Advaya's third birthday in Pondicherry...

We wanted Advaya's Birthday to be celebrated at a,( what the kids call a HAPPY PLACE), beach. So, the four of us and the kids' ammamma and tata drove away to Pondicherry and enjoyed a four day trip. A couple of visits to the beaches, a boat ride on the backwaters of Chunnambar island, a brief, relaxing time at Paradise beach, a visit to auroville, mahabalipuram, chennai and kanchi....was how we did the trip. The kids had a great time and so did we. A birthday, different from the 'usual cake cutting, partytime with friends' thing. But that's we are trying all the time, to break away from the mould.
