Sadhana forest is in Auroville near Pondicherry. This wondeful community is a bunch of amazing like minded volunteers who are committed to convert a higly eroded land into an evergreen forest.
The 90’s hits mix the cab driver played transported us to memories of our childhood. We danced in our seats to ‘My heart goes shala la la la’ and my heart was literally going sha la la at the gorgeous sunset. It felt like we were heading towards a bright peach sunset at the road’s end. The canyons […]
