Exploring into Pondy a bit more...

Eating local food on traditional banana leaves, Tamil cinema movie...where the people literally scream at the "hero" actor through the entire film, plus an intermission. Quite the movie experience with red velvet walls and chandeliers in the theater.  I have found a new love: Rose milk, mmmmmmm. I found rose ice cream as well! Rose heaven!!!

I still cannot get over the beautiful rice powder art everywhere known as Kolum.  Different everyday and everywhere. Art is everywhere and I am always excited to walk the streets displaying these creations that meet the energy of the day. 

I visited the Pondy lighthouse that is just 30 years old. I ran all the way up, counting the steps along the way- 259 steps! I am surprised I am riding on vespas all the time- the common mode of transportation
