Travelling is always a source of joy and education, especially when one is going out with friends. We as a class went to Pondicherry as a part of our DTCP (Digital Technology and Creative Thinking) module. We started our journey from college at 7AM and reached Pondicherry at around 10:15 AM. We visited Auroville which is an experimental township in the Viluppuram district of Pondicherry. It was founded in 1968 by Mirra Alfassa (“the Mother”) and designed by architect Roger Anger. In Auroville, we visited the famous Matrimandir which is the most prominent landmark within Auroville and it is located right in the centre of the township.The Matrimandir is known as the ‘soul of the city’. It is a place for acquiring peace and meditation. We made sketches of the Matrimandir and clicked pictures of Auroville. We started our return journey from Pondicherry at 4:30PM.

It was a different experience for us to visit such places which is known for peace and human unity. My friends and I really enjoyed the trip and hope our college would take us to such places again where we get to learn many new things.

Thank you
