Being a weekend, everyone here was in mood to take a break and head out. In the evening we decided to go at the beach nearby. So we got on our mopeds in a capacity more than it is designed to take. As we stepped out of Auroville, I couldn’t help but notice the houses. The color pallettes of the buildings here are nowhere near modest. They are flamboyant and will demand attention of the most ignorant eye as well. Bright lavender purple accentuated further with blinding white or the pastel indigo blue with a raspberry red, will make u believe that yes truly there are so many colors in this world. Well this doesn’t stop at buildings, its seeps in to the boats and to the fabrics worn by men and women.

The beach was a bit littered but apart from that it looked as if out of a picture postcard complete with fishing boats and orange skies.
