March 14th, Pondicherry (Puducherry)
I'm writing quickly from the former French colony of Pondicherry - they just call it "Pondy" - where I've just narrowly escaped death by motorcycle. It's lovely here, like a little piece of France on the East coast of India. Yesterday we woke for the sunrise over the beach, swam in the Bay of Bengal, saw Auroville - the largest neo-hippie commune in the world - ate steak (!!), listened to some great local music, met a gorgeous German journalist, shopped for salwar kamizes, drank some beer, and slept in a guest house run by the local ashram. What a diverse city this is! Heading back to Shanti Bhavan tonight. I'll write more later. A bientot!
