I wonder how I never realised how awesome Pondy is.

But then after eating the yummiest chicken du vin in a roof top
restaurant, talking for two hours about the benefits of World War I
with a drunk stranger in Bindaas Cafe, writing like crazy in the park
and the cafes and sipping hot lemon tea at two in the night
overlooking the sea at Le Cafe, I’m surprised I even left the place.
