"ARISE, TRANSCEND THYSELF.THOU ART MAN AND THE WHOLE NATURE OF MAN IS TO BECOME MORE THAN HIMSELF."- Aurobindo( শ্রী অরবিন্দ)
The Français connexion
Pondichéry is a well planned city dominé by indo french nationals(40%) and accomodates a minority indigène francophonie(less than 2%). Not many people know that Pondichéry is called the IT hardware capital of India. The culture and the heritage is well preserved from getting diluted by révolution industrielle. The french colonial structures appeals to the aesthetic senses and makes you feel as if the past, present and future has converged in to étrangeté. The Aurobindo ashram is a serene place that vibrates positive energy and projects multiple dimensions of life. The place in and outside the ashram is well maintained with sign boards at every junction that says pondichéry ville immaculéé.
