Europe in India

Pondicherry is a place I have always been fascinated with.  Its a French colonial town about 3 hours south of Chennai and it has a really great laid back feel to it.

I went with Aleema and we stayed the first night at a place halfway between Chennai and Pondi. IT was a good place to rest and the surprise delight was the live ghazals that were being sung the next morning.  I was in heaven - my favourite ghazals being played by the beach!  I wont forget that moment in a hurry!

We ...

... A lot of students went home for the holiday so this was for the people that are still here on campus. Many students performed traditional dances to their native states and sang. It was a lot of fun. Everyone was going wild. One guy told jokes in Hindi which must have been hilarious because everyone was laughing and screaming. They really know how to celebrate here. Afterwards they lit ...

Auroville and the Matrimandir

... out of a million people, only one person will truly understand it’s significance. The discs on the outside are made up of leaves of 24K gold. New comers go in for 15 minutes their first time. As with many Indian places, we had to take our shoes off before we entered. They gave us all white socks to wear because The Mother wanted everything inside the actual meditation area white. We sat on plush white carpet with cushions. There ...

Life Lately

... people come in to shadow and help out isn&#8217;t very common here. Hopefully I will find something soon.<br><br>One of the things I really enjoy about being here is not having such a busy schedule. I was really happy with how my life was at home and wouldn&#8217;t have it any other way. Here I feel like I&#8217;m able to slow down a bit and enjoy things I otherwise wouldn&#8217;t be able enjoy at home. The other students that I ...

Taste of Paradise

... it was really hard for her to find a place to live because being a single lady doesn&#8217;t mean much here in Indian society. Many people wouldn&#8217;t let her rent or buy from then for that sole reason. She said it was the same way when she was looking for a job. Crazy how far ahead most of the Western world is in that sense, albeit there is still so much more room for improvement. My final class starts tomorrow so I will ...

Road Trip to Pondicherry for the day

... us to feel sick as the driver was weaving, stopping and passing in &amp; out of traffic. We didn't realize it until the way home, that our driver was trying to get us back so he could do another road. Chandra had to talk to the driver after which our drive was much more enjoyable. There are no main highways so we took the local ...

Community Living @ Sadhana Forest In Auroville

... is an emerging international township of over 2000 people from India and over 40 other nations. Eventually there will be 50 000 people living there. The activities done by the inhabitants are many and various. They include village development, education, business, land restoration and afforestation, research into renewable energy and experimental construction, health care and varied cultural activities. During my time there it became apparent that there's alot ...

A final push?!!!

... British council to do a project related to Darwin for his 200th anniversary but found out recently I wasn't successful. This would have paid for work related to wood called 'Hardwired for Lignin'. This was gutting, especially as they delayed the outcome for months longer then originally presented........boo boo Brit Council. Anyhow work I was going to do in Kerala and Tamil Nadu came to nought as well. So what is the world of trees trying to tell me exactly....keep ...

... drukke markt bezocht en gezien hoe ze wierook maken. In de Childrens Trust wonen ongeveer vijfenveertig jongens en meisjes van vijf tot vijfentwintig jaar. Het is opgezet door Nederlandse vrijwilligers, kijk maar eens op www.kindereninindia.org. Niet alle bewoners zijn wees, velen hebben nog minstens een ouder maar weinig kansen voor een goed bestaan zonder de Trust. Het was een levendige groep, vaak sliepen kinderen met zn vijven op een kamer, het is heel normaal ...

... anything wrong when there are no rules. Everyone basically understands this, so there is rarely any reason for road rage. You expect everyone to cut you up, pull out unexpectedly, brake suddenly (without brake lights) or turn without indicating or checking their mirrors (assuming they have any). The same goes for both pedestrians and animals. You have to assume they will step out without looking, make a sudden and unexpected dash across the road or simply decide ...
