Sunday evening seems to be family night at the beach in Pondicherry. What earlier in the day was small groups of wandering folks, became a sea of humanity in the evening. As eeveryone celebrates the cool sea breeze, street vendors hawk their goods. We are offered and endless number of chess and backgammon sets, small drums, and food. The crowd seems tranquil and happy. The street is blocked, and there are no horns! What a paradise. We didn't mind missing our movie, beause the people watching was so good. Children begged for another ice cream, and young couples enjoyed being close under the cover of darkness. Pondicherry certainly has resort feel - very different from the rest of India which we have seen so far.
