Payment Book Stall In Front Of Jambu Book Shop
Weekly markets have always been a confluence of people from different walks of life. Riots of colors mashed up with economical offerings, a wide variety and huge bargaining opportunities are just few attractions.
But a person like me has other reasons to be there - to observe 'people-mix' of the city and to feel the city 'raw' and without any 'cosmetic effects'. Such weekly markets are the best gateways to know the city you are in. I had lived in Pondicherry for more than two years and has loved the quality of life it offers - peaceful, away from the mad rush and pollution of big metros like Delhi & Mumbai.
Like most Indian cities Pondicherry too host a weekly market- Sunday Market. It stretches long on MG Road and Jawaharlal Nehru Road and the point where these two roads cross other is the central point of this market. I had always made a point to be there and take notes and click photos before freaking at pondy beach.

My shopping from this weekly markets were mostly the CDs of old movies some of which I grabbed @ Rs. 5 per CD ! And not to say books and old editions of Readers Digest. Sipping hot or coffee while shopping is another thing which is a treat.
For someone like me who prefers to live alone and be with oneself it was a good way to spend long never ending evenings followed by a dinner at Anand Bhavan and finally before heading for my room to have darshan of Lord Ganesha at Manakula Vinaygar temple.
