Pondicherry seems to be a very far away place. The nearest airport is 3 hours away, and so is the nearest railway station. Everything is in Chennai, and everything thats there in Pondicherry is just namesake. A stupid dumbass airport, and a railway station that has about 2 trains a day, the counter of which is primarily used for booking tickets from Chennai to everywhere else.

I am having to travel to a place called Mavelikara, and the only way I can reach there is to travel to Chennai and take a train. Im sure that the travel from Chennai to Mavelikara and back would be very comfortable, but the journey from Pondicherry to Chennai is the worst part. You will have to take a slow moving bus or shell out about Rs 2000 to get a taxi. Im a poor man and I dont have a car, and I dont really want to tire myself riding my bike all the way.
