Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

The words of Willie Wonka reverberated in my mind ” Tremendous things are in store for you, wonderful surprises await you!” As I walked into the thicket, full of excitement as we entered Mason and Co chocolate factory in Auroville. It was a beautiful bungalow in Auroville, nestled in the trees all around. Mason and…

From Fibre to Paper

It’s been a long time since I felt so calm and connected. It’s a wonder how life can go about and we, in our rush just trudge along without pausing and taking the time to connect with ourselves and just feel the earth around us. And so, it started, a quiet day in Auroville, with…
