Moments turn magical when indulged in with open heart and deeper understanding.... Would anyone have ever imagined that an ancient banyan tree of a remote village, could feature in Ang Lee’s 2012 Oscar-winning film Life of Pi which earned four 2013 Oscar wins, including Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, and Best Visual Effects ? Yes, it is here, just 20 km from Pondicherry.
