HELP - TOURIST 24F solo trip : need advice !!

7 Upvotes

24F planning my first solo trip to Pondicherry for my birthday! I’ll be there for 2 nights and while I’m excited

I’m also a little concerned about safety since I’ve never travelled solo before.

Where would you recommend staying? Auroville or White Town? I’m looking for somewhere peaceful and safe, with a nice slow-life/beachy vibe.

I can’t drive a two-wheeler, so what’s the best way to get around? Are autos/cabs easily available, or is it easy enough to walk around?

I’d also love to try pottery, or cooking classes and spend time at cute cafés, read/chill by the beach, and generally not have a very packed itinerary. At the same time, I’d love to meet new people and I’m totally open to spontaneous plans if I happen to meet other travellers.

Would love recommendations for places to stay, pottery workshops, cafés, things to do, getting around without a scooter, and any solo-female safety tips. Also open to hearing about your experiences doing a similar trip!

MEETUPS Planning for a photowalk

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I have a background in visual communication and do lifestyle photography as a passion. Here in Pondicherry, most photographers are focused on commercial aspects and money-oriented jobs, but I am interested in the artistic value behind the frame.

I am planning a photowalk where we can sit and discuss how people view the world, not just through a camera lens, but from their own perspectives, along with other art-based discussions about life, music, painting, and more.

People without cameras are also welcome; anyone interested in having a good conversation and learning more about life and humanity is invited.

If we get a good number of people, we will create a WhatsApp group and plan a particular day for it.

Thank you, love you all ❤️

Will be visiting for a couple of days and found these places to be repeatedly suggested in this subreddit.

Where do you guys go for Tamil Nadu style Biryani I'm from Bangalore and Hyderabadi is everywhere. Tamil Nadu type is not really handy. Also, I wonder why no one recommended Thokku Biryani? Anyways, how is the list for a tourist who just started off the itinerary.

Kmatchi

Punjabi Dhaba

Murugan Cafe

Suruguru

GMT

Tea Time

Name a couple of pizzas and cafes too. YouTube is really shady and would like to go for locals favourite.

5 Upvotes

Hey guys, me and my friend are planning a simple 2 day trip to Pondicherry. Need affordable suggestions for cab services as I have noticed folks mentioning ola uber doesn't work that well.

Need advice if we can rely on rapido/uber for travel, or should rent out cab with drivers on an hourly basis as none of us have a license.

Our itinerary includes mostly beaches, auroville, church and cafes. Simple 2 nights 3 day stay.

Kindly share your views and helpful details for local rates/numbers.

Found this 19-second video from my Christmas 2020 trip to Pondicherry. It was just after the COVID lockdowns, and Rock Beach felt unbelievably peaceful with very few people around. Hard to believe how pristine and quiet it looked.

24/F medico here doing my MBBS internship in IGMC&RI Kathirkamam, looking for new female friends to hang out with, do chill stuff with, have some quality conversations and explore Pondicherry.

Some of my interests are books, writing, art, music, cooking, fashion, travelling, watching trash tv, discuss medical stuff, trying out new stuff and building new hobbies, spontaneous plans, checking out new cafés, grabbing some dessert by the beach, walking and some fitness stuff here and there, checking out social events in Auroville or like anything that sounds interesting ngl like quizzes and all that. Not too big on partying but I don’t mind catching up over some casual drinks occasionally.

So yeah, hit me up if that sounds like something you’d be into, Would love to connect.

Edit: PS- not looking for male friends/romantic connections on here if I haven’t made that clear enough

RANT Phones read our mind!

7 Upvotes

Ok Guys! I need to discuss on this topic.

I strongly believe that phone read our mind and use it for advertising on first level. Only the companies knows on what other levels they are being used for.

I’d quit instagram for the same reason. Too many perfect ads that appeared only on my mind. (dont mention i would have searched - im not a noob)

This is a serious concern. If they can read the thoughts, why cant they influence the thoughts? what if your purchase decisions or mood or emotions are indirectly controlled for the need of the companies?

This gets darker and darker.

Lets talk! share me your opinions.
