipuram is different and very beautiful place to visit. I am happy that I went there...
