Botanical Garden, Pondicherry

I am in Pondy for a week break, got a chance to go to Botanical Garden (when we didnt get ticket for a movie and don't know where to spend the afternoon) :)

The garden was bit shaggy and clearly not in a good maintenance, but still the essence of the century years old trees remembered my sweet days i spent there in olden days.

I played cricket in the garden with my school friends and even studied there for my semester exams during my college. It is one of my favorite spot (which was in good shape in my school days)

Here's one thing i saw new in the garden, which is actually very old :)

Standing under the Oldest specimen of the country

Hope it regains its beauty very quick.
