Eventually, Frankie of Pleasure would give us a small space to build something. The first days we slept upstairs in a small hut....

Cynthia was also a pariah in Auroville. She would get it left and right from the brutal Aurovilians. She went back to Canada later,...

In the first days, when we were still living in Pondy and for the first time had the courage to come and visit Auroville, we stopped at...

We arrive and have to drive around, everywhere, to find a place to stay. So much space, and still: everything occupied? And the excuses:...

In 1984 we would return to Auroville. The first time we visited, it had been my wish to come to Auroville. And then, strangely enough, it...

Well, I predicted there would be more hiccups, but I certainly did not expect to see something like this again THAT soon. I suppose we're...
