We rented two cars and had Divya and Taru zip us around. After gathering the entire group in Chennai, we took the East Coast Road down to Pondicherry, similar to Highway 1 in the US. Pondicherry is gorgeous and one of the best parts about it was how close everything was. We took shelter at the Ginger Hotel on one side of town and got to see the beach and Aurobindo Ashram in the French part of town. It's really interesting to see the contrast between the French, cobblestone part of town and the more Indian side of town.
On our way back to Chennai to get back on Sunday, we stopped in Mahabalipuram, which is known for its beaches and temples. The laid-back way of life and swaying palm trees were things we didn't necessarily want to leave on Sunday, but said goodbye to the heat and sunshine of Tamil Nadu to return for work on Monday.
After being in Hyderabad during the week for the annual optimization summit, about half the team took off to Tamil Nadu to check out Pondicherry, a former French colony in south India. Famous for its beaches, French architecture, and natural beauty, we were all geared up for a relaxing weekend before returning back to Delhi.
