    The video is nice and featuring at the top of youtube playlist when I look up Pondicherry in google..So Kudos to you for that!! The audio goes extremely low mode in phases during the entire video, so one has to exert oneself to hear what you are saying even at full volume turned on..So best of luck with that on you next video (y)
