LIFE ON ROAD: PONDICHERRY - FINDING A HIDDEN MINIRAMP IN AUROVILLE

This is my status update on facebook by the end of my first day in Pondicherry and that explains it all

pondicherry is undoubtedly my fav city in India.People are so friendly and helpful and its a paradise for hitchhikers.

I traveled around the auroville forest for around 3-4hrs hoping to find a mini ramp hidden in woods.I knew about that from my friends in holystoked.I roamed around the place asking everyone for the exact location but none of the locals knew about it.Finally a Japanese girl on royal enfield said that she knew the spot and dropped me there.Actually she was going to golden globe which is nearly 1 km before that miniramp but she drove all the way to the rmp dropped me there and went back.Now these are the tourist who live in AUROVILLE.

Auroville wants to be a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities. The purpose of Auroville is to realise human unity.

So i am not really surprised for their kindness and helpful nature as they are living in a place created for human unity.

when i reached mini ramp i knew exactly why none of the locals knew its exact location.Its well hidden inside the wood.Take a look at these pictures and you will know what i am talking about.

I skated there alone for about an hour.Sadly haven't got any pics of me skating cuz i was alone.On my way back an old lady from Switzerland gave me ride on her FZ.She said she was going all the way to the main center and she can drop me there.When i found a spot i was so tempted to take a pic of it.I told her that i will get down and catch a ride from someone after taking pics.But she killed the engine,parked bike and took pics of me.We got back again and she left me where she promise :-)

I couldn't believe that she actually did that.I was expecting free rides in Auroville but this is way beyond what i expected.

These are the pics clicked by her

That evening i went to Auroville beach with frnd.There is nothing much to admire.That place is dirty to the core and is poorly maintained.Thats one beach i never want to go again.
