There are places in India where culture and time stand still, where every door leads to somewhere new. - A photo gallery from Puducherry

- Araan Suares (Class XI) 

There are places in India where culture and time stand still, where every door leads to somewhere new. A small town located in the south of India defines the very idea of cultural integration. The idea that we are one people divided only by borders. My journey through Pondicherry (Puducherry) was part of a bigger expedition led by Woodstock School, one in which students dare to explore the most wonderful parts of India.

Here is Pondy, the South Indian Gem.
