Thanks to our Tamil community for organising such joyful celebration of India's major festival! And thanks to our ever present Manohar for recording it!
Thanks to Auronet (also News & Notes) editors for patiently explaining to people how to post about items looking for new owners - without using the 'for sale' language.
It may seem a small thing, but words become thoughts (or is it the other way around?), and price tags make a marketplace. Is everything for sale these days, here also?
Real gratitude to Eric Avril for his care in helping Aurovilians who want to get an Aadhaar card, by arranging with the authorities to make it possible here in Auroville, rather than going to Pondicherry.
Like it or not, such things are useful sometimes. And we are blessed as a community that some of our own people can help sometimes to make it feel less onerous. Om.
Sitting under the shade of the sacred Banyan Tree at Matri Mandir, was a feeling a deep sense of gratitude for everyone and everything who gave birth to Auroville and are working towards realising its vision.

Eric, for organizing Aadhaar Camp in Auroville. You saved plenty of people from the hardships of running to Puducherry for more than one times.
