Early February 2016 we traveled to Chennai by road - a distance of 500 kms and a world class multi-lane highway. After spending a few days in Chennai we left for Auroville in Podicherry and spent a while there.The major spectacle there is the Matrimandir - a massive spherical domed structure constructed primarily for meditation. We had pizza`and fruit juice at a French managed eatery named Tanto. We drove on to Cuddalore and spent the night at the Circuit House.

Both the pizza andt the domed structure are beautiful sights. Both are essential to human beings. The pizza fuels the body, gives it energy; the Matrimandir fuels the soul, the spirit, through meditation.
